Tbe most important of these Letters have been published in this and other Ga zettes.'] THE correspondence, of which tfje following letters make a part, have been in tercepted at different periods, kjr the Turkish and Englifti ships of war. It cemfiffs of of ficial and private letters, vMiofe contents, pt rtiaps tike those of a thousand others, which have at various times Alien into the hands of our cruisers, would have remained a se cret to al 1 but government, had not the French, by holding out, firft, a falfe account of the motive of this famous expedition, and then, by spreading the mod absurd find exaggerated accounts of itsfuccefs ; render ed it neceflary to undeceive Europe, (still tremblng at the tale) by proving from their own statements, that what began in wicked ness and fraud, was likely to terminate in wretchedneCs and despair. The publication being thus determined up on, the next step was to make furh a Selec tion from the volnmnious correspondence in the hands of government, as without grati fying an idle curiosity, or indulging a pruri ent inclination for scandal and intrigue, Ihould yet leave nothing to be desired with refpeft to the real situation of the army in Egypt ; its views and fuccefles, its tniferies and disappointments. For this purpose, eve ry thing tfe'at was not illustrative of one or the other of those obje&s was suppressed : all private letters, unless intimately conneft ed with the end in view, were pafied over, and even those of Buonaparte (which have been so (liaoiefully misrepresented, and com mented upon by those fervid champions of decency, the opposition writers*) though not ft ri kingly and absolutely private, yet con taining nothing that could materially inter est or inform the public, were laid aside with the reft. We truftthatwe have not admit ted any thing that can raise a blush on the cheek of our readers, either for themselves or for us. We might here close our rntroduftion, but as the Egyptian expedition has awakened curiosity, and been the theme of much won der, and applause, and error, and misrepre sentation ; we do not think we shall render an unexceptionable service to the reader, by enlarging a little on the fubjeft. The French have long turned their eves towards Egypt. The sanguine disposition of their consuls in the Levant, had ministered with admirable effeft, to the credulity and avarice, and ambition, of this restless nation, by a flaring them that Egypt was the paradise of the east, .the key of the treasures of. the- Indies ; easy to be seized, and ftillmoreea fy to be kept ! There was not a Frenchman under the old regimen, who was not fully persuaded of the truth of all this; and cer tainly they have loft nothing of their ambi tion, their avarce, and their credulity under the new. What plans the monarchy might have de vised for gaining pofleffion of this " Para dise," we know noti It could not hope-to eileft it by force. But the present rulers of France, who have trampled on the powers of the continent too long, and with too much impunity, to think it necessary to manage them now, coulS have no apprehensions of refinance to their measures, and were not likely to be scrupulous in the choice of means to effeft whatever purpose they had in view. ' Egypt'however, though said "and believed to be a rich country, promised no immediate supplies of plunder; and the projeft for seizing it would flill have remained in tl.e port folio of Talleyrand, had not a circum ftancrf happened that made its" speedy adop tion a measure of neceflity. Every one knows that the diredtory'long since engaged to make a free gift to the ar my, of a thousand million* of livres, at the conclusion of a general peace. This en gagement, like many others, itfeemed to have forgotten, till the necessity of attach ing the troops to their interefti, and thus enabling them to perfect the revolution of the 18th Fruftidor, made it neceflary for the Triumvirate to renew their promise, and to revive the languid expeftations of the army. The following paragraphs are taken from the Morning Chronicle. We might have pro duced a hundred more of the fame kind, but these we think will be fufficient to convince the reader of the, » fuptnor delicacy" of that paper. When he has confidertd them well, he will net be difinclmed, perhaps, to felicitate the French ladies, on the letters of their lovers and friend, having luckily escaped such, « delicate," and honourable hands ! < It it not very creditable to the genernfUy of office, that the private letters from Buonapar te and h» army to their friends in France which were intercepted, fhoulcl be pubjilhed' It derogates from the charadler of a nation tot» c . fcend to fucb goffipi'ng. One of these letter, is from Buonaparte to his brother, complaining of the profligacy of his wife; another from Beau harnoif, exprefling his hopes that hi. dear Mam ma i> not so wicked as (he is represented ! Such are the precious secrets which te breed mifthicf in private families, is to be publifted in French and English 1" AVr. 14 . " Alter the public have been so long agitated with anxiety and fpeculati n refpefling Buona parte and this expedition,they area length to be gratified w.th the Itandal and intrigue of which the private letters from the genera] and his offi cers are full." Acv.is. " The private correspondence of Buona forte's officers is a curious fpccimen of public intelligence. It reminds bs of the weak and impolitic ininlfiry who persecuted Wilkes. VVhen their fund of malice was neaily exhauff td, they gave out that he had written *n inde cent pmm, *h'ch certainly has as much to d> with the qneflion of general warrants as Ma -lame Buonaparte's chafiity has to do with her huftand's expedition through Egypt !" co3t Kofi* Ci-ntr <ute.l move to .the this fatil dnv than the arwy nv'italv, wftkh to th- eternal dif'xiM'''* of Bu..nap*rce, -was permitted to overawe the councils, and to allum.' to ■ itfelf the whole power ot the state. Such a Service could not be overlooked : their claim to a portion ot the milliard be came doubly v;i!id, and as the war in Italy wis now supposed to beat an end, thoidands of them returned to France to t lain it. - Here began the difficulties of the directo ry. They had nomoney ; but it was not expedient *.o confefs it : and the expedition to Egypt thereforE-, brought forward, as an exceHrnf txpeciient for quieting the pie fent clirrior, and providing for forty thou faud veteran troops, inured to plunder, and impatient of control ; who were too fentj bk of their in/rits" to b; qiiuViy laid slide ; and too urgent i:s their dcm.UiJs to be ca joled with empty proimfes Hence arose the expedition to Egypt. The plundei (>1" the Venetian docks and aije nals, had fortunately fnrnifhed them with a vast quantity of naval (lores, and with ft vend ships of the- line, frigates, See. With the former', they fitted out the veiTels in the pert of Toulon ; and they colle&edtranfports from every qjarter. While '.lirfe prepara tions were'going on, the cupidity and ardor of the troops Were artfully inflamed by am biguous hints of an expedition that was to eclipse, in immediate advantage,-the boast ed Conquests of Cortes and Pizarro. To promote the farce (for such we are per suaded it wAi) artists if all kinds, chyraifts } botanifts,men.l>ers of tlie pyrotechnical school in pradigious numbers, and we know not what quantities of people calling themselves Savans, were collected from every part of France, and driven to Toulon in flioals— When all these were lafely embarked, Buo naparte assembled the Italian army (amount ing to 22,000 men) and after gravely prom iiingthem on his honor, which he observed had ever been sacred, that they should each receive 011 their return, money enough to pnrchafe fix acres and a half of good land, took them on board, and tranquilly proceed ed to bury them all in Egypt. On his roue the collected near twenty thou sand more of the army of Italy—sturdy beg gars, who might have disquieted the direc tory if they had been fuffered to remain in Europe, and who will now contribute with their fortu :.«te comrades to fatten the vul tures of Grand Cairo. We shall not Hop to notice the capture, as it is called, of Malta,f nor the various gam bols that were played by this unwieldy ar mament in the Mediterranean, but having conducted it in fafety to Alexandria, return to make a few miscellaneous observations on its outset, supposed detonation, See. 7he firft cirtnjiiftance that strikes lis is the extreme ignorance of the French, with regard to the country they were going to de solate and destroy. They hati iiad connex ions with its ports for ages, and yet they appear to have known no more of its inte rior, than the inhabitants of the This want cis knowledge was universal—tronytjie commander in chief \ to*the meanest soldier iivthe-army, all. was darknels, and blind con fidence in the Blinsert ,Qf guides.! The ;l Savans" were not a whit better in formed than the reft—like Phaeton, " They t,op d peihapj, to rrcetwich woo'ts " And ftattly fanes, and cities fill'd with gods s" and like him too we imagine, they have found a general .conflagration, and a river 1 Now we have mentioned tl efe men, it may not b# a roifs to enquire into the l'er vices the general literature of Europe is like ly to derive from their exertions ; services, be it remembered, for which the direftory, who forced them on board, have c'.ready re ceived the felicitation of all- the 44 friends of liberty." _ The inquiry will be short, All the men tion we find of thejn, from the hour of their embarkation to the. present, is contained in Berthier's letter to'the consuls of the Roman republic. " The Savons Monge, Bertolet, Boufienne, &c." favs he, " fought with the gneateft Courage ; they did not quit the ge neral's fide during any part of the action, and they proved by thier exertions, that in combatting the enemies of their countryi every Frenchmen is a soldier." &c. Thus we find that the/' enlightened ge niufies of the eighteenth century," who were to perplex the conftrufticn of the Pyramids, to dire into the Cataeomb»,to wind through the mazes of the sacred lafcyrinth, to dig up the mystic volumes of Hermps, and, in a word, to roam jf with free foot" from the catarafts to the seven mouths of the Nile : were become mere men of blood, obliged to cling to the troops for protection and unable to advance a single step to the right or left, beyond ihe reach of the mufquetry or cannon of the army! But the imbecility displayed in the outset of this strange expedition, is not more ex traordinary than the obstinacy with which it has been held up to the admiration of Eu roPe* Either ignorance, or fear, or jaco biniim, has been always at hand—to fugged a greatnels of plan, there was little, in fa&, but blind hazard—to Whisper a combi nation of means amidst the want of every thing, and to promise infallible success to men whose every ftcp was attended with de-' ftruAion and despair ! t T . h " " ent had bec " feeur«d before Buona- Tn b y thc of Poufficlgu* thrfe haw since been laid open by the Bailli 1 e.gme, and others ; and"made tht fuh. jefl of a formal acufation against tha Grand Mat ter Hompcfch, by the knight, who have taken re fuse in Germany, Ruflia,&c. t tn a lerter si Buonaparte's to the D'irc&ory, dated July 6th,he fay,, •• this country is any flfij,, but what travellers and story-tellers represent it to § The cant of the French i, even ni..re fliockbe than their enormities.

While the <rmy was yet on it* way t<s tW place of its detonation, the old plans of the French government were in every mouth ; and the wisdom was loudfy ipplauded wiiich was to attach the Bey.; so the litvadej-, crulft t.e dominion of the Porte, ajicf Secure the c untry for ever to the " Great Nation." Buonaparte arrives, and reverfei the whole fcheine. The beys are now to be cruliied, because they alone have the power to refill: r and the Sovere : gnty of C'lnftantinople is to be upheld, because it is infufticient. The applause was louder than before : " bitter and better ftijl" the Sag'acious discover ers of deep tlefign 111 all the bedlam tricks ot France ; " tfhat country will gain more this way than t'other* —'Vive la Republic !" Again, when it was found that tin impret fions but those of hatred and hoilility, were made on tlic natives of Egypt, and that the coiHjreror bar. !v held t-hc JpVrn .iti, ,-.n which hi o ' army halted, we were Suddenly made ac quainted with another and a greater fehem? ; which We were ferjoufly a flu red was tlte only genuine one, and which could not fiil of success ! What was not done in, Egypt, might be done in Persia. The inhabitants of the Southern coasts of that country were op portunely discovered to have the primitive religion of the Arab?, before it was infeft ed with Mahometanifm ; and with them, " through the means of their venerable pa triarch," Buonaparte, it.was known, had long since been in correspondence, The clue of the mighty maze which had so much puz zled mankind, was at length discovered ! A-1 rabia was to be restored to liberty and hap piness, by the arms of France, sifting on one fide of it, and by theSe innumerable and faithful auxiliaries, one the other. The reft was plain enough. Arabia being once or ganized and in poiTeffion of a directory and two councils, a free paflage to India was af forded, of course, through Mekran, the region of friends and philosophers, and the " tyrant of the sea," driven with dilgrace from Calcutta, It would be fuperflous to fend our readers to any author of credit, for a refutation of all this absurdity ; which yet ha's been dwelt 011, by the friends of France, with compla cency and delight—but if they fliould hap pen to look into Neighbur, they will find, that there are really some wild Arabs, a poor, and miserable, and half naked people, who wander Bp and down thp coasts o't Arabia Proper, and live 011 putrid filh ! Tliefe [ctyo pharyi are the enlightened savages who, in conjun&ion with Buonaparte, are to diffufe the knowledge of liberty and virtue through the eallern world ! But it is not orily the profundity of the general's plans of conqnefl, that is so highly and so juflly celebrated,his capacity of legis lating for the countries he subdues, receives an equal lhare of applause ; and his admirers would think they, infill ted his reputation, if they forbore to mention, that he added the political sagacity of Solon, to the military fvience of Alexander. The reader will find (No. X) a letter from Buonaparte, containing, what he calls, his " Provilional Orp;ani.zat<pli of Egypt if he will look carefully into this, and in ano ther curious paper, (appendix No. VTII) he will be inclined, we think, to abate foniething of his admiration for thin new Solon. The tenacioufnefs of the eastern people for their customs is proverbially great ; yet they are to change them at a word ; the fim phciiy and invariable uniformity of their diets is no leis striking ; ages pass away,and find it still the fame ; yet th#y are now.in obedience to they know not what orders, to trick thewfrlves suddenly out in tri-colourrd fiatvls and fcarfs. and ribbands, like the taw dry J.ick Puddings of the Executive Direc toiy. All the complicated relations which bind, tlic iociety among which the general is thrown, are either unknown or unheeded by him ; one or two general and barren provisi ons are made to represent all those m ral hafeits and local regulations which, with an infinite variety, distinguished the former go vernment of this people. But a remedy is at hand : if his laws will not do of themselves, force will speedily make them effedtual.—The military, ynder the command of a French officer, are. directed to be called in on every occasion (p 71) ; this is the grand fpecific for all ! after a difgrace ful and futile attempt at civil wisdom, the whole is resolved into violence, and the code of the legislature is thru ft down the throats of the people by the bayonet of the con queror ! , But what could be expe&ed from a man who had already betrayed his incapacity in similar attenipfs in Europe? Let his'ftu pid admirers (for we mull now be serious,) lt-t his stupid admirers call to mind his Ita lian " organization'' (the worthy prototype of his Egyptian one) lepeatedly changed by himfelf, and the instant he was out-of light difdainfully changed by others. There too was the fame poverty of conception. From his travelling cloak-bag, he privately drew ont the model of all legislation—the consti tution of 1795. This was copied for great and lmall, and applied in all fituaaioris, and to every people! Antiquity knew nothing of this 1 weeping mode of legiflntioti ; they shewed a condescension to th£ differ.nt cus toms and prejudices of thoffi who fell under their management ; and a cluster of small and contiguous powers were judiciously and humanely indulged with the pofieflioii of those laws which hud long beentiearto them, and which removed them from each other in principles and manners, as far as from " the centre to the pole." But Italy, which in the judgment of 011 philofophifts, had once exhibited this weak nei's, was now to be taught a better lcfTon. All moral considerations were to be fuptjr feded by the supreme wifdoin of the cloke bag ; and republics, monarchies, and what, ever elie might be the diftinftions of aristo cratic government, were to be swept away with the besom of 1795. What (hall be the constitution of Genoa ? A Dire&ory and two councils—What of Mantua.

We (hall indulge ourselves, however, with an observation or "two on his cruelty. "We ftlett this vice, because Buonaparte hai been celebrated by the ignorant and malevolent of this country, for nothing so much as for his humanity! One man, of whom we- should fay, if we could for a moment bqlieve in the niLtempfychofis, that the spirit of Bishop Bonner had taken full possession, has had the consummate folly to affirm, that Buonaparte " his roßfolation and hi} triumph," preferred the prefervatioo of one citizen, to the me lantholy glory of a thousand victories. Where did this scribbler, who from his fhidv, inlults the feelings of his countrymen aud boasts ot his fatisfaction in the fucccls of their enemies,cofleft his proofs of the ten der concern of Buonaparte for the life of* citizen ? Was jt at the bridge of Lodi, where he facrificed fix Uioufand of them to the va nity of forcing a pais which he might have turned without the loss of a man ?_Was it —but why, why multiply questions, when there is not, perhaps, a reader of a common newspaper in Europe (this pestilent foe to the honor of his country excepted) who does not know that Buonaparte has wantonly spilt more blood than any Attila of ancient or modern time, who, with the fame fliejns,bu i had merely the fame ends to ttTeft. We may. perhaps, at some future time take up this topic at greater length ; me n. while we shall content ourfelv°B wiih refer, ring to Boyr's lettgr (No. XXII.) and re. turn to the fu! je& of the expedition. We have called it a farce ; we might with more justice, have called it a tragedy—lt is, we are perfwaded (but here we beg to be uii derftosd at speaking only our private and in. dividual opinion) a deep laid plan, of which the only adlors in the secret are the dire&ory and Buonaparte, and, perhaps, Berthier. The main plot was to get rid of the Italian army ; the subordinate one to conquer and plunder what they could ; If Egypt fell so much the better !if it did not—so much the better still. The den >uc nent was /kill fully effedked either way, aud tlic govern ment equally relieved f But why th n all thin exptnee, this ha lard of their sole remaining fleet this expo sure of their best and moll fkilful officers, of their protoundett philofuph'-rs, of their most fcientific men of every k.i. d ? These we coi.. fefsaie weighty and rational objeftioiij, and if we could not answer them tu out owq fa tisfa&ion, we would without hesitation re nounce the opiuion we hjrve f Men, a.id a dopt that of our opponents in its stead. We begin, then, with premi£ng that tie dire&ory d«> net set much store by their Sa vans ; they have exported several head» of them to Cayenne, a spot still worse than E gypt ; and made a great c<>i sumption of them at home, in hoyadet fufillades, &c &c, these, therefore, may be fafely.put out of the question of all mankind. With refwe£t ft) the " expence"—to fay nothing of the hopes of repaying tt'eaifelves by the plunder of Malta,* and Grari Cairo; it was {'irely worth to effeA the important ends they had in view— The " haaard of their fleet " indeed, seems a more ferioui matter ; but le- it be remem bered, that the direftory had no idea that we could poflibly fend a squadron i»ta tie Meditertancaß ( a sea which we had aban doned for near two years) strong tnongh to attack it ; and here let u* pay the tribute of applause so justly due to the f crecy, and (kill, and promptitude, with which this molt important measure was tffeded. With regard to the " exposure of thcr belt officers"—and here we make our chief stand—we fay, that the Government had no such dffign. They wcrefent, it is true, because the army, wsuld pot move without them ; but we have proof, little short of ma thematical certainty that they were fpffdi ly meant to be recalled to France It appear* from some of Buonaparte's letters, hdi had not thr idea of wintering io E" gypt. " I (Kali- pa{j,'' fays he, "the cold months in Burgundy, where I wish you would lookout fooie lit' le place for me."—• Here, then, is the solution of the whole enigma. Buonaparte was to leave his devo ted followers to npouldcr away in the unci* fturbed pofieffion of Egypt, and under fotne plausible pretence to return to Europe with his ablelt officers, and with perhaps, a hand ful of the moil dudlile and tradable of hi! tropps This plan, and no other, accounts for bi» ;eeping the fleet on the C"aft,in spite of the emonftrancts of Brueys,& the evident dan ger to which it was exposed—it was to car« ry 'back the " Conqueror of Egypt" i* tr '" umph to France ; and the Admiral, who was wholly unacquainted with hi» defigfi fell a facrifice at la(t, to a perfidy which he could not comprehend. „ * 7 he JirJi of Augyjl ruined all thefefinefpun lchemes ; and Buonaparte fell intothe toils he was spreading for otheyg !
