Head Quarters, on Board the L'Orient, June 28th. BONAPARTE, Member of the National Institute. THIS ORDERS. Article 1. HIS and the three following Articles relate solely to the disposition of the transports, and, therefore, are not translated. Art. 5. All the French sailors on board the transport vessels, shall be taken for the service of the fleet. Egyptian sailors shall be taken for the transports. Art. 6.

Alexandria, July the 6th Year of the Republic One and Indivisible, the of the Month of BONAPARTE, Member of the National Institute, Commander in Chief. For a long time the Beys, who govern Egypt, have in sulted the French nation, and covered her merchants with injuries: the hour of their chastisement is come. For too long a time this rabble of slaves, purchased in Caucasus, and in Georgia, has tyrannized over the fairest part of the world; but God, on whom every thing depends, has decreed that their empire shall be no more. People of Egypt! you will be told that I am come to destroy your religion: do not believe it. Reply, that I am come to restore your rights, to punish usurpators; and, that I reverence more than the Mameloucs themselves, God, his prophet Mahomet, and the Koran! Tell them that all men are equal before God. Wisdom, talents, and virtue, are the only things which make a difference between them. Now, what wisdom, what talents, what virtues, have the Mameloucs, that they should boast the exclusive possession of every thing that can render life agreeable? If Egypt is their farm, let them shew the lease which God has given them of it! But God is just and merciful to the people. All the Egyptians shall be appointed to all the public situations. The most wise, the most intelligent, and the most virtuous, shall govern; and the people shall be happy. There were formerly among you great cities, great canals, and a great commerce. What has destroyed them all? What! but the avarice, the injustice, and the tyranny of the Mameloucs. Cadis, Cheiks, Imans, Tchorbadgis! tell the people that we are the friends of the true Mussulmen. Is it not we, who have destroyed the Pope; who said that it was necessary to make war on Mussulmen! Is it not we, who have destroyed the Knights of Malta, because these madmen believed that it was the good pleasure of God, that they should make war on Mussulmen? Is it not we, who have been in all ages the friends of the Grand Seignior, (on whose desires be the blessing of God!) and the enemy of his enemies? And, on the contrary, have not the Mameloucs always re |
