Difpatchee (in duplicate), of which the following are copies,
have this day been received at the °See of the Right Hon.
Lord HOZIRT,ODC of hlsMajcfty's Principal Secretaries of
State, from Lientenant.General the Honourable Sir Joss

Earl o7ELOIN to the Right Hon. Lord HAW CallsOßT.
Extradt of a Difpatcb from the Earl of ELGIN, to Lord

HAWRIIIIIIOIIf, dated Conitardiaopie, Jul? 18,1801.

I have the fatisfaEtion of acquainting your Lord-
fhip, that the inclofed letters to Lord HOBART
contain the intelligence of the furrender of Grand
Cairo to the combined forces under General HUT-
CHINSON, the VI Z UR and the CAPITAM PAcHA.

My Lord—l have nothing new or of vary elfin-
tial import to communicate, but I avail myfelf of
the opportunity of a Meffenger going to Conftan
tinople to inform you that we are now encamped
near Gizeh, which is on the oppofite fide of the ri-
ver to Cairo. We mean to ered batteries in the courfe
of twenty four hours : It cannot hold ont long,
as it is a very weak place ; but it covers a bridge
of communication which the French have over
the Nile, and it is therefore effential to us to have it
in our poffeffion. This operation cannot lift above
four or five days at molt : I then mean to crofs the
river and join the army of the GRAND VI zi
who is at prefent encamped vffy near Cairo : we
(ball then befiege the place, which is garrifoned by
four or five thoufand French, bat their works are
very extended, and would require a much greater
number of men to defend them. Great delays
have been occafioned in this operation from the
low Rate of the river, and from the Bar of the Nile
at Rofetta, whichris frequently impaffible for ten
days together, Illithat our march has been much
retarded. The difficulty of procuring provifions
for the army, and the obftaries which we encoun-
tered in bringing the heavjt artillery up the river
(which has not yet been entirely accompliffied)
have been very great. However we have now a
fufficiency to begin the fiege. I have the honour
to be, &c. (Signed) j. H. MUTCHINSON.

My Loan—The Combined Armies advanced
on both fides of the River on the aIR inftant.
The Britifh Troops, and thole of his Highnefs
the CAPSTAN PACHA, Gizeh, on the kft
Bank of the Nile, whilft the army of his Highnefs
the GRAND VIZIER moved forward, and took a
pofition nearly within cannon-fliot of Cairo. On
the 22d, in the morning, the enemy fent out a Lg
of truce, and informed me, that they wifhed to
treat for the evacuation of Cairo, and the forts
thereunto belonging, upon certain conditipns. Af-
ter a negociation of feveral days, which was con
dulled by Brigadier General Hots, with much
judgment and ability, they agreed to furrender
the town and forts on the conditions which I have
the honour to inclofe.

We took polfeffion of the Gate of Gizeh at five
o'clock yefterday evening, and alfoof the fort Sul-
kolki on the Cairo fide of the river : hoftages have
been mutually exchanged, and the final evacuation
will take place in about ten days.
I should fuppofe that there are near fix thou•
fend troops of all kinds in the town, but I (peak
without a perfed knowledge on the fubjea, as I
have not yet received any returns.
This has been a long and arduous Qrviee: the
troops, from the great heat of the weather, the
difficulty of the navigation of the River, and the
entire want of roads in the country, have fuffered
a confiderable degree of fatigtie, but both men
and officers have lubmitted to it with the greatell
patience, and have manifefted a zeal for the ho-
nour of his Majefly's arms that is above all pane-
gyric ; the conduit of the foldiers has been or-
derly and exemplary ; and a difcipline has been
preferred which would have done honour to any
troops. i am extremely obliged to Lieutenant
Colonel aissraurnsa, (Ivarter Mailer General,
for the great seal and ability which be has (hewn,
under very difficult cireumilances, in forwarding
the public fervice. From Generals Cita DOC K and
Dolma, who were the General Officers employed
immediately under my orders, I have derived the
greatefl affiflance, and I beg leave to recommend
them as highly deferving of his Majeity's favour.
The exertions of Captain Sreritaasom of the navy
have been extremely laborious and conaant during.
this long march ; they have done every thing that
was poffible to forward our fupplies; and indeed
without their powerful aid, it would have bee* im
poffible to have proceeded. Your Lordihip will
recoiled that the River is extremely low at
rearms of the year, the mouth of the Nile impaills-
ble for days together, and the Mance from Ru.

After our Paper was at prefs on Saturday, the
Hamburgh mail due the preceding Wednefday
arrived, and at the fame time Major MONTRISOII
with difpatchcs from General Hurentsisom, an-
nouncing the capitulation of the French troops in
Cairo. They were publifhed yetlerday in a Ga-
zette Extraordinary. There had been no attack
on the place, and the very favourable terms grant-
ed to the enemy Phew that the Commander in
Chief mull have had powerful motives for withing
to avoid one. We hope the prefent capitulation
be better ribferved than the Treaty of El Arifch.

This important conquefl, which is rendered the
more advantageous by being gained without blood-
filed, is undoubtedly the prelude to the expulfion
of the French from Egypt. It is altogether a moll
brilliant atchievement for the Britifh arms I In
four months, a handful of troops, inferior in num-
bers to the enemy (who were in poffeffion and every
where acknowledged), new to the climate, and ex-
poled to every fpecics of annoyance, have fucceed-
ed in the deliverance of a country, to the attainment
f hich the CHIEF CONit/ c had bent all the talent.
all the ambition of his foul, and upew which
had lavithed the ftrengtb of the Republic.
Yc fie rilay another Mail arrived from Mambo rgh
zh.: contents of which, being principally details
*cipeding Egypt, have been rendered unintere'-
nag by the publication of General Ho rc HINSON'S
l'fpatches The foreign articles by the Mails are
barren of any flatements from which we can cone&
4ny probable iffue of the grand fyflem of indem-
nities, which at prefent engroffes the attention
f: the Continent. Nothing indeed is faid on this
l'thjeCt. In an article from Peterfburgh it is men.
.ioned that DUROC, the French Miniller, having
'nmpletely failed in the obje& of his million
we.. on the eve of returning to Paris. The fa-

cility with which Lord Sr. HF LEN'S concluded
his negociation, mutt h.tve tended, in a very
linking degree, to convince him that 'Britirh
influence was founded too deeply, to be fhaken by
any temporary projeds of advantage which he
might have it in charge to propofe for the purpole
of fecuring the good will of the Ruffian Court.
It is Paid that an Englifh and Turkifh fqua-
dron has failed to enforce the tribute payable by
the DEI, of ALGIERS to the PORTE. A hint is
alfo thrown out of a fcheme which is in agitation
to curtail the depredations of the Barbary Pirates,
and indeed it is impoflible to think without
aftonifhment of the outrages of which they have
been guilty for a long period with comparative
impunity, and without confidering their lawlefs
plunder as a difgrace to all the civilized nations of
Europe.
The preparations along the Dutch and French
coatis Rill continue, and their ofienfible object is
defence again ft any attack from our fleet. No lefs
than too,ooo men are Paid to be collected betwixt
Dunkirk and Breft, but we believe this number is
much exaggerated.
In the courfe of yefterday, we alfo received Pa-
ris Journals to the zoth inft. inclufive. Though
they were in porfeffion of our fira accounts refpec-
ting the fall of Cairo, they are full of accounts of
the complete defeat of the Anglo-Turfyb army ! ! &c. &c.
General Hu rc H INSON'S letter will loon put an end
to the manufadure of French vidories in the Earl.

The principal article in thefe journals is the official
accountgiven by LAToucHETttkVILLE of the late
attack on the veffels off the harbour of Boulogne.
From the extravagant reprefentations in which the
French are apt to indulge on the fubjeCt of naval
aCtions, where, by any polllbility they think them-
felves intitled to claim the viaory, we expeCted to
have met with a much more pompous defcription of
the affair, and were a good deal furprifed to find In
plain and fimple a narration of particulars. The
French Admiral confines bimfelf merely to a short
ftatement, which though in feveral inftances exag-
gerated, in order to place in a more confpicuous point
of view the bravery of thole ferving under him, is
generally contiftent with the liatements of our own
commanders. He does not pretend to deny that
our brave tars boarded their veffels with the utmoff
intrepidity; and it is eary to colic& from his Rate-
ment that they were compelled to retire merely in
confequence of the impraftieability of getting the
(hips off, and the ftrong fire of mufquctry kept up
on them from the troops. He denies, however,
t hat a tingle (hot was fired from the land batteries.
from a dread of wounding or killing their own men.
The lofs we fußained in killed and wounded we know
to be highly exaggerated:—be Rates it to be not
lefs than four or five hundred men. The lots they
themfelves fuffered is on the contrary dimini(hed to
a degree which exceeds all belief. The ftatement
of the affair is given without the fmalleft comment,
either in the official Journal or in any other of the
prints. We cannot pretend to account for a filence
which is fo contrary to all their habits on fimilar
occafons.

The French, to be lure, in our laft attack upon
Boulogne, had Come caufe for exultation : they
are right, however, in adopting moderation on the
occafion, as it is poffible their triumph may prove
very fhort•lived ; for we learn by our letters from
Deal this morning, that

ADMIRAL LORD NELSON
has again failed from the Downs with feveral gun.
boats, bombs, &c. and of courfe we may foon ex-
ped to hear of his being on fome part of the ene-
my's coal.

Government have learnt that feveral gun-boats
have efcaped from Brell, probably bound fur Come
other port on the French coal!. Notice of their
efcape was laft night fent off to the different Port
Admirals. _

....
`Thirty-fivegun-brigs and fchooners have efcaped
from Dunkirk to Calais. Some of our cruizers,
with a view to prevent their paffage, had moored
clofe in chore, which the French obferving, and
being favoured by a dark night, flood out to fea,
and reached Calais in the morning, before our vef-
fels could get up with them.
Circular letters have been fent to all Naval Of-
ficers to repair on board their refpcElive (hips im-
mediately.
A fufficient force for tiv fir-tie/Nom of Madeira is
immediately to be embarked for that Ifland.
Tuefday the Right Rev. the LORD BISHOP of
MEATH and family left Edinburgh on their way
for Dublin. •
Lord PALMA'S, with that humanity which adds
lufire to his rank, and does honour to his namc,
has ordered an enquiry to be made into the truth
of certain rumours which have been circulating re-
f-peeling the provillons ferved out to the conviets on
board the hulks in Portfmonth Harbour being un-
wholelome. Should there rumours prove to be at
all well founded, there can be no doubt that the
delinquents will be punilhed in an exemplary
manner.
