CONSTANTINOPLE, Augujl 10.
YESTERDAY the Porte received intelligence that
Kioftfo.Multaphi Pacha,. affifttd. Jby. the Anglo. Ru
ffian and Turkish fleets, had taken Aboukir and Roletta,
in Egypt* The allied fleets have now. opened a commu
nication in Egypt; the united troops arc marching against
Alexandria, and much appears to have been efterte.d to
wards conquering Egypt. Several lacks with ears of such
of the enemy as were killed ape arrived here. The Grand
Seignior has prefeotc cl the Tartar who brought this intelli
gence with a valuable pelice and a pennon for life.
‘Tills moment a ship arrived here from St. John d’Acrc,
having a number of Turk's on board who were wounded in
the battle of Aboukir. The troops of the united fleets,
and the other Turkish troops,’ amounted to 40,000 men.
To secure Aboukir, the bulwark of.Alexandria and Egypt,
the French had fuppl'.ed it with troops from Alexandria and ‘
other places. The battle of Aboukir, in which Sir Sidney
So.i:h commanded the Turks, was very obftiuate and bloo
dy, A great number fell on both Deles, and 15.00 French
were put to the (word.
‘I lie Captain Pacha, with his fleet, is still near t’ a Dar
cane IV. Several Rulliau ships of war have arrived in the
l-.lack lea with ammunition for the combined fleets. Some
ft rangers by. e been arrcftjd- heiffoas ipies for the French.

the I")uko of* York, with.the account of a battle A
taken place in HoHmid rn Thuritlay lafl, near
of Bergen, a little to the northward of Alkmaar.*
The Ruffians bad volunteered (forming the JFrench lines,
which ferviep they, marched forward to execgftf on Tlitirf
day morning. The battle*was long and bloody, but the
refnlt was favorable to the allied arms; 4000 Frerich and
Dutch are stated to have been taken prisoners, and a great
number “of both killed and .vv.ouftddft. Our lolk_was chiefly
wi th tl te- Hu ft h*ih, and-the re Mfem 4 General in- chief is stat
ed to have taft an arm, and to have remained a prisoner
wi ft he whole loss of the enemy is reported
to be about io,oco. These dispatches were brought to
ft armonth by the Resolution lugger, which left the Texel
on Sunday morning.

.On the 19th September the Ruffians attacked the French
and Batavian army. An artjon took place near the town
of Bergen. The Ruffians left 2000 dead on the field of
battle, and 2000 cl them were prisoners, with 2c pieces
cf cannon. The Batavian diviuons rivalled us in courage,
and did wonders, ft he National guards were ambitious to
take a part in the artion, and the volunteers*of Rotterdam
and ot Delft have pkrculai4y diftinguiftied themfelves.* “ :

September 30. Di(patches were yesterday received at
the Admiralty Office from ft r ice Admiral Mitelell, dated
from tlie Helder on. the 24th infiaiit. No accounts drive
reached town from the army, so tint it appears the pro
jected attack on the enemy’s lines was not-made on the
22f1, owing, probably to the rainy fcafoii; it is however
supposed to have been made before this time. A diversion
was intended to be made from the Zuydcr Zee, between
I-loome_ and* Am’fterdam.. .Vice Admiral Mitchell, with
bis flotilla,’ had taken Euckhuyfen, where he had been re
ceived with the greatest nianift-ftations of joy, and fome
— ll —i*p ie der Zee, the.number of which he
meant to mcreafe, in order more effertiially to cooperate

r |AL 1. Hamilton, agreeably to Sir Hyde Parker’s
, 0 !’ rk bei!,g ° iF the bwbor of Porto Gavello, on
t ie 24th of Cctobn*, turned his ship’s company upon deck,
and informed them that he thought with Audi gallant fel
lows as they had proved themselves on different bceafions
it would be possible to Cut out his Maiefty’s late ffiin FL-r
mione from the place she was then ly in* at ancho ?,
that he would put himlllf at their head, proofing to
make the attack that night. The officers and fluids com
pany gave Capt. Hamilton three clieers, and said they
would fellow him to a man. Accordingly that evening
the boats proceeded to the harbor, and, after overcoming
the guard beat, (which had a 24 pounder and 20 men)
and receiving the fire of the (hip's guns ami small arms,,
proceeded to board the vefiel, whose people were at their
quarters, and, after a refiftante from the quarter deck and
forecaftle of two hours, took poflefficn of them; the main
deck held out much longer, continuing to fire on our sail
ors, when the Spaniards were driven below, and it was
not until the vefiel was out of reach of the guns of the
fort that (he was entirely given up. Tlie lols on board
the Hcrmione amounted to 119 killed,'and 97 wounded,
mostly dangerous. Gapt. Hamilton, (who was firft on *
board the Hermione) Mr. Maxwell, (the Gunner) and
14 seamen, are wounded, none dangerously, on board the
Surprise. Capt. Hamilton font in prifoners, including
wounded, in an American veil'd.
Ihe Hcrmione lias 44 guns, had 392 men on board,
and was commanded by Don Raymond de Chullas; flie“
was- completely equipped far a crime, and intended to hare
failed in the course ot a few days, having all her provifi
011s, ammunition, &c. on board. Several of the mutineers
were on board, mod of whom fell in tbe artion.
The Hermione frigate has been taken into the service,
under the name of the Retaliation, and the command of
her given to Capt. S. P. l oidler, late cf hi* Majesty’s llup
Abergavenny.-
It gives us extreme pleasure to find that the Hon.
•’ fToufe of Aflembly have, in confequem:e of the meft gai
lant behavior of Capt. Hamilton, of the Surpnie frigate,
in cutting out the Hermione out of Porto Gavello, voted
the turn of 300 guineas to purehafe a I’word.
