mast recklessness. They wheeled their .hors

Napoleon now, in his flan, charged with ,the
utmost impetuosity. A scene of indescribable
confusion and horror ensued. ; The extended
plain was crowded with fugitives—footmen
and horsemen, beWildered with terror,:seeking
escape from their terrible foes. Thousands
phing,ed„into ihe river.and, endeavored to .
cape by swimming to the opposite shore. Bat,
a shoiver of bullets, like, hail-stones, fell upon
them, and the waves of the Nile, trete crimson
ed with their blood. Others sought the desert,
a wild and rabble route. The victors with I
their accustomed celerity pursued,
_pitilessly'
pouring into the dense masses of .their flying ,
foes the most terrible 'discharge of artillery
and musketry. The rime was complett—the
carnage awful. The sun hnd hardly reached
the meridian, before the whole embattled host I
had disappeared, and the plain, as Sr as the
eve could extend, tvas strewn with the dying
and the dead. The crimp, with all; its Orien
tal wealth, fell into the hands of", the victors;
and the soldiers enriched themselve4 with its
prefusion of splendid!, shawls, I tappifieent
weapons, Arabian
,horses, and :parses filled
with gold. ,The Mamelakes were accustomed 1
to lavish gre a t 'wealth in the decoration oP
their persons, and to carry with' them large
sums . of money. The gold and trappings
found upon the body of each Matneluke were
worth from, twelve hundred to titre thousand
dollars. Besides those 'who were slain upon. I
the field, more than a thousand of these for
midable horsemen werirdrowned in the'Nile.
For InaIIV days the, soldiers "employed, them.

French camp was filled with all aleandance.- 4
This most tem,guinari- 'battle cost-'the French
scarcely one hundrett in killed and wounded..
More than ten thousantrif the enenay perish
ed, Napoleon gazed :With admiration upon
thebravery which thesopriud hor,semen dis.
played. "Could I have, unitedthe Maincluke •
horse to, the French! 'infantry," said_ he, ‘l,
should have reckoned, myself master of the
world."
After the battle, Napoleon, now the undis
puted 6anqueror of Egypt, quartered ,himself
for the night in the country palace of Moirr.ul
Bey. The npartmentit.. of this voluptuous
abode were embellished with all the appirte
trances of Orientallnxiiry. The officer!' were
struck wills surtirise in viewing the multitridel
of cushiona and tllvans,•covered with the finestli

to the sensual indrdgedee of these haughty
despots. Muck of the tight was - passed in
exploring this singelar Mansion. The garden
was extensivemid magnificent in the - extreme.
Innumerable vines were brietHed with.the rich
est grapes. The vintage was soon , gathered
by the thousands of soldiers who filled - theal-'

cies which Europe, Asia; turd- Africa had con -1
tribnted to mitusterto the voluptuotus
dors of the regal mangle, were speedily trans
ferred to the knapsacks r.f the Soldiers. •
The "Battle of the Pyramids," as Napoleon
clummteristically tiesigmitedit, sent a-thrill of
terror far and wide into 'the interior; of Asia:
and Afrien. These proud, merciless, licentious .
oppressors were execrated by the timid Er
