ARMY OF EGYPT.
Advices from Conftantinople
dated the 24th Florcal, (April
14] (late that a Britiffi fquadron
hadappeared before Alexandria,
the commander of which de
clared that he had orders to
Hop all vcffcls that might iffue
from that port.
Yefterdaythe Spanifh ambaf
fador communicated officially
to government a difpatch he had
juft received from Vienna. The
fubjetl of it was, that the diffi
culties darted by the allies to the
execution of the convention of
the Brh Pluvoife, had obliged
the army of Egypt to purfue a
conduft analogous to circum
ftances.
The Ottoman' Porte ought to
have congratulated itfelf on the
treaty of Egypt; by this treaty
the invafion of the French had
turned out advantageous to the
Sultan. We had fubdued for
him the Mamelukes; we had
recovered for him an important
part of his dates, where his au
thority had long been difowned.
The obftacles which the Fn
glidi oppofed to the execution
of the capitulation, could not
but be likely to become fatal to
the Turkiffi Empire,
Kleber has already beat the
army of the Grand Vizier, who
wiftifd to take polTeflion of
Cairo, before he had furuiffied
the French army with the ftipu
lated paffports ; and if we take
a view of the prefent date of
Turkey, and the different cir
cumliauces which have attend
ed the expedition to Egypt, we
ffall be lei’s alarmed for the fitu
ation of the French in that coun
try.

refufed to join the Grand Vizier,
and feemed rather difpolcd to
a£l againft him than to obey his
orders.—He had Ggnifrcd to
him that he mud take another
route than that of St. John of
Acre, and the Vizier did not
dilpute thofe orders from this
fubaltern. Dgezzar had like
wife fent him his refignation of
the Bachalic of Damafcus. and
forbidden all the diftribls fub
je£l to his authority to furnifh
provifions to his army. The
imperial army, eftimated at
36 000 men, was incumbered
with a third more of feivants or
women, who could not crofs the
defart but by tranfportirg water,
provifions, and fodder, on ca
mels, to flarve and annihilate the
army.
Ten thoufand men would
have cut to pieces the Ottoman
troops, the difcipline of which
was wirtchcd beyond all defenp
tioh—there not being in it a
fingk corps capable ofmarae
uvring nor a 'f uikidi officer
who had the lead notion of the
mod common military evolu
tions.
Such are adverfaries with
whom general Richer will have
to contend. It is probable that
he will execute what Buona
pme Teems to have projected.
If the latter had taken St. John
of Acre, and the treafures of
Dgezzar, it would have been
eafy for him to induce all the
people of Lebanon to rife in his
favour, as well as all the Afiatic
provinces, ana to carry his vic
torious arms to Conftantinoplc.

General Melas , on fummoning Maf

Genoa , wrote to him in the fol
lowing terms:
4i General,
“ Fortune has not crowned
your bravery, which entitles you
to my edeem, and to that of the
whole world. With but a (mail
number of men, you was forced
to give way to my exertions,
and you did it with honor. But
I think it time to liften to the
voire of humanity. General
*>uchct has yefterday been de
feated at St. Giacomo, and you
have no longer any hopes to
refill my forces. You will be
accountable for the blood that
ffiall be fpilt hereafter, and you
wid complete the miferies of a
people who have already differ
ed lo much.
“ Ihe city is expofed to the
greated calamities ; it is menaced
by pillage and all the horrors of
war, if the country people diould
enter it with fury m their heart,
without a capitulation having
previouftv been concluded. I
cannot entirely anfwci fo. my
vi6loi>ibus troops. Liften to
the voicr of humanity, and fa
crafice the glory of having de
fended youTelf to the la(t drop
of blood, to the true rlory and
