GREENOCK, June 23.

Extract of a letter received in Greenock, dated on board the Argo, at Spithead, June 17.

"I have now the satisfaction to acquaint you of our arrival here, after a round turn of six months, last from Cadiz, with a freight of five hundred thousand dollars, on account of merchants in London. You will no doubt be surprised to hear of Elfy Bey's fate, after all the expense and attention cast away upon him at home. Having landed himself and suite on the 14th of February, at Rosetta, mouth of the Nile, to proceed up to Cairo, and in daily expectation of hearing of his arrival there, as also the receipt of the presents to be sent home, we were astonished to hear of his being pursued by some of the other Beys (and Albanian soldiers lately revolted from the Pacha of Alexandria) and very near losing his head, but effected his escape to a shrab encampment, by scattering some loose jewels that he had about his person among the soldiers, which took up the Barbarian's attention, long enough to serve his purpose --The last intelligence we heard of him, before we sailed from Alexandria was, that five or six Beys were in pursuit of him in the Desert, and little hopes being entertained of his being able long to conceal himself from their search. This circumstance is the less to be regretted, as he was very much in the French interest, which his people has declared upon oath, since made prisoners: whose lives have been spared, at the particular request of Major Missett, our Consul at Cairo, by Osman Bey, the present Chief of the Mamelukes, a man very much in the British interest."
