The Armorial Diftinftions, granted by Saturday's
Garette, to Generals BAIRD and STUART. will be ex-
tended to all the Knights of the Crefcent, as denntive
of the inflitution ; but thofe who are Peers or Knights
of his Majetly's oWn orders, will probably have no
new Patents of Knighthood, or grants of Supporters,

Two extra Ribbons of the Bath, it is alto Paid, are
defigned immediately for two other d:Ringuifhed Of-
ficers of the Egyptian expedition. We mention this
with fatisfaidion, and we (hall be happy to be able to
confirm our former intimation of a gracious inten-
tion on the part of his MAJLITT, to inflitute fome
further badge, wherewith to remunerate more gene-
rally the glories of this memorable fervice. If the
French Generals, after all the difgraces and humilia-
tions that their boaßed army of the EaR finally
fttf-
fered under the ehaßifement which they received
from Bririlh valour in Egypt, can Rill prefitme to
look back to their propels in that Country-11111 to
pretend to fame from the ftorming of mud villages,
the lawlefs rapine of their licentious foltfiery---the
violation of every frteial right ; and the unreel ng
wanton marfacre of thoufands of its unoffending Os-
feacelefs inhabitants, dignified with the name of vic-
tories ; how much higher ought we to raife the
column of triumph to nor b,ave, our intrepid
Countrymen, who, with half their number., expelled
them ignominimitly from this theatre of their ufu►pa-
lion, and never cattiest a tear or ugh to its inhabitants,
but at the moment our army bade them adieu

At about half paft eleven o'cl,rk night, a fire
was ditcovered in the two pair of a relpeflable tuba
bitant, the corner of Bithop's-court, near Lincoln's
Inn. It was occalioned by a candle catching she bed
furniture ; bat, as none of the family were gone to
bed, it was prevented by the great exertions of the
metier of the hook, and Mr. Cos. of the Ship, from
fpreading fertile- than the room in which it began.
As form as the alarm wa► given, the engine bal•nnting
to the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn, was bfr'llAht t••
the fpot, but there was ao ocelfloa for it to play.
