M•MIL CIRCULATION.

Mr. VAN SITTAMIT moved, that there be laid on
the table an account of the amount of the notes of
the Bank of England in circulation on the th of
Oflober, 18os, the llt of December, 18os, and
the ift of February, 1803, dillinguifhing the
amount of thole under the value of 5!.
Mr. Titans T conceived it not the moa unex-
ceptionable mode of giving information to the
Houfe on this fubjea. to move for an account of
the fums in circulation on particular days. There
had been, as he was informed, times at which ex-
traordinary iffues of Bank notes bad been made.
Thefe times should be afcertained, and the caufes
of the extraordinary Woes explained. He thought
it a more fatidatory method to make up the ac-
count from week to week. or even from month
fo month, rather than make a feleßion of a few
tree& days.
Mr. THORNTON Paid, he raw no objeaion to the
predation of the accounts as now moved for i it
was the with of the Bank to give every potable in-
formation ; and i: the Honourable Gentleman knew
of any particular day on which lie had reafon to
think the extraordinary itfues to which he alluded
had taken place, he would readily agree to a mo-
tion for producing the account of the amount of
notes in circulation on that day alto.
Mr. VANSITTART (poke to the fame tired.

Mr. 'rimier wilhed to know whether this was
the foie ground on which the Houfe was to go into
a meafure of great importance, of which notice
had been it iven (the continuation of the Bank re-
flriElion bill ?)
Mr. VANSITTART faid, he would not take upon
him to fay what were the grounds on which the
rneafure adverted to by the Hon. Gentleman was
to bebrought forward ; but he fuppofed they would
be fully Rated on the day filed for the difitalion.
After borne farther converfation, accounts were
ordered, of the amount cf. Notes in circulation on
the aft Julie, IR Augult, tft December, 1802, and

PARIS, JANUARY 3T.
REPORT MACE TO THE FIRST CONSUL EY COLONEL

SEBASTIAN!.

44 On the 16th of September I embarked at
Touloa on board the Cornelie, and on the Both I
arrived at Tripoli. I immediately wrote to Baron
CEDE a sra om, the Swedith Rear Admiral, as well
as to the Miniller of the Pacha, to offer them my
mediation to terminate the differences exifting
between the Swedith Court and the Regency.—
My mediation was accepted: the Minitter and the
Rear Admiral repaired to the Cornmiffitrial Houle
of France, and we entered on the Negotiation.—
The two Parties were far afunder ; the Pacha
demanded a confiderable Turn, and an augmenta-
tion of the annual tribute. He urged a Treaty
made two years ago by an Envoy of the King of
Sweden, which allured the payment of 245,000
heavy piaftres, and of an annuity of 20,000 ; he
added, that two years of war had tubjc&ed him
to extraordinary expences, and that he ufed great
moderation in conforming himfelf to the Treaty in
quellion. M. de CEDE RSTROM only offered, in the
nitre of his Court, 100,000 piallres for the re-:
demption of the Swedith Slaves, who were to the
number of 130, and an annuity of 5000 piaftres.
After much debate, I fucceeded in making them
fign a Treaty, which fixed the payment of the
Ranfom at 130,000 piailres, and the annuity at
Boco.
" On tl.: lft of Onober / was prefented with
much pomp to the Pacha, who received me in the
moll thilinguifhed manner. The exchange of the
Ratifications of the Treaty of Peace took place,
and the Italian Republic was formally acknow-
ledged. I cauled its Flag to he hoided on the
Commiffitrial Houle of France, and it was Witted
by the frigate and the place, with 21 guns. It
was not without difficulty that the Nail content-
ed to acknowledge that Republic. He feared that
all Italy was comprifed in this new Republic, and
that, in confequence, he would be obliged to re-
fped indifcriminatcly all the (hips of Commerce
of that part of Europe :—this would deftroy his
Marine. I gave him the neceffaty explanations,
and particularly thole which related to the objeft
of his apprehenfions, and he replied to me, 4Cer-
taittly I with to be at peace with the Italia-s Re-
public, without too much injuring my anterell ;
but if it were Rill more difficult, I would do it,
!ince the Great BONAPARTII defires it.' The Pa-
cha of Tripoli is a brave and enterprizing man,
the friend of France. The Englifh have furniffted
fuccours to his brother, who is at prefent at De-
rue, without means or credit. His plan is to raife
the Country againf the Bcy. The political and
admindirative Affairs of the Regency are condult-
ed by Seid Mohammed el Deghais, Minifter of
the Yachts. This man is full of lagacity, and has ;
even fome rotions of European Politics. He has I
been in France, and preferves for our country a
predominant tentiment of affetion.

" On the 2d of 041ober I fet out from Tripoli,
and on the 16th arrived at Alexandria : the fame
day I waited upon General -; .rU•RT, Comman-
dant of the Englith forces by land and tea. I
communicated to him the order of the Minifter for
Foreign Affairs, which enjoined me to proceed to
Alexandria, and if the Englith Rill occupied that
place, to demand a fpeedy evacuation, and the
execution of the Treaty of. Amiens. General
SrvaaT then told me, that the evacuation of the
place would atortly be effeded ; but teeing that I
infißed, and that I cleared an anfwer lets vague,
he declared to me, that he bad no orders from his
Court to quit exandna, and that be even be
lieved be &null pats the winter there. General
STUART is A man of onednere talents: he has for
his Aid de Camp a French Emigrant, called the
Chevalier de Sanas, a man of talent, and an enemy
of France, who has much influence over the Ge-
neral. I went the fame day to fee Khourchid•
Ahmed, the Pacha of Alexandria, and the Capi-
tan Bey, Commandant of the Forces of the-Otto-
man Porte. After the culicmary compliments,
and force language agreeable to the Sublime Porte,
I announced to them, that the Agents of French
Commerce would &nimble in Egypt. This com-
munication gave them the greatefl pleafure, and
they did not conceal that they law with grief the
flay of the Englilh in the Country. I told them,
that their Ray could not be much longer, and that
the general Peace left no doubt of their approach-
ing departure.
" On the 17th I 'lilted the Cheik El !dairy.
—The fame day I alto vifited the Cheik Ibrahim
Mufti.

“ On the 18th I tinted theCnupure du Khalidj,
which has formed the Lake Marentis. The cur-
rent of the waters of the Lake Madie is Dill very
flrong, and if the Porte does not make hafle to re-
eflablifh this important Canal, the overflows which
take place on the little tongue of land that fepa-
rates the two Lakes, will render the opening fo
confiderable, that it will be impofGble to travel.
I do not think that the Swedifla Engineer fent by
the Porte to dired theft labours, has the necetfary
talents. The formation of the Lake Mareotis ap-
pears to have contributed to the falubrity of the
air. The City has no other water than what it
draws from the wells of Marabout. This little
Fort I found guarded by an Englifh and Turkilli
Garriiim, in order to proted the Inhabitants who
came to draw water.

" I employed the day of the tsith in perambn-
lating the Town, and receiving different indivi-
dual% who came to Vint me.

" On the xoth, 1 Itt out for Cairn, ercorted by
two Turkiffi Officers, and fix French Soldiers,
whom I had taken on board the Frigate, but coa-
teary winds obliged me to return to the Port.
" The next day I Wll at Aboukir, where I
palfed the night. I rofited by this opportunity
to silk the Fnrt, which is in a very ruined Rate.
" On the lad I arrived at Rofetta, after having
vifited the tOrt Julien ; I Ciw the fame day Orman,
Aga and Divanny of the Town, as well as all the
Chriß taus who resat there.

" The aid I was at Fsone, where i vilited the
Commandant of the place, the Cadi, and the
Cheiks ; I received Isom the latter, and from all
thole whom I efitertstitted, protastions of attach-

inent tis the FIRST CON SUL. . I paged the next
day at Rahmanie, where I vifited the Cheik. W-
hammed Ahou-Aly ; the Fort of the town is al- i
molt entirely deftroyed.
4' 1 vifited on the 25th, at Menouf, the Cheik
Abdin, whom the FIRST CONSUL had appointed
Cadi. The other Cheiks of that town who came
to vifit me, held the fame language as thole of
Faone. I Paid to them, ' The Firft Conful loves
your Country much—he fpeaks of it often—he in.
terefts himfelf in your happinefs ; he did not for-
get you, and recommended you to the Porte. He
has made peace with Europe, and this country will
feel the intereft which he takes, and the recollec-1
tion which he has preferved of the poor Cheiks of
Egypt.' Mohammed Kachef-Zourba Mutzellem,
who commanded at Menoufon my journey through
that town, has been beheaded, in confequence of
being accufed of communications with the Ma-
melonks. The two Forts of Menouf are dearoy.
ed. I arrived the fame day at Boulak. I fent
immediately Citizen Jou BERT to inform the Pacha
of Cairo of my arrival.
" The next morning, the 26th, the Pacha fent
Soo Cavalry, and zoo Infantry, commanded by
the principal Officers of his Houfehold, to accona-
pry me to him, amidst a great many difcharges
or artillery.—Having arrived at the Pacha's, I
laid to him, ' Peace has been concluded between
the French Republic and the Sublime Porte ; the
ancient relations of Amity and Commerce have
been re-eftabliffied, and I am charged by the
Great Conful BONAPARTE to airure you of his be-
nevolence, and to announce to you the arrival of
CommilTaries of the French Commerce in Egypt.'
The Pacha anfwered me, The benevolence with
which the Firlt Conful has honoured me, pene-
trates me with gratitude, arid his Commercial
Agents (hall meet here the molt friendly recep-
tion.' I proceeded then to the houfe which the Pa-
cha had prepared for me. I received the fame day
the vifits of all the principal men of the country,
and of the Copt Intendants.
" On the 27th I again repaired to the Pacha,
with whom I had a long conference. I (poke to
him in theft words The Fira Conful takes in
you, and the Country which you govern, a very
lively interell, and &fires to contribute to your'
happinefs ; he has charged me therefore to offer
you his mediation, in orderto make Peace between
you and the Beys.' The Pacha thanked me warmly
and lincerely for the interell which the FIRST
CONSUL took in his behalf, but he protelled to me
that he bad the molt pofitive orders from his Court
to make a war of extermination upon the Beys,
and not to enter into any arrangement with them.
I obferved, that the unfortunate circumflances
which had happened to the Ottoman troops (they
had been beaten rive times fireceffively by the
Mamelouks), rendered their pofition very critical,
and that obßinacy expofed them to the lots of the
province. He then communicated to me the order
of the Porte, and I taw beyrad a doubt that it
was not poffible for him to enter into any accom-
modation. I informed him that I intended to vifit
the different Cheiks of Cairo, and alto Madame
Murad Bey, and to infpeit the environs and for.
tifications of the City. He ordered immediately
that the guard which he had fent should accom•
pany me wherever : wished to go, informing me,l
that he would ufe every means in his power to
render my flay at Cairo agreeable. The fame day
I commenced my visits, beginning with the Cheik
Abdallah-el Chefcanoi, of the Great Moique.—
As I was expelled by him,he had affembled a con.
fiderable number of Cheiks. The eonverfat on
turned upon the interefl which the Flare Cossua
took in Egypt, on his power, his glory, and on his
efieem and benevolence for the learned Cheiks of
Cairo. Their anthers expreffed their attachment
to his perfon. He mull have been a witaefs like
myfelf, to the enthufialin excited at the view of
the portrait of the Four CONSUL, to form an idea
of the exaltation of their fentiments. I have
given it to all the principal Cheiks of Cairo, and
of the towns where I have travelled.
" On the 28th I invited the Cheik Omar El-
Belay, Prince of the Shirifs. He was ill, and I
law only his fon. The Cheik Suleiman El-Far-
goumy received me with much friendfhip, and
affured me of his boundlefs admiration tor the
FIRST CoNSULA The Citizens Joust RT and 1.11.1r1F
have certified to me, that the inhabitants 4CM..
never tellified fo much attachment to France as
on my arrival. NVhen we pais along the Rivets,
every body Wines us. Their Aftrologers make
prediflions every day as to what concerns the
FISRT CONSUL.

" On the 29th, I went to vifit Madame Murat]
Bey: her Intendant had Already prayed of me
that I would grant her an interview. I Infos med
her, that the FIRST Co►sue. had thatged me to
interpofe my mediation, in order to make their
Peace with the Sublime Porte, but that the Packs
had ordered, that no Negotiation Ihould be en-
tered into. I employed that day and the following
in vifiting the Citadel, the IN of Ito di Gize,
Boulak, and all the other little forts wli;c11 t:n•-
round the city. The Turkifh fo:diers murmared
to fee me vifit their forts, but I feigned not to
hear them, and continued my courfe and my oh
fcrvations.

" On the 29th, in returning to Fort Dnpny, a
foldier menaced me with his attag,an, but as the
inhabitants of the city certified highly their indig-
nation againft him, I did not flop at hi, menaces,
and continued my route. A moment afterwards
MtPIITAPHA Overt, one of the Chiefs of the citY,
paired before me on horfeback. in paling, he
reproached my guides with marching before a
Christian, and above all, before a Frenchman, and
menaced them with the ballinado after my depar-
ture. I could not be filent under fuch an intuit;
land upon my return I fent Citizen Joust RT to the
Pacha, to make my complaint, and demand a
prompt redrefs. I declared to him that I expeeted
this man would come publicly to me to ark my par-
don, place himfif at my difpofal, and implore my
pity. He found that Mu'hapha was greatly pro-
keeled by the Pacha, and wanted to arrange it
lotherwife ; bnt I perfinetl by declaring formally to
!the Pacha, that if this reparation was not made in
the manner in which I had demanded it, I Mould
Mihaly depart, and immediately write to Paris

and Conflantinopie to (late my compl;:int. Thiti
declaration.prodnced all the cR ci which I eypec,
ted ; and Mullapha, alarmed, ctranc on the follow-
ing day to me, conducted by Ro.`etti, and he pub.
licly afked my pardon. and put hitnfelf at my
difpofal. I told him that my fit It intention had
been to cut off his-hcad, and that I orilygave ;Ifni
his life at the thlicitations of the Pacha and M.
Rost yr' ; but if in future he thould ever infult
the French, or thole in their luite, his dearuaion
would be inevitable. This affair, which wens
in-
!Lintly fpread throughthn the whole city, produced
the bell effea. The fame day an attempt was
made to excite the Albancfe againft me. Two
letters from Rofetta written. by Englifhprotegia
affured that there had been leen upon the emits 0?
Natolia, a French fleet of. 300 ftil ; that we were.
marching againft Conflantiimple, and that my
vifit to Egypt had no other objea but to deCeive
them, and blind them to their dongers. I mach•
the merchant come to me who had received the let;
ter : I made him give it me—l inflantly fent it u.

I to me a letter from General STUA!t r, which
jolt received, and to which sea: joined an Order

confider the fpirit of that order, and to jit from
it of our attachment, and of our peace vozh 11:c
Turks. I was indignant to find that a foldier c
one of the moll palite nations of Europe thonii
degrade himfelf lo far as to mitigate aifallin at nn,
by means of filch an infinuarion—the Peach t treat
ed me with the greateit politeneis, and the Englith
at Cairo were witnelfes of the attachment of
that city to the French. I received a deputa!i•iit
from the Monks of Sinai, wham I recommended
to the Pacha : I wrote to their Superior, to tame
them of the friendfhip and protation of the Feitsr
CONSUL. The Monks of tat Propaganda at Cai-
ro, whom I placed under the national prote‘itirin
which they enjoyed before the war, celebrated a
Tr Dann for the profperity of the Flail' Cl/MAUL.
I airliled at this ceremony, at which all the Chili:
tians of Cairo were prefent. The evening bethre
my departure (the ad November), I had another
interview with the Paella, and recommended all
the Chriflians of Cairo to his prone Lion, as well
as the Turks, who during the relidence of the
French in Egypt, were conneßed with them. He
mot only promifed to refpett.them, but even to
treat them with bounty.
" On the 3d, I let out in a coaveyance of the
Pacha's in order to repair to Damietta. The Pacha
ordered me to be cleaned to Boulak, with the
fame honours that I received on the day of my ar-
rival. I had written to Captain Gouitosir, to re-
pair to Damietta with the frigate, in order to con-
vey me to Syria. _ _

On the sth, I flopped a fhnrt time at Sim?.

the Commaneant of the city and the Cheik ETrid-
Mithammed.El.Chenaoni, who came to fee me, as

" I repaired to the houfe of the Commilfary of
the Seven Ines. Very loon after, the Dragoman
of the Pacha, informed of my arrival, came to
condlid me to the Pacha, who received me in an
apartment where he was unattended, and which
was without any other furniture than a carpet.
He had on one fide of him a piftol with four bar-
rels, a (mall ail .gun, a fabre and a hatchet. Af-
ter inquiring as to my health, he afked me, whe-
ther I was not • perfuaded that our end is pre-
ordained in Heaven, and that nothing could
change our delliny ? I anfwered, that I believed
as he did, in predeflination. He continued to
fpeak for fume time on this fubjet. I perceived,
however, that he affeeted a degree of fimplicity,
but that, at the fame time, he wilhed to pals for
a man of wit, as well as for a jult man. Ile re-

"The following is the Apologoe, which he ufed
to demount-ate the caufes of his refinance. ' A
Black Slave,' he laid, ' after a long journey, in
which he had fuffered the greatell privations, ar-
rived at a little field of fugar•cane—he Rapred
therein and indulged himfelf in partaking of the
delicious liquor they afforded, and at length was
determined to remain at the fpot. Very loon after
two travellers, who had followed him, came up.
The fir ft laid to him, Salamallec (the mode of
willing health.) The Devil take it, anfwered the
Black. The fecond traveller then approached, and
inquired why he had anfwered in fuch a wuy to lo
good a with ? I had very good reafons for it, re-
plied he ; if I had anfwered in a friendly manner,
the man would have entered into coilverfationwith
Inc, and afterwards fat down betide me ; he o mkt
have partaken of my refrelhments, and finding
them defirable, would have endeavoured to obtain
esdutive poffelEon.'
44 I recommend to the favourable attention of
I)gezzar the Chrillians and the Convents at Naza-
reth and Jerulalem ; he affuted me that he would
treat them with much regard. I did not forget the
Mutuales, and received the fame affluence in their
behalf. Dgezzar frequently obferved to me, that
his word was with him more facred than treaties.
Our converfation was interrupted for fome moments
by a kind of military mufic, which w-s performed
in a very agreeable fine.
'' His Palace is built with great tafte and ele-
gance ; but in order to get at the apartments, one
:null pars through an infinite number of winding
paffages ; at the bottom of the Raireafe is the
Filen, the door of which is always open from
uoon till evening. As I palled along, I beheld a
crowd of unhappy perfons crammed together there.
In the court yard arc twelve field pieces, with their
ammunition cafes, in good order. I never beheld
a more hideous nor dilgulting fpedacle, than that
which was exhibited by the Minifler of Dgezzar,
whom I met as I was going away. The Pacha had
caufed one of his eyes to be pulled out, and his
ears and nofe to be cut off. I law in the city more
than too perfons in the fame condition. On feeing
the domeflics of Dgezzar, and even the inhabitants
of Acre, a man imagines himfelf in a den of robbers,
who are ready to affalEnate him. That monger
has Ramped the feal of his atrocious charader on
ertry thing that furrounds him.
44 I have fees at Acre the Procurator of the
I loly Land, who is deeply impreffed with grati-
itde towards the FIRST Com itr a, for the protection
he afforded the Monks. He has'affured me, that
my recommendation of them to the FIRST CONSUL
will be very ufeful to them. He lays, that Dgezzar
defires very much to be on good terms with the
i'tasr CoNstre. He behaved very well towards
she crew of a French fhip that had been at Acre,
nefore my arrival.
Dgcsear is in poffellion of all Palefiine, except
!Alfa, where Abonmarak has been befieged thele
live months.
Tripoli is at prefent quiet. This is not the cafe
at Aleppo, whence the Pacha has been expelled.

the P!rte : not only the Pacha of the Divan has
btca fen: away, but the Aga who commanded the
citadel for the Turks, has been delivered up by
his foldierc, and has had his head cut off. This
P.lclialic has remained in the hands of the Ref 1
Abdalla, who is a creature of Dgezzar's;

the latter had jut given him an crier, and the
means to elcort the Pilgrims from Mee,:a. In
a word, ahnoft all Syria is in Dgezzar's power, and
the Ofmanlis are as much detefted there as in
Egypt.
" On the 2 I ft of November I let out from Acre,
and failed for Zante, where I arrived on the 4th
of December. Notwithflanding the order for
quarantine, I obtained permitrion to repair to the
Governor's and the French Commiffary's, efcorted
by a guard of health. I loon learnt that the Ifland
and the Republic were divided into different par-
ties. I canted fome Members of the Conaituted
Authorities, and the principal people of the place,

The Governor and the Ruffian Commandant were
