Alexandria Advertiser And Commercial Intelligencer

Capt. Johnson, who arrived at N. York in the brig Fox, on Monday last, informs that he left St. Maloes on the 5th August, at which time, above 100 gunboats, two cutter brigs, and two 44 gun frigates completely manned and victualled, were waiting at St. Maloes to be employed on the projected expedition. It was reported there, that admiral Gantheaume had captured one English 74. and a fleet of about 20 merchant vessels with stores destined for the British army in Egypt; and that he had succeeded in landing troops at a short distance from Alexandria. The officers and crew of the Jason, captain Johnson says, were preserved when that frigate was wrecked near St. Maloes: the pilot perished.
