WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1801.
It was our intention to have inserted in this day's paper several original communications, and the official declaration of war of the king of Spain against the Queen of Portugal, of which we have procured a translation. But the great length of the proposals for carrying the mail, and of Mr. Fenwick's vindication, oblige us to postpone them, notwithstanding the aid of a supplement. They shall appear in our next paper.
Though the advertising department will on some occasions unavoidably encroach on the columns ordinarily devoted to intelligence and political discussion, yet the greatest care will be taken, with the assistance of supplements, to make amends for any deficiency in one paper by the appropriation of greater room in another.

THE FRENCH BUDGET.
FOR THE YEAR NINE—1801.
On the 9th January, the committee from the Tribunate presented to the Legislative Body the state of the Finances, of which the following is a sketch, from the speech of the citizen Arnaud.
"A year has scarcely passed away since a commission of the five hundred presented in this tribunate, the demand which had been made by the directorial government, of the sum of 800 millions for the expenses of the 8th year. This sum was at first reduced to 600 millions; but by the new economy of the consular government, the expense of the 8th year has been fixed, as follows—a sum at that of 563 millions; which is 237 millions less than what had at first been fixed upon by the directory. You know, what glory and success has been gained for the republic, by the employment of these expenses thus reduced! Our brave armies struggling against want of every kind, had temporized with victory, until the good genius of France had raised up out of chaos, every conception of prudence and boldness, of moderation and of valor, that resembled magic; every combination of exterior politics and administrative economy, which, since the 9th of November, have reinitiated the destinies of the republic and wrung the knell of humiliation, for that implacable enemy of peace—England. Proofs of affection given by faithful allies, marks of confidence and common interest on the part of neutral powers; those buds of friendship that are carefully cultivated by the cabinets which have shaken off the venom of English politics; all these testimonies prove to Europe the wild in of the French Government.—The capitalists of all countries are ready to seize the favourable moment for rendering their property secure and productive, and perceiving the guaranty in the approaching pacification, are hastening to have an interest in our public funds, which have been increased in value since the 9th of November. In fact, whatsoever mortgage or guaranty can be offered in any part of Europe to the employment of capitals? England, groaning under the weight of debt and taxes, undermined by a system of bankruptcy which is practised by its bank, is labouring under a progressive dearth of provisions. Its bloated power has hitherto maintained itself by practising illusions on the cabinets of Europe, and by its tyrannical dominions in India, which, while its points of contract are distant six millions of leagues from the metropolis, will totter upon the first breaking out of her interesting dissensions in Europe. The possessors of capitals in England have many causes of disquietude and alarm—It is already proved by the discredit of bank notes, by the disorder in the course of exchange, and by the well known facts, that moveable fortunes have been taken away even from London, in order to be placed in the public funds of France."
The project was then adopted by 253 white, against twelve black balls.
The president declared it had passed into a law. It is as follows:
Art. 1. The sum of 415 millions is granted to government for the different services of the year 9.
2. This sum shall be taken out of the produce of the contributions decreed by the law of the 16th of March last, and the other revenues of the year 9.
3. The general account of the receipts and expenditures made during the year, shall be given to the government by the minister of finances, and presented to the legislative body during the first months of the following year.
The account of receipts shall comprehend all the sums received, and shall be divided into as many heads as there shall have been different contributions and other public revenues.
The account of expenses shall comprehend all the sums paid; and shall be divided into as many heads as there are services.
The day before the dissolution of the Directorial Government, 17 Brumaire 8th year (8th Nov. 1799) the tiers consolide, were at 8; on the 1st Jan. 1801, they were at 56!
At the same dates the English 3 per cents consols, were at 58 1-4—and 53 a 51 1-2.
D'Halmont to C. Dervise, commissioner general of Foreign relations with the Bey of Tunis.
On board the Bonds Patriotes brig, Jan. 8th, 1801.
In consequence of the request you have made to C. Nobile, to obtain information
respecting the army, I shall transmit to you every thing I know on the subject.
The vessels dispatched from France for Alexandria, arrived there before our departure, being twelve in number, laden with balls and muskets and bringing good news.
In regard to the army of Egypt, I can assure you, it is in good order; well clothed, well armed, and well paid; no epidemic disease has prevailed for a year past; the plague last year, occasioned very little ravage; we have lost no more than 150 men by disease. The port of Alexandria was entirely free, none of the enemy's vessels were cruising before it. The Turks and the English, who had remained there a long time, retired between the 7th and 12th of October, and notwithstanding their cruizers, vessels were continually passing, between Alexandria and Rosetta. Alexandria is in a respectable state of defence; workmen were daily employed in the fortifications, and more than 400 pieces of cannon had been mounted. Aboukir is also well fortified, and better than it ever was before. The fortifications of Cairo were daily encreasing, on all the surrounding mountains, towers from which the soldiers can bring assistance in need, and where they are sheltered from any sudden attack, have been built, and each little fort is supplied with water and provisions. Damietta is also secured against any designs of the enemy. In Upper Egypt we have been perfectly quiet since the treaty of peace concluded between Gen. Kleber and Mourad Bey. The latter faithfully observes the conditions of the treaty; and the best understanding prevails between him and Gen. Dowzelot, who commands in Upper Egypt.
When we left Alexandria, the army were expecting that a landing would be attempted by the English. But if such is their design, they must concert their measures with great prudence, for they will find men ready to receive them. Our soldiers are so well accustomed to the climate that they march through the deserts better than the natives. Our cavalry are well mounted, and our artillery is in the best state. Be assured C. Commissioner, that our troops will be highly gratified to see the English near them; if they once land, they flatter themselves that they will not suffer them to re-embark.
We met the Nile corvette, on her way to France, having on board officers charged with dispatches.
Such, C. Commissioner, are the latest news from Egypt. I beg you will receive the assurance of my respect.
(Signed) D'HALMONT.
EGYPTIAN DISCOVERIES.
The researches made by the French in Egypt into every branch of interesting and scientific inquiry, and into the immense treasures of antiquity, which this celebrated country has long concealed, are going on with the greatest ardour and zeal, and begin to assume a regular and methodised system.—Some of the most curious particulars are mentioned in a letter from Citizen Corabœul, one of the Commissioners for examining Upper Egypt, dated July 11, 1800. He says, "The geography of Egypt has been nearly completed by the labors of the Commission. The errors necessarily attending topographical admeasurement, have been corrected by astronomical observation, so that little is now wanting to complete the materials for constructing a chart of this famous country from the earliest antiquity. The tables of longitude and latitude, determined by C. Nouet, have been printed, and from comparing them with those of Denville, the differences will be found so great, as to shew the necessity of the present observation. The latitude of Syene, for instance, which Eratosthenes placed under the tropic, is nearly forty minutes different from that which has been assigned to it. It was a very important object to determine the comparative level of the two seas. The traces of the ancient canal have been discovered; and from the different levels which have been taken, no doubt can be entertained that the height of the waters of the Red Sea exceeds that of the Mediterranean. A complete knowledge has been obtained of the monuments of antiquity which now remain (the most valuable of which are in Upper Egypt,) and plans of the site of the ancient cities have been taken. Drawings have been taken of the pieces of sculpture which embellish the antique monuments. They represent sacrifices made to the different deities, battles, triumphal entries, &c. In a grotto near to Elethera, or Lucinea, have been found accounts relative to agriculture, the fishery, and navigation. The sepulchral grottoes of Thebes, which
are so numerous, and dug with so much art, have been carefully examined. Many of them contain mummies in high preservation, and in rummaging around them, several rolls of papers have been found, which have enriched many of the Members of the Commission with some of the most ancient manuscripts in the world. But the most remarkable and interesting prize for science, which has been discovered is two zodiacs, the one engraved at the base of a peristyle at Esne, the other in the great temple at Dendera. The former indicates the solstice in the sign of Virgo, the other, which is of later date, shews the sun in Leo, and his approach to Cancer has also been shewn. The intention of the founders of these monuments was certainly to represent the present state of the heavens when these were constructed. A comparison of the two zodiacs, which may now be instituted, throws back to the most remote antiquity the period of the construction of these temples, and proves in a striking manner the knowledge which the ancient Egyptians possessed of that astronomical phenomenon, the procession of the equinoxes."
