PATRA frigate, received by the CUMBERLAND
Packet from Halifax, Rates, that the boats of that

Eland of Cuba, Tome Spanifh merchant veffels

Firft Lieutenant of the CLEOPATRA, and three
feamen were killed, and fix wounded, and about

The CLEOPATRA was alto very near being loft,

and after a running fight hating captured four
fail of the line.

This morning arrived the Hamburgh Mail,
due yefterday. A number of vague Reports are
found in fome of the letters, of adions having
taken place in Egypt on the 19th and syth
of March, which the date of the la(
Dif-
patches prove to be unworthy of any notice. In-
deed the private letters from our Army come
down two days later, and we know that fo late as
the Bth of April, nothing further had happened.
It appears, indeed, from tome of the private
letters from the officers. that General HVTCHIN.
sox fet out in perfon, on the 6th of April, to beat
up the French quarters at Rahmanie, and to get
polliffion of the navigation of the Nile. General
COOTs was left in command before Alexandria;
General Moots being Rill confined on board (hip
with his wound.
By deferters, General HurcHINSON learnt that%
on the sad of March, ME wou had again attempt-
ed to bring his army again( the Britith, but that
his men refuted to advance. He held a Council of
War, in confequence, and it was agreed, that, in
the then temper of his army, it would be impru-
dent to hazard an attack. This circumftance may
have induced General MITCHINSON to proceed
againfk the enemy on the 6th April, as above
Rated.

Lord Sr. Mises arrived at Copenhagen on

STATE PAPER.
Srocanotse, May B.—The following is the Im-
perial declaration, tmnfmitted to Admiral PARE la,
Commander of the Britifh fleet in the Baltic :
" By the d ceafe of his Majefly the Emperor
Pam. I. of glorious memory, the fceptre of the
Ruffian Empire has defcended, by right of birth.
into the hands of his Imperial Malay Atman-'
Dui. One of the fire events under the Govern-
ment of this Monarch, has been that be has at-.
cepted the offer which the Britifh Court had made
to his illuflrions predecefors, to terminate the di(.
putts which threatened the fpeedy breaking out
of a war, in the North of Europe. by an amicable
Convention. Faithful to the engagements which
he has entered into with the Courts of. Stockholm,
Derlin, and Copenhagen, his Imperial Majelly .

has fignified to them, his refolution not to aft but'
in conjunEtion with his Allies, in whatever may
concern the interefts of the Neutral Powers : His
IMPERIAL MAJESTY could not have expetfted that
the Britifh Court would have undertaken a hoftile
attack upon Denmark, at the very time when its
Envoy at Berlin was authorized anew to enter
into conference with the Ruffian Minifler refiding
there. The meafures taken by his,lstr mar. Me-
jssry were only a confequence of his with for
peace and welfare, and to avoid a dettrative
mif-
underftanding between the contending powers.
—The ads of liana), again ft Denmark, and the
arrival of an hoftile fleet would have fruftrated
his MAJESTY'S with to preferve peace, had not this
attack upon his Allies preceded the propofal made
by, his MAJESTY to the Court of London. But
as the Englith fleet had failed for the Sound be-
fore his MAJESTY afcended the throne,he will wait
the meafures of the Britith Court, when it fhall
be informed of that event.

" The underfigned General of Cavalry, and Mi-
niaer of State for Foreign Affairs, requires there_
fore, in the name of his Illuflrious Sovereign, that
the Admiral in Chief of the fleet of hisßorranatc
MAJESTY fhall defift from all further hoftilities
againft the flags of the three United Powers, till
his Excellency fhall have received further direc•
tions from his Sovereign ; otherwife, the Admi-
ral muff be perfonally refponfible for the conic-
quences that may enfue from the profccution of
the war. Though prepared to repel force by force,
his IMPERIAL MAJESTY perfifts in his pacific fen.
timents; but the juftice and moderation of the Ca-

binet of London mull enable him to reconcile the

demands of humanity, with the duties which he
owes to his crown, and the interells of his Allies.
