Private letters from ConRantinople Of
the 9th OF Auguf, fate, that according
TO the laft accounts which had reached that
place, nothing of the Leaf importance had
been done towards the reduction of Alex.
andria. Menou had been iecond time
iummoned to lurrender; but he wholly
difresarded the notification, except by re-
turning pohtive refufal TO accede TO the
propofed terms of equalization, and by re.
peating his unalterable relolution to defend
the place to the laf extremity. The
hopes of the final triumph of the allied ar
mics III this CONTEXT are itrongly expreatd
in thele letters, and the arrival of few
thoufand men TO reinforce Menou's fcanty
number of troops, initead of being a mean;
of protratting the campaign, is viewed as
the very circumitance which would CON-
pei the French commander to agree to an
immediate iurrendcr. The army of the
late Mourad Bey, now under The command
OF Gilman Bey, has, it appears, made a &C.
neral iubmiilion, and is now wholly united
10 the Allied Forces. The French priion-
ers who have been for comfortable tine
confined in different csftles of the Black
Sea, have been lately recalled by tetman,
for the purpole of being exchanged, and
they arrived about the beginning OF Au.
gua in Conhantinople. 1t is fuppoed
that thefe Priioners will Immediately be
ient to Toulon, and that an equal number
Of Turks will be returned, who may have
been taken priioners by thc French in F.
gypt. The noted Jean Bon ST. Andre is
among the number Of theie priioners, and
it is faid that neither his health nor ipirlts
have been at all impaired by his long i'm.
prilonment.
