A moll grievous and a moil infolent complaint is
made of General STUART. At the moment when
SELASTIANI was cajoling the PAC NA of CAIRO
with profeflions of attachment to the Porte, it is
Rated that a letter rame from General STUART,
inclnfing a copy of General Orders iffued by Bo-
N APAR T h in 1799, in which he endeavours to thew
the people of Egypt that they ought to pay no
obedience whatever to the Porte. The purport off
this letter, which appears to have been meant as
an anfwer to the cajoleries of BONAPARTE in 1802,,
is, with an impudence of mifreprefentation which
dcferves to be ranked with the groffell (peeks crf-
lying, called " incitement to afraffination !" What!
was it inthetnent to 4.2inati.,n, to warn the Turks
againfl the artifices of a rerfon obvioufly fent as a
political agent and fpy ?—What does the writer of
the Nonitrur confider to be affaffinathin ? We fee
no allufion either to Reel or poifon in the quer-lion,
nor is there the leaft evidence that the office of
poifoner was propofed to any phyfician whatever.
Indeed, nothing can be more petulant than the
infinuation.

Notwithtlanding the praires of BONAPARTE, fo
liberally put into the mouth of the poor Cheiks, it
appears pretty evident that the Frenchhave few par-
tizans in Egypt, divided as it is between the Turks
and the Bcys. On fome occafions, particularly at
Cairo, the fpy complains of having been infulted.
After quitting Egypt he went to Acre, and a long
and a curious account is given of his converfations
with Dgezzar Paella, who is faid to be very defir•
ous to live on good terms with BONAPARTE, and
(lands greatly in awe of him. Leaving Acre, he
went to Zante, and interpofed BONAPAIM'S re-
commendation to the people to drop their animo-
(hies and live in quiet. He concludes with a re-
markable affertion, that all the lonian Wands
would become French whenever the French Go-
vernment pleated. This is a hint which we hope
will be attended to.

A letter from Vienna, dated t 3th January, con-
tains the following paragraph : It appears cer-
tain, that the Engin have no thoughts of eva-
cuating Egypt. The Brothers, BETHMAN, of
Frankfort, have jull fent confiderabl.: fums to Mr.
ARTHUR PAGET, the Englifh Minifter here, who
has futthered them to Conflantinople, to be em-
ployed in paying the Engin army in Egypt."
