came and threw himself at my feet.~I have sent home more than five hundred persons of Damascus and Aleppo, as well as from four to five hundred Egyptians. I have pardoned the Mamelukes and Cashefs whom I took at El-rish; I have pardoned O'mar Makram, Sheik of Cairo; I have been merciful with the Egyptians, as well as as with the people of Jaffa, but severe

two batteries of approach, a battery in breach, and one of the mortars were made ready to play. The garrison, a multitude of men, variously clothed, and of all colours (Maugrabins, Albanians, Curds, Natolians, Caramanians, Damascenes, Allepins, and blacks of Tekrur), made a sortie, and attacked the battery in breach. They were strongly repulsed, and sent back more quickly than they wished. My Aid--with the garrison, which was taken de-Camp, Durock, an officer in whom with arms in its hands. I have the greatest confidence, particularly distinguished himself.

"At day-break on the 17th, I caused the commandant to be summoned. He cut off my messenger's head, and gave me no reply. At seven, the fire began. At one, I conceived the breach practicable. General Lasne prepared for the assault. Netherwood, adjunct of the Adjutant Generals, with ten carbiniers, mounted the first, and was followed by three companies of grenadiers of the 13th, and of the 69th demi-brigade, commanded by adjutantgeneral Rambaud, for whom I request the rank of Brigadier General. At five o'clock, we were masters of the town, which, during twenty-four hours, was was given up to all the horrors of war, which never appeared to me so hideous. Four thousand of Djezzar's troops, among whom were eight hundred cannoneers, were put to the sword; part of the inhabitants were massacred.

"In the course of the following days, several vessels came from SaintJean-d'Acre, with food and ammunition. They were taken in the port. They were greatly astonished at seeing the town in our power. The opinion had been that it would have detained us six months.

A'bd-ullah, Djezzar's General, had the address to conceal himself among the Egyptians, from among whom he

"We have taken at Jaffa fifty pieces of cannon, of which thirty are field pieces, after the European model ; ammunition; more than four hundred thousand rations of biscuit, two thousand quintals of rice, and some magazines of soap."

BONAPARTE, then, did, beyond a doubt, put four thousand of Djezzar's troops, composing the garrison, to death.

The only questions are, WHEN and HOW were they put to death?

As to the manner HOW, Mr. Morier, Sir Robert Wilson, and Dr, Wittman, have described it.

As to the time WHEN, Berthier describes the garrison as fighting to the last, and falling in the assault; but is this consistent with Bonaparte's own words (severe envers la garnison, qui s'est laisse prendre les armes a la main), as above translated? Does the term severe, and its opposition to merciful, apply to the killed in battle? Do not Bonaparte's words shew a total absence of inclination to conceal that he put them to death after he had them in his power; and that he did this by way of punishment for their not having laid down their arms!

Punish soldiers for not having laid down their arms!!! When did a civilized warrior do this? When was ever a general, among those whom we

G2

call

I call (and God grant we always may call) illustrious, backward to applaud the honourable resistance of his enemy? Punish soldiers for not laying down their arms!!! Bonaparte is a stranger to all that has rendered soldiership honourable, to all that has placed it among the most dignified of human pursuits! His enemy's soldiers he regards as malefactors!!!

BRITONS! This is a consideration that comes home to you. Were Bonaparte as covered with virtues as he is with vices, were he as glorious as he is infamous, were he the best, were he better than the best of men, his subjugation of your country must be a calamity which you would resist as long as you had an arm to lift against

would eat! You cannot listen to his promises, you cannot trust in his word. Enquire concerning him in every way, and you will find, at every step, that contempt for truth, an utter disregard of what he says, a deception upon principle, are the resources to which he uniformly flies.

With what a Barbarian you have to fight! You must remember this. You must break yourself of the habit of trusting in the word of a soldier: his uniform, indeed, is the uniform of a soldier, but his weapons are the weapons of an assassin. You must believe him, only when you have deprived him of the power to lie. You must lay down your arms, only when you can no

longer hold them.

ADDRESS

TO THE

PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. ENGLISHMEN! you have been unjustly charged with supineness and despondency. The enemies of Government, and the admirers of the CORSICAN TYRANT, have interpreted your silent confidence, into despair and dismay. They alledge against you, that, although the union, courage, and pa

it. His situation forces him to be despotic; liberty grows out of an old and secure government; a new government must support itself with the bayonet ; if your government were shaken, your liberty would be gone: all this is in the nature of things. Whether or not Bonaparte, therefore, is to subjugate your country, is out of the question. You do not think of it for a moment. You swear that while you live he shall not. But the consideration is, with what a Barbarian you have to fight!!!triotic spirit, which you displayed in the His word is nothing. He has no emotions. He is not a man, but a monster. Read over again the above letter---see with what indifference he tells of bloodshed! nothing moves him.

With what a Barbarian you have to fight! You cannot accept quarter; he will hang you for having attempted to oppose him! You cannot surrender at his approach; he will hang you for, having threatened to oppose him; he will hang you because he has not prisons in which to keep you, or poison you, because he wants the bread you

your

late contest, deterred the enemy from the design of INVADING YOU, your present inactivity bespeaks your disapprobation of the war, and raises in the mind of your INSOLENT AGGRESSOR the hope of success. Let not, how"ever, a well-founded confidence in strength, bravery, and resources, be misconstrued into distrust by an artful enemy, with whom bravado and clamour are held as the only indications of courage, and who observes silence only under the influence of terror and oppression.

EXAMPLE

EXAMPLE is but wanting to embattle the nation---SYSTEM only is required to call forth HALF A MILLION OF BRI TONS to avenge the insults they have too long endured from a love of PEACE, and to shew themselves the avengers of their own RIGHTS, and of HUMANITY herself, so grievously outraged in every other corner of the civilized world!

Your Counties and Shires are now assembling for the purpose of LOCAL DEFENCE, under a system, which will be found as formidable to the enemy as efficacious towards your security and internal peace. Hasten then to de

monstrate to your DARING INVADER, how high your national spirit rises at the insult, and that although his DISCOMFITURE and RUIN be certain in the attempt, let your strenuous and unceasing efforts in GENERAL ARMAMENT manifest to the foe, a firm appearance of the same manly vigour in defence of every thing dear to ENGLISHMEN, which purchased with so much blood, your envied LIBERTY and glorious CONSTITUTION, and which can emanate only from the spirit of BRITONS!

The final overthrow of FRANCE will be the reward of your courage, and the certain consequence of her temerity and madness. Hear the prophetic words of General DUMOURIEZ, the natural eneiny of England, and the most sanguine officer who ever commanded the armies of France:

"Should this expedition, however, be unsuccessful, which is very possible; should the Invincible British Fleet gain a decisive victory over the French, Spanish, and Dutch, Fleets, whether

combined or separate; should the English nation, proud and energetic as the French, equally animated by patriotism and national dislike, repulse the French army soon after it has landed; should they destroy it, force it to re ́embark with loss, or cut off its communication with the sea; should they weaken, harrass, or reduce it to famine, and render this great expedition abortive, which, on a large scale can only be attempted, and may partially or altotogether fail in the execution, then FRANCE IS TOTALLY RUINED; all her LAURELS ARE WITHERED; her Allies WILL ABANDON HER AND TURN A

GAINST HER; the other Powers of Europe will attack her on every side; she will have lost the flower of her warriors and the reputation of her arms; she will be without money, and internal Discord will COMPLEAT HER

DESTRUCTION.

"It is at PARIS HER DISAPPOINTED and INDIGNANT SOLDIERY, will seek the Rewards and PLUNDER PROMISED THEM IN LONDON. The Generals themselves will either be the first Victims of the excusable fury of the Troops, or will partake of their Indignation, and their Revolt!"

Such, ENGLISHMEN, will be the fruits of your Activity, your Steadiness, your UNION, and Valour. Lose not therefore a Moment in preparing the means of atchieving so much Glory for your COUNTRY, of gaining so much Honour for YOURSELVES, and your proud POSTERITY!!!

EPIGRAM.

SAYS Boney to Johnny, I'll soon be at Dover;
Says Johnny to Boney, That's doubted by some:
Says Boney, But what if I really come over?
Says Johnny, Then really you'll be over-come!

-BRITONS! TO ARMS!!!

Written by W. T. FITZGERALD, Esq; and recited by him, at the Meeting of the Literary Fund, July 14, 1803.

BRITONS, to ARMS! of apathy beware,

And let your COUNTRY be your dearest care:
Protect your ALTARS! guard your monarch's Throne,
The Cause of GEORGE and Freedom is your own!

What shall that ENGLAND want her SONS' support,
Whose HEROES fought at CRESSY*—AGINCOURT† ?
And when Great MARLBOROUGH led the English van,
In FRANCE, o'er FRENCHMEN, triumph'd to a man!
By ALFRED's great and ever honour'd name!
By EDWARD's prowess, and by HENRY's fame!
By all the gen'rous blood for freedom shed,
And by the Ashes of the patriot dead!
By the bright glory BRITONS lately won
On EGYPT's plains, beneath the burning Sun,
BRITONS, to ARMS! defend your country's cause;
Fight for your KING, your LIBERTIES, and LAWS!
Be France defied, her slavish YOKE abhorr'd,
And place your safety only on your sword.
The Gallic DESPOT, sworn your mortal FOE,
Now aims his last, but his most deadly blow;

With ENGLAND's PLUNDER tempts his hungry Slaves,
And dares to brave you on your native waves!

If Britain's rights be worth a Briton's care,

To shield them from the sons of rapine-swear !
Then to INVASION be defiance given,

Your canse is just, approv'd by earth and heaven!
Should adverse winds our gallant fleet restrain,
To sweep his bawbling §" vessels from the main ;
And fate permit him on our shores t'advance
The TYRANT never shall return to FRANCE;
Fortune herself shall be no more his Friend,
And here the history of his crimes shall end-

His slaughter'd legions shall manure our Shore,

And ENGLAND never know Invasion more!!

In the Year 1346, EDWARD, Prince of Wales, (commonly called the Black Prince), son of our King EDWARD III, gained the famous battle of CRESSY, in which thirty thousand of the French were killed upon the field.

In the year 1415, HENRY V. King of England invaded France, and gained the memorable battle of AGINCOURT, when ten thousand of the French were slain, and fourteen thousand were taken prisoners. The prisoners were more in number than the victorious English army!

In Queen ANNE's reign, A. D. 1706, the great Duke of MARLBOROUGH gained the renowned battle of BLENHEIM. Twelve thousand French were slain, and thirteen thousand taken prisoners, together with the French general, Marshal TALLARD.

§ "A bawbling vessel was he captain of,
"For shallow draught, and bulk unprizable."

AT no period since I have been your diocesan, have I interfered with your political opinions, or shewn the least anxiety to direct them to the support of any particular party in the state. Had I followed a contrary conduct, I should have acted in a manner unbecoming the nature of my office; ill suited to the character I wish to maintain, and disrespectful to yourselves. I have unquestionably iny political principles, as well as other men have theirs and, how unfashionable soever they may have become, I have never scrupled, and never shall scruple, to confess that those on which the Revolution was founded, and the present reigning family seated on the throne of these kingdoms, are, in my judgment, principles best calculated to protect the liberty and property of the subject, and to secure the honour and happiness of the sovereign.

ages; they insult the hoary head, and trample on all the decencies of life. This is no exaggerated picture: whoever has read the account of the proceedings of the French in Swabia, in Holland, in Italy, in Switzerland, knows that it is not. And, can there be men in Great Britain, of so base a temper, so maddened by malignity, so cankered by envy, so besotted by folly, so stupified as to their own safety, as to abet the designs of such an enemy? It is said there are such men; but I have too firm a confidence in the general good sense of the people of Great Britain to believe, that such men are either many in number, or respectable for character, or formidable for connexion. The men of this principality, at least, have nobly shewn, in a late instance, that they inherit the spirit of their ancestors, and have too ardent a love of their country to subunit to a foreign yoke, under whatever specious promises of supporting rights of men," of introducing liberty and equality," the invaders may attempt to deceive them.
