| FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, August 3.
The Hamburgh mail due yesterday, ar
rived this morning; a meflenger also ar
rived. The Constantinople account in
forms us, that the whole of the British
and Turkifli force, confifiing of General
Hutchinson’s army, the Cupr. Pacha’s,
and the Vizier’s, have joined near Cairo:
the amount of this force is stated a 42,000
men. Against such an enemy it is pofli
ble that Cairo can hold out long.
The accounts from the French and Fle
mifli coasts continue to talk of the great
military and naval preparations. At Bou
logne, Calais and Dunkirk, there are near
20,000 troops aflembled. But those ac
counts confefs that our crtiizers keep all
those ports in a state of Blockade, and form
a cordon from Calais to Havre.
We understand that dispatches were
received by government this morning
from Egypt; but their contents are not
important.
Constantinople , June 28.
The whole of the Turkifli and Englifli
force, which has formed a jundion against
the French at Cairo, is estimated at 42,000
men. A corps of Englifli, under Gene
ral Hutchinson, has likewise joined the
army of the Grand Vizier, and the corps
of the Captain Pacha.
Brussels , July 23.
In the negotiations for peace with
England, the firft Consul, it is understood,
infills especially on the restoration of the
Cape of Good Hope, and of the French
fliips taken by the Englifli at Toulon.
Thele points occasion much difficulty on
the part of the Englifli government.
August 5.
It was truly said, that the adive spirit
of Lord Nelson, not confining itfelf to
defenfive operations, would Attempt and
atchieve something bold and decisive.
On Saturday, as our readers know, Lord
Nelson failed from Deal in the Medusa
frigate, with a division of gun-boats and
boinb-veflels for the coal! of France. On
Sunday and Monday other divisions of
gun-boats followed, and the whole force
was colleded and concentrated before
Boulogne on Monday rtiorning. In the
evening his Lordfliip flood into Boulogne
Bay, and kept working on and off until
yesterday morning, w hen he determined
to commence the attack. It began, ac
cording to fonie accounts, between fix and
seven o’clock ; other accounts state, that
it began a quarter before The at
mosphere was so clear, that the bom
bardment was plainly ciifcernable from
Dover Heights, which were crouded with
thonfands of anxious fpedators—Some
gentlemen even went of from Deal to Do
ver in boats to fee the engagement more
nearly.
Our private letters, which will be found
to he extremely interesting, inform us,
that the firing was tremendous on both
sides. The French fe em to have expeded
an attack, and to have been prepared for
it. The gun-boats and bomb-vrffels were
it is said, stationed in two lines, flanked by
the batteries. As foor. as our ftjuadron
opened their fire, it was returned bom the
batteries and bomb-veflels. Till about
12 o’clock the engagement wasverv w arm.
The batteries then slackened their fire,
and about half past twelve were ti tally
silenced. The bomh-veffels, however,
continued to throw bombs till half past
five yesterday evening, when the firing
entirely ceased. At one time during the
bombardment, the town of Boulogne was
on fire in two places.
No officer is yet arrived from Lord
Nelson, and no official particulars had
reached the admiralty when this paper was
put to prets. It is reported, however, and
we are inclined to give credit to the ru
mour, that his Lordfliip succeeded in drf
troving mod of the gun-boats and bomb
velfels in the harbour.
The town of Boulogne is also said to
have been considerably damaged.
Some gun-vessels, which attempted to
get out of Calais yesterday morning, were
forced by one of our vessels to feck again
the flielter of their own harbour.
ENGAGEMENT AT BOULOGNE.
Dover, August 4.
Lord Nelson’s fleet is now bombarding
Boulogne, and has been seen engaged from
between fix and seven this morning; but
no vefiel having arrived we are ignorant
of the success of the attack. The atmos
phere is now very clear, and greatest part
of the fliips are now plainly to be seen
from the hills firing from the town arid
harbor, and the French batteries appear to
keep up a briik fire in return. Lord Nel
son fhifted his flag yesterday on board the
Nile lugger, to have the opportunity of
takh.g a nearer survey of the enemy’s
coast, previous to the attack.
Another letter—six o'clock.
Our town has been ail alive to day.—
Admiral Neifon began the attack on Bou
logne and the gun-boats about a quarter
before eight, and has continued the whole
day. Our surrounding hills are ali lined
with people, some thousands, and it being
a clear day, and wind at S. E. there could
not have been a better opportunity for the
action. I am now looking on. The
batteries kept up a heavy fire till about
12 o’clock. They now appear almost
silenced. The bombs kept throwing eve
ry ten minutes, but we do not perceive the
batteries to sire—some fay the French have
left them. There is no cutter coming
from them yet; but we expeft it every
hour. I fliouid not be surprised to fee
some of these boats, without Frenchmen,
in Dover harbor to-morrow morning.—
Several of our gentlemen are gone in open
boats to fee the bombardment; but cannot
return till after pofi. You may depend
on it, this day fettles the gun-boats at
Boulogne. Will give you the earliest in
telligence to-morrow.
Another Letter.
At seven o’clock this morning, Admi
ral Neifon attacked Boulogne, with the
squadron of fliips and bomb-vessels under
his command : the fire has been very tre
mendous the whole morning, from the
batteries as well as the fliips, so that the
coast has been in one continual cloud of
smoke, which we clearly saw from the
heights of Dover, where there were thou
sands of fpedtators looking with their
glafles.
Half pa/1 12 o'clock.
Four fliips, until now, have been to lee
ward, but have now worked up into Bou
logne Bay, and will soon be able to join
in the combat; where a molt tremendous
fire continues.
At this moment a single ship of war
makes its appearance out of the Downs,
and ltands towards the coast of France, as
we suppose to join the fight. We can ve
ry plainly fee the Admiral’s flag flying on
board his ship in Boulogne Roads at in
tervals between the clouds'of smoke. The
Nile lugger is continually going from ship
to ship, as we suppose, to give inftruftions
from the Admiral. The Collector and
Mr. Feftor, and several other gentlemen,
have gbne off in boats to lee the fight.
Half pa ft five.
I am come from the Heights, and the
firing seems to be entirely ceased, but the
fliips continue failing along the coast.
Jtucthcr Letter.
Early this morning the firing ofgnns
was heard, and at 7 o’clock a very briflt
engagement wasfeen from hence, of Bou
logne ; the hills have been croudcd with
fpe&ators all the day, and a contfant fir
ing has all the time continued.
Six o'clock.
It is now abated, but not any otter than
occular intelligence can we yet r-ceive.
The Hamburgh mail, due yefierday,
arrived this morning. Mr. /lunter, jun.
the Meflenger, also arrived. The differ
ences between Austria and Bavaria are not
to be fettled by the sword, but in the Bo
hemia Court of Fiefs.
August 7.
We received this morning the follow
ing copy of Lord Nelson’s address to his
squadron after the attack upon the flotilla
at Boulogne.
“ Medujapff Boulogne, August 5.
“ Lord N eifon has realon to be fatisfied
with the Captain of the bombs, for their
placing of the vessels; it was impoflible
that they could have been better (ituated,
and the artillery officers have shewn great
(kill in entirely disabling ten of the armed
vessels out of t wenty-fouroppofed to them,
and many others, Lord Nelion believes,
much damaged. The Commander in
Chief cannot avoid noting the great zeal
and desire to attack the enemy in a closer
and different combat, which manifefted
itfclf in all ranks of persons, and which
Lord Neifon would gladly have given full
scope to, had the attempt at this moment
been proper; but she officers and others
may reiv, that an early opportunity (hall
be given them for (hewing their judgment,
zeal and bravery. The hired and revenue
cutters kept under fail, and performed the
, dry entrusted to them with a great deal of
fkili.
(Signed)
“ NELSON & BRONTE.”
We do not understand that any detailed
difpmches have yet been received from
Lord Neifon; at least if any has been re
ceived, they have not been made public.
The accounts of his Lordship having
failed from Boulogne to attack some ether
French port, are incorrect.
Yesterday afternoon the fleet was again
Handing off and on Boulogne, and the
attack wr.s expected to be renewed la ft
night.
Oir loss has been very trifling. Two
ieamen on'y have been wounded, and
some of our rigging ha*' been cut. The
account which dated that the town of
Boulogne had been laid i/\ aflies is incor
rect. The French, however, had a great
many men killed or wounded on board
the different bomb-vessels and gun-boats.
The frigates, we understand, could not
get within gun-fliot of the enemy.
August 8.
Report dates, that Buonaparte had been
at Boulogne, in perfon.the day before the
bombardment, but had 4ft it in the coutrfe’
of the evening. *
August 13,
The Hamburgh Mail, which arrive®*
yederday afternoon, has brought no intei-I
ligence of importance; but letters received!
at the Foreign Office, from Lord Elgin at
Condantinople, announced to Govern
ment the surrender of Cairo to the com
bined forces. This information, which is
founded upon the authority of dispatches
transmitted by the Grand Vizier to the
Ottoman Porte, adds, that the enemy’s ar
my, composing the garrison of that capital,
and confiding of 600 men, French and
natives had been taken prisoners.
The fall of Cairo may be judly cofrG- 1
dered as the death blow of the army of the
Ead. The French had aflembled the whole
of their auxiliaries in that quarter; and
Alexandria, the only pod now left to them
either in Upper or Lower Egypt, unsup
ported by any diversion in the interior as
that country, and preffcd in every direction
by the entire drength which the allies can
bring together, cannot long hold out.
An Extraordinary Gazette, containing
the particulars of this important event, W a»
in the course of yederday evening eagerlv
expeCfed by the public; but no official
publication of that nature, will we under
dand, appear until the arrival of dispatches
from Gen. Hutchinson or Lord Keith.
The following Bulletin was ifTued from the
Foreign Office :
“A meflenger arrived this morning
from Lord Elgin, at Lord Hobart’s office,
by whom we are informed that the Grand
Seignior has received dispatches from the
Grand Vizier, containing an account of
the fall of Cairo, with 600 prisoners.”
It was alio reported that Alexandria had
fur rendered, but the rumour is premature.
Lord Elgin’s letters were brought from
Vianna by Mr. Hugden, one of Lord
Minto’s servants.
We have also the pleasure of dating the
capture, by Lord Keith’s croizers, of /even
French transports and a Xebec off Alex
andria, as they attempted to enter that port
with troops on board, and supplies of va
rious kinds for the garrison. This account
has brought by an overland dispatch re
ceived yesterday at the India House from
Bufl'orah, and is confirmed by Mr. Frotte,
a French emigrant, who has arrived in
town from Condantinople. M. Frotte is
brother to the Royal Chief in La Vendee,
who was (hot about a wear since, and has
served with Sir Sidney Smith, with whom
lie went out in the Tigre. He positively
alferts that Gantheaume had not landed
any troops on the coast of Africa. The
transports taken off Alexandria were pro
bably part of his convoy.
The death of the EleClor Maximilina
will, by the disposal of territories which he
has left, facilitate the execution of the plan
of secularizations and indemnities.
Lord Nelson arrived at Sheerness late
on Monday evening, in the Medusa fri
gate, and after anchoring in the Little
Nore, he failed the following afternoon
for the Downs.
The objea of his Lordship’s recent
operations has been the arrangement of the
naval force along the coast, which is placed
under his command for the defence of the
country. He has since his failing from
Margate, after the attack upon Boulogne,
infpeded the whole line of gun-boats and
floating batteries, and diretfted the whole
judicious and effective disposition of them,
as well as of the bombs and block-ships in
different points, fliould the enem* be rash
enough to attempt a defeent. %
Lord Nelson has fignified his intention
of fhifting his flag from the Medusa to the
Amazon frigate. The Amazon is one of the
fwifteft failers in the Britifti navy, and
draws less water than anv vcffel of the fame
dimensions. She is refitting at Sheerness,
and will immediately proceed to join his
Lord (hip in the Downs.
August 15.
Lord Nelson’s squadron on Thursday
night received a large supply of (hells, (hot
and ammunition, and would, it was sup
posed, renew the attack upon Boulogne
Bay, which they must have reached about
two o'clock vefierday afternoon. Each
(hip of war had a flat bottomed boat on
board.
The channel fleet is to he reinforced by
fix fail of the line from Port (month, in
consequence of a report that the French
fleet were preparing to (ail.
We had yesterday the fatisfa&ion* to
