Citizen Minifter, ,
I have the honor to tranfmic
to you the different accounts,
which I was able to procure dur
ing my ftay in the bay of Abou
kir, concerning the events pall
ed in Egypt, from the .Bth of
March or the 17th Vcntoie, the
time the Englilh die died their
landing.
They effected their landing
on the plain of Aboukir, with
about fix or feven thoufand
men, notwlthftanding the rc.fif
tance made by general Fraint
with about 1500 infantry, and
150 horfe; took, pofleinon uT
the grand fand mountain, and en
camped there the fame night.
We loft in the battle, the ad
jutant commandant Martinet,
who was killed in charging with
die cavalry.... It was believed
that the enemy loft this day, from
two to three hundred men kill
ed and five hundred wounded, .
- On the 18th the enemy con
tinued to land, and by evening,
there were twelve thouland men
landed. On the 19th and 20th,
the enemy advanced very near
to the Fort Aboukir i and was
employed in reconnoitering.
On the 21 ft general Lam IE ar
rived with his divhlon.
The fame day the enemy
made an advance, upon which
it was prefumed that they would
attack us the next day—to pre
vent which, early, on the morn
of the 22d, we marched ,to at
tack them ; we found them alb)
marching; the encounter was
terrible, the battle continued all
day with fury. The Englifh’
made great exertions to force
our left, but they found they
were fo well oppofed, that they
gave it up, the night arrived
without gaining any decided ad
vantage.
