ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

" All our harmony and great intimacy with the
Turks, which, confidering all things, has been
really fingular during the campaign, has been
fatally interrupted within there few days by the
atrocious event of the afraffination of the BErs.—
What adds to the infamy of the circumftance, is
the perfidy with which it was attended, they hav-
ing breakfaftcd with and received prefents from
the CAPTAIN PACIiA, on the very day in which
they were murdered in his barge, into which they
had been invited by him, on a pretext of being con-
dtifted to pay a vifit of ceremony to the Ettgiifh
Generals at Alexandria. The jult indignation ter-
tified by the Commander in Chief, upon hearing of
this horrible aft, did infinite crcdit to his heart both
as a foldier and as a man : and his manly and ge-
nerous refolution to liberate the furviving Bets,
who had efcaped the general mafracre, as well as
all, the Mamelucks who were in the bands of the
Turks, and alto to reclaim the bodies of the mur-
dered Bays, was carried into died by General
STUART, (who was immediately ordered to march
to the Turkifh camp, at the head of a confiderable
force, for that purpofe) with his charafteriflic fpirit
and promptitude. IBRAHest Bay, and all the other
Beys of his party, were, we underftand, to have
been feized by the GRAND VIZIFR, at Cairo, on
the fame day, for the purpofe of fending them to
Conflantinople, to receive rewards and honours, as
was the pretext here; but, on receiving the Com-
mander in Chief's demand (which was immediately
difpatched) for their releafc, together with the no-
tice of his decifive and firm proceedings on the rub.
jeft &re, his Highnefs will no doubt deem it pru-
dent to comply with the requifition.
4, The unfortunate Ossi am, and the other afar-
finated Beys, whore bodies were reftored, were
buried with every military honour, near Alexan-
dria : they had each twelve or thirteen fabre or
dagger wounds. The reafon why the Rican made
a difficulty in reftoring the bodies (which he did)
was a with to fend their head: as trophies to Con-
fiantinople.—Perhaps it is not an incurious fad,
that a principal portion of the troops employed on
this occafion to enforce the Commander in Chief's
demands upon the PAC A, viz. the regiments of
Sruaar and DILLON, with the 13th, had been re-
viewed a very few days before, with great pomp,
by his Highnefs, and all the Turkifh Officers."

A melancholy accident happened yefterday in
the Borough : as Tome workmen were at work re-
pairing a houfe, part of the roof gave way, by
which one man had his leg broke, and another ma-
terially bruifed, but happily no lives were loft.
A (hocking accident happened yeflerday morn-
ing,at one of the new houfcs near Guildford-tireet
two carpenters were at work at the front of a houfe
in the balcony, which unfortunately gave way, and
the poor men fell into the area, by which one
had the misfortune to fraFturte-his lknll ; he wac
taken to the Middlefe: Hofpital, where, in frite
of every immediate afli►lance, he expired in a
few hours ; the other man, we hear, is likely to
do well.

For fomc time pall a number of Families of
great refpeelability near Mary-la-bonne, have difcm
vered that they were robbed of many valuable ar-
ticles. It naturally became an obeli of attention
to difcover the robbers, and by inquiries at the
(hops of diffetent pawnbrokers, it was found that
the daughter of arefpc,Erahle newfm•in had been
very active in pledging a variety of articles be.
longing to Colonel MARTIN. On Saturday night
the was examined :It Bow•flrect, and the Colonel
difcovered a difpofition not to pref the prosecu-
tion. In the cork of the craminati, n, however,
it appeared that the chamEter of the young wo-
man wasdepravt.d. The N7.4!,illtate accordingly,
in a moil humane manl,er, ntfer.td his influence to
get her into the Magiblen, and in aim mean time
he is to be prcperly ta4ea care of.
