Monlteur, relative to the army of the eaft ::
On the z3d of September, general Me-
nou writes to the frtt conful, that ieveral
members of the national inititu,e had de-
parted on a iecond journey to Upper Egypt;
they went as far $50 leagues above D. Az
faun, where there are ruins more confidera-
bic than thoie oflThebes and Denders.
Musad Bey procured for the journey all the
republics in his power.
The chambers of the pyramids hitherto
ulvi1ited, and which reach far below thofe
already known, are to be infpeeted, while
others intend to reconnoitre the wet fde of
the Red Sea. The Arabitarmers have ak
ed and obtained perm;f1ion to cultivate the
canton d'Owals. The Nile, which this
year roie higher by Is feet and half than
1t has forithirty -fevcn years, ran even clofe
TO this canton. Menou has recfifcd the
diviions of thoie provinces which inter
iceted each other, and ordained that the
works of the learned be confdered as the
property ofthe public.
1heiame date. 80 The army always con-
hders Buonaparte as It's father. Itwould
go to the end Of the earth for the public
good. A national garden of plants has
been RATED. He requetts to have ient to

and two or three good gardeners, three
or four carts, and ieveral excellent la
bourers.

ION could the government equire more

had the power of enaeting laws to make
his legiilaturc do what Its Hyperion leg:lla-

What the fsveral ftates of the union had
found falusary by practice, to wit, annual
he thought was called loudly
for by this government as the bef poiIible
rule: 'fhis had been always praetiied from
the iirit ehabliihment of the Britifh colo
MES here, and the mode had been practif
ed during the war and until the prefent
momcnt. In one fate indeed the elections
were ismi-annually (eyery fix months and
even there he believed there was ne dilpo
fition to change. He never heard Of
more idlenefs, difipation, or any incon-
venience from that frequency Of election
there than In other places where it annual
sly returned, or than in the one fate where
the Gle tions were biennial. As to thele
powers he acknowledged it was impoAible
TO give them iovereign and complete le-
gilative powers; there mutt be a refpoa-
iibiiity, but twas by no means 70 minute
a body, nor 70 confined in It's fphere, as
had been reprefented. However, he was
pifpofed to afford them as much as pof1i-
bic, and he had no doubt but they would
nc it to the advantage Of the diltriet-
but as they were not come to that part of
thebiil which Designated the powers, he
fhould forbear at preient any further obicr-

General Lee believed that the farther

Iiblc means could the enemies Of this bill
more efettrally gain their ends than by
eliminating it TO the contribution, and
thcreforei it becomes its friends to follow
as clole as poRible that mott invaluable
pattern.
Someof the many reafons which aeuat-
ed the committee had been given to the
view of the houfe, but one very important
