Letters " ere received yesterday from AM
sterdam, to the 18th inst. which speak only
of the distressrs of the merchants. Let
tiers from Boraeaux TO the 9Th, have also
reached US. They state, we know not how
truly, that no French troops had passed that
way recently FOR the Peninsula.
It is perfectly correct, as we stated on a
former occasion, that government have de.
tanned all the Hamburgb. Bremen and Lu-
beck vessels. &c. in the British ports and
the reason they assigned yesterday to the
merchants, who have applied tor Informal
zion on the subject, is to be, the prevention
Of the French government from using the
seameu with which they are manned, in any
expedition agains, this country; as all the
accounts from France and Holland, indicate
that an expedition is in the contemplation

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct 2S
The intelligence of the checks which
have been suffered by Muclitar and Kus
chagalli Hall Pacha. on the Lower Danube,
as also of the surrender Of Rudshuck, Cur
geirs, Naopoli. and Sistow. has been receiv-
cd in his capital, and has produced SEN
sation the mere disgreeable, as these 'rever-
ses have much discouraged the other troops,
and as we now approach the season when
those from Asia are accustomed to quit
their standards, and return home to their
country.
The bad news from the army on the
Danube is in some sort recompensed by the
accounts from Egypt. Mahomed Ali Pa
cha, on the 22d of August, gained an i'm
portant victory, near Ascciut, over the rebel
Beys, and their allies the Arabs. He took
D great number of prisoners. II their bag
gage, great part oftheir artillery, and Oh
liged the remainder Of their army to fly in
disorder into the desert. Mahomed Ali af
forwards returned to Cairo, in which he
1nade his triumphal entry on the Sd of Sep
TENDER. He there found Courier, who
brought him rich presents from the Grand
Signior, and at the same time an order to
march with the Governors of Damascus and
St. John D'Acre against the Wechabites
1t is feared that this expedition may
suffer from tine ancient friendship of Ma
homed Ali for Jesse Pacha. who has been
lately deprived Of his government of Da-
mascus, and has taken refuge in Egypt
