PRODUCES the following facts, which
were publiihed in England, ihortlv
after the return of Bonaparte from
his Egyptian tour, and to this day
remain uncontraditted -
/" When Bonaparte was on his
Egyptian tour, he progrefed in his
travels as far as the town Of afa, in
ancient Paleitipe. This town he
formed and took, and after consder-
able laughter, body of Turks to
the number of 3sos, who had fed to
the Mcfques for iecurity, furrendcr-
ed priloaers. Finding himfelf en-
cumtered with the care and fupport
of fuch body Of men, after three
days, Donapartc ordered them to
march to riiing ground near Jafa,
where a divilion of French troops
were drawn up. AS foon ss the
Turks had reached the fpot, a fgnal
was given, when the French troops
fired upon theCe uafufpeaing wretch.
IS, and by the mufquetry and grape,
and the application Of the bayonct,
to few who we're wounded but not
killed by the firing, every man of
them was butchercd. To the honor
of Gen. Kleber who was prefent, it
ought to be mentioned, that he ftrcn-
uouhy remonltrated sgainlt this hor-
rid tran(attion, but without any ef-
feet. Bonaparte's humanity in cold
blood, butchered every man of thefe
unarned captives, rather than to be
at the trouble to iupport them, or to
excrcife generofity enough to difmifs
them.

an energetick administration. One totally
destitute of all respect for publick law,
and for neutral rights. Destitute of all the
scruplcs and obligations of justice. l
propose to give short sketch OF the his
tory of this energetick administration:
lst. AS its operations have affected
other nations :
2dly. AS they have affected the United
States.
Let us see the consequences which
have resulted, and which are likely to re-
suit from this energy, originating in folly
and in pride. Stimulated to its ends in
utter disregard of every principle OF JUS
ticc and of publick law, and directed to
unattainable objects. Permit me, sir, III
this exposition to pay some attention TO
dates. They will serve to illustrate some
of my ideas. The change of ministry
took place either in the month OF Janna-
nv or February, 1907. Preparations for
executing this lawless system OF energy
were made with great activity, and nthe
month of August following, they were
made to burst upon the head OF an un-
suspec,ing and unofending friend.
