Let us now turn to the French fleet, which they were soon to encounter. On the ist of July, Admiral Brueys, with his fleet, brought to off the old port of Alexandria, and at once learned that a British squadron had been looking for him there. On hearing this, General Bonaparte desired to be landed, and the Admiral at once proceeded to disembark the General and 6000 men, in a creek near Marabout Castle, about six miles from the city of Alex- andria. Between the ist and the 6th of July all the tr...oops, with their baggage, were landed ; and six vessels, armed enjlute, went into Alexandria harbor, to protect the trans- ports. As the ships-of-the-line drew too much water to enter. Admiral Brueys, with three frigates and 1 3 sail-of- the-line, stood off and proceeded to Aboukir bay, about 15 miles to the eastward of Alexandria. Reaching the bay, he anchored his ships very judiciously, in line ahead, about one hundred and sixty yards (Engl.) from each other, with the van-ship close to a shoal in the northwest, and the whole of the line just outside a four-fathom bank.
