Advices from Conftantinople dated the 24th Florcal, (April 14] (late that a Britiffi fquadron hadappeared before Alexandria, the commander of which de clared that he had orders to Hop all vcffcls that might iffue from that port. Yefterdaythe Spanifh ambaf fador communicated officially to government a difpatch he had juft received from Vienna. The fubjetl of it was, that the diffi culties darted by the allies to the execution of the convention of the Brh Pluvoife, had obliged the army of Egypt to purfue a conduft analogous to circum ftances. The Ottoman' Porte ought to have congratulated itfelf on the treaty of Egypt; by this treaty the invafion of the French had turned out advantageous to the Sultan. We had fubdued for him the Mamelukes; we had recovered for him an important part of his dates, where his au thority had long been difowned. The obftacles which the Fn glidi oppofed to the execution of the capitulation, could not but be likely to become fatal to the Turkiffi Empire, Kleber has already beat the army of the Grand Vizier, who wiftifd to take polTeflion of Cairo, before he had furuiffied the French army with the ftipu lated paffports ; and if we take a view of the prefent date of Turkey, and the different cir cumliauces which have attend ed the expedition to Egypt, we ffall be lei’s alarmed for the fitu ation of the French in that coun try. fhe army of the Grand Vi iler d d not reach Damafcus till alter a march of eight months, paflage through Syria, and anival at Damafcus were a continued feene of defolation 2nd diforder. Jnfurredlion, de *crt*°n, pillage, heads cut off in cam P» as well as in towns and other parts of the country, are ait faCh atteded by eye witneff- J. 1, The Vizier having fallen c * in a convent of dervifes, it m his head before the cap * u * e of El Arifch, that to fecure ,rr > elf from Buonaparte, whom e w as about to attack, he could Dof do(o but by building a wall r °‘ d the defart.

Dgezzar had like wife fent him his refignation of the Bachalic of Damafcus. and forbidden all the diftribls fub je£l to his authority to furnifh provifions to his army. The imperial army, eftimated at 36 000 men, was incumbered with a third more of feivants or women, who could not crofs the defart but by tranfportirg water, provifions, and fodder, on ca mels, to flarve and annihilate the army. Ten thoufand men would have cut to pieces the Ottoman troops, the difcipline of which was wirtchcd beyond all defenp tioh—there not being in it a fingk corps capable ofmarae uvring nor a 'f uikidi officer who had the lead notion of the mod common military evolu tions. Such are adverfaries with whom general Richer will have to contend. It is probable that he will execute what Buona pme Teems to have projected. If the latter had taken St. John of Acre, and the treafures of Dgezzar, it would have been eafy for him to induce all the people of Lebanon to rife in his favour, as well as all the Afiatic provinces, ana to carry his vic torious arms to Conftantinoplc. MILAN, May i. General Melas , on fummoning Maf fenat. to /urrender the city of Genoa , wrote to him in the fol lowing terms: 4i General, “ Fortune has not crowned your bravery, which entitles you to my edeem, and to that of the whole world. With but a (mail number of men, you was forced to give way to my exertions, and you did it with honor. But I think it time to liften to the voire of humanity. General *>uchct has yefterday been de feated at St. Giacomo, and you have no longer any hopes to refill my forces. You will be accountable for the blood that ffiall be fpilt hereafter, and you wid complete the miferies of a people who have already differ ed lo much. “ Ihe city is expofed to the greated calamities ; it is menaced by pillage and all the horrors of war, if the country people diould enter it with fury m their heart, without a capitulation having previouftv been concluded. I cannot entirely anfwci fo. my vi6loi>ibus troops. Liften to the voicr of humanity, and fa crafice the glory of having de fended youTelf to the la(t drop of blood, to the true rlory and to the admiration of which no one will then deny you. 1 of fer you an honorable capsula tion whirh a warrior of your rha ra£ler merits, to prove to you the edeem and the mod prrfe6l refped with which 1 am, &c.” THE ANSWER.
