Official advices were received yesterday by Government from Egypt of as late a date as the 3d of May.
No operations of importance have taken place in Egypt, but a British fleet, with troops, has reached Suez. Lord Keith could not send many particulars, on account of his cypher having been lost on board the Queen Charlotte when he blew up.
The arrival of troops at Suez is extremely seasonable. The attention and force of the French must now be divided, and it is reasonable to expect, that hopeless of receiving reinforcements from Europe, and placed between two armies so much superior in force, they will soon be compelled to surrender.
