Of Buonarartc and Egypt

rARI3, JAN. g.,
TWO Tufcan tartans hav. arrived at Leg
horn, from Alexandria, in Egypt, The dates
of their lAa accounts are 10 Nov. 10th. Tne
following is a c~py Of a letter from Lieet Of
the French Marine Artillery, dated at Fort Gu
Fare, .4hxaaA:1, Nov Seh, I19S-" WE have
received intelligence, that the inhabitants of
Cairo, and vitini,y, inGigatcd by Englih EMF
faries, have fen in arms agafnt our troops -
who were necclilted to fr- on the inlurgents,
and to deltroy near far tboyland Of them -
thar the reGdue had reformed to order, and had
lurrendered themCe!vcs to Buonaparte, in per
lon. After the tiurre6ion was aiayed, con-
t,TJutior ej' tcro mAlgns was levied on The iAhab-
itants."
This letter inconteaibly proves the fa,fhood
of the accounts of Buonapart's death, and of
his reputed i'll lucceAes, but il eltabllhes the
fa6s Of he inlurrettion at Cairo-of the lcenes
of blood ard carnage conlequent thereon and
that the iutrigues Of The Englih are not con6n-
ed TO Europe.
We further learn from Egypt, that the Divan,
afembIed at Cairo, by Buonaparte, had not
anfwered bis expectation. The relult of its de-
liber2tions, was that all iHn0Vaiion was contrary
to the Aeoran and that the AtOyGn had fore
feen every thing. At tbe breaking up of this
Turkih Convention, the Polith General Su,k.
owfxi, one oftke brlna;ba! AiAJ-dssamb of BuOna

OgQy GffUded bimlfH fN a (acrifce 10 their tury.-
Gen. DuPuis, informed, that at the inftigation
of their JEALOUS and ferocioUs prieits number
Of armed Mulelmen, threatened 70 ahdilinate
the LsQitate, "a fociety Of learned men, afem-
bl=d at Cairo) 9vd5 ta4rAredL1 The az Of gf5rding
them a1f9ancs. Cen. Buonaparte Immediately
aGem6led his forces, beat the gererak, and or.
dered in a detachment Of Coco men, who had
been Rationed at dtance. A horrible earn
age was made amongf the afadins. Fifteen
Hundred Of them took refuge in a mofpue. No
quarter 70 a1alIn5, was the word and they all
perilhcd by The lword. Il is added Buona-
parte has been obliged to ihut himlelt up in his
encampment."
TIE tol07viag has Jrrn receiUed from C0gRsatigo-
pie, dated cd December, Viz.-
"The Porte has ivi communicated to the
Foreign MiniRers the latet news it has receiv-
ed from Aboukir in fubfance, AS follows -
The French fort at Aboukir, which was fuinih
ed with numerous artillery, was attacked by
a number Of Turklh gun boats, ordered againh
it, by Commodore Hood, who commands the
blockade Of .4le1andria After vigorous
defence, the French were driven out. Com
mod0re Hood Immediately took petition Of,
and garriloned the fort with fame ihoufand
troops.fent him BY the P4cha Of Rhodes Thelc
troops, after having forced The French il the
neiqhbourhood to retreat, have cut off all cCm-
munication between Alexandria, Roietta, and
Cairo. BY this means the i,uItion cf Buona
parte has been rendered more critical Ii has
been uectGAry for HIM to take Po.ition nearer
Alexandria, on account Of the farlity Of FRO
viGons and ammunition, which he begins to ex-
Perience,in couiequercc Of the continued attack
Of the Arabs"
The Gan total of this Intelligence is--IR.-
That there has been bloody nlurre8ion At
Csiro, againR the French. I'd. That Buona.
parte was not killed IN the revolt but g..
That he has been obliged to ev4cuate Cairo, and
fhut Limlclt up in bis fortified camp at fome dir
tance.
