The Turkish Ambassador lids received dis patches from Gonßantinople bv an extraordinary courier, v* liich mention, tiiat the treaty of alliance is figiied lietween England, Russia, and the Porte; Immediately the report was Ipread that the situation of Buonaparte would induct him to capitulate; but it appeal's that alt these reports were fabricated* The courier brought no account relative to Buonaparte, but merely dilpatches relpetting the treaty of friemllliip and alliance wliich the Sublime Porte was dilpofed to form between RuiTia and other powers. It is certain that Buonaparte, a few days aft, r the defeat of the French fleet, sent dilpatches to tlie Directoryy and informed it of the Rate of his army, which had fudered very much from the climate and bad weather. He requtfts the Diretflorv to feud him, with die greatefl expedition, a reinforcement of a large body of troops; and to fend but the second dirifion of the Toulon fleet, to place Admiral Brutys in such a fitu* ation that lie may have no reason to fear the Englifli fleet.
