On the 2nd of May, the regiment marched from Aboukir for _Rosetta_, where a Turkish force joined the British; on the 5th it advanced along the banks of the Nile, and continued in motion until the 16th of June, when it arrived before _Grand-Cairo_. The regiment moved to the right on the 21st of June, and encamped before the town of _Gizeh_; one of the gates of which place was delivered up by the French on the 28th of June. A convention with the garrison of _Cairo_, was on the following day announced as finally adjusted, by which that place was to be delivered up to the allied army, and the French troops to be transported to France. On the 14th of July, Lieut.-General Hutchinson communicated to the army the thanks of His Majesty, and of both Houses of Parliament, for its determined bravery at the landing, and in the actions of the 13th, and 21st of March, and concluded by a warm eulogium from himself. The army marched, and retraced its steps towards _Rosetta_. The promotion of Major Alexander Napier to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy, in succession to Lieut.-Colonel Erskine, killed in the action of the 13th of March, was announced in a manner most flattering to the corps on the 15th of July, as will appear from the following extract of a letter from His Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Commander-in-Chief, dated— “_Horse Guards, 30th May, 1801._ “MY LORD, “I need not assure you how sincerely I unite with you in regretting the loss of so deserving an officer as Lieutenant-Colonel Erskine, of the NINETY-SECOND regiment. I have ever entertained too high a sense of the gallant services of that corps, not to have recommended upon this occasion, that the succession should go in the regiment, of which His Majesty has been pleased to approve. “I am, &c. (Signed) “FREDERICK, “_Commander-in-Chief_. “_Major-General The Marquis of Huntly._” The regiment arrived on the heights of _Aboukir_ on the 8th of August, and on the following day marched to the same position which it had left on the 22nd of March, and encamped before Alexandria. The brigade under the orders of Brigadier-General John Doyle, Colonel of the eighty-seventh regiment, advanced before daylight on the 17th of August to attack two redoubts, situated on the green-hill in front of the enemy’s right, which the thirtieth and fiftieth regiments were directed against, while the NINETY-SECOND was placed as a reserve, and ready to support either. This service was successfully performed with little loss to the regiment. Troops having been sent in boats on the 26th of August to land, and break ground to the westward of _Alexandria_, the enemy this day sent out a flag of truce, and hostilities ceased; on the 2nd of September, Alexandria surrendered by capitulation, which event terminated the campaign in Egypt.
