LAST night the Turkish Ministry received important dispatches from the Pacha of Rhodes; they bring advice that several French frigates had arrived at that bl and, which had been seized by the Pacha, according tp the orders lately received from the Grand Signior. The Pacha has likewise tianfmitted the following intelligence: Tne Englilh Admiral Nelson having appeared unexpea edly ‘before the harbor of Alexandria found there the French fleet and immediately attacked it; the French Ad miral’s fliip, on board of which Buonaparte had bee*, took fire and was entirely consumed; the French frigates which escaped into the open sea were not aware that the Porte was inimical!v disposed towards France, and that hostilities had already commenced; they therefore came to anchor in ihe harbor of Rhodes and were immediately confifcated. From the Captains of these frigates the Pacha of Rhodes feceived the account of the deftrufUon of the French fleet, and the principal circumstance's of that event. The Porte immediately communicated this intelligence, by their in tepreter, to the foreign Ministers. This day the Englifli Minister, Sir Spencer Smith, received the confirmation of this account. * With relpecf to the army of Buonaparte we have re teived the following intelligence. It had for fome time maintained a portion between Rosetta and Cairo, but fud den'y retreated to Damietta. In the vicinity of this town the French were attacked by an army of 20,000 Arabs, the greater part cavalry, under the command of Muftapha Bey and two other Beys; an obstinate battle ensued; and the Arabs fay, in their account transmitted to the Pacha of Daniafcus, that they forced the enemy to retire with considerable lols, and that the French afterwards made a (land a few leagues from Damietta. Those accounts do not fay why Buonaparte at fit ft, in dead of advancing a gninfl the relidue of the Beys, should have retreated so soon; but this is aferibed partly to the numerous cavalry that covered the city of Cairo, partly to the inundation of the Nile, which at this time is at the highest, and partly to the difficulty which the French found in obtaining pro visions where so many of the roads were laid under water* The Porte has taken great offence at the invasion of Egypt by the French, and regards it as an aft of open hos tility; it confiders the projeft of Buonaparte as very de grading to its dignity, injurious to its government, and contrary both to tlie claims it has to Egvpt and the relati ons which long existed between it and the Beys, who go vern Egypt in its name. The French Charge d’Affaires, Citizen Ruffin, and all those in employment under him, have in consequence been put under arrest and confined to their houses; the French residents here have been forbidden to wear the national cockade in the streets and public places; they had indeed before laid alide the cockade, from fear of being ill treated by the populace, t who are violently in censed against the French. The French Charge d’Affaires, in consequence of an intimation from the Porte, has like w.fie been obliged to take down the insignia of the French Republic which he had put over the door of his hotel; simi lar orders have been sent to all the towns in which French Consuls 01 Vice Consuls reside, as the Porte fears attempts at revolutionary movements; particular orders have like wise been sent to Jiffy and Bucharest relative to the French Conrnls there, as the Porte believes a fufpicibits correspond ence is carried on there with fome Polish malecontents. Naples, Augujl 12. On the 3d inst. arrived in this port four Portuguese men of war; one of them mounts 120 guns, the second 66, the tlnrd 60, and the fourth is a fri gate; the iquadron is commanded by the Marquis tie NiiTa, and ordered to reinforce the fleet of Admiral Nelson, who arrived at Syracuse on the 21 ft of July, and failed from thence to Alexandria on the 26th, after he had been joined by several Enghlh men of war. His Sicilian Majesty a few nays lince drank coflee on board of one of the P6rtu guefe (nips, commanded by M. de Puyfegur, a French Emigrant. Vienna, September 5. It is now asserted that Prince Repnin will not have the command of the Ruffian army which is on its march, but that it will be given to Prince Ferdinand of vVurtemberg. The Adjutant General of his Imperial Majefty', Baron Vincent, has been sent to meet the Ruffian troops, and accompany them through the Aus trian hereditary states. At the lame time a considerable Ruffian corps, under the command of Field Marshal Su w arrow, will march into Turkey to restore tranquillity ther fy while another army of Ruffians, in conjunftion with tie iuvks, will be'employed against Buonaparte. Raj.e, September it. The inhabitants of the canton •i Ldenvald, determined to perftft in their refufal of tak ■king tr.e oaths, intrenched themselves in a very advantage ous lunation near Stantz, where on tlie 9th inst. they were attached by Gen. Schauenbourg with a large train of artil - Itry; one body of French crofted tlie lake and landed near Stantz. and'another marched over the mountains, by which roar,;-, the inturgents were furronnded; they however de fended themselves with the moft obstinate valor; at lerigtn v.\ e obliged to give way. and all their artillery, mm- fnimltluft, foil mt?> tlie liaiils the vigors; their loft is estimated at I*soo befttles wounded; the town of Santa was“afmoft wholly destroyed. Paris , September 14* By letters from Malta we are informed that Buonaparte disembarked at Alexandria on the 13th Meflidor, (July i ft) together with the whole of his army; that having there concluded a treaty of amity with tlie Arab Chiefs, be directed his columns along the Nile towards Cairo, which he entered at the head of his army on tlie sth Thenuklor, (July 23) and laftiy, that, mailer of all. Lower Egypt, he was proceeding on his march. By the fame letters we learn that die squadron of Ad miral Brileys, which had anchored on the coast of Beguie res, and was preparing to return to France, has been at tacked by tlie Englifli squadron, superior to ours both in the number and rank of the fliips; that on both tides the action was sustained with art obstinacy wholly Unexampled in hirtory; that during the action the French Admiral’s fliip was burnt; that two or three fliips were funk; that others, both Jtnglifh and French, were cart upon the coast, after having loft their marts; and finally, that fome other French (hips remained completely disabled oil the field of battle. We are tmeaiy refpedting their fate. . London , September 24. Capt. Kedtes, of the Boadicea frigate, who was left off Bast with a squadron of fliips of war, has sent advice to the Lords of the Admiralty by a of Mis fliip, that 9 large (hips had failed from Brest, (it is believed on the 16th inst.) of which one or two were of the lirte; they are supposed to be filled with troops for the iuvafion of Ireland. The last French papers fay that the Brest squadron is under the command of Admiral Morard de Gallies, and that therd is iio doubt <?f its being destined to acl against Ireland. September 27. The Dublin mails arrived yesterday, which brought letters and papers of the 20th inst. They bring the very curiofls intelligence, that on the morning of the 16th inst. the Fuench national brig Ana creon, having on board Gen. Rey and tlie notorious James Napper Tandy, Chef de Brigade, appeared off the little town and island of Rutland, on the northweftcoall of the county of Donnegal, a place so utterly unnoticed, except for its convenience to the herring fifliefy, as not to be de fended by a Angle folaier. . About $ o'clock tlie crew of the brig landed; they were far the moft part Iriftimen, and anxiously folicked information concerning tlie French army landed at Killala; nothing could equal their deje&ion* when they were told not only that the whole French force had been destroyed or captured, but that they had been joined by comparatively very few of their Irift. rebel friends. The Anacreon was laden with many Hand of arms to supply thole who should join the French army; but such was the caution or the terror of the country people that, as soon as the French appeared, they .retired to the moun tain St The refultof this expedition is thus stated in the Dublin Journal: “ Gen. Tandy endeavored, but with little success, to persuade the filhermen of Rutland that he and his friends came to deliver them from the if oppreflbrs; fome of these untaught men were so ignorant ae ta aik the General who those oppreflbrs Were. ‘ “ The General then iiTued two manifeftoes, in order to convey his meaning more explicitly to tlie inhabitants of Rutland; these manifeftoes, written and printed at Paris, had little or noefiedl; t!ie*fifhe'men continued unconvinced of their grievances, and the lotuitry people continued to hide in the mountains. “ Having made no more considerable progress in the course of Sunday than the fe’mre of fome iheep and (wine, which the French found in Rutland, Gen. Rey, Gen. Tan dy; Gen. Blackwell, and funky ether Generals who ac companied them, (for - it Ihou and feeiii that the Directory deemed it necelfary to fend an army of Generals to the deliverance of Irelarid) reembadted on board the Anacreon, out of which not one muiket had been and flood awav to the H. e.” Oft ober 2. The long expe&ed news is come at last; and, though not in a regular dispatch from Admiral Nelson, it is transmitted to us through a channel that admits of no doubt. Yesterday morning Capt. Sutton, of the Princi of Wales packet, which brought over the Hamburgh mail, arrived at the Secretary of State’s office, charged with a dispatch from Sir Morton Eden at Viennt, Which was delivered to him at Cruxliaven after the mail >vas on board. By this dispatch, which is dated the 15th of September last, we learn, that on the 3d ult. the Mfltine cutter, Capt. Capel, who was Ift or 2d Lieutenant of Admiral Nelson’s fliip, but fuice promoted to the rank of Matter and Commander, ar rived at Naples, with letters from the Admiral to Sir Wil liam Hamilton. ‘ These letters contained advice, that on the Ift of August our fleet attacked the ertemy ! s fliips near Rosetta, and his whole line of battle (consisting of 13 fail) w v as either funk, taken, or destroyed, excepting two fliips, which the Paris papers repiefent to have taken fl.elter, one in the island of Malta, the other in Corfu. This intelli gence was communicated by Sir William Hamilton, at Naples, to Sir Morton Eden, at Vienna, and was further corroborated by letters from Prince Belmonte, at 1 riefte, to the Neapolitan Minifler at Vienna. It is laid there was a number of troops on board tlie Freiich fleet, whom it was not thought neccffary to land at Alexandria. The Admiral’s fliip, of 120 guns, commanded by a Corftcan of the nanle of Calabianca, is burnt. A victory more glorious and more complete is not recorded in the an nals of our navy; nor has any of our naval triumphs been so likely to produce a general good influence throughout Europe. In this point of view we confider Admiral Nel son’s victory as more important than the mere capture or deftruclion of so many fliips. The Mediterranean is hence forth placed under the direction of the Brit.fh flag. Ihe Ruffian squadron has by this time palled the Dardanelles to cooperate with our fleet in after ting the liberty of that sea. Nothing can prevent the Turkish Government from em barking troops in any part of tlie Ottoman dominions to march against Buonaparte, who has advanced into an hos tile country, and is now entirely cut off from France, whence he cannot receive the leaf! succor. We cannot refill indulging in the fond hope that this General is on tlie point of terminating his brilliant but (iiort career in the &nds cf Maltd, Tliich was tft Cnfurfe to the flfttiolf the empire of the Levant, badly supplied with provisions, and blocked up by our squadrons, will probably soon bo refeued from the dominion of its new rulers. In fliort, the people of Italy, relieved from the dread which the su periority of their delpots in those seas naturally inspired, have onljy to join hand and heart in their operations by land to fliake off the galling yoke of tlie moft dreadful tyrantfc that ever lorded it over the world. Such is the brief (ketch of the immediate confequence* of this important victory; but its effe&s will not lie confined to Italy; the endless negotiations at Raftadt will alfo.fecl its influence. These yvho suppose that it will accelerate the conclusion of a general peace are grossly mistaken; the French Government cannot maintain itfelf but amidst the horrors of war; like the faiamatyler, it cannot exist but in the midst offi ame sytheru 1e rs of the French Republic stand in need of war to have a pretext for pursuing revolutionary nieafures against their enemies in the interior; they stand in need of war to balance, by fome ftlccefs in Germany or •Italy, the total defeat of their naval force in the Levant, as well as to employ their land troops, wliofe inaction might prove extitmely dangerous to the present rulers of the great nation. It is a-fad prognostic, yet an undoubted truth which events will soon confirm, that hostilities will ere long bes renewed on the continent; we sincerely hope with morn success than has hitherto attended the continental war a gainst France. It is not the least important part of the hc\vs received yesterday to know that Gen. Buonaparte’s dilpatches have been doubly intercepted. His firft dispatch, dated from Alexandria, on the Bth of July, was feut to France by ait <7s i/e, which was taken by a Turkish vcffel before the French bad time Fo throw the dispatches overboard; the second dftpatch was taken by Admiral Nelson’s cruifers* We have reason to believe that our Government is by this time in complete pofleffion of all tlie further proje&s of the French in Egypt* On Sunday afternoon Sir Sydney Smith again left tow* for Portfinouth, being appointed to a separate command* As we know that an Englifli officer is about to leave this country for Constantinople, to take the command of the Turkish fleet, we think it highly probable that Sir Sydney is the man. The French Directory are Arid to have made propofitirtn* to Russia and Austria to effedl tlie conquefl of the Turkish empire and divide it between the three nations. If this b acceded to the long projected revolution of Spain is to be achieved without delay by Gen. Angereau, whose head quarters are now at Perpignan, who is only waiting for the conclusion of peace with Germany to enter the Spanifli territory; Yesterday arrived a mail from Dublin, which we have the pleasure lb lay confirms the advices received on Sunday of the total defeat of the rebels in the nortuweu of Ireland. It appears that they were attacked on Sunday fe’nnightby ,Gen. Trench in the town of Killala, aud after a fliort coif (lift .completely routed. Tlie letters vary as to the number of rebels killed; feme estimate their loss at 3500 men, while others mention only 1000; the Wretched remnant, of their force (com manded by fome of the French officers left behind) surren dered at diferetion, and several of their Irifli leaders were immediately executed. The Billiop of Killala, so long a prisoner in the hand* of the rebels, has by. this event recovered his liberty; nearly 306 Protestants, who had been captured from time to time, have also been relcafed; these persons were continually in hazard of a general massacre, from which only the interfer ence of the French leaders could restrain the lavage Iriflt rebels; The Armagh regiment composed the greater part of the troops under Gen. Trench in the attack upon Killala. James Brup.h fen. ‘ r 6l versus Petition for Foreclosure. Robert H.
