At a quarrer pas> 5 P. M. the squadron was enabled to m ke sail; and on nfthti nexr, the 20'b, came to arr an chor at 10 o’clock, near the Prince’s-l'dnnds, about 8 miles from Contn* ; nopV, when I dis parched captain Cabel, in the Endvmion. to anchor near the town, if the wind which was light, would permit the ship to stem the current, to convey the timbassador’ij dispatches to the sublime porte in the morning;, by a A lt'of truce ; but be found it impracticable to yet within four miles, and consequently anchor ed at half past eleven P. M. I have now the hiyhest satis faction to add, that the conduct of the officers and ship’s compa nies of ti e squadron under my command hastul'v supported the character of the British navy, 6e ■is deserving of tny warmest eu login m. Having endeavored to pay just tribute to those whose duty ne. cessavily called them into this service, I should lerl mystlf ve ry dt ficient if 1 omitted to men tion that his majesty's nunistei Mr. Arhuthnot, and lord Hurg hersh, (who had requested to take a cruize vviih me) were a iriotig the most animated in the con bat. To captainlilackwood, who, after the tin fortunate loss of the A j ix. volunteered to serve in the Royal George,great praise is due lor his able assistance in regulating the fire of the middle and lower detks ; and when the Is oval George anchored, he most readily offered his services to convey a message to the iindy rnion, of great moment, her pilot having refused to take charge ol the ship. Prom th nee he gave his assistance to a* range the land ing of the troops from .he 64* and setting her on fire huted, wtieie active service was to perform, there was his anxious desire to be placed. His officers, too, re quested to serve m the squadron, and their services in passing through the Dai dandles, met with approbation. I have the honor to be, Stc, (Signed) J. T. DUCK WOK l H.

Sir— it is with much sutisfac.. lion I have the honor to inform you, that, in the afternoon of the 20th curtcnt, the town ami for tress of Alexandria, surrendered to his majesty’s arms by capitu lation ; and that they were taken possession of on the memorable morning of the Si 1 at,by the troops under my command. Yon are already apprised of my having been detached on ifus service, with a body ot troops from Messina, by fits excellent. \ genetrd Fcx, under convoy e.t tiis msjesty’s ships 1 iger and A pollo , and the Vv s*: and sloop -as scot to: ward by* c.pt.

(he day after we sailed,) the Apdjo frigate, with nineteen transput* out of ihirtv-three which cor.vt. cdthe troops, parted compary, and hat the oiber fourteen, w’n the Tiger, came to an anchor t\ the west ward of Alexandria oi the 16th. Jk\ On onr getting near rhe land eve saw the Wizard, and captain I’almer immed'atelv b-ought me the intell'gence be had received from major Misset, together W'ih a letter from him, stating tbt b* bad not come off himself, thinking bis presence in Alexan dria absolutely necessarv- to e>unteract the intrigues of the French Conis, who was en eleavnuring to prevail upon the governor to admit a bod y of Al banian*, from Kosetfa to assist in the defence of the place. He earnestly recommended me to land the troops iinmetli a'tlv.as the inhabitant* wore well affected towards us, and that he had sanguine hopes we should be able to get possession of it without firing a shot. Before I determined, how ever,upon this measure, I deem ed it prudent to acquaint maj >r Missel with the verv diminished state o! mv force, and l therefore sent in my aid and * camp, captain A’Comtcl the 3lst regiment, wiiir a flag oftruce to him, with a detailed account of it, and at the same time, a m imfesto to the governor and inhabitants, (a copy of which 1 enclose,) which had not tile de-ited elfect, bu on the contrary, was treated by the governor \vi h contempt. The m■ jor, however, in teply, strongly urged mv immediately landing; repeated that we should not meet with any resistance, and that my doing so would be the oulv means of prevent ing the gar rif on being reinforced by he Al banians, wiio had actually been sent for, and might be expected in the course of twenty-four hours. These consideration* led me to follow his advice, and accord ingly l landed that evening (die 17tn) as many troops as our sun id number ot boats could convey, a few miles to the eastu.. lof Marabout, without opposition, though l could Oitiv take up a position for the night ; as before the next landing could be effect ed, buch a surf h.t ‘ arisen on the beach, as totally to prevent tire second divison from approaching the s..ore. The next morning, however, with infinite diHknlty and tisk .hey were landed; but finding im situation now. from the in* ci eased height 0 f surf and ap pearance of the weather,to be ve r> ptecanous, hotii with res-pect to gelling pi ovisti ns or s ores on shoie,o. having any cotnmuuica ttous with the trait-ports, 1 deter mined at ail hazard, to force tny waj to the western side, where i could receive supplies from /vbutiktr bay, at the same time resolving to attempt (in passing) to g t itt.o tire town, even wutr the Saudi force I had, and push my way , il possvbk, into the forts that commanded ir, a matter I h.id reason to believe from ma joi .Viisset anil otuers w">uld not oe very ciiliicui. to accomplish. 1 therefore moved forward a bout eight o’clock in the evening ot the 18th, and in our way for ced a pallisadocd imrenchment, with a dtep ditch in front of it, (that had been thrown up by the 1 u ks, as a defence against the Mamelukes and Arabs on the western sitie) stretching from lon Des bams u> lake Mareotis, sirengihcucd by thiee batteries, inouiitutg eight gun-, ix lusive ot foil Des dams on its light ii.it k, n.ouutir.g tht i teen gun i his elltoud with very lit tle loss, .hougn turner a vary Hea vy me oi camion aud n u.ketty, ai.t: pi occceitu \t t tun a tew > atcL oi .touijey’s kale, wuere we found the garrison prepared to receive us, the gate bamcadoed, and the wails lined with troops and armed inhabitants; this, a ded to the smallness of mv force, (not exceeding one thousand men of all descriptions,) led me tf> think the risk too great, and I determined to proceed to the westward, as I had originally in tended, where I arrived on the morning of the i9‘h, and took up mv position on the ground the British troops occupied in the action of the 21st, immediately sending detachments to take pos ses-ion of Ahoukir Castle, and the Cut between the lakes Mas die and Mareotis. bv which com munication the reinforcements of Albanians was expee'ed in Alex andria ; in both these attempts jve succeeded. The next day the 20th, I sent n (by a friendly Arab that had solen out of town, and joined ns) a Manifesto, addressed to the inhabitants, warning them of the danger of implicating friends and foes in ‘he event of taking the place by assault, ancl urging them to force tlu- governor to capitu late. This had the desired effect, a fi ig of truce was sent out and a Capitulation, (of which I here with inclose a copy) was agreed to and signed. Although this service has for tunaulv not been of long durati on ,* vet, from the scantiness of our numbers, and the scarcity of sill sorts of supplies, as well mili tary stores as provisions, (which the boisterous state of tnc wea ther completely prevrnttd our receiving) our situation was, for some time, rather critical ; and 1 am happy to have it in my po-wr to hear testimony to the patience and cheerfulness with which the troops bore every pit va ion, and the ardour and spirit they shewed in the at'ack ot the enemy’s work**, as well as the in clination and wish they display ed to have stormed the place,had I deemed that step advisable, To Major-Gen.
