Yefterday we received the Paris Jour-
mails of the oath infant. The Moniteur
of that date is filled with deGultory advice
from Egypt brought to France in fmall
brig from Alexandria, which it left on
the fourth of February. On the preced-
ing day two large frigates had arrived fate
at this port, laden with $4,000 ftand of
arms and ammunition and 500 troops,
OF whom 100 were artillery-men. The
colony of Egypt is of courle reprefented
as in the mott tlouriihing fate. No men,
ton is made of our expedition, or Of adj
miral Gantheaume's fquadron, which has
certainly failed direct for Alexandria;
and from the fate arrival of two French
frigates there, that port does not appear
to be fafely blockaded.
There continue to be great reioicings
i'll Paris on account of the peace but
the French funds are falling daily. The
tiers confoliders are now only sd IA.
The communication made on Friday
by M. Otto to the minilter for foreign al
fairs, in consequence of the wifhes ex-
prefied by his majeity's minilters to open
a negotiation with the French republic,
have been the fubje6t of feveral confer
ences. Our cabinet have lhewn an equal
promptitude with the government at the
Thuilleries in replyingto NJ. Otto's COM
munication, and feconyl difpatch was
forwarded on Saturday evening to Paris.
A flag oftruce failed yesterday morning
from Dover. 1t is faid that the general
bates of the negotiation will be iettled,
before any public miniGer is appointed on

On Saturday cabinet council was held,

Paris with this intelligence. They failed
from Dover on Sunday. Some weeks
mutt elapfe before the chief conful can
have an anfwer from ST. Petersburg, and
negotiation may perhaps be delayed till
that period. In the mean time, it is pro-
bable, that M. Otto and lord Hawkibury

however, anxiouny hope, that the mode

from coming to that extremity.

NETWORK, May 20.

Yefterday arrived, in 26 days from
London, the flip Suffolk, bringing papers
to the 18th of A pril incluiive.
The intelligence which they contain is
highly interefing. New and furprizing
changes again have taken place, which
will probably alter the whole face of Eu-
rope.
In the Baltic the Englifh feet under,
lord Mellon have achieved another fignal
victory. They entered Cattegat, and
pafled by the fortrels of Cronenburg be-
fore the eyes of his Danifh maiely, and
under the very batteries of Copenhagen,
Captured or Sink EIGHTEEN ships out
Of TWENT1- THREE that were ftati-
oned to oppofe them. The whole Navy
of Denmark, with the capital of the em-
pire thus fell into the hands of the Britifll.
Prince Charles of HeiTe-C aiiel, general
of the Danifh forces, previous to this event
had feized on Hamburg with $4,000
troops, and garrifoned that city.
In Rutia, change has taken place ia.
vourable to the Britiih. The emperor
Paul is dead-lome fay of the appoplexy
---others with greater probability fay poi
fon. The new emperor Alexander, has
already difcovered a difpoGtion to purdue
a different policy, and the Ruifian ambaf-
fador in England, who had retired from
London, is about to refume his functions.
This augurs a change in the cabinet of
Petersburg, and with the Danifh difalters,
will probably be fatal to the Northern
Confederacy.
A report was prevalent in London on
18th of April, that fir r. Abercrombie,
had defeated the French in Egypt and
that fir J. B. Warren, had taken 16 fail
of French tranlports.

PARIS. March 2s.

Citizen Coftaz is arrived from Egypt
in the AviGo lie Saint Philippe, which an
chored in the port of Freius on the 26th.
This veiIel failed from Alexandria onthe
18th February, and the preceding day, the
two frigates La Jultice Of Al guns, and
'PEgyptienne, CT so guns, arrived there
from France with 1000 muikets, 10000
bullets, and SOC picked men, of whom
100 were artillery of the line. The fri
gates put to fea from Toulon on the 25th
of January, 70 that they had paaage of
ten days only.
On the 4th Of February the plague had
not flown itfelf in Egypt, but continued
its ravages in the camp Of the Grand VII
zier.
De Coltaz, member of the ihRitute of
Egypt, in his letter to Buonaparte, dated
the 10th, on board the packet boat lie Saint
Philippe, gives long account ofthe fate
Of the French army in Egypt, from which
we extract the following palages:
-" The day before we failed from Alex
andria, the two frigates la JuAice and the
PEgyptienne entered that port, and i'm
mediately landed the detachments belong
ing to the artillery, and the other REIN
forcements which they brought. The
following day they proceeded into the old
port,for the purpole of more conveniently
difembarking the ammunition, arms, and
artillery.
Il" The army Of the EAT is in the NOT
flouriihing fate. The folders are armed
and clothed in hyperion ityle of magni-
fcence, that has excited the admiration
of the French lately arrived in Europe,
where it appears to me that the mott abb
furd ideas are entertained with refpeet to
our iituation in Egypt.
/" The mott perfect difcipline and good
order are obferved throughout all the
branches of the military department.
The holpitals are provided with every
thing neceGary for the fck, of which
was myielf an eye witnefs. The fenti-
ments of the army are truly patriotic, and
the folders are convinced that they al1
refPonGble to France for the prelervation
of Egypt, which they know they cannot
abandon without betraying their duty,
their glory, and the interelts of the llate.
There is, at prefent, no difficulty in
collecting the taxes, and fome villages
have demanded permilIion to pay them
freely, and without folicitation. Signal
potts are placed along the COATS, to ena-
bic our troops to tranfmit the earlieR
advices ofthe enemy's movements.
The army of the Grand Vizier is
ruined, 70 fatal has been the ravages of
the plague. 1t is alto in want ofthe means
of fubiiitence, as the Turks committed
the mott dreadful excefles and devaita-
tons on their way through Syria, and
that country can no longer furnifh them
with nece(iaries.
" We were chafed by an Englilh fri
gate and floop on leaving Alexandria,
but eicaped by uing our oars, as there
was very little wind, and the fea remark
ably calm. We were afterwards driven
by violent gale as far as Malta, but it
teems certain thatthe enemy has no cruz
ers off that illand."
