The Captain Pacha who on leaving 
Joppa failed to Cyprus, accompanied by 
fir Sidney Smith, to obtain a fupply of 
provilions, has refumed his {tation oefore 
Alexandria, where he is to wait the ar- 
rival of the light veffels which afi in 
making diverfions along the coait. 
The Pacha of Romelia, known in Tur- 
key under the appellation of the ** Man of 
Terror’ (according to letters received by 
the laft Hamburgh mail) had made feverai 
attempts againft Pafwan Oglou, all of 
which proved abortive ; in a late engage- 
ment with Pafwan Oglou he was defeated, 
and forced to retreat as far as Sophia with 
his army, where he is now entrenching 
himfelf, and waiting for reinforcements. 
This intelligence caufed an extraordinary 
fitting of the Divan at Conftantinople, in 
which it was refolved to deprive Pafwan 
Oglou of all his dignities, and declare him 
one of the moft dangerous rebels againft 
_ the Porte, which was actually done on the 
following day, with the ufual Oriental 
ceremonies. The Grand Signior deter- 
mined at the fame time, no longer to op- 
pofe fingle corps to that rebel, but a nu- 
merous army, headed by an experienced 
general. Inthe fame fitting of the Divan, 
the moft vigorous continuation of the 
war in Egypt was refolved upon. 
RUSSIA. 
The conduét of the emperor Paul con- 
tinues to be extremely equivocal; for, 
while he is aflembling two large armies 
in Volhynia and Lithuania, amounting 
together te 130,000 men, apparently to 
fupport our ally the emperor of Germany 
in his renewed oppofition to the French, 
he had iffued from Riga an edi& laying 
an embargo on all Britifh property in 
Ruffia on account of the late detention of 
the Danifh convoy. The embargo pro- 
viforily laid on Englifh fhips in the Ruf 
fian ports is however fince taken off, in 
confequence of information being received, 
that the differences between Great Britain 
and Denmark are amicably fettled for the 
prefent. 
_A Roffian fleet of 25 fail of the line, 
and a proportionate number of frigates 
and cutters is fitting out at Peterfburgh to 
cruize in the Baltic.

GREAT-BRITAIN. 
The intelligence that Malta furrendered 
onthe sth of September to the Britifh force, 
under general Pigot and captain Martin, 
has, it appears, filled the Britifh minifters 
with joy and exultation. The troops that 
compofed the garrifou are prifoners of wary 
to be fent to Marfeilles, and not to ferve 
againft his Britannic Majefty, until ex- 
changed. The fhips, &c. that were in 
the poit of Malta remain the prize of the 
captors, tho’ we cbferve, that the French 
commandant endeavoured to include the 
latter in the capitulation. It is worthy of 
notice (as tending to fhew that the re. 
publicans had, by their conduct, rendered 
themfelves obnoxious to infult at leaft) 
that the republican general, Vaubois, 
thought it neceflary to ftipulate that none 
of the ifland fhould be fuffered to enter 
the town, till the French troops were em- 
barked, and out of fight of the port. 
Intelligence has arrived that captain 
W. Ricketts, off E] Corfo, in compliance 
with orders he received from admiral 
lord Keith, to deftroy the veflcls in the 
harbour, and make a proper example of 
the town of Cefenatifo had proceeded with 
his Majefty’s cutter, the Pigmy, off that 
port; but finding it impoffible to get with- 
in grape fhot of the mole was under the 
neceflity of deferring the attempt till the 
night of the 26th, when the boats of both 
veflels, under the orders of lieutenant Yeo, 
firft lieutenant of El'Corfo, proceeded to 
Cefenatifo, and foon after day-light he 
perceived them in poffeffion of the town, 
fuccefsfully maintaining a pofition again{t 
fome French troops in the neighbourhood ; 
but about eight, obferving a party of horfe 
in full {peed from Ceruia, he judged it 
prudent to call them immediately om board, 
though not before they had the fatisfac- 
tion of feeing that the gallantry of licute. — 
nant Yeo, aided by Mr. Douglas, matter 
~ of the Pigmy, had been crowned with 
the fulle& fuccefs, the veffels and har. 
bour, at that time, forming but one flame ; 
and that the intent of this enterprize might _ 
not be lof on the coaft, he fhortly after- 
wards fent a notice to the inhabitants of

of their municipality, in caufing to be ar- 
refted an officer with difpatches, had been
