Extraft of a letter From Sir Sidney Smith to
General Menon, Coroaiander in Chief of
the French* army in Egypt, dated foppa, lid

"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.)

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.

The French Journalifti are, it Teems, very
angry, because the Ruffian Arabafladoi at Ber
lin ha 9 given c splendid lupper to Lord Cary»-
fort—Bat thcfe men should not be so much vex
ed at this repilt, Gnce it has afiordtd them a
Bone to Pick.
ft is rather unlucky for the French Consul,
that a« soon as i.e hat determined to tati sty
the will of tkc French People, by giving tbem
a Navy the woods ot Fr.nce fhuuld be det.rey
«dbv fire. 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. The Rog<>e9 tvlro aim at the hull will
£nd emp'oyment for them.

The Editor of the paper it con
fpicuons for his felicity in the art of pun
ning, a mode of exciting merriment, whieh,
though sometimes derided by the lofty fafti
dioufnefs of attic wit will be continued,
while men remember that Cicero and Swift,
did not disdain to play with words. 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.
