' , "• The French transports ran into the Nile, and Buonaparte landed with ouly a few day 3 provisions on hand, with about thirty eight 1 thousand men, two thousand having betn r cut to pieces on attempt,to laud at Alexan- 3 , dria, wtiere they expe&ec a paflive reception. f ! The lall dispatches Itate, that the only sup. j j plies Buonaparte could get were a little rice . and water, brought to him on camels by the . I Arabs, but that the Turks were taking mea- 1 . fures, not only to cut off this fcccour, but v , to march againlt htm. 3 'I he crew of the Timeleon, when the ship v took fire, attempted to save themselves on v | fiiore, but were all cut to pieces. The ! L'Orient's people were in part, destroyed in the fame manner, and blown up, only a 1 few escaped, prahaps into the woods te v starve. r i The Ftench fleet, at the time of the e action, had only five days proviiion on 1 board. ' _ f [We further learn by Mr. Yates who ji j came paflenger in the America, and ,who 1 wa# favored by Admiral Jervis {limfelf with ' the official particulars above related, that none of the transports were destroyed, hav- a ing probably run up the bay of Rofetta in- c to shallow water, and that nothing certain " had transpired to unravel the fnture projefts of Buoiuiparte, whether h? meant to fettle down in Egypt, or whether he call his wish.
