PARIS, January 31.
REPORT OF COL. SEBASTIANI
The supplement to the Moniteur of the 30th of Jan. contains the report made to the First Consul, by Colonel Sebastiani, on the objects of his mission, and the different occurrences that took place in the course of it. The report begins with an account of the voyage to Tripoli, and mentions the different transactions with the Bey, and the satisfactory arrangement of the differences between that Sovereign and the head of the French Republic and his allies. The history of these transactions we have already given in detail; the remaining proceedings being entirely new, we will give them, as far as they appear to us important, in the words of the report itself. Sebastiani says:
"The Pacha of Tripoli is a brave and enterprising man, and a friend to the French. The English have given assistance to his brother, who is now at Derna, destitute of means and of credit. His project was to raise an insurrection against the Bey. The political and administrative affairs of the regency are managed by Serd Mohammed Deghais, Minister of the Pacha. This man is full of sagacity, and has even some notion of the politics of Europe. He has travelled in France, and he preserves the feelings of a ruling affection for our country."
"On the 2d of October I departed from Tripoli, and on the 16th I arrived at Alexandria. On the same day I waited on General Stuart, commandant of the English forces by sea and land. I communicated to him the orders of the minister of foreign relations, which enjoined me to repair to Alexandria, and, if the English still occupied that place, to demand the speedy evacuation of it, and the fulfilment of the treaty of Amiens."
"At first General Stuart told me that the evacuation of the place would be put in execution in a short time; but seeing that I insisted and required a less vague answer, he declared to me, that he had no orders from his court to quit Alexandria, and that he even counted on passing the winter there. General Stuart is a man of middling capacity. He has for his Aide de Camp, a French emigrant, called the Chevalier de Sades, a man of sense, and an enemy to France, who has much influence over his General."
"On the same day I went to see Kourchiel Ahmed, Pacha of Alexandria, and the captain Bey, commandant of the Ottoman forces. After the usual compliments, and some agreeable expressions with respect to the Porte, I informed them that French commercial agents were about to come and settle in Egypt. This communication gave them the greatest pleasure, and they did not affect to conceal from me the pain with which they beheld the stay of the English in this country. I informed them that this stay could not be of much longer duration, and that the general peace left no doubt of their speedy departure."
"On the 20th I set out for Cairo, escorted by two Turkish officers and six French soldiers, whom I took from on board the frigates: contrary winds obliged me to return to port."
"On the 23d I arrived at Faone where I saw the commandant of the place, the Cadi, and the Cheiks. I received from them the best treatment, and from all with whom I conversed, protestations of attachment to the First Consul."
"On the 25th I saw at Menouf the Cheik Abda, whom the First Consul had appointed Cadi. The other Cheiks of the town came to visit me at his house, and spoke to me in the same language as the Cheiks of Faone. I said to them—"
"The First Consul loves your country much, he speaks of it frequently; he interests himself much in your happiness; he will by no means forget you, and he will recommend you to the Porte. He has made peace with Europe, and this country shall feel the benefits of the interest he takes in it, and of the remembrance which he preserves of the poor Cheiks of Egypt."
"I arrived on the same day at Bou-Jak, from whence I immediately dispatched Citizen Joubert, to give notice of my approach to the Pacha at Cairo. On the morning of the following day the Pacha sent an escort of 300 cavalry and 200 infantry, commanded by the principal officers of his household, to accompany me to his residence, whither they conducted me, amidst a great number of discharges of artillery. On my arrival at the Pacha's house, I addressed him in the following terms."
"Peace has been concluded between the French republic and the Sublime Porte. The ancient relations of amity and commerce are about to be re-established, and I am charged by the Great Consul Bonaparte, to assure you of his good wishes, and to announce to you the arrival of French Commercial Commissioners in Egypt."
"The Pacha answered, "the benevolence with which the First Consul honours me, penetrates me with gratitude, and his commercial agents shall receive in this place the most friendly welcome."
"On the 26th, in a second interview with the Pacha I addressed him in these terms. The First Consul takes a lively interest in you and the country which you govern, and desires to contribute to your happiness; he has charged me to offer his mediation to make peace between you and the Beys."
"The Pacha thanked me warmly and sincerely for the interest of the First Consul; but he protested to me that he had the most positive orders from his Court to make a war of extermination on the Beys, and to enter into no terms with them. I observed to him that the unfortunate affairs which had taken place with respect to the Ottoman troops (they had been beaten 5 times by the Mamelukes) rendered their position very critical, and that this obstinacy exposed him, to the loss of the provinces. He then communicated to me the orders of the Porte, and I saw beyond a doubt that it was not possible for him to agree to any accommodation. I informed him that I intended to see the different Cheiks of Cairo, as well as Madame Murad Bey. He immediately gave orders that the guard, which he had sent to me should accompany me wherever I choose to go, telling me, that he should be enchanted at being able to contribute to render my stay at Cairo agreeable."
"On the same day I commenced my visits with the Cheik Abdal-aei Cherchario, of the Grand Mosque. As I was expected at his house, he had caused a considerable number of Cheiks to assemble there. The conversation turned on the interest which the First Consul takes, in the state of Egypt, his power, his glory, and his esteem and good will for the learned Cheiks of Cairo."
"Their answers expressed their attachment for his person; and it would be necessary to have been, like me, an eye witness of the enthusiasm which the sight of the portrait of the first consul excited, to be able to form an idea of the height of their feelings on the occasion. I bestowed it on all the principal Cheiks of Cairo, and of the towns through which I passed."
"Citizens Joubert and Berge assured me that the inhabitants of Cairo had never shown so much attachment to the French as since my arrival. When we passed through the streets every one saluted us. The astrologers every day made predictions concerning the first Consul."
"On the 27th I went to visit Madame Murad Bey. Her intendant had already waited on me, to request me to grant her an interview. I informed her, that the first consul had charged me to interpose my mediation to make peace, between the Beys and the Sublime Porte, but that the Pacha had orders not to enter into any negotiation."
[It is necessary here to notice, that the days omitted in our extract from M. Sebastiani's journal, were employed in visiting the forts, garrisons, and other military posts, of the actual state of the fortifications of which, and the nature and strength of their present garrisons, he gives the most particular account. At Cairo he employed the remainder of the day, on which he visited Madame Murad Bey, in examining the Citadel, the isle of Roda, Gize, Boulak, and all the other little forts that surround the town. "The Turkish soldiers," says he "grumbled at seeing me go through the fortifications and inspect the forts in this manner; but I pretended I did not hear them, and continued my course and my observations.]"
"On the 27th, on my return from Fort Dupuy, a soldier threatened me with his attagan. As he had the appearance of being intoxicated, and as the inhabitants of the town showed the highest indignation against him I took no notice of his threats, and continued my course. A moment after Mustafa Oukil, one of the first men of the town, passed before me on horse back."
"As he passed, he reproached my servi with walking before a Christian, and above all a Frenchman, and above all threatened them with a bastinado after my departure. I thought I should not be silent on such an insult: and on my return home I sent Citizen Joubert to the Pacha with my complaint and to require a prompt reparation. I declared to him that this man should come to me publicly to demand pardon, place himself at my disposal, and implore my pity. It appeared that Mustafa was strongly protected by the Pacha, and efforts were made to arrange the matter otherwise: but I insisted, declaring formally to the Pacha that if this reparation was not made in the manner in which I had determined it, I should depart immediately and write to Paris and Constantinople to complain. This declaration produced all the effect I expected: & Mustafa, terrified came to my house the next morning, conducted by Mr. Routti: he publicly asked pardon of me, and put himself at my disposal. I said to him, that my first design was to have his head cut off and that I had granted his life only to the solicitations of the Pacha and Mr. Routti; but that if it ever should happen again that he should insult a Frenchman, his destruction was inevitable."
"This affair became immediately known in the town and produced the best effects."
"The same day an attempt was made to excite the Albanians to a mobbish insurrection against me. Two letters from Rosetta, written by persons under the protection of the English, affirmed, that a French fleet of 300 sail had been despatched from the coasts of Natolia; that we were marching against Constantinople: and that the only intention of my stay in Egypt was to deceive them in regard to the dangers with which they were menaced. I sent for the merchant who had received this letter. I requested him to deliver it to me. He complied. I sent that instant to the Pacha, to say, that news absurdly false, were propagated in order to excite disorders, and to produce dissention between France and the Porte: but that, on my life, I could affirm them to be false."
"The Pacha was aware of the trick, and was not duped by it. He even communicated to me a letter he had received from Gen. Stuart, and to which was subjoined the First Consul's order of the day, at the time when he had the command of the Army of the East. That order of the day was for Fructidor, in the 7th year of the existence of the Republic. It reminded the Egyptians that Constantinople was tributary to Ambia, and that the time was arrived at which to restore to the East its ancient ascendancy, & to destroy the Empire of the Osmanlis in the East. Gen. Stuart requested the Pacha to consider the true import of that order, and from it to judge of the sincerity of our professions, and of our peace with the Turks."
"I could not, without indignation, see a military man belonging to one of the most enlightened and polished nations in Europe, thus debase himself to provoke assassinations so dishonorable. He failed of his aim. The Pacha, to the very moment of my departure, treated me with the most flattering kindness. The English Commissary at Cairo, witnessed the attachment of the inhabitants of that city to the French."
"The two persons who have now the greatest influence with the Pacha are Rosette and Maharonki. They both hate France, and are mutually hostile to each other; Rosette is generally believed to have betrayed the Beys, and to be at present sincerely in the interests of the Osmanlis. Yet he manages so as to secure the favor of the Mamelukes if they should prevail. He is now concerned with the Pacha in a traffic of grain and saffron, by which he has, within a very short time, added some millions of livres to his fortune."
"Sherif Effendi was, before my departure, named Pacha of Jedda, & is succeeded by Najah Effendi, who was on his way to Cairo. He refused the appointment, and intended, after a pilgrimage to Mecca, to return to Constantinople. Mahamed, Pacha of Cairo, was a Georgian slave, had his education in the house of the Captain Pacha, to whose interests he is devoted; and, in character strongly resembles his master. Sheikh El Sada requested me to send Colonel Joubert to visit him: and to him, he protested, that he had still the warmest attachment to the First Consul's person. "That great distinction only by the benefits which he bestowed. My country ought to remember him only as her benefactor. He was just, and he was good."
"All the Sheiks whom I saw, made complaints against the Turks."
"Zouf Luktur, formerly intendant for the First Consul, is Muteselb or Director of the police of Cairo."
"I had recommended the Monks of Mount Sinai to the Pacha. A deputation of them waited upon me. I wrote to their superior, to assure them of the First Consul's kindness and protection. The monks of the Propaganda at Cairo, I replaced under the protection of the French nation, as they were before the war: They celebrated a solemn service, and sang Te Deum in honor of the First Consul. I was present at the ceremony; and it was attended by all the Christians in Cairo. I assured the fathers, that they should enjoy all their ancient privileges."
"On the evening before my departure, I again saw the Pacha. I recommended to his favour all the Christians, and all the Turks who had shown kindness to the French in Egypt. He promised due respect to my recommendation."
"At Damietta I visited Ahmed Pacha Illebil, a creature of the grand Vizier. He returned my visit next day. I was on the best terms with him, during the whole of my stay there."
"I was visited on the 17th by a son of Hassan Toubar, who still retains his wanted influence with the inhabitants on the borders of the lake Menfale."
"At Damietta, are two Christians, Messrs. Bazile and Don Bazile, men of wealth and influence."
"In all Egypt, Chiefs, Merchants, Ulmas and people, all talk with pleasure of the first Consul, and express the strongest wish for his welfare. All news concerning him are most eagerly heard and propagated at Damietta, Alexandria, &c."
"On the morning of the 29th, I dispatched Citizens Joubert and Lagrange to Ghezaz Pacha with a letter, in which I informed him, that peace being concluded between France & the Porte, the regulations of commerce were about to be established on the same footing as before the war, and that I was commissioned by the First Consul to confer with him on that subject. I entreated him to acquaint me by letter, if he was disposed to an interview with me. Citizens Joubert and Legrange returned some hours after. Ghezaz received them coolly enough. He told them I might come to him, but he would give them only a verbal answer. Every one advised me to see him without a written assurance under his own hand; but notwithstanding these cowardly cautions, and his obstinate refusal to answer my letter, I determined to proceed, without delay, to Acre."

There will be sold at the same time, a small tract of land contigu- ous to the town, containing 37 acres. This is subdivided, and will be sold in small parcels con- taining from 4 to 6 acres. The sale will be con- tinued till the whole is sold. The terms of sale are one fourth of the pur- chase money in hand when deeds will be execut- ed to the purchasers; one other fourth in six months after the sale; one other fourth in twelve months, and the remaining fourth in eighteen months, for securing these payments deed of trust will be required upon the property conveyed from each purchaser for his part.
