as totally to prevent the second division from approaching the shore. The next morning, however, with infinite difficulty and risk they were landed; but finding my situation now from the increased height of the surf and ap. pearance of the weather, to be very precarious, both with respect to getting provisions or stores on shore, or having any communications with the transports, I determined at all hazards to force my way to the western side, where I could receive supplies from Aboukir Ray, at the same time resolving to attempt (in pissing) to get into the town with the small force I had, and push my way, if possible into the forts that commanded it, a matter I had reason to believe from Major Misset and others, would not be very difficult to accomplish

even

I therefore moved forward about eight o'clock in the evening of the 18th, and in our way palisadoed intrenchment, with a deep uitch in front of it, (that had been thrown up by the Turks, as a defence against the Mamelukes and Arabs on the western side) stretching from fort des Bains to lake Mareutis, strengthened by three batteries mounting 8 guns, exclusive of fort des Bains on its right flank moun ing 13 guns. This we effected with very little loss, though under a heav fire of cannon and musketry, and procecded within a few yards of Pompey's Gate, where we found the garrison prepared to receive us, the gate barricaded, and the walls lined with troops and armed inhabitants: this, added to the smallness of my force. (not exceeding one thousand men of all descriptions), led me to think the risk too great, and I determined to proceed to the Westward, as I had originally intended, where I arrived in the morning of the 19th, and took up my position on the ground the British troops occupred in the action of the 21st, immediately sending detachments to take possession of Aboukir Caste, and the cut between the Lakes Maadie and areo is, by which communication the reinforcement of Albanions was expected in Alexandria; in both these attempts we succeeded.

The next day, the 20th, I sent in (by a friendly Arab that had stolen out of town and joned us) a manifesto, addressed to the inhabitants, warning them of the danger of im plicating friends and foes, in the event of taking the place by assault, and urging them to force the governor to capitulate.

This had the desired effect; a flag of truce was sent out, and a capitulation (of which 1 herewith inclose a copy) was agreed to and signed. Although this service has fortunately not been of Long duration, yet from the scantiness of Our numbers, and scarcity of all sorts of supplies, as well military stores as provisions (which the boisterous state of the weather completely prevented our receiving); our situation was for some time rather critical; and I am happy to have it in my power to bear testimony to the patience and cheer

fulness with which the troops bore every privation, and the ardour and spirit they shewed in the attack of the enemy's works, as well as the inclination and the wish they displayed to have stormed the place,. had I deemed that step adviseable. To Major-Ge neral Wauchope, Brigadier-General Stuart, and Colonel Oswald, who landed with and accompanied me, I feel myself under great obligations for their exertions and assistance in carrying on the service; and I am much indebted to Lieutenant-Colonel Airey, acting deputy-adjutant-general, and Captain Green acting as deputy quarter-master-gene ral, for the great attention and zeal shewn by them in forwarding and executing the duties of their respective departments; and I think it but justice to Captain Pym, and to the of ficers and men of the detachment of the royal artillery, that was with me, to mention the very great zeal and alacrity which they die played on every oocasion, which I am confia dent would have been equally conspicuous on the part of Capt Burgoyne and the officers of the engineers, had circumstances permitted them to have acted.

To Captain Hallowell, and the officers and seamen of his Majesty's ship Tigre, I cannot sufficiently express my acknowledgments for the assistance they afforded me and for the readiness with which they stood forward on all occasions. Captain Hallowell landed and marched with me to the attack of the enemy's entrenchments and to the very gates of the city, and remained on shore until the place surrendered; from his advice and local knowledge I d rived much useful information. Captain Withers o: the royal navy, agent of transports, is also entitled to praise, for his activity in landing the troops, and for the exer tions he afterwards made for supplying them with provisions I send you herewith a return of the killed, wounded, and missing, together with returns of the prisoners made, and of the public stores of different descrip tions, found in the several batteries and magaI have the honour, to be, &c (Signed)

Consumption, that "giant malady," still continues to present itself the most prominent and conspicuous object within the circle of the Reporter's observation.

Several cases of scrophula have occurred during the last month. In scrophula, as allied to consumption, the writer of this article feels particularly interested. Nothing surely could be more irrational than what formerly was the general, and is now a too frequent practice in the treatment of this disease, It is a disease of debility, which is exhibited more obviously, and particularly in glandular obstruction. In such cases, the object ought to be to invigorate, and to excite the languid and enfeebled energies of the frame.

Purgatives that have been so commonly administered, are unequivocally improper. To give laxatives in order to give strength, is a kind of solecism, which trespasses beyond the ordinary limits of even medical absurdity.

Scrophula being regarded as an hereditary disease, is a subject of peculiar horor, and apprehension; and to be afflicted with it, is by many considered as an ignominious taint. But it ought to be understood and impressed, that there is no disease which is an inevitable inheritance; although there may be transmitted more than ordinary susceptibility to the operation of those agents which are

the will.

We are in more danger from ourselves than from our parents. There may be a morbid temper of body, as well as of mind coeval with the moment of our birth. But this, in each instance, may perhaps, by proper care and culture, be neutralized or resisted.

Those who start in life with a scanty fortune, or an indigent constitution, often gain an ultimate superiority in both over others who born with more robust stamina, have becu nursed in the lap of affluence, educated in prospects of prosperity, and in habits of inadvertence, or of luxurious and licentious dissipation.

Several cases have recently passed, under the eye of the Reporter, which consisted in the impaired and nearly exhausted vitality of a premature and arti ficial old age. Men seldom live out their legitimate lease of existence.

By profusely squandering the energies of youth, they leave no fund for the infirmity and imbecility of age. These, bankrupts in constitution can never, like commercial insolvents, be restored to their former condition. Every irregular gratification of appetite, or passion, produces a deleterious impression on the permanence and solidity of our frame. On this account it is, that veterans in vice, often appear to become virtuous in consequence of having lost a capacity for voluptuous indulgence.
