Earn. at TitaveLutnit......The last Mail fit M Malta
brought accounts from several travellers, person Of
distinction, throui,i,h Syria, Egypt. and' the Oisteiati .'
Weeds/ some of 'which have reached our hands.
Ladylirtenta STAKHOPE hat taken up her residencit
at the Convent of Mar Elias. near Bayreuth. on the
Syrian coast. Her Ladyship's influence is consider.
able throughout the country; her patronage is seem ay.
She dues honour to English hospitality by her Main
net diking. and many of our scavans have, with* ,
the last y.o.r, skit her abode with sentiments of gear . :
titude and admiration. The Earl and Countess-of
BeLmoae, and the whole of their party were. at .
Cyprus, during the latter end of the suasmtr.-.6..
They then procee.led in his Lordship's yacht. to :
Balde, the ancient Sidon, on the coast of Syria,—
There, on their arrival, they found the Dragoman
of Lady fiance bras:weir waiting to conduct them
,to her ladyship's place of retidence, whither Lard and •
Lady BELMOAF, and the youths, then sons, (who
accompanied them throughout their extensive .and
varied j wrney,) the private tutor, physician, .and
others of their party proceeded. To visit Jerusalem
was the great object with which our travellers
reached the port of Sidon; but it was discovered !hat
'there was no harbotir in the entire coast of Syria.
sufficiently secure to protect a vessel from casualties
which might occur during the time necessarily spent
in a journey from the coast to the Holy City, and the
design was given up in consequence. Daring their
' stay in Syria, the Noble travellers employed them,
selves is geographical inquiries; and we understand,
they 'awned thernielves that the Bible contains a
heifer histriry of the country, with more geographical
distinctness and precision, than is to be found in ely
ether brok, descriptive of the Pagan countries of old.
From Sidon Lord Simmons and bis suite proceeded •
to Acre, not renowned tot any thing so mesh as for
the noble defence of it by Sir Stoney Saari. Fro=
the Syriac coast his Lordship set sail for Alexandria,
where the travellers remained for a fortnight; andt.,
from thence they all proceeded to Grand Caine. by
Egypt. where they were on the Stb of October last.
in this place they were waited for by a few pe*
tons. who_ are well known for scientific researches, .
who wfraready'to proceed ors a mission set on foes
by his Royal Hightims the Ynieca RIGINT, to eons.

'bade to ascend the Nile for scientific ea*.

by the mathematical apparatus. which Lord Simmons
?hid with him, more particularly for ascertaining the ' .
l'exact tatitude of places. 'llie expedition, it was celi-
iwulated ,would conclude about March ; atter.eithieft,
Lord Bstmone and his paeiry• were understood by
