NEW COURT-HOUSE IN THE BOROUGH.

AT ten o►clock this morning the LORD CHIRP'
jurrrc of the (ing's Bench, and the other Judges
named in the Special Commission for the Trial of
the Parsons charged with High Treason, appeared
in Court.

The Prisoners being placed at the Bar, they all,
with the exception of Mr. Desisard, prayed that
Counsel might be assigned to them.—They were
then asked the names of the Gentlemen whom they
wished to have as Counsel ? They all named Mr.
ft:in and Mr. HOVEL. Those Gentlemen were
accordingly assigned to them as Counsel.
.Mr.legyt. said, 'that the Prisoners having no.
tninated him as their Counsel, he accepted of it in
the course of his professional duty he was also au.
thorized by Mr. HOVEL (who was not present) to
say that he also accepted of the nomination.
The Indiainent was then read ; and Mr. De:-
141 rd being asked how he would be tried, replied,
that he thought that point had been already
determined by his Prosecutors. He was then
told that the question was usually put, and that the
answer was, rg By God and my Country ;"—which
answet he immediately gave, and entreated that the
observation he had made might not be considered as
a mark of incivility. He really thought that the
made ,of trial had been determined, and therefore
he Meant no incivility.
The Court said, that no inference should be
drawn from it,
All the other Prisoners pleaded. Not Guilty in the
usual way.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL then itatedi that he
wished to take that opportunity of observing; that
to his opinion the publication of any of the Proceed.
ings of a Court of Justice, pending the Trial,
was not Only a contempt of the Court, but
Was also a Misdemeanor at Common Law. He
thatPrOteeded to comment upon the evil efTetis
might result from the partial publication of
Trials before they were over, and said he did not
Consider these observations as applying merely to
the Trial of one Indictment, but of the whole. ,It
might be said, that when one Trial was over,
1t might be published : to this he answered,
N 0 t because in this case, though 'the Prisoners
Were charged in one Indiament, yet they might be
tried separately, and therefore the publication of one
irial might possibly influence the succeeding Trial.
It
event of any
was certainly not for him to anticipate the
of the cases of the Prisoners ; but it
„wawa tgular fur him to say, that his bringing them
LLrd in this manner, was a proof that he thought
tney ought to be convifted. He was therefore en-
!ttled to assume, that the first person tried would
be eonviaed, and then he would ask whether the
publication of that • Trial might not have a
bad eiteet against the other Prisoners who were
to be tried afterwards ? for the Jury whO were to
try them might receive certain impressions from
the perusal of the Evidence in the first Trial.--
Although he hoped that the first Trial might be
brought into the compass of one day, yet it was
morally impossible that the other Trials could ; he
therefore hoped that these observations would be
attended to, and that no publication would take
place until they were all over.
.11141 LORD CHI Er jun ro t said, that he had no
doubt but that the admonition w.1.1iC....b the A
T.OR.
1111 Y GENERAL had given would have its proper ef-
tea, so that the Court would have no occasion what-
ever to animadvert upon the publication of any of
its proceedings. •
The Court then adjourned till Monday ; and the
LOl4 Chief Justice gave notice, that the Judges

REPORT MADE TO THE FIRST CONSUL $Y &)1.0.

NEL SEBASTIANT.

" ON the 16th of September I embarked at
Toulon on board the Contelie, and on the 3oth I
arrived at Tripoli. I immediately wrote to Bartin
CEDERSTROM, the Swedish Rear.admiral, as well
as to the Minister of the Paella, to offer them my
mediation to terminate the differences existing
between the Swedish Court and the Regency.
My mediation was accepted : the Minister and the
Rear-admiral repaired to the Commissarial flouse
of France, and we entered on the Negotiation.
The two Parties were far asunder ; the Pacha
demanded a considerable sum, and an augmentation
of the annual tribute. He urged a Treaty made
two years ago by an Envoy of the King of Sweden,
which assured the paymeht pf 24.5. thousand heavy
piastres, and of an annuity of zo,ooo ; he added,
that two years of war had subjeded him to extraor-
dinary expellees, and that he used great moderation
in conforming himself to the Treaty in question.
M. de CEDERSTROM only offered, in the name of
his Court, too,ooo piastres for the redemption of
the Swedish Slaves, who were to the number of
a hundred and fifty, and an annuity of 5000 piastres.
After much debate, I succeeded in making them
sign a Treaty which fixed the payment of the
Ransom at 150,000 piastres, and the annuity at
80430.
" On the Ist of Odnber I was presented with
much pomp to the Pacha, who received me in
the most distinguished manner. The exchange of
the Ratifications of The Treaty of Peace took place,
and the Italian Republic was formally acknow-
ledged. • I caused its Flag to be hoisted on the
Commissarial House of France, and it was saluted
by the Frigate and the place, with 21 guns.
" It was not without difficulty that the Pacha
consented to acknowledge that Republic. He
feared that all Italy was comprized in this new
Republic, and that, in consequence, he would
be obliged to respeft indiscriminately all the
ships of Commerce of that part of Europe :
—this would destroy his Marine. I gave
him the necessary explanations, and particularly
those which related to the object of his appreln n.
sions, and he replied to me, Certainly I wish to
be at peace with the Italian Republic, without too
much injuring uiv interests but if it were still
more difficult, I would elo it, since the Great Bona-
parte desires it.'
" The Pacha of Tripoli is g brave and enter-
prizing man, the friend of France. The English
have furnished succours 'to his brother, wtv., is at
present at Derue, without means or credit. His
plan is to raise the Country against the Bey.
" The political and administrative Afflirc of the
Regency are conduded by St to-MuHAMMED-1 L
D Gll4lB, Minister of the Paella. This man is
full of sagacity, and has even some notions of Eu.
topean Politics. He has been in France, and pre-
serves for our Country a predominant sentiment of
affedion.

" On the zd of OElober I set out Item Tripoli,
arid on the ibtli arrived at Aleximdria. the same
day I waited upon General STUART, Commandant
of the English Forces by land and sea. I cominiiiii.
cared to him the order of the Minister for Forcign
Affairs, which enjoined me to proceed to Alexan-
dria, and if the English still occupied that place, to
demand a speedy evacuation, and the execution of
the Treaty of Affrien's.

14 General STUART then told me, that the eva-
cuation of the place would shortly be eireCted ; but
seeing that I insisted, and that I desirei an answer
less vague, he declared to me, that he had no orders
from his Court to quit Alexandria, and that he even
believed he should pass the. winter there.
" General STUART is a,nian of mediocre talent :
he has for hi 3 Aid.de.Camp a French Etnigr.int,
called the Chevalier de SAUESi a man of talent, and
an enemy of France, who has much influence ove:
the General.

" I went the same day to see KtioußcH t D.AI4-
',Asp, the Paella of Nexaqdria and 1114 Capitan. Bey,
Commandant of the Forces of the Ottoman Pot te.

" After the'customary compliments, and some
language .agreeable to, the Sublime Porte,- I an.
nounced to them, that the Agents of French Com.
inerce would assemble in Etypt.• This communica-
tion gave them the greatest pleasure, and they did
net conceal that they saw with grief the stay of the
English in the Country. I told them, that their
stay could net be much longer, and' that the gene-
ral Peace left no doubt of their approaching 'dept..
• ture.

"'On the 17th I visited the Cheik EL-Mu:.
slay. The same day I also visited the Cheik
IBRAHIM MUFTI.

". On the 18th I visited the'Compure du Kbalidj,
which has formed the Lake lifjzreotis. The current
of the waters of the Lake illadVis still very strong,
and if the Porte 'dors not make haste to te.establish,
this important Canal, the • overflows which take
place on the little tongue of land that separates the
two Lakes, will render the opening so considerable
that it will be imposSible to travel. Ido not think
that the Swedish Engineer sent by the Porte to di-
ren these labours, has the necessary, talents. The
formation of the Lake /Warmth appears to haVe
contributed to the salubrity of the atr. The City
has no other water than, what it draws from the
wells• of illaraboql,
.This little Fort I found
guarded by an English and Turkish Garrison, in
order to protea the Inhabitants who came to draw
water. _ _

" I employed the day of the sgth in perambu-
lating the Town, and receiving different indivi-
duals who came to visit Me.

" On the loth, I set out for Cairo, escorted by
two Turkish Officers, and six French Soldiers,
whom I had taken on board the Frigate, but con-
trary winds obliged me to return to the Port.
.1( The next &ay I was at Aboukir, where I pas-
sed the night. I ,proflted by this opportunity to
visit the Fort, which is in a.very ruined*stare.
On the 22d, I arrived at Roieeta, after haiing
visited the Fort Julien; I saw the same day OsriArt,
Aga and Duvanny of the Town, as well as all the
Christians who reside there.

The z3d I was at aone, where I visited the
Commandant of the place, the Cadi, and the

Cheiks
; I received from the latter; and from all
those WhoM I entertained, proteitationi of attach.
ment to tit FIRST CONSUL.

" I passed the }next day,at Rabmaiie, where 1
visited the Cheik MiittAmMth Auov-At.k ; the
Fort of the Town is alMost entirely destroyed.
" I visited on the istb,- at Mevouf, the Cheik.
ABDIN, whom the FIRST CONSUL, had appointed
Cadi. The other Cheiks of that Town who came
to visit me, held the same language as those of
Fame% I said to them, ' The FIRST CON'AIL
loves your Country much, he speaks of it often ; he
interests himself in your happiness ; he'did not for.
get you, and recommended you to the Porte. He
has made peace with Europe, and this Country will
feel the interest which Ile takes, and the recollec-
tion which he has preserved of the poor Cheiks of
Egypt.'
MOHAMMED KACHEF - ZOURBA MUTZEL-
LEM, who commanded at Afenogf on my journey
through that Town, has been beheaded in conse
quence of being accused of communications with
the Mamelouks.

" The two Forts of Mrnoulf are destroyed.
" I arrived the same day at Boulak. I sent imme.
diately Citizen JOUBERT to inform the Pacha of
Cairo of rny arrival. •
" The next morning, the 26th, the Pacha sent
300 Cavalry and Zoo Infantry, commanded by the
principal Officers of his Household, to accompany
me to him, amidst a great many discharges of ar-
tillery.
" Having arrived at the Pacha's, I said to him,
Peace has been concluded between the French
Republic and the Sublime Porte the ancient rela.
tions of Amity and Commerce have been re-establish-
,:d, and I am charged by the Great Consul BONA:
PARTE, to assure you of his benevolence, and to
announce to you the arrival of Commissaries of the
French Commerce in Egppt.' The Pacha answered me,
6 The benevolence with which the FIRST CONSUL has
honoured me, penetrates me with gratitude, and his
Commercial Agents shall meet here the most friend.
ly reception.'
" I proceeded then to the house which the Pacha
had prepared for nuf.
" I received the same day the visits of all the /rim.
cipal men of the dountty, and of the Copt Intend.
ants.

" On the 27th I again repaired to the Pacha,
with whom I had a long conference. I spoke to
him in these words : The FIRST CONSUL takes
in you, and the Country which you govern, a very
lively interest, and desires to contribute to your
happiness ; he has charged the therefore to offer
you his mediation, in order to make Peace between
you and the Beys.'
" The Pacha thanked me warmly and sincerely
for the interest which the FtitsT Co ssut took in
his behalf, bur he protested to me, that he had the
most positive orders from his Court, to make a
War of Extermination upon the litya, and not to
enter into any arrangement with them. I observed,
that the unfortunate circumstances which had
happened to .the Ottoman Troops (they had been
beaten five times successively by the Mamelouks),
rendered their position very critical, and that
obstinacy exposed them to the loss of the Pro-
vince.. He then communicated to me the order of
the Porte, and- I saw beyond a doubt that it was
not possible for him to enter into any accommoda-
tion, rinformed him that I intended to visit the
difirrent Cheiks of Cairo, and also Madame MU-
RAD Bet, Mid, to inTell the environs and for-
titicati,•os of tee City. He .tudered immediately
the guard which he had sent should accompany
me wherever I wished to go, informing me, that he
'old use every means in his power. to -render my
stay At Cairo agreeable.
" The s.are day I commenced my visits, begin.
fling with the Cheik ABUALLAH.EL-CHRSCANOI,
of tit. sT;e:o- Mosque. As I was expected by him,
he h:: .:s3,:mbled a considerable number of Cheiks.
The c-)vt-tsation turned upon the interest which
the .I.lrit.T CONSUL took in Egypt, on his power,
his glory, and on his esteem and benevolence for the
Learned Chels of Cairo. Their answers expressed
their attachment to his person. •
" He must hive been a witness like myself, to
the enthusiasm excited at -the view of the por-
trait of the FIRST CONSUL, to form an idea of the
exaltation of their sentiments. I have given it to
all the principal Cheiks of Caro, and of the towns
where I have travelled. -

.11 On the zBth I invited% the Cheik OMAR EL..
&CRY,' Prince of the Shiriss he and I saw
only his son.
461
• 1.4 The Cheik SULEIMAN EL-FAttoourytv, re_
ceived me with much friendship, and assured me of
his boundless admiration for the FIRST CONSUL
The Citizens Jou a ERT andBRYE have certified to
me that the Inhabitants of Cairo never testified so
much attachment to France as on my arrival.—
When we pass along the streets, every body salutes
us. Their Astrologers make predictions every day
as to what concerns the FIRST CONt U L.

41 On the 29th, I went to visit Madame MURAD
Ilry : her Intendant had already prayed of the that
1 would grant her an interview. I informed her,
that the FIRST CONSUL had charged me to interpose
my mediation, in order to make their Peace'with
the Sublime Porte ; but that the Pacha had ordered
that no Negotiation should be entered into.
" I employed that day and the following in
visiting the Citadel, the Isle of Ro da.Gize, Bort-
la4, and all the other littleorts which surround
the city. The Turkish soldiers murmured to see
me visit their forts, hut I feigned not to hear them,
and continued my course and' my observations.

" On the 29th, in returning to Fort Drquy, a
soldier menaced me with his attagan, but as the
inhabitants of the city testified highly their indig.
nation against him, I did not stop at his menaces,
and continued my route. A moment afterwards
IVlusrArHA otralt., one of the Chiefs of the
City, passed before me on horseback. In passing,
he reproached my guides with, matching before a
Christian, and above all, before, a Frenchman, and
menaced them with the bastinado after my depar.
cure. I could not be silent under such an insult ;
and upon my return I sent Citizen Joua ear to the
Pacha, to make my complaint, and demand a prompt
redress. I declared to him that I expeded this man
would come publicly to me to ask my pardon, place
himself at*Tny disposal, and implore my pity-. lie

foOnd that .MusTantrA was greatly protefled bythe
Paella, and wanted to arrange it otherwise ; tint /
persisted by declaring formally to the Paella; thaeif
this reparation was not made in the manner in w
I had demanded it, I should ins:Jolty depart, and
immediately write to Paris and Consthnt;eopic trs
state my complaint. This declaration produc«l ali
the effed which I expelled ; and MUSTAPFIAi
alarmed, came on the following day to me, con-
cluded by ROSETTI, arid he publicly asked my
pardon, and put himself at my dish sal. I told him
that my first intention hail been to cut off his head,
and that I only gave hiM his life a.t the solicitations
of the Pacha and M. ROSETTI ; but if in future
he should ever insult the French, or those in their
Suite, his destrudion would be inevitable. This
affair, which was instantly spread thrcughout the
whole City, produced tire best eff'de
" The same day an attempt was made to
excite the Albanese against me. Two Letters
from Rosetta written by English protegees, assured
that there had been seen upon the Coasts of Natalia,
a French Fleet of 300 sail ; that we were marching
against Constantinople, and that my visit to Egypt
had no other objed but to deceive them, and blind
them to their dangers. I made the Merchant come
to me who had received the Letter : I made him
give it me—l instantly sent it to the 'Paella him..
self, telling him that this absurd news was spread
to occasion disorders, and to endeavour to alter
the good understanding which existed between
France and the Sublime Potte ; and I guaranteed
the falsehood of it with my head.
" The Pacha had discovered the snare, and did
not fall into it. He even, communicated to me a
Letter from. General STUART, which he had just
received, arid to which was joined an Order of tke
Day, of the FIRST CONSUL, when he commanded
the army of Egypt. This Order of the Day was
dated in August 1799, and recalled to the recollec-
tion of the Egyptians, that Constantinople was tri.
butary to Arabia, and that the time was noW come
to 'restore Cairo to its supremacy,. and to destroy
the Eastern Empire of the Ottomans. General
STUART begged the Pacha to consider the spirit of
that order, and to judge from it of our attachment,
and of our peace with the Turks. I was indignant
to find that a Soldier of one of the most polite na-
tions of Europe should degrade himself so fir as to
instigate assassination, by means of such an insinua„.
tion—the Pacha treated me with the greatest polite.
ness, and the English at Cairo were witnessess cf
the attachment of that City to the French.
" I received a deputation from the Monks of
Mount Sinai, whom I recommended to the Pacha
I wrote to their Superior, to assure them of the
friendship and protettion of the FIRST CONSUL...—
The Monks of the Propaganda at Cairo, whom 1
placed under the national protedion which they en-
joyed before the war, celebrated a re Deans for
the. prosperity of the Ft aST CONSUL. I assisted at
this ceremony, at'which all the Christians of Caira
were present. The -evening beflare my departure
(the ad November), I had another interview with
the Paella, and recommended all the-Christians of
Cair,7 to his protedion, as well as the Turks, who
during the residence of the French in Egypt, were
conneded with them. lie not only promised to
resped them, but even to treat them .with bounty.

h

On the 3d, I set out in a Conveyance of the
Pacha's in order to repair to Damietta.—The Paella
ordered me to be escorted to Berilak, with the same
honours that I received on the day of my arrival. I
had written to Captain Gou a D IN, to repair to
Damietta with the Frigate, in order to convey, rne
to Syria.—On the ph, I stopped a short time at
Simenoud, and afterwards at Mansoura, where I saw
the Commandant of the City and the Cheik Essr
MUHAMM ED-EL-CHENAONI, who came to see me,"
as well as all the other Cheiks. I spoke to them;
in the same manner as to the other Cheiks of t gypt,
and received the same promises of attachment. The
Tower of Man/aura is destroyed; The saint day I
arrived at Damietta.

" The next day I went to ARM ED-PACHA-
BR Ban IL, a creature of the Grand Vim Rit's j he re-
turned my visit the same day.—He conduced` him.
self perfectly well to me during my stay in that
City. ,
" On the 7th, I went to visit,the Fort of Leslie
and the Towers of Rogaz. They have not eonti.
nued the works of that Fort, which is in a bad
stain : those of llogaz are in a good condition.
There is a Garrison of 200 men in the Fort and in
the Towers.

" On the Bth, I received the visit of ElmsAsi
TOUIIAR.: his influence over the Inhabitants of
Mensaie is still the sane.

" On the 9th, I. went to Senen;e, where I saw
the Cheik lIIILAri(m-EL.BEHLouT, he. who be-
haved so well to the French under the orders of
General VIAL, when they were taken and ittrri.
soned. The FIRST Cotaut, had dempted his
rage from all Contributions.

I saw all the Cheiks at. Damietta, partiCtOarly.
At.i KIIASANJ, whom the PIR.ST CONSUL had in_
vested with a pelisse : he is possessed of great cre.:
dit, and is much attached to the French. There
are at Damietta two Christians, who are men of
merit, and may be very useful to us a—they are AT.
BnztLE and Don BAZ I LE. They are possessed of
good information, have very considerable fortunes,'
and. are very highly respelled. In Egypt, Chiefs,
Merchants, People, all like to talk of the litasT
CONSUL----all offer up prayers for his happiness. All
the news which concerns him spread from il/exon.
dria or Damietta .to the Pyramids and the Grand
Cataraas, with astonishing rapidity. On the t+th
the frigate, arrived at Boaz from Damietta. I
immediately set out for Acre, at which place I ar•
rived on the 19th.

41 The zotii of Novelnber, in the morning, I
dispatched Citizens JouasaT and LscttANOtt to
DOE ZAR with a leTter, in which I. stated to
him, that Peace being concluded between France and
the Porte, the relations of commerce should be re.
established an the,, footing they stand before the
War, and that I was, charged by the Flßrr CONSUL
confer with bun on that ObiCnS. I begged of
hint to answer me in writing, if he wa inclined
to trearwith me. In some hOuro the Messengers
returned—DoezzAß had received them coldly. He
expressed his desire to see me personally, but was
unwilling to write. Every body advised me not
to see him, without an assurance written .by hint.

,elf but rids he nOpearett unwilling to tiu: but,
.-sotwithstatiding this cautionary advice, and hisUb.
'dome refusal to write, I determined to repair
Myself immediately to Acre.
I replied, to house of the Commissary of
Stamm Isle. Very soon after, the Dragoman
of the Pacha, informed of my arrival, carne to con.
duo me to the Pacha, who received me io an apart.:
meat where he was unatteesled, and which was
without any other furniture than a carper. He had
on, one side him it pistol with four barrels; a
small air-gun, a: sabre and a hatchet, After- in--
quiring as to my health, he asked me., whether I
was not persuaded that our .end is pre-ordained in
licaven; and that nothing could change our destiny.
I answered, that I believedas he did, in predestina.
tion. He continued to speak for some time on this
subje6l; I perceived, however,: that he affeCled
degree of simplicity, but that, at the same time,
he wished to pass for a man of wit, as Well as for
a just man. He repeated several times—' It 'is
'said, that DGEZZAR is barbarbus—this is false;
he is but just and severe. 'Request of the FIRST
CON4UL,', not 'to send me, as Commissary of COM.
mercial l'elations,,a lame or a blind man ; because
such a person would be SLIM to say, that] PGEZZAR
had made him so.' Soon after, he said, 4 I desire
that the Conimissary .you may send shall reside
