EVACUATION OF EGYPT.

MALTA MARCA 28. .
" We arrived here lea night from Alexandria,
after a patrage of fixteen days. Several tranfporta
came there in the month of January, for the put.-
pole of taking away the troops; but it was not
until the beginning of February that there veffels
were ordered to be in readinefs to receive them.—
On the 2 tft of that month, all the tick of the dif-
ferent regiments were fent on board the Duchefs of
Rutland tranfporty which was made an hofpital
!nip. The embarkation of the Tea of the troops
took place between the 'Rand the 12th of March.
" Our departure was delayed, I believe, princi-
pally by certain arrangements which General
Srawaar had been making with the Turks and the
Mamelukes. The General's Aid-duCamp went
to Cairo, in order to fettle for all the ordnance,
and returned without bringing the bufinefs to a
conclufion. The Turks were required to give the
rum of ioo,oool. which was one half lets than the
real value of it. Before we failed, however, two
TurkithOfficers came to Alexandria, and agreed to
purchafe the ordnance. In the middle of February,
the General went to the camp of the Mamelukes,
about fifteen miles beyond Damanhour, where he
found them in the moll wretched condition that
can be imagined. They were in want of money,
tents, and almoft every other neceffary. Befides
this the moll violent diffentions tidied between
their Beys, of whom there were three at the time
in the camp, who would not fpeak to each other.
But the General, by his addrefs and conciliating
manners, reconciled, and made them good friends,
before he left the place. One of theft, Mahommed
Alphy Bey, expreffed a ftrong with to go to Eng-
land ; and for that purpofe he came to Alexandria
a few days after, accompanied by twelve Mame-
lukes ; he embarked on board a Ragufan veffel,
and is arrived here with the fleet. It is raid he
means to folicit the proteftion of his BILITTaII 10
Martyry. He is the richeß of all the Beys, but
not the Shia J Bella. or Chief Bey.
" Another difficulty fill remained to be fettled
before we took our departure. It was difcovered
that the Turks had a long lift of unfortunate inha-
bitants at Alexandria, who were to fall vielims to
their rapacity and revenge. I was myfelf informed
of this circumtlance, by a C.briftian who had re-
ceived a private intimation to fly from the place.
General Srawarr, however, before he failed, en-
tered into fome Ilipulations with the Pacba, for the
purpofe of enfuring the fafety of the inhabitants.
" Oa the i ith of March, the General embarked
on board the Anion, accompained by the Pacba,
the Pedrona Bey, the Captain Pacha, &e. and was
fanned by all the Turkith forts, and men of war.
The falute was immediately returned by the Eng-
ha, and repeated the next day, after the fleet had
trotted the bar. The following is a lift of all the
(hips which failed from Alexandria on the tath,
together with the number of men in each, and the
regiments they belong to:

The Narcif Ns, Deputy Adjutant-General

" Betides the above, there was the (tip in which
the Bey Alphy failed, and a Turkith nail, that
was made a peft.thip, in cafe the plague thould
break out among any of the troops. Before we
failed, two perfons on board the Janus tranfport,
in which were 220 of Wattewille'sregiment caught
the plague, as did afro one perfon in the Major,
which bad fifty men on board. Tbefe veffels were
confequendy left behind, and Mr. Wsaa, the
tillant-infpedor, volunteered his fervices to re-
main with them until the difeafe is at an end. For
a confiderable time before we embarked, very few
cafes of the plague occurred at Alexandria. The
only Officers who caught it this year were, Capt.
Gairow, of the Royal Artillery, and Mr. Dear,
of the loth regiment of foot. The former unfor-
tunately fella vielim to it in the beginning of Fe-
bruary, and died very much regretted by all who
knew him. Mr. Deer recovered. Although no
cafe of plague has occurred throughout the whole
of the fleet that failed from Egypt. yet the !hips
that remain here are to perform quarantine for
35 days. This unufual length of time is, I am
told, owing to letters received from Naples and
Meffir.a, complaining of the want of (friends of
the Maltefe with reipell to quarantine. Of the
whole army that has arrived at this place. there
are but 3 t men in the hofpital-thip. and only one
of there is confined to his bed. The reR are al-
moft well.
" The dill and Wattewille's regiment are to
remain here. It is raid, the others are deftined for
England and Gibraltar. The Turks are now be-
ginning to difcipline their foldiers after the Englia;
manner. Captain Harr,, of the engineer depart
ment, has been left behind with them in Egypt;
and Major Mrssrr. General Svawatr's Aid-du-
Camp, is (ill them arranging feth Whirs as mei il
kit tank ttird."

On the 7th of this month the Mars failed from
Havre for Cape Francois, having on board land
troops.

We announce& according to feveral journals,
that General liocuaressau was recalled from St.
Domingo. There is reafon to believe that this
intelligence is falfe, and that General Ro CHAN
asau will retain the command of the army of St.
Darning°. We think ourfelves authorifed to alert
alto, that the Colony has experienced a great
change, refpeaing which we have not information
fufficiently authentic to enable us to give a more
prccife idea.—La Clef du Celina.
May 12.—h was the day before yefterday,
Tuefday, at two in the afternoon, that the Eng-
in An.baffador communicated to the Miniller of
Foreign Affairs the anfwer to the lilt propofitions
of our Government, which were brought to him
the preceding evening by a bieffenger from his
Court. We are affured, that the Ambaflador had
orders to fet out in thirty-fix hours after the official
delivery of this document, in cafe the articles it
contained were not complied with. The Cuter
CONSUL, it is Paid, when he received it from the
hands of the Minifter for Foreign Affairs, declared
that he found in it contradiaory demands, adding
that he never gave an exttespore anfwer to a piece
of that kind, and that he would take the necelTary
time for giving it. This evening, Thurfilay, at a
quarter pea ten, the Ambafidor fet out.—Garere
