Lord Mimic received on the 2 eth a cou-
rler extraordinary from Confaantinople.
The dispatches he has brought are dated
the 7th of June, at which time neither
the Sublime Port nor Lord Elgin had re-
ceived any intelligence from the Grand
Vizier, the captain Pacha, admiral Keith,
or gen. Hutchifop. Thus all that has
been reported Rejecting French fleet in
the Archipelago requires confirmation, as
well as the arrival of admiral Gantheaune
at Tripoli, or in Syria.
According to letters from Semlin, Palr-
wan Oglou has again ordered body of
troops TO march into Waliachia. They
immediately attacked arong detachment
OF the enemy, whom they routed and diff
period. The fame news is confirmed by
various letters.
Count Philip de Cobenszel, appointed
Imperial ambailador to Paris, has received
orders to repair to his poit without delay.
his former penGon amounted to 5000
forms, which he will fill receive. He
receives $4,000 as ambaAador, 5000 for
equiPage, and 1000 for the expences of
his journey.

Yeferday, after our paper was at prefs,
the public were grati6ed with demi Off
cial notice of pleafng intelligence having
been received from Egypt.
MIR. Hugden a domeitic Of lord Mimic,
brought accounts of meaenger having
paned through Vienna, who was the bear
er of difpatches from ConRantinople, con.
tanning an account of the furrender of Cal
70. Government gave full credit to the re-
port, having received fmilar intelligence
the preceding d7y from MIR. Frotre,
who hadgone OUT with fir Sidney Smith,
and was called back to this country by
1ome family concerns. He fated, tina.
news of the fall of Cairo had reached Con
tantinople before his departure. In con-
iequence the following notice was iiued
in the afternoon from the treafury :-.--
A melenger arrived this morning
from lord Mimic, at lord Hobart's office,
by whom we are informed, that the Grand
Seignior had received difpatches from the
Grand Vizier, containing an account of
the fall of Cairo, with 6ooo priloners.'
The note, and the grounds on whichit
refs, 70 far as the document goes, cannot
be miiunderfood but as miniaers have
not ftated who is the perfon underfood to
have forwarded the dispatches from Con-
itantinople, the public are left to decide in
the beft way they are able between two
reports, each Of which are aferted with e.
quail confidence,
Orc of thefe reports Hates, that the
mehenger who paGed through Vienna was
the bearer Of difpatches from Lord Elgin !;
the other, that the difpatches were from
MIR. Took, at ConRsntinople, for the In
aia Company. No mefengcr has arrived
from the former he may aill ccn1e. A
medenger did yesterday bring difpatches
from the latter, but we do not find that he
has brought any fuch account as has been
publiihed.
The public looked for ar extraordinary
gazette, TO clearup all difficulties, but they
look in vain. Our readers will be hap
Py 10 learn, however, that MIR. Took COM
municates to the India company a piece of

Yeferday afternoon arrived the mail
from Hamburger, which became due. The
intelligence from Coaitanslnoplc, through
Vienna, comes down to the 9TH of. luns.
but amounts to nothing. The letters
from, Italy give cireuntantial accounts Of

The confidence with which the MS OF
the iurrender of Cairo was at fri believed
is iomewhat diminilhed. Government
have had no advice Of fIch an evene from
lord Elgin and lord Mimic merely con.
graduates lord Hawkeibury upon the In
teiligence which MIR. Hugdon, tho Eail.
India Company's nsnenger; would brig
him o. the iurrender Of Cairo on the 10th
of June, after battle, in which the French
lott two thouiand killed and wounded, ard
TOUR thoufand taken prifoner.. Now ;e is
Certain that RIO fuch intelligence was bre't
by the melIenger and that the Eat} IN
dia Company's difpatch contains an ac-
count of the irge OF Cairo having been de-
tered on account of the plague. 1t is
probable that the allied armies in Egypt
mighr, liz confeqsence ofthe plague at Ca
iro, with to defer the fege; but the pre-
valence of 70 dreadful d,(order in 70 clo(c
and populous city would of COURT. in
duce the French either to rik battle in
order to extricate themfelves from iitua-
ton In which they would be cxpofed TO
the ravages offuch a fcourge, or would in
duee them to iurrender.
His Majefy's miniAers, we underitand,
are OF opinion, that battle has been foughe
and that it has been followed by the fur
render of CAIRO. 1t is clear that lord
Mimic believed fuch an event to have tax
en- place.
The official dilpatches from gen. Hut
