Accounts from Cairo fate, that the Porte is
extremely diicontented at the afcendency which
the Engliih have gained in Egypt, while it is
not lefs alarmed at the pretended projects OF
France refpeeting the Morea. The Euglih
conful at Cairo, NJ. de Miictto, changed his til
tie, and has taken that OF Charge d'Affares for
the Beys. The merchants of Alexandria had
become appreheniive LEFT the Engliih fhould
lend carlton into that place. The property of
Elf Bey is itated to have fallen into the hands
OF his enemies, and his whole family to have
been ruined, in coniequence of his alliance with
England.
Summary OF Events leading powerful Coalition a.

LONDON, June 4.
In the Gazette de France, we find the following
paragraph III regard To the demand made on Pruiis
respecting Emblem -
I" His Pruilian Majefy has, it is iaid, rejected the
proPoial of the French Government which required
permiiion to occupy Embden condition of indem-
nfyng the Pruian finances for the lois of the Cu!-
ton-houie aud other duties, which would necelarily
| reiu.t from the meaiure."
On this iubjea it may afford our readers fome a.
muiement to have the following particulars tated,
fone of which have before been given, but they are
worth bringing to recollection
Immediately after the violation of the neutrality of
the German Empire, by the nvaGon of Hanover, in
May 1908, Bonaparte negotiated with Pruia con-
cerng the occupation OF Embden, during the prefert
war = and offered, ecurity for its future evac,-
, alton, the Fort and Town of Hanlen, i'll Hanover,
with yearly pecuniary indemnity of twenty thouand
Pruian Louis-d'ors. This is of the many plans
OF the Uiurper exclude from all continental trade
and connections; becaue, at the fame time, he ne
gociaed with Denmark for the occupation of the coat
IN Holfein and Jutland, and for the Fort and Town
OF Helingoer, which command the entrance Of the
Baltic by commanding the Sound with Sweden
and Mecklenburgh, he intrigued for garrfoninr
Swedifh Pomerana, and the fea ports on the Bal
TIC belonging to the Duke of Mecklenburg, offer
ing all thefe fates pecuniary territorial in
IDENTITIES at the exPence of the plaged and oppree
Hanover. While this going on in the north OF
Europe, Auitra aiked to give up during the war;
Venice and riee, and to occupy, in return, ecuri-
| ty Mantua and Peichera. Any perfon looking upon
the map OF Europe will fee, that had our arocious e.
ncny iucceeded in his plan from the Ruan frontiers
on the Baltic to the Turkilh on the Mediterranean
not Continental rapport would have been open to us
-becauie, IN that cafe money would have injured
the neutrality of Spain and Portugal; and Gotten
ourgh IN Sweden, well Stettn in Prufia Pomera-
| MIA, would have been Gut aganR our commerce.
Surprned that other State epouied his hatred a.
gant this country, Bonaparte changed his plan of mi
tary occupation into that of an armed neutrality in
to which Rufia, Sweden, and Denmark, in the North
and Turkey, Auifria, Naples, and Spain, in the
South, were invited to enter. Again disappointed,
fuceeeded negotiations the territory Of neutral
Germany was again nvadedby the occupation of Mep-
pen, which excluded all trade between Embden and
the interior OF Germany, whil, the other hand the
French army ftationed in Holland and in Germany, in
Switzerland and in Italy augmented and the do
minions of Auria we'll as thoie of Turkey menac-
ed In Holland and in Germany, in Switzerland and
in Italy, every where theFrench frontiers depots
goods weie irized and the merchants OF thoe
countries were ruined but Brtih fubje9 fufferer
becaufe they were already paid or had fecurty for
den Venice, TFieif. This iniolent and inlpolitic
condu6, began, at laf is lad, to alarm the King oil
Pruiiia. Haugwitz digraced, and it is even al
erted, that overtures then made by the Court oil
Berlin to thoie of Vienna and St. Peterburgh for u
hitting in defenive meafures agant the foreigner who
tyrannized over France, and dared, oppreGed all
other ftates A treaty of defenve alliance had pre-
vioufy been agreed to between Rullia, Sweden and
Denmark, which late may perhaps change
to an offenfive treaty with England and, ,hould new
league be formed, is improbable, and almo impoai-
BILE that Auttria, Prufa can long preierve a
neutrality 10 often violated by Bonaparte.
