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 Tyrol. Should this prove t»ue, the French, as the fame pape alfcrrs, mufl foon be matters of all fhc pa fifes leading to the Ty to I and Italy. It is fair! that the corps of Conde is to embark at Leghorn for the Milanefe, and that Eng land is to fend 20,000 troops under general If this intelligence, which comes from Fiankforr, be correbf, it explains (aAsfaftonly the delti- Uaiion of the troops lately fent to the Mediterranean. >.

June 4. 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.

It may be true that New- lerjty will continue to be [lrongly attached t the rnca fures of the federal adminiftratwn ; but the declarations that are made on thisjubjeft , and thep fmveman ner in which they are made are cauje of fufpicion , when we look at Jails and the jiate of the times New- Jer/ey, during the revolu tionary war y fought and (ujftred much in the glorious conhji.

They calumniated the French —they praifcd the Enghjk , they Jc ught every opportunity of affodat ing with Bnlijh agen 3, and corn menial fpeftators rejident in this country. The plain Jimpiicity of republican!fm was aefpfFd by ttiem y and they endeavoured to imprefs up on the people the idea that too much liberty would lead t 6 hcentioufnejs , that there ought to be ejiabhjhed a kind of political di[crimination of char abler—jhat it was necejfary to to hold in fubjedwn the iwmilh multitude, by a jianding army , by a fedition abl, by the pro/ecutwn of democratic printers , by calumnies agatnjl ike wtngs of 76, ana by nu merous other modes'uf diver /thing Jaltehooi, and producing effects by d teflabU mifrepre/entatiOas. buitheje plans of the anti-repubiv. an party wire carried too jaA ; thepe pie I. took the alarm in time ; int pubac fenUment ha * been roufed t < vigorous dFhon, and ‘he political Thermometer 1 4 » 15 fill rifing..
