Theiloufe overflowed at an early hour in every

oikg from two fine frigates, 500 brats guns,

ent pillar, called Pompey's Pillar. It is a huge
• Ito pillar of immente thicknefs, and one en-
ire pitce, fifty-term feet high from the bate of
k pedeltal on which it is placed., The pedeflal
i fifteen feet fquare, and the whole fabric is about
imety feet in height. The pedeftal is compofed
eftwo prodigious pieces of granite marble. How
de pillar could be railed and placed on the pe-
irbl, and what engine accomplifh:sl it, has al-
rays been matter of wonder. Cleopatra's Needle
sa long narrow fquare pillar, near the tea, about
benty feet high, one entire piece of granite, and
lithely covered over with hietoglyphical figures;
•to much snore ancient than the pillar. Of all
left, and of the coffin in the pyramid, I have
bites.. As the French are not yet embarked, we
iltaa have paffes to Alexandria. After we get in-.
link Rate, the road for a mile is in a Rivet, lined
match fide only with ruins. Many large granite
damns are lying fcattered over the place, and
hse beautiful marble ciflerns. Three large gra-
ds' pillars Rand, the foli Lary work of fome noble
Instate. The French had begun, but dint not
ha, a new fquare in the town. The Itreets are
term and difagreeable, and the city has now an
striarance neither of regularity nor grandeur ;
it is full of mean ruins, and the habitable plates
km fait approaching. to a kindred equality with
their. In a few years they will not put the ruins
set of countenance.

" Ido not fee the fmallell improvement the
'taxi have made in this country ; they have not
eau built bar icks to themfelves, and appear to
11m done nothing but plundered and amafrecl to
dieudelves every thing valuable in it, all of which
fey are willing, in their kindnefs, to difpofc of to
ass moll exorbitant prices. We have here every
day officers and foldiera of their army, with
watches, camel-hair, films, fabres, and even wo-
anti t fell to us; and the officers, when they get
Mme, bid fair to put all the Jews of France out
sicountenance. The French women here are all
thrilled in men's clothes. The women of the coup•

mare Come very fair,othen quite black. To-day
I met a woman Tiding avidi Come officers, elegant-

twitted, that you can fee nothing but their eyes,
