The squadron to be dispatched to the
Baltic Is 70 consist, II is~said, OF q sail.
Ministers seem determined TO dispute the
barren point Of honor with the Danish
Court. !,
Sir John Duckporih, We understand. is
gone 20 Yarmouth, to command the Acct
destined for the Baltic. There are FIVE sail
Of The tine at Yarmouth, which will this
day be joined by six ordered FROM Ports
mouth, under sir Samuel Hood.
"A number of pilots. we'll acquainted
with the North Sea add the Sound, are
ordered for service without a moments
los. Of time.
July is,
Government hasreceived dispatches from
Egypt, dated the Sta of May. They suf-
6cieDlly prove that the garbled accounts Of
our disasters formerly published by minis.
ters were highly exaggerated.
1t now turns out that the loss ia the sc
cond engagement before Rosetta, was $50
men, instead Of 400; which latter num-
Der was sent by ministers to the newspaper
offices in their pay, for the purpose of rails
ing ihe spirits of the people.
1t gives US much satisfaction also TO learn
that our couatrymen, who have fallen into
the hands of the Turks, have received
from them the kindess treatment. The
horror, therefore into which the No .Pobery
faction had thrown The country must now
IN a great degree subside; regret will be
sePa'aseu from discomfort, ADD the merits
OF the Egyptian expedition be calmly
weighed and decided ppoo.
The Morning Chronicle lays before its
readers the following letter from an officer
at Alexandria, 90 the su.hen,ici;y of which
they say the pabl;c may rely:
-Merandra, May 6.
Since our return to Alexandria, so far
from experiencing a famine, we have the
market Well supplied with sheep and some
oullocks; wheat and. barley are brought in
every day on camels some days a hundred
arrive, on others two hundred, and one day
four hundred came in. The troops and squad
ron have hltherto been supplied with mutton
and beef daily, which. rs you know, is not
reackoened necessary, and is therefore an indi-
cation OF plenty. The army has soft bread
every day, and it is confidently said the COM
missary has wheae for a months consumption.
All this is independent of the quantity of rice
which is said to be in the town, and which,
those who should be best informed on the SUBJ
Jest, assure me is abundant.
/" Besides all these stores, there is in the
merchants ships in the harbor a considerable
| Quantity of provisions, which we do not al
low to be exported. If however, the Turks
and Albanians march forward, we may have
10 depend upon our intercourse with the sea
! Tor support. In the mean while we have "a
gain opened the cut in the canal of Alexan-
dria TO Fill the Lake Mariotis, WHICH was dry
ing UP fast this will contribute to the health
of the garrison, and proven the enemy's ca
valry crossing over; and if they 60 round by
the desert and come in to the westward, we
shall be able to annoy them, and support our
lines with gun-boats, which we are fitting for
the purpose"
The above letter, if genuine, seems to in
innate thar proper measures might have pre-
vented that scarcity, In Alexandria, which gen.
Frazier states to haveoccasioned his dispatch
ing a force against Rosetta.
