LONDON* May 29.
Buonaparte, of date the 18th,
Vrites to the miniller of the in
terior, that in three day* a ll
would be over in Pied mom.
We may therefore foon expcft
important news from that quar
ter. General Melas, thus for
midably threatcried, muff jffeni
blc all his forces; and if he ha
not already taken Genoa, he
will probably be induced V'
abandon the enterprise for his
forces do not admit of being di
vided into two divifions, fuffi
cibnt both to cope with the ar
*ny of Buonaparte, and to
withfland the combined efforts
of Maflena and Souchet. To
this theatre of war, therefore,
every eye is dire&ed. The
events which it is about to exhi
bit involve the fortune of the
campaign and of the war.
The Monitcur Bates, that the
Auftrians are preparing to quit
the Grifons, and to retire info

alfcrrs, mufl foon be matters of

It is fair! that the corps of

for the Milanefe, and that Eng

WAR IN EGYPT.
A mod extraordinary and un
txpc&cd event has occurred in
this quarter fine* the date of the
report comraumcaied in our laft
retrofpeft ; and that is, that gen,
K'eberwho refided behind with
bis army, and did not accompa
nv the oncers that have already
Jeache’ Toulon, Iras had an en
gagement with the army of the
Grand Vizier, and a&uaiiy
jLughtc.ed tea thoufand of them
routed ail the reft, who
have ever fince been flying in
every poffioie direction. The
this unexpe&cd event
remains hkcwife, at prefent in
volved in much miltery ; but
this is alfo generally referred to'
the politics of Great-Britain.
The common report is, that on
the arrival of the French troops
at Alexandria, for embarkation,
they found the fort blocked up
by lord Keith, in conlcquence
of rhe convention of Sir Sydaey
bmitn not having been ratified
at home, All, therefore, that
Remained to be done was, to pro
hibit immediately the entrance
ol the Turkifh army into Cairo;
to retain polleflion ot the for s
not furrendcred ; and to hazaid
a general engagement. I hi was
piobably a rencounterthe I urks
as little cx petted as the French
ihemulvcs; and undilaplmcd
and unprepared as they were,
fh&UP whole armament, collected
at fuch an infinite expencc, and
requiring fuch a long period of
time for arrangement, has been
completely cut to pieces and all
Egypt once more become the
unrivalled polleflion of France.
There is another report, howe
ver, in the mail of yefterday
morning, that the engagement
was brought on in conlcquence
of the l urks having maflacred,
in cold blood, a large body of
french foldiers, and many of
their men of lettcis.
Authentic intelligence has
been received, that the Ruffian
ambaffador at our court, baron
Kahtlchef, had been recalled,
and that a Charge d* Affairs would
in the meanwhile, manage the
affairs of Ruffia. We have
learned at the lame time, chat
ncgociations for peace were
carrying on between Ruftia
and Fiance, at Berlin, under the
mediation of the court of Pruf
lia.
An Englifti courier has arriv
ed at Leghorn Lorn Egypt.
From Leghorn, Smyrna, and
other p.ates, we have now re
ceived confirmation of the war
in Egypt having recommenced
on the 17th and iSthof March,
and ot the dilcontented inhabi
tants joining gen. Klcber, who
had determined to maintain
himlelf in that country, fince
he had received intelligence of
Huonapaite’s being at the head
of the French government.
Extract ofa Utter from a per [on in
Ireland, to his brnihtr in Penn -
Jylvania dated April 21.
“ The fituation of this coun
try is very gloomy at prefent*
provifions ot eveiy kind are
higher than I ever remember
them, oat weal from 38 to 40
Ihiliings per hundred, and our
crops failed very much laft fea
fon. Yet I think there would
have been a fufficiency for the
inhabitants, with what little old
ftores remained in the country,
were it not for the immenle ar
my, the number of wh.ch now
in this country is altogether un
precedented ; it is thought not
lefs than two hundred thouland.
We have them billetted from
l*fo to fix in a houfe all over
did 1 country, which is a veiy
heavy Sax on us at this time ; 1
fincerely hope that the govern
ment of the U. S. may come to
lee the evil effetts and bad poli
cy of extenfive and permanent
military before it
is too late. Had lord North
landed 200,000 men in Ameri
ca in 1775, there s good tcaion
to believe »rne ica would not
n w be free, or an alvlum tor
tiii" untortunate of ail countries*
The Kufli,ns now landing beic
will certainly never return, but
they will no doubt murder of
our unfortunate countrymen an
equal numbfc-; the mifehief to
us will of courfe be gteatcr, as
our wives will become widows,
and our childien orphans, in
their ruined and oppteifed land,
England by keeping the
neufa] powers at war with
France, picvents our iucceedmg
as America did; Wc want a
Fr nkhn at Pans to create ano*
ther armed neutrality from bis
own great genius—indeed if
France is not faithful to Ireland
the fate of Scotland awaits J
our national pride which (ap
plied the want of liberty will no
longer diftinguifb us from the
helots of old, and the Ruffian
boors of the prefect; the dif
grace with which the fLnglifh
have been loading our country
and its name for ages, will from
the nccclfary effect of degrada
tion, become a juft objefct of ri*
diculc and reproach, and the
magnanimity and pride, the ge
nerofity and rourage which cha
racterized Irifhmcn, will in the
next generation be fupplantcd
by icrvility and obrequioufnefs,
the foidid love of pelf and a
baftard kind of valor which
irghts for pay or a mailer, m
