EXTRACT Of A LETTER FROM CAPT. LEVZILLE, OF

THE PRIVATEER LA PSYCHE, DATED ST. CROIZ,
IN THE ISLAND OF TENERIFFE, MARCH 23.
" I have fixed the fplicre of my cruize in the
neighbourhood of Madeira : on the 21ft of Feb.l
I took the Sally, of London, bound to Guinea, of
little value.—This was my firft prize, and I dif-
patched her for this place, where fhe arrived—
her cargo is worth about forty thoufand francs.
On the 24th February I captured in tight of Ma-
deira the Jeune Lyonnaife, of London, bound to
Jamaica. We fball get 200,000 francs for this
veffel and cargo.—She has been carried into this
port. On the 28th I captured the Alfred, of Lon-
don, bound to Tobago, worth about 200,000
francs.—This veffel is not yet arrived. On the
ifl of March I captured the brig Whitworth, of
Briftol, bound from Madeira to the Colonies, la-
den with wine—not yet arrived. On the 2d If
March I captured a large Portuguefe fhip, and
three brigs bound from Lifbon to Fernambone ;
,the three malted veffel mounting zo guns, 9 and
52-pounders, and a brig of to guns, 9-pounders,
formed themfelves in a line and made a refillancc

of 20 minutes, during which time the reft made
their efcape. It was fix in the morning, and at
two in the afternoon I came up with the latter.—
I took the value of from 30,000 to 4.0,000 francs
from on board the third brig, which I burnt as
well as the fourth which was laden with falt, and
convoyed hither the large one called the Amavel
Louifa, and the brig Adive.
I arrived here in the morning of the 16th of
March, having concluded my prizes along the
land, and exchanged two broa.:fides with the fri-
Rate la Metiffe, of lo guns, which was blockading
the port: we fuftamed no lots: the frigate then
bore away, and has not fince appeared.—l can-
not yet afcertain the value of the two laft prizes:
the large fhip has for banal} iron and wine ;
the reft of the hold is filled with dry goods.—
It his blown a gale,, which prevented us from
unloading to-day. The brig is alfo laden
with dry goods. The Portuguefe fay the is very
rich, but they funk their papers. The weather is
fine : in two days the prizes will be unloaded, and
I (hall then continue my cruize. Two of my can-
nons have burft. I have replaced them with four
twelve-pounders: the calms retarded me with my
prises ten or twelve days. My crew is complete ;
and we always outfail every v del we fall in with:
—N. B. Another letter Rates, that this veffel fails
at the rate of thirteen knots an hoar."—Merriterrr.

TAPOSIRIS near ABOUKIR, MARCH 31.. The
deftrnaive ihamtin, or Southerly winds, which
generally fet in at the beginning of this month,
and prevail till May, has,/ not yet annoyed us,
neither have our people hitherto experienced any
injurious inconvenience from the climate. A few
Fick are here, but their numbers are not propor-
tionate to the magnitude of our Army; and the
wounded, confidering the heat of the country, are
furprifingly well. We learn that fuch has for Tome
time been the troubled (late of the country, that
the intercourfe between Cairo and Alexandria has
been wholly carried on by water, as the Turks,
Mamelukes, and Arabs had cut off the land corn-
anunication. Between 3o and 4o reffels laden with
fugal-, coffee, and the other produce of this fertile
country, are in Alexandria, waiting an opportu-
nity to proceed to France. Sir SIDNEY Sutra
commands the Brigade of Seamen and Marines,
and has fix Captains and about twenty Lieute-
nants tinder his orders.--WRIGHT, Box ER, HEE.
Sin, and STOKES; are amongft the latter. Cap."
tarn Mammon commands the Gun-boats on the
Lake, and in a great raeafure cuts off all com-
munication with Roffetta. The Arabs are friendly
to us, and furnifh many neceffaries. A body of
Turks are reported to have landed near Damietta,
which from the falling of the Nile, is aeceffible.
•RHODIS, MARCH 23.-111 a former letter I an.
nounced to you the receipt of advice, that an Army
from India had arrived in the Red Sea, under the
orders of General &lats.—Since the departure of
the Fleet, a Meffenger arrived here with further
difpatches for Lord KEITH, which have been
forwarded to Aboukir. General BAIRD, it it
now hated, has only five thoufand Sepoys with
him, in confequence of the difficulty of providing
rads for the conveyance of a greater number.
The Captain Pacha lately fent Isaac Bsv to
Cairo. The profeffed objed of his million was the
recovery of Tome Turkith veffels which during the
Convention entered Alexandria; but the real oc.
cafien is fuppofed to have originated in a defire to
induce Ntgociations with Manor) independent of
the Englith, or the Vizier, with whom the Captain
Pacha is at enmity. The overture wholly failed,
Mt Noy declaring that he was refolved to maintain
tumfclf in his colony to the laft ettremity. While
ISAAC EBY was at Cairo, MOURAT BET thifted his
camp from Mini& up to Kenneb, and the French
under Donzato r had profited by his influence, and
nrirched up the country, to recover and colleti
the revenues and duties in Upper Egypt, which in-
dependent of his affitlance they could not realize.
General Dos ZALOT was charged with an attempt
to renew the Commercial intercourfe between Up-
per Egypt and the coaft of Arabia, through El
Coffier, but in confequence of the frequent appear-
ance of the Britifla cruizers in the intermediate fea,
Litherto with little faced's.

DAWNING-STRUM, MAY 9, aoi.
A Difpatch addreffed to the Right Honourable 112/11tY Do m-
ons, of which the following is a copy, was this day received
at the Office of the Right Honourable Lord Hosaar, one of
his Iviajefty's Principal Secretaries of State, from General Sir
Ratro Anacaomar, K. B. Commander in Chief of his
Majcfty's troops [erring in the Mediterranean.
Camp before Alexandria, March .6,180 z.
Although it was not originally my intention to
have commenced the operations of the Britifh Ar-
my in Egypt on the fide of Alexandria, yet cir-
,:umflances arofe which induced me to change my
opinion. We were much longer delayed on the
coaa of Afia Minor, than we had at &II any rea-
lm to apprehend; and we were ultimately obliged
to fail from Marrnarice in a very impede& (late
of preparation. lam fully fenfible of the exer-
tions of his Majefty's Ambaffador at the Ottoman
Porte, as well as of the Quarter-Mafter-General,
and the other Officers who were fent forward to
provide for the neceifities of the Army. Our de-
lays originated from other caufes. For a confider-
able time previous to our failing the weather was
extremely boifterous, and the wind contrary. The
moment that it became praflicable to fail with fo
large, a fleet, Lord KEITH put to fea; we left Mar-
marice on the 22d of February, and came in fight
of Alexandria on the aft of March. •

On the ad, the fleet anchored in Aboukir Bay.
Until the 7th the fea ran high and no difembalica-
tion could be effeaed ; on that day every arrange-
ment was comPleted, and on the Bth, the troops
forming the Firft Divifion, confining of the Refer v e
under the command of Major-General !quoit E, the
Brigade of Guards, under the Honourable Major-
General Luntow, and part of the Firft Brigade,
under the command of Major-General COOT e, got
into the boats early in the morning; they had, in
general, from five to fix miles to row, and did not
arrive at the point of landing till ten o'clock. Th,
front of difembarkation-was narrow, and a hill
which commanded the whole, teemed almoil inac
ceflible. The enemy were ully aware of our in
Itention, were in force, and had every advantage
on their fide. The troops, however, notwith
ftanding their being expofed to a very revere can-
nonade, and under the fire of grape-(hot, made
good their landing, afcended the hill with an in-
trepidity fcarcely to be paralleled, and forced the
enemy to retire, leaving behind them feveral pieces
lof artillery and a number of horfes.
The troops that afcended the Hill were the 23d
Regiment and the four Flank Companies of the
aoth, under the command of Colonel SPENCER,
whofe coolnefs and good condua Major-General
Moons has mentioned to me in the higheft terms
of approbation. It is impoffible to pafs over the
good order in which the 28th and the 42d Regi.
ments landed, under the command of Brigadier-
General Wass, who was attached to the Referve
under Major-General MOOR I ; and the troops in
general loft not a moment in remedying any little
diforder which became unavoidable in a landing
under fuch circumftances. The difembarkation

of the army continued on that and the following
day.
The troops which landed on the Bth advanced
three miles the fame day ; and on the 1 ath the
whole army moved forward, and came within
fight of the enemy, who was formed on an advan-
tageous ridge, with his right to the canal of Alex.,
andria, and his left towards the fea.
It was determined to attack them on the morn-
ing of the 13th ; and in confequence the arm.y,
marched in two lines by the left, with an intention
to turn their right flank.
The troops had not been long in motion before
the enemy defcended from the heights on which
they were formed, and attacked the leading bri-
gades of both lines, which were commanded by
Major-General Caavocx, and Major-General the
Earl of CAVAN.
The 9oth regiment formed the advanced guard
of the front line, and the 92d that of the fecond;
both battalions fuffered conliderably, and behaved
in fuch a manner as to merit the praile both of
courage and difcipline. Major-General CILADOCE
immediately formed his brigade to meet the at-
tack made by the enemy ; and the troops changed
their pofition with a quicknefs and precifion which
did them the greatelt honour. The remainder of
the army followed fo good an example, and were
immediately in a fituauon not only to ace, but to
repel the enemy. The referve, under the com-
mand of Major-General Mooa x, which was on the
right, on the change of the pofition of the army,
moved on' in column, and covered the right flank.
The army continued to advance, pnfhing the ene-
my with the greateft vigour, and ultimately forced
them to put themfelves under theprotation of the
fortified heights which form the principal defence
of Alexandna.
It was intended to have attacked them in this
their halt pofition; for which purw)fe the referve
under the command of Major-General Mooar,
which had remained in column during the whole
of the day, was brought forward, and the fecond
line, under the command of Major-General Nor-
con altos marched to the left acrofs a part of the
lake Mariotis, with a view to attack the enemy on
both flanks r, but on reconnoitring their pofition,
and not being prepared to occupy at after itfliould
' be carried, prudence required that the troops who
had behaved fo bravely, and who were hill willing
to attempt any thing, however arduous, fliould
not be expofed to a certain lots, when the extent
of the advantage could not be afcertained. They
were therefore withdrawn, and now occupy a po-
fition with their right to the fea, and their left to
the canal of Alexandria and lake Mariotis,' about
a league from the town of Alexandria.
I have the greateft fatisfadion in Paying, that
the conduit of the Bridal and Foreign Troops un•
der my command is deferving of the h' hell ;suite;
their courage and their difcipline have been equally
confpicuous.
To all the General Officers I am indebted for
their zeal and intelligence.
From the Honourable Brigadier c. encral Hops,
Adjutant-General, and Lieutenant-COlunel As.
STILUTMiII, Quarter-Matter-General, I have re-
ceived every teltimony of zeal, a:.3 the molt able

atfiftanee ln the operations of the army ; and to
the other Officers of the General Staff, I feel obli-
gations.
On the Bth the arrangements made by Lord
KEITH, were fuch as to enable us to land at once
a body of fix thoufand men. . _

Thd Honourable Captain Coc H RAN E, and thofe
other Captains and Officers of the Royal Navy
who were entrufted with the difembarkation, not
Only of the troops, but of the arti4ery, ammuni-
tion, provirions, and Mores of all Wld., have ex-
erted themfelves in fuch a manner as to claim the
warmeft acknowledgements of the whole arruy.
Sir SION rr SMITH, and the other Captains and
Officers of the Navy under his command who land-
ed with the army, have been indefatigable in their
exertions in forwarding the fervice on which they
are employed.
The enemy have left a fmall garrifon in Abou•
kir Wile ; it has been neceffary to bring up a few
pieces of heavy artillery, and there is reafon to be-
lieve that it will fpeedilyfurrender.
Majors WKERRAS and FLETCHER of the Royal
Engineers, who went down in the Pre,' ELOPE fri-
gate to furvey the coaft of Egypt, a (port time
before we failed from Marmarice, were unfortu-
nately furprized in a fmall boat in Aboukir Bay ;
the former was killed, and the latter taken pri-
foner.

Onr communication with the fleet is at prefent
kept up by means of the Lake of Aboukir. We
have been fortunate enough to find water fufficient
for the fupply of the army ; and we begin to de-
rive fi)me fupplies from the country.
I have the honour to evlofe herewith returns of
the killed and wounded in the a6tions of the Bth
and t3th infiant, together with a return of the
artillery taken from the enemy on that:: days.
(Signed) RA. ABIRCROMIIIY.

Sir—My Difpatches of the aid ult. by the
SPIIDWSLL, will have acquainted you, for the
information of the Lords Commiffioners of the
Admiralty, that the Armament on that day quitted
the Harbour of Marmarice for this place, which
the whole Fleet reached on the ad inflant, the
Turkiffi gun-boats and kaicks excepted, all of which
bore up, by night, for Macri, Cyprus, and other
ports, during the prevalence of thong wefterly
gales that we encountered on the pall-age. Too
much of the day of our arrival here had elapfed,
before all the (hips could get to anchorage, to ad-
mit of the landing being effeEted before the ap-
proach of night ; and an unfortunate fuccellion of
th-ong northerly gales, attended by a heavy fwell,
rendered it impoffible to difembark before the Bth.
The neceffary preparations were made the preced-
ing evening. The boats began to receive the troops
at two o'clock in the morning, and at three the
fignal was made for thaproceeding to rendezvous
near the Mondovi, anchored about a gun-!hot from
the !bore, where it had been determined that they
were to be affembled and properly arranged : but
filch was the extent of the anchorage occupied by
lb large a fleet, and fo great the diftance of many
of them from any one given point, that it was not
tall nine the fignal could be made for the boats to
[advance towards the (bore. The whole line im-
mediately began to move with great celerity to-
wards the beach, between the Grade of Aboukir
and the entrance of the Sed, under thedireetion
of the Honourable Captain CoctitAlll, of his Ma-
(hip the Ajax, affifted by Captains 31-

behind the Smut-Hills, feemed to threaten them
with deltrudior:, while the Cattle of Aboukir
on the right' flank maintained a militant and
harraffing difcharge of large thot and thells ;
but the ardour of our officers and men was not

to be damped. No moment of hefitation inter-
vened. The beach was arrived at, a footing ob-
tained; the troops advanced, and the enemy forced
to relinquiffi all the advantageous pofitions which
they had held. The boats returned without delay
for the fecond divifion • and before the evening
the whole army, with few exceptions, was landed,-
with filch articles of provifions and ftom as re-
quired the molt immediate attention. I refer to

LAW INTPLLICZNCS:

COURT OF KlNfes RENCK MAY

COLLET V. LORD IBITII.
Mr. Guass argued this tare on the part of the
Plaintiff. It was an action of Trefpafs. The
Declaration confined of two counts, charging
the Noble Defendant with having feized and
taken a chip belonging to the Plaintiff (the Argo-
naut, at the Cape of Good Hope). There were
two ditlina, caufes of action—two trefpaffes com-
mitted, which were Rated in the declaration, and
thefe were two di (Una fubflantative complaints, for
each of which the Plaintiff might have maintained
an action. But in order to avoid the multiplicity of
faits, he had included both trefpaffes in one de-
claration. To which the Defendant had pleaded
at the general iliac Not Guilty, and then he had
pleaded feveral juttifications.
It was alledged in the Defendant's pleas, that
the fire and fecond trefpafs, Rated in the decla-
alaration as Min& trefpalfes, were one and the
fame trefpafs ; and therefore the Plaintiff had de-
murred to thefe pleas.
Mr. Gus!, in a very learned argument, endea-
voured to thew that by this mode of pleading the
Plaintiff could not have that advantage to which
he was in juftice entitled, as having two eaufes of
action, for if he admitted the Def'endant's pleas,
he mutt give up one of the caufes of action ; and
if he denied the pleas, he mutt prove both trcl-
pales, before he could recover even for one. So
that he was in a worfe fituation than if the gene-
ral iffue had been pleaded.
Mr. PARK role to argue the cafe, on the part
of the Noble Lod, but after form confideration,
it was agreed that this cafe fhould Rand over a fe-
cond time, in order to give the Learned Counfcl
an opportunity of confidering whether they would
amend the pleadings.

• •-•
MAY 0.---coLtrr V. LORD RRITH•
When this cafe was called on, Mr. PARR, of
Counfel for his Lordlhip,faid, they had confidered
what fell from the Court the other day ; and they
did not think it right, in a matter of fo much im-
portance, to bind Lord Keith by fuch pleas as had
been pleaded, and therefore, with the leave of
the Court, they would amend.
