LONDON Septemto-i- Extraft of a letter From Sir Sidney Smith to General Menon, Coroaiander in Chief of the French* army in Egypt, dated foppa, lid • June, ißco. "GEN mat-, " I received this evening the letter dated the soth June, which you have done me the ho nor to write me—At .the moment at which I expefled to fee General Kleber under the most fortunate a.id favorable aufpicies, ! learn with highest chagrin, ami with the greatest grftf, his tragical tath. (The letter will appear in full to-morrow.) Ssptember ». MafTena and Brune, are about to repair to Paris, where it appears thit the in Chief of all the armies it' the kep jb ic have atTembled, a circumrtance which is et itlejf fuf ficient to remove all idea of the refumpthn of "hoitilities. If : there were not other left oltenfi ble rtral'ons for this, it is erroneoofly luppofed t>y fonie, that the trifling tali in the Frsuch Funds was an antt paciiic lymptom. It is the natural consequence of the delay which the new turn that the negotiations have taken has pro ' duced, in their expeiteU iflue. We (hall in a few days fee the hopes of the public rife more ripidly than they hive fallen.

But tie French Consul may, how ever, console himfe'f with th« idea that his na tion is laved the exprnce of ftiip building, and the conlequent surrender of Ins navy to Bri •tiih valor, or in facrifice by Briti(h thunder. General Menon, if report may be trnlled t has ailually contributed to the death of Kieber, whose tate he affeiSls to deplore ; h»: a« Menon is now a MbfTilman, he perhaps considered if a religious dwty to destroy a Christian, though from thecrnduA of the French in Egyp , he had no reason to belive that any of them caald be entitled tn such an appella ion. among the prizes given hy Buonaparte for the encouragement of t< en<vy, there is no one so likely to be attended with beneficial effeita to t..t French, as that which ho'.ds out encou ragement to the men who c»n Oep a ho e under vater.

We find the following Jue de inot in the Far mer's Mufeun). In a London paper, the marriage of a Mils Fish to a Mr. Hook, is mentioned. The young lady had a for tune of £ and married her pafamour without S penny, by a neat scriptural allu sion, the London Editor remark that'the draft may well be called miraculous. But, adds, the Walpole Editor, we suppose t,he lady, biting at unbaited bo»k f mud be an odd Jisb indeed.

Yesterday afternoon a- countryman from Morris's River, contracted with an oyfterman to pay him fifty cents, if he would open as many oysters for him as he could eat —The oyfterman had opened nearly one hundred oysters, which the countryman devoured, when he willitd the countryman to give up the bargain ; but the countryman perlifted until he had eaten upwards of Three Hundred, ;to die great astonishment of the bye : fta;iders, arid the mortification of the ! poor oyftermati Who sincerely repented ' his bargain—The oyfterman then beg- I ged him to desist, hut the countryman persisted, laying he had not enough } , and he would 1110 ft probably have eaten the whole in the barrow,; but by the soli citations of the bye-danders, he let the oyfterman off and paid him the 50 cents.
