Upon the upper margin, to the left. is written the
following note, in red letters, probably by the Reis
Effendi :
TMs is a difpatch of your Have Mouhammed All Pacha, Go-
vernor of Egypt, to his Highnefs the Mott High. Mutt For-
tunate, Molt Generous Lord, my molt refpedkable and molt
honoured Brother.
44 The fupreme will 'of his Highnefs being that the
impuri prefence of the Englilh Infidels will had. at.
the time, taken poffeffion by furprife of the fortrefs
of Alexandria, fhould ceafe to fully this territory,
and that the Paid fortrefs (Mould be. with the help of
the MOST HIGH, retaken, and fubmitted to its lawful
poffeffor, in order to conform to the noble command,
the frontifpiece of which was decorated with the fa.
Bred charaaer of the Imperial hand, and addreffed to
the underfigned, his molt humble !lave; I haftened
to alembic every thing that was necefTary to the fuc•
eels of this military expedition, and from the &ft
day of the moon Digemaziul Oughra (about the
Bth of Auguft), I let off from Cairo, at the head
of all the cavalry and the flower of the infantry, and
marched height againil the enemy. I pitched my
tamp in the plain of Demenkhor, fix leagues from
the place called Sed, an intrenched poll of the Eng•
lifh. 1 fent during the night a few of the light hot fe
to the fpot. for the purpofe of teconnoitring the po-
fition of the Englifb, and the means to be taken for
furronnding them. I marched forward myfelf, and
(retired the molt proper places for the railing of my
batteries. and for the introduction of the aimed
boats and gun harks into two Lakes, which are
upon both flanks of the Sed ; this operation, per-
formed in the filenee of the night, having 'ailed for
Tome time, could not be concealed from the know-
ledge of the boats which the enemy kept Rationed
upon the Lakes; accordingly, he fired manfeannon-
flints. which happily did us no damage; however,
this &II movement on our part had already given
him the alarm, and the next day we faw arrive with
the Major, who bed been fentito me twice before Rea
negotiator, the fecond in command of the Englifh
forces, accompanied by two other perfons, and who
took the title of Plenipotentiary, appointed both by
the Commando, of the fquadron. and by the Gene•
ral of the land forces, to conclude peace ; this Ple-
nipotentiary produced in fupport of his charatter, his
credentials. The fenfe of thefe writings, the lan-
guage of the bearer, and the refult of the conference,
amounted upon the whole to thefe few words
is not the demand you make in the name of his Highnefs,
your powerful Emperor, the reftitution of the fortrefs of Aleun•
dria ?---Reltore us our prifoners who fell into your hands in the
two engagemems which took place at Rofetta, and we will return
you the Paid place. I &mild alfo have renewed to you the three
aimed lily' of his Meiners, had they not been fent in England,
and t hereby formally engage to get them directly (cut back to the
Sublime Porte."

" There propofitions, which the Englifls made
without there being yet any attack on either fide,
having been weighed in the Council, were accepted.
It was considered that though infidels may well em•
ploy cunning and craft, the (word of the true faith
always predominates. On the other hand, it was ob 1
revved, that the poll of Sed could not be carded
without landing troops there ; and that on account of
the ground which the Nile leaves uncovered in i:s
ordinary entitle, the landing depends abfolutely on
the great increase of the waters of that river, which
having inundated the whole (urface of the earth,
would catty where favour the entrance of the boats
and the gun barks. Now the overflowing of the
Nile has been middling this year, and does not allow
thefe barks to venture into (hallow water. It would,
no doubt, be pollible to take vengeance by another
means, of our enemies, bu; if we gave them time
they might receive fuccours and reinforcements.—
From there confiderations we confined ourfelves to
Tome other conditions, and the accommodation was
figned.
" I direelly difparched to Alexandria my Kiahea,
(Intendant and Lieutenant) Mau!tamed Aga, in or-
der to take immediate vitiation of the town and for-
tifications, of the artillery, warlike Flores, and other
things moll effential, and I myfelt to day " Tuefday,
t9th of the Moon of Ridgele," (tad Septeember),
made my entry into this town, which has been at
length purged of the infidels who fullied it, Ind is
now returned undir the Mailman dominion, Glory
be to the Most Mem !
" So gteat a favour from the Goo of Mercy, and
the Cignal grace which he vouchfafed to the molt
feeble of his (laves, in taking him for the inftrument
of the recapture of Alexandria, and of the execution
of the Imperial will, mull be exclufively attributed
to the infinite merit of t,is Highnefs, my molt Au-
gull,moß Formidable, moll Powerful and very mi.
ractilous Emperor and Matter, and imputed to his
fortunate liar.
" The information of this conqneft is the principal
objea of the present difpatch which I have the ho-
nour of writing to your Highnefs, by the Chief of my
Tartars and by his companion. I !hall haften to lay
before your Highnefs the citcumllantial account of
this glorious event, the inventory of the cannons,
arms, Wires, and other effetis found in the town, and

whole will be prefented to you and laid at your feet
