TIA, ibis paa lflouid come 10 me fabhcly
to deaard pardon,plaee h'lnisH at my Sh

that Muasplla vas strongly protected oy

large The matter otbesNi.e but lnllaed,
declaring formally TO the l'acha that !; tins
RESPIRATION was not made in the manner
il which I had determined 1t, | lhould
depart Immediately and write 70 Paris and
Cooaaniinople 10 complain. This dee,a

/" TIE an,e day an attempt was MADE
to excite the Albaniaas 10 mobbah ID
fusreti;on sgsiaa me. Two letters from
RoGet.a, written by perfons under the pro
teesion Of the Englial, affirmed, 'haa
French fleet of 500 fAil had been deferred
from the COATS Of Natolla; that we were
marching againa Conaan;inoPle ard
tfxt the only intention Of my fay il E
qypt was to deceive them IN regard to
the dangers with which they were NE
naeed. I tnt FOR The merchant who had
received his letter. I reqaeAcd him TO
deliver il TO me. lIe complied. | lent
,lla, ipaant to the Pacta, 20 fay, thar
news abfurdly falfe, were propagsted IL
order 70 excite diforders, and 10 produce
,I;ilcn,ion between France and the Porte:
but hat, on nv life, | could affirm them
to be fllfe.
IS The Pacha wa. aware Of the trick,
and was not DIPPED by it. He even Conf
lnaaicated TO me letter he had received
from Gen. Stusrr. and TO which was fob
ioined the Firf Conful's order Of the day,
Al the time when he had the command Of
the Army Of the EAT. That order OF the
day was for Fruaidor, in The I'm year OF
the cxi4ence Of the Republic. I;remind-
ed the Egyptians thar Conaan'inoPle was
tributary to Amhia, and that the time
was arrived at which TO reaore ITO the
Eat its sncien, afcendency, C TO defToy
he Empire Of til. OfmanIjs in the Eaf.
Gen. Stuart reqae9ed the Pacha to conf
der the true import of that order, and
from it 20 judge OF the hncerity OF
our projections, and Of our peace with tie
Turks.
/" I could nor, without indignatlcn,
Zee a military man belonging to one OF the
mott enlightened and polifhed nations II
Europe, thus debate hin(elf to provoke
anaflinations 70 difhonorable. Re failed
OF his aim. The Pacha, TO The very mo,
mart of my departure, treated me with the
molf aat,eriog k;ndnefs. The Engliih
Commifl,asy ar Cairo, wifrehed the attach
ment of the inhabitants Of that city TO the
French.
g The two perfous who have now the
erea,ee influence with the Paeha are Ro-
fet,e and sMaharouki. They both hate
France, and are mutually hottie to each
other; Rolette is generally believed to
have betrayed the BeJs, and to be at pre-
fent Gncerely in the intcrefs,of the OF
