LAST Tuefday dispatches arrived
from Buonaparte, after two months
from their date. , .
Buonaparte, in his dispatches fays, that
after he had gained Alexandria, he made
a treaty with the Arabs, and provided
for his march into Egypt. That bis
' name had been engraven on the foot of
the statue of Pompey. That he march
ed from Alexandria on the 7th July, fa,
the Pyramids on the 20th, and was in
Grand Cairo on the zzd. He had a
jkirmiffi with the Mamelukes on his
march, at Rahmanja, Ehebreifte, at the
Pyramids, and before Cairo. The
Mamelukes had 2006 cavalry at the last
place. Upon entering Egypt with the
French army, the Commander in Chief
proceeded to the organization of the E
gyptian provinces. Murat Bey had re
treated to the Upper Egypt, and Ibrahim
Beyto Belbeus. Buonaparte for 4 hours
engaged the whole force of Murat Bey,
Ibrahim Bey was on the other fide of hira,j
but had retreated towards Gaza.
Bey must march 9 days to reach the
of hit retreat. He had not time to take
the necessary water and provisions. By
following this last body of the troops =of
the Mamelukes, Buonaparte had reached
the place of the Caravan for Mecca,,.
Buonaparte sent them under escort to
Grand Cairo. The merchants of the
Caravan gave him a supper, and there
loon was am acquaintance through the
army. The opening of the Nile at Cai
ro wis celebrated at Cairo on the 18th of
A"uguft with great pomp. The people
expressed the highest fatisfadion that the
French so cordially partook in their fo
tannities. Upon the entrance of the
great defect, between Egypt and Syria,
French hate fortified, and,ere e,
citing a strong fort, at Salchich. This
is the last place on the %&% fide ,
". where there is good water. The French
army in Egypt had abundance of grain,
rice, putfe and live stock. The climate
proved favorable, but the nights were
"between the French troop# and
the inhabitants Oar reader# will
•recoiled that Gen. Schawenburg
wai ordered against Underwald to
force the inhabitants to accept the
new constitution. Faithful co hit
'orders, the General proceeded a
gaioft thia unfortunate and bold
people ; however, he met a re-
Cepcioo he did not expea. The
iwih fought like lions forl3 hours,
=and the most dreadful carnage eo
^ued.—Old men, and even the
'women, all joined in this terrible
cooflia. The French, irritated
^ such obstinate resistance, wreak
ed uponthem the most terrible
vengeance :— All the inhabitants
between Stantz and Stamzat wett
pillaged and destroyed. At Stantz,
17 houfei only escaped the ravag
es of the flames. Stantzat, and
federal other villages, were reduc
ed to afhei. Several Capuchins
and the Curate of Stantz were
found among the killed. Those
who escaped fled to the mountains
and were cldfely pursued. We
may form some idea of the fury
aad despair which animated this
wretched people, when we confide
ar that with a force far inferior,
without discipline or officers, they
resisted the French army for 13
hours, and were almost all cut to
pieces.
The Surrounding country (fay
the German and French papers)
afterwards presented noehjog but
a foil covered with fmoaking ru
ins and dead bodies.

ing the whole day ; and the loft
on both sides was very great. The
Divan of Conftinrioople were in
tyily expedition of receiving the
Formation, that Buonaparte had
capitulated ; as they could neither
advance nor retire ; ir,d were in
want of necessaries. A confirma
tory account mentions, that the
French army was reduced to
10,000 men. After those repeat
ed losses, B. proposed a capitula
tion to the Turks ;—Stipulating

were convinced of forcing him to
surrender at diferetioo.
