This morning his MAJESTY, accompanied by
the QUEEN, and Princeires AUGUSTA and Etiza-
HE rH, took an airing round Hampftead and High,
gate, attended by an efcort of light horfe.
The Klee looked remarkably well after fo
fever. an illnefs, bui walks rather lame, from the
tire& of his indifpoiltion.
Lail night Capt. Dosonv arrived at tle Admi-
ralty, with difpatches from Lord KEITH in the
Mediterrqnean, Capt. Aust., x arrived at the fame
time with difpatches from General AEIRCItONIBT.
The contents of thefe difpatches have not yet
tranfpired, but, as auo, a variety of reports are
in circulation.
Private letters arc laid to have been received
from an Officer of rank in the Egyptian expedi-
tion, dated Satalia Bay, in Natolia, January tot!.
There letters mention, that numberlefs delays had
occurred in the preparations for landing, that ten
days had been loft is waiting for the Turkifh gun-
boats, which had at length arrived, but were (cares-
ly fit for fervice.
It is added that the enemy had remoo effeca
tive troops, but they do not notice whether they
are French or partly natives. There was reafon
to fuppofe that Tome trifling reinforcements had
reached Alexandria, in fmallvelrels that had efca-
ped the vigilance of our crnifers, by running dole
in !Lore. The Expedition was expated to land
in a few days.

This morning we received French Journals up
to the loth infant inclufive. The intelligence
they bring is not of fo much importance as might
have been expelled :—An Article under the bead
of Paris, in the Mosiseur of the loth, faTes " rkSti
letters received there from India, by a Quirt routs,
(late, that the Maltrattas had declared war again*
the Englifh, and that feveral aftions-had already
taken place."
The Moniteur contains nothing refpefling the
fituatioq of affairs in Egypt. A private latex:
from Conffantinople, dated February 1, only Suds
that the Engin to the number of about twelve or
fifteen thoulsnd had landed at Macri, on the coat
Of Natolia I but that the operations of the Turks
%e'er; consiu4ted with fo much. flo wisefsand
that they placed very little dependance on tbeAT
co•operAion.
In the Ckf dr Cathrei of tho 64, an 4flidei
dated Pifa, February ilds, fays, " Several Lettatt
from the Levant Rate, that the Emig& laaShil
near Alexandria, where General Mason wan
wiiiing for than v,ith a part of his nosy idu,

they have been completely beat, and have lofi
;coo men, moft of them made prironers ; the reft
re-embarked in confufion, and took fhelter in
Malta." This article teems however entitled to
1::ry little credit. A paragraph in the Journal des
I) 14urs de la Pat:-ie, of the fame date as the Clef
Cabinet, mentions the arrival of Generals 0: zy-
% and DEVAUX, from Egypt; and adds,
t the French troops at the time of their de-
r.lrture were in a formidable (late, and preparing
tz, give the Engin a good reception.
The Moniteur, of the 9th inliant, contains two
State Papers, viz. An Imperial decree to the Diet
General of the Empire ; and a letter from his Im.
r.rial Majelly to the Elators, Princes; and States
of the Empire. In the former of there papers,
e.ited Vienna, February a t, his Imperial Majefly,
ui:cr informing the Diet, that he has concluded a
Treaty of Peace with the French Republic, and
that the French Plenipotentiary had propofed, in
moil precife manner, that his Imperial Majef-
ty should Ilipulate, at the fam6 time, for the Em-
Ore, concludes as follows : to The motives which
induced his Imperial lklajefty to conclude this
peace, will by their force determine the Eledors,
Princes, and States to accelerate, as much as pof-
fi.l., the ratification of the Treaty fubmitted to
them; efpecially as the French Government
i]as made to depend on the fpeedy approbation

COPT OF A LETTER weirrrit TO THE MARITIME
PREFECT AT ANTWERP, ir Y C. DUPOUY, OF DUN-
KIRK. Dunkirk, March 4.
Citizen Prefea—Captain Jor.y who commands
it Petit-llunkirque privateer, which I fitted out
at this port, has taken four Englifh fifhing boats :
iot.e of theta has arrived at Flufhing : with the fate
of the other three, I am unacquainted.
A particular and tacit convention between the
two GovernMenti had fafpended for a time all
againft Mennen: it was firit broken by
the Englifh. Captain Joty, by capturing thefe
four tithing yards exercifed, according to the terms
of his letter of marque, the rights of war and of
repriiAs. He bad hc...:n informed while at Mend,
that the Englifh had taken lonic fifhermen of that
vort. He was ignorant that our Goverrimeni
had thought it belonged to its dignity, to give to
the Englifh Government a rare example of gene-
rofity, by drelaring that the injuftice of the pre-
tence it employed to flop the French (Mermen,
would make no change in its determination not to
interrupt the Englifh fiffiery. Captain jots had
rcafon therefore to think himfelf authorifed to
take there four fifhing veffels. I have the honour
to falute you refpeafully. (Signed) no rorw.
Orders have been given that the four fifhermen
Ind their boats fhould be fet at liberty.
C. Orro, in anfwer to the note which lie ad-
dreffed to the Tranfport-Office on the 2tl of Feb.
has received the following letter :
Sir.-44 Since I had the pleafure of feting you
this Morning, I have been informed that the Se-
cretary of State has recommended to the Lords of.
the Admiralty to fufpend the execution of the or-
der given to capture the Miring boats, until his
bfajelly (hall be donfulted on the fubjea. I have
the honour to be, &c. (Signed)

The Aide-de-Camp of General Madattorr,
Commandant of the Ifle of France, is arrived at
Paris, and has been prcfented to the Firft Conful.
He brought with him difpatches, containing a very
latisfaaory account of that colony, fo interefting
to the profperity of our commerce. The greateft
tranquillity prevails in it ; the blacks are fully em-
ployed, and all chars difplay the utmt'fi aais
We learn by letters which have arrived from
India, by the (hone(' route, that waY has been de-
clared by the Malwattas againft the Englifh. The•
pc di tion which had been ordered at Madras. and
which fomc Paid to be deflined againft the Me of
France, and others againft Egypt, has been coml.
termanded. Several Faft-failing velfels had ht•en
riifpatched to the Cape of Good Hope for aff.:l-
- ; but it is much doubted whether the er-
nor of the Cape can feud any, becanfe fo mu. ii dif-
content prevails there againft England, that the
foldiers cannot go to the diftance of half a league
without being fired at by the inhabitants.—Moni-

EXTRACT or A PRIVATR LITTER FROMCOESTAM-

TINOPER, DATIL/ FEBRUARY 1, 1800.

The news in this country are the fame as I gave
you a fortnight ago. The Englifh, who to the
number of ty,ooo, according to come, and of
12,000, Wording to others, have difembarked at
'lai. to Natalia, have little hopes of fuccth on,

account of the flow meafures of the Turks. The
Captain Pacha fill employs tergiverfation, with-
out, however, refilling to co-operate with the
fquadron, which is in the arfenal, and which can-
not put to fea till towards the middle of March.
The army of the Grand Vizier is in the grealefl
diforganization and wretchednefs. The Plague has
made dreadful ravages among the troops : the
Lady of the Englifh General KOEHLER has died
of it. In this Rate of things how can military
operations be combined ?
From the quantity of tranfports and viauallers
which the Englifh have taken up, and which they
mean to convert into flying magazines, it is to
be prefumed that they intend to effeEt a landing
on the coaft, but, according to every appearance,
they will not foon be able to leave Macri, and if
they attempt a difembarkation in the month of
April, a guit of wind from the Lybian defarts, a
wind infupportable even to the natives of the
country, will be fufficient to make them re-im-
bark, if the French fhould permit them to land ;
for I am Rill of opinion that they have it in their
power to repulfe them, if they do not form fome
plot among themfelves in order to get back to
France.

The Turks teem far from entering heartily into
hoftile meafures, for the purpofe of co-operating
with the Englifh, in Egypt, and this circumftance
alone may make the entcrprife mifcarry. They,
are alfo jealous, and are very fallible, that Egypt
in the hands of the Engin would give a more
fatal blow to the Ottoman grandeur, than it would
do in the hands of the French.

TUNIS, FEBRUARY 6.

The port of Goletta is filled with French mer-
chantmen. Whatever may be the threats of Lord
KEITH, and the efforts of the Englilh agents, we
are certain that the Dey as well as thofe of Algiers
and Tripoli, will maintain a good underfianding
with the French republic. They have juft now
renewed the order to their corfairs not to moleft
the French veffels.

ALGIERS, FIBRIURY 14.

C. Du sots Ttaixv ILLS, CommilTary-General
for the Commercial Relations of the French repub-
lic with tho Regency of Algiers, has received
orders from his government to repair to Alicant.
He has carried thither eighty French who were
Haves, and whom the Dey fet at liberty. He is
preparing to return to this city. The threats of
the Englifh, and the chiaour of the Porte will be
no obflacle to his reception.

The commandant of an Algerine corfair, at the
inffigation of the Engin Agent, hoiflea the Re-
publican flag on his poop, which is the fignal of
war, but the Dey made him pull it down, and
canted him to be puniihed by a hundred blows
with a llick on the foles of his feet.
LEGHORN, FEBRUARY 6.

A Pclacre and five other Genoefe velfels have
this day maintained a glorious engagement with
an Englith frigate and a cutter, which were the
only (hips blockading our port. Though the lat-
ter were fupported by their armed boats, the Ge-
noefe obliged them to retire, and entered the port
with their merchandife.

TURIN, FEB. 26.

Letters received here this day from Milan, po-
fitively affert, that an armillice has been conclud-
ed between the French army, and that of the
King of Naples, who has engaged to expel the
Englifh from his ports, a preliminary neceffary
before entering into a negotiation for peace with
France. We are atfured that one of the condi-
tions of the armillice is, that the French fhall
put garrifons into all the Neapolitan ports.

CIVITA-VECCPIA, FETIROARY 9.

About midnight, between the Gth and 7th init.
a heavy cannonade was heard at fca, which con.
tinned more than two hours, and which alarmed
the whole town. Next morning we fAW enter the
port, a (mall veircl named the Lion, belonging to
the navy of his Catholic Majefly, mountiug eight
founpounders, and commanded by Don JOSEPH
pa DomtNic Ts, Lieutenant de Naiircau, bringing
with her an Englifh brig, called the Naples Packet,
of twelve fi:.p;,unclel. and t‘vo howitzers, com-
manded by Captain NVILLIAM BALL, and having
on board Sc pizked men.
She had failed. the preceding evening with a
frefit breeze, and during the night met the Spa-
niard, by whom the was vigoroufly attacked. The
'two veifels fought for more than two hours, firing
grape fhot ; but, at !aft, notwithltanding the dif-
proportion in point of force, the Spaniard hoarded
the Englifh veffel, and got poffeilion ofher.
