CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL B.—The EnglithlAm-
balador here, Lord Eictx, has received the fol-
lowing important accounts from Egypt :
After the affair of Aboukir, and the fevere
aaion of the t3th March, General Mason drew
together his whole force to oppose the progrefs of
the Englifh, who had advanced to the vicinity of
Alexandria. The Englifh General Sir RALPH
Assacaomay, in this fituation determined to at-
tack the French, and gave battle to General Ma-
xey on the sad of March, defeated him, and com-
pelled him to retreat. About a,OOO French re-
mained dead on the field; spowere taken prifoners,
and their Cavalry, confiding of 2,500 men, were
entirely difperfed. The remainder of the troops
of General Mswoo retired, partly to Cairo, and
partly to Alexandria. The Englifh Army on the
soh, proceeded on its march for Alexandria,
which it was expeaed muft fpeedil be obliged to
furrender. The lots of the Engli(h in the -battle
of the 22d was confiderable as the French fought
with incredible bravery. The Englifh fleet has
chafed a French fquadron, which was coming to
bring fiiccours to Egypt. On this occation the
former took a convoy of Danali and Swedifh
(hips, accompanied by two frigates. The whole
confided of nearly too merchant veffels, partly
laden with corn, which the Engli(h fleet imme-
diately fern for England. General ABERCROPISY
Rlptiied op the 25th of March, a Corps of 6,000
Arnauts, which was to be fent to him by the
GLAND VIZI FR."
COP EN H AOSII, MAY a.—Admiral PAR II PR is
VW with his fleet in Kioge Bay, where in conic-
quence of the Convention, it is furnithed with all
neceffary provilians.
On account of the delays occafioned by making
out paffes for the (hips bound to Norway, with
grain, and provifions, Sir HYDE Prices has
given orders that all fuch flips Mall be fuffered to
proceed without pales, as it is not his wide, in the
prefent circomaances, to interrupt or diilurb the
trade of Ruffia, Denmark, or Sweden, in the Bal-

Bar sett tr t, Mar 6.—The preparations made•
by the Pruffians here are of an extrordinary na-
ture : Along the banks of the Weer, and on the
heights acrofs the country, high pole,. have been
ereled with materials for alarming the country by
illumination; they are well guarded. They are
intended to convey fignals in cafe of an boll& de-
(cent being attempted upon the diets, in which
event the different corps of Pruffian troops dif-
perfed throughout the country, are immediately
to repair to a particular potation, where the whole
army is to be concentrated. The Commanding
Officers of the Pruflians are uling every art to re-
concile the nlinds of the inhabitants to their pre-
fent fituation. They alfert pofitively, that the
meafure by which they are now in poffefilon of our
Diltrieti has taken place in confequence of a pre-
vious underilanding between the Kim° of ENG-
LAIID and his PIII/illAll MAJESTY, and for the pur-
ple of preventing any atttmpts of the French and
of the Emperor PAUL. They add too, that they
expeB, in the courfe of lefs than a month, to eva-
cuate the Hanoverian Territory.
Cur Haysm, Mar 7.—An inconfiderable part of
the Danilh flotilla has come down the Elbe, and
is now off this place, where it has been for three
or four days. We do not, however, apprehend
from it any holtile intention. The Danes have
not yet left Hamburgh, though their departure has
been daily expeeted for the lat week. The Pruf-
flans, who are alfo here, will, it is laid, leave us
in about a month.
HAGVE, MAY a.—Oeneral ANC BREA v at length
arrived here on the 29th ult. after having been ex-
peeled for ten months pail.. His Staff and his Do-

He was yeftcrday with the Direetory ; but there
was no audience or public reception, fuch as took
place on the return of General Baum! from the
campaign of North Holland, Atm steau having

jutant from the Fit 3 r Cos sot has arrived at Dun.
kirk with orders to haften the equipment of the

This morning difpatches were received at the
Admiralty from Rear-Admiral Sir ROBERT CAL-
E/PR, of his Majefty's flip PRINCE of WALES, of
98 guns, containing the pleating intelligence that

ALL THE DANISH . ,
AND SWEDISH WEST INDIA ISLANDS
Are now in the polreflion of the Britith forces.
Our readers will recoiled that Sir ROSERT
CALDER'S fquadron was fent out foon after the
French fquadron, under GANTHEAUME, was
I known to have put to fea. The general opinion
was that he had gone in purfuit of the latter,
and it is pollible that his orders were to follow
him to a certain extent ; but when the French got
into the Mediterranean, where we had a fuffici-

ent force to look after them, Sir ROBERT proceed-
ed on the main obje& of Lis voyage, which now
turns out to have been the capture of the Danifh and
Swedifh Weft India colonies, namely the iflands
of St, Martins and St. Croix belonging to Den-
mark, and St. Bartholomew belonging to Sweden.
In this important miffion he has completely fug-
ceedcd, nor does the turn that affairs have taken
in the North at all leffen the value of the fervice,
as the poffeffion of thefe colonies will enable the
Britifh Cabinet to prove, that it had no finifter aim
in the Late rupture, but fought only to maintain
certain rights which were deemed infeparable from
our exiftence as a maritime power.

The contents of the difpatehes received on Sa-
turday from Egypt, were publilhed the fame even-
ing in the Gazette. As we then Rated, they re-
late only to the aaions on the Eth and 13th, in
which our lots was 2045 killed, wounded, and
miffing.
Yefterday arrived the Hamburgh mail which
fell due. The general opinion on the Continent
kerns to be, that the difpute with the Northern
Powers will be adjufted ; but though the naviga-
tion, of the Elbe is now free, the Proffian troops
Rill continue to occupy the Hanoverian dominions,

and the embargo oniritifh property in Rnflia will
not, it is Laid, be removed before Tome dircufhon.
According to accounts from Copenhagen, of the
ail inftant, Admiral Pas etc (lilt lies with his fleet
in the Bay of Kioge. He has direaed that flips
carrying corn and provitions to Norway, (hall be
i permitted to proem! without waiting for paires, as

it is not his stint, in the prefent eireundl.inees, to
interrupt or dillurb the trade ef Raffia, Denmark
cr Eweden, in the Baltic or :Le C.tttegtt.

The letters from Conilantinople ate of the loth,
and Vienna of the 25th Aptil, and contain Come
details refpe6ing the aftion near Alexandria,
stated by them to have taken place on the 2:d of
March. They agree in fubilance with Lord
ELGIN'S difpatchea of the 4th April, and are evi-
dently from the fame fource. It is added that on
the a4th March our army was to advance to attack
Alexandria, in hopes of carrying the place. We
may loon expert farther official details from Egypt,
to remove the prefent anxiety refpeCting the battle
on the 211 l or zzd at leaft, if no with the iffuc of
the affault intended to be made on the 24th.
Yefterday and this morning we received Paris
Journals to the Bth inft. inclufive. They do r.nt
contain any thing official from Egypt, which is
now the chief quarter to which all eyes arc turned,
but are much occupied in controverting the (late-
ments which appeared in the Englifh papers ter. or
twelve days ago refpeCting the a&ion on the zt 11
of March.
RefpeOling the importance (tamped upon the
firft rumours of that battle, by the names of Meffis.
LOCK and KEIR, and Marquis de LUCHE SIN I, the
Pruffian Ambaffador, who was mentioned as the
author of the ftatement, they oder chat they hold
as fufficient to do it away entirely—a coatradiaion
on the authority of the Marquis himfelf. The fol-
lowing is copied from the journal de Dienfain di la
Paine, of the 7th :
" We are expreCsly authorifed to contradill for-
mally, and in every point, the article refpeCting
the Marquis de LE/CHISINI, contained iu an
Englifh Paper, of the firft of May, and co-
pied into our Paper of yeflerday. The foregoing
is the fubftance of a letter from M. de Luc Hum:,
and it is publithed not only by his authority, but
by his exprefs defire.
" The refult of the whole of the intelligence
_ _

refpeaing Egypt, proves no doubt that nothing is
lefs certain, than the vieory which the Englilh
flatter themfelves they have obtained. We ac-
knowledge at the fame time that nothing yet
guarantees the viaory of the French announced
in letters from Malta, which we have publifhed.
Prudence Teems to fay to both parties ; -"Depend
yet on nothing ; but it does not exclude the hopes
given by' probability, that every thing is Dill in fa-
vour of the French !"
The official paper gives on authority the follow-
ing notice :
" Pasts, MAY 7.—To gratify the impatience
of the Public, we are authorized to Rate, that

Government has received no intelligence from
Egypt lance that brought by the Ofiris, and the
Public ought to give no credit to what has beep
hitherto raid in the Englilh Journals refpeeling the
defeat of the French army in Egypt."—Moniteun

PARIS, MAY s.
A letter from the Danifh Conful at Tanis,quoted
in the Nantes Paper, announces that Peace w..s
concluded on the Bth March laft, between his Da-
nifh and the Regency of that city.
The following are the names of the fix depart-

capital Vercelli—of Marengrythe capital Alexan-
dria—of Tanaro, the capital Atli—of the Doria,
the capital Ivica—of the Stura, the capital COni.
It appears that the city of Aofta is not included in
this divifion, which favours the conjeaure that it
is to be united to Helvetia.
