Augujl 20.^* WITHIN these few days a proclamation has been made public, which Buonaparte issued In the Ar abic language, on his landing in Egypt. Ihe following is a faithful tranflaticn of it: “ In the name of God, gracious and merciful. There is no God but God; he has no son nor aff.uate in his king dom. “ The present moment, which is destined for the punifti ment of the Beys, has been long anxioully expeded* “The’ Beys, coming from the mountains of Georgia and Bajars, have deibla'.ed this beautiful country, long insulted and treated with contempt the French-nation, and oppressed her merchants in various ways. Buonaparte, the General of the French Republic, according to the principles of liberty, is now arrived, and the Almighty, the Lord of both worlds, has sealed the deftru&ion of the Beys. “ Inhabitants *f Egypt, when the Beys tell you that the French are come to destroy your Religion believe them not: it is an absolute falfehood. Answer those deceivers, that they are only come to relcue the rights rif the poor from the hands of their tyrants, and that the French adore the Supreme Being, and honor the Prophet and his Holj Koran. “ All men are equal in the eyes of God. Understand ing, ingenuity, and icience, alone, make a difference be tween them: as the Beys, therefore, do not possess any of these qualities, they cannot be worthy to govern the country. “ Yet are they the only pofitffors of extenfiye trails of land, beautiful female slaves, excellent horses, magnificent palaces! Have they then received an exclusive privilege from the Almighty? If so, let them produce it. But the Supreme Being, who is just and merciful towards all man kind, wills that, in future, none of the inhabitants of Egypt (hall be prevented from attaining to the firft employments, and the highest honors. The Adminiftratien, which (Hall be conducted byperfons of intelligence, talents, and fore fight, will be productive of happiness and security; the ty ranny and avarice of the Beys have laid waste Egypt, which was formerly so populous and well cultivated. “ The French are true Mussulmen. Not long fii.ee ti ey marched to Rome, and overthrew the throne of the Pope, who excited the Chriltians against ,he p ofeffors of Iliam (the Mahometan Religion;) afterwards they direct ed their courle to Malta, amt drove out the unbelievers, who imagined they were 1 appointed by God to make war on the Muffulmen. The French have at all times been the true and sincere friends of the Ottoman Emperors, and the enemies of their enemies. May the empire of the Sultan, therefore, be eternal; but may the Beys of Egypt, our oppofers, whole infatiuble avarice has continually excited dilobedience and inlubordlnation, be trodden in the dull and annihilated. “ Our friendftiip (hall be extended to those of tlie inha bitants of Egypt who ftiall join us, as also to those who fiiali remain in their dwellings and oblcrve a ftriCl neutra lity, and when they have fetn our condsfl with their own eyes hasten to submit to us; but the dreadful puniMiment of death awaits .those who R.a!l take up arms for tlie Beys and against us; for them there (hall be no deliverance, nor fl.al! any trace of them remain. “ Article 1. All places which (hall lie three leagues distant from the route of the French army ftiall fend one of their principal inhabitants to tlie General to declare that they submit, and will hoist the French flag, which is blue, white, and red. “ 2. Every village which (hall oppose the French army shall be burned tot e ground. “ 3. Every village which ftiall submit to the French (hall hoist the French flag, and ti at of the Sublime Porte, their ally, whose duration be eternal. “ 4. The Sheiks and principal persons of each town and village (hall seal up the houses and effects of the Beys, and. take care that net the smallest article (hall be loft. “ 5. The Sheiks, Cadis, and Imans, (hail continue to exercifc their refpeClive functions; and put up their pray ers, and perform the exerelies of religious worship, in the mosques and houses of prayer. All the inhabitants of E gypt (ball offer up thanks to the Supreme Being, and put up public prayers for the ueftruiftion of the Beys.- , “ May the Supreme Gocl make the glory of the Sultan of the Ottoman eternal, pour forth his wrath on the Ma malouks, and render gloriole the destiny of tlie Egyptian nation. Buonaparte/’ Dublin, September 27. Government leave of departure to such of the state prisoners as intend to go direct to America; but those who wifli to continue in Eu rojx; are, it is said, to remain prisoners during the war. September 28. Scarce a night passes but we hear of houses being burnt and (hocking mujders committed. Ninety-seven prilonej-s, tied two and two, were this day marched from the Barrack, escorted by a strong guard, to the Pigeonhoufe, where they were put on board ibme of the receiving (hips. They were a very wretched looking set of men, one half without shoes or (lockings, and tlie other half without hats or coats; many of them scarcely ab.e to walk from fatigue and ‘pparent ficknefV, being marched into town from a distant part of the country a few anda )' s a g°. Tlieir miserable and the goading oi the soldiery to make them go on, had a striking icfem biance to the debarkation, of tlie Negro ilaves who air. brought down sometimes from the interior of Africa to be put on board Have ftlips for the Weft Indies. Good God! when will the dreadful system of hanging,’ (hooting, and trail(jxwting, cealc, in this ill fated country. KINGSTON, Cjamaic. J November" 2. BY the arrival of the sloop Happy Return, Capt. Ed wards, at lllack River, from the Bay of Honduras, we have the agreeable inforinatiou of the failure of the Spanifli expedition agaiidl that fettiement.
