Lord Nelson, beating out with his fleet for a month toward Syria—discovering that the French had landed in Egypt—sailed for Alexandria. The fleetof Brueys was at anchor in the hay of Aboukir. Nelson quickly sighted his antagonist, blockaded iiiiu, and on the 1st of August, 17S)N, began that fain us Battle of the Nile, the memory of which is still fresh iu history an I tradition. The French fleet was virtually destroyed. The Admiral’s ship Orient was burned. On the bloody deck, the son of Captain Louis Casablanca stood at bis post, giving to the I poetry of Homans a flame-vision and voice to posterity. Only four or five of the French vessels escaped destruction. The rest, with nearly four thousand seamen, went into oblivion. Napoleon had littlo genius for the sea. His ability to estimate the contingencies of naval warfare was small. Be-

NAPOLEON BY CHATAIONIER. fore his career was half expired, he conceded the dominion of the ocean to his great enemy. Ever after tho Egyptian campaign, his endeavor looked* more and more to tho creation of a Continental power which should countervail British supremacy on tho deep. The result to him of tho battle of the Nile was in every way disastrous. The effect of it was calculated to inspire distrust In France, encourage the Coalition, and to reanimate the Mamelukes. Complaints broke out in the French army. Though victory came, deprivatiou came also. Tho soldiers were scorched on the blistering plains, and hail littlo to eat but watermelons. Nevertheless, Napoleon wont steadily on with his scheme. On tho 22nd of October, at a preconcerted signal, Cairo broke into insurrection. For a while the French occupancy was endangered; but the revolt was suppressed, and a terrible vengeance was wreaked on its authors. Meanwhile, Napoleon conceived the project of making a campaign into Syria, and attacking tho English strongholds of Jaffa and St. Jean d’Acre. Tho situation was this: Franco and Turkey were nominally at pence. Napoleon had overthrown the Sultan’s rebellious beys in Egypt. Therefore ho was a friend of the Sultan; and hoof him. But tho thickbraiu of the Porte at length cleared sufficiently to see that Murad ami Ibrahim Beys wore not half so dangerous as the foreign lion that now sat on his haunches at Cairo, licking his month for more. The Sultan perceived that the French must bo expelled. Napoleon had seen that this conclusion would bo reached, and that a Turkish army might be expected to come against him out of Syria. Therefore lie would better preoccupy Syria. Moreover, the hated English had got tho coast of the Eastern Mediterranean. Tho Turkish army might not be expected during the winter; but tho English were there already. Hence the Syrian expedition. Napoleon divided his forces. He left about twelve thousand men to occupy Egypt, and with a like number set out, on the Uth of February, ITU'.i, inthodirection of Suez and Palestine. The march was accompanied with great hardships. At the wells ot Messoudiali the French found water; and soon afterwards, the green and fertile plains of Syria arose to view. El-Arish was taken on the 17th of February. On the 1st of March, Napoleon slept at the convent of Katnlch. He passed within a few miles of Jerusalem, and then made his way to Jaffa. A siege was immediately begun, and on the (ith of March the place was taken, with pillage and massacre. About four thousand of tho prisoners were, after three days of deliberation, set in lines on tho seashore end shot. This was done under the terrible necessity of tho French to preserve themselves in the enemy’s country. Next came the horror of the plague. With the tall of Jaffa, the march was begun against St. Jean d’Acre. The Arabs now made common cause with tho Turks. Lanncs, pursuing the wild men into the passes of Nablous, was ambushed, ami lost a considerable number of men. On the listli of March the French arrived at Acre, and found that tho Pasha Djezzar had cut off the head of Napoleon’s envoy, and thrown his body into the sea. The English under Sir Sidney Smith, and tho Turks, hold the town. Acre was besieged until the Nth of May, when the French ammunition began to fail. General t’affarolli, one of Napoleon's favorite officers, already onelegged from heroism, died from the amputation of an arm. On tiie loth of the month the French made an assault, and gained the trenches. During the sixty

were now at one against the French. Napoleon's guns were not heavy enough, and his forces not sufficiently strong, to capture Aero; and on the 20th of May tho si> ge was raised. The losses of tho French in the Syrian campaign had reached nearly three thousand men; thosu of the Turks and the allies, per-

haps five times that number.

Napoleon was weak in the matter of retreat. He could not retreat well. His fallings back were likely to degenerate into panic. This fact was exemplified in his withdrawal from Palestine. The march began on the 2oth of May. The 22nd found the French at Ciesarca. Two days afterwards they reached Jaffa. There a pest-house had been established for t hose who had the plague. Napoleon

the infeoted with him v > only to spread the disease. He went with bis surgeons and aides into tho plaguehouse, and passed among the dead and dying. He struck his boot-tops with Ids whip as he wont along, saying, “In a few hours the Turks will be here. Let all those who have strength enough rise and come with us. ” None could arise. Then it was that, in a hurried consultation with Ids physician Desgenettes, Bonaparte proposed to anticipate with a potion ot laudanum and a painless exit the cruel death which he saw to be inevitable. For this proposition he has been condemned by a sentimental world —against all reason and humanity. His project was just such as a humane man would propose for his own brother under the cruel alternative then presented. The returning expedition reached Cairo on the 14th of Juno. Affairs in Egypt were already in a distracted condition. El-Mahdi was crying out like a prophet in Bobahiroh. The fellahs and Arabs wore rallying to his standard. Murad Bey was returning with his forces from Upper Egypt, to form a junction with the Mahdi’s rout at the Natron lakes. Meanwhile, a force of about fifteen thousand, commanded by Mustapha Pasha and under conduct of English ships, arrived at Aboukir. A division of French, under General Marmont, held Alexandria; but that officer would be unable to keep the city against the gathering forces of the enemy. Napoleon hastily marched against the Turks and English at Aboukir. Here, on the 25th of July, 1799, with only five thousand men, he attacked the enemy, three times as strong in numbers, and gained a victory so signal ns almost to counterbalance tho disaster of the year before, when Brueys’s fleet at the same place was annihilated. In the negotiation that followed between Bonaparte and the English Admiral, the former obtained a copy of the French Gazette, of Frankfort, informing him of tho condition of affairs in Europe. For ten months he had received virtually no news at all from his own country. Tho French army had to all intents been blockaded in Egypt and Palestine. “Heavens!” the General cried out; “my presentiment has been verified. The fools have lost Italy I All tho fruits of our victories are gone. 1 must leave

Egypt!”

It was necessary that Napoleon should bo secret as well as expeditious. He informed the divan of Cairo that he should bo absent briefly in the Delta. Afterwards ho published a bulletin to tlie army, saying that ho was going to France, but would soon be back again. The command should remain with General Kleber, who was truly said to have the confidence of the General-in-chief. Berthier and Lanncs were to accompany the commander to Franco. Two frigates, the Muiron and tile Carrero, were quickly prepared, and, on tho 23rd of August, a company of about five hundred men went on board with Napoleon. By keeping close to the African shore tho vessels were enabled to escape detection. After twenty-one days the site of Carthage was passed, and the danger was over. On the 1st of October the ships were driven in at Ajaccio. While detained in his native island Napoleon learned of the disastrous battle of Novi, the death of Joubert, and all the recent misfortunes of France. On leaving Ajaccio, his ship was followed by two English vessels, and well nigh taken; but on tho 8th of October, he reached the roadway of Frejus, and was safe. Tho enthusiasm of tho people broko out spontaneonsly. They of Frejus, when warned to keep off on account of the possible infection of the French, said, “All right; ux: prefer the plugvc tn the Aufttrinus."’ Bonaparte left im mediately for Paris, by the Bourbonuais road. At Aix and Lyons he was received with wild acclaim. Nobody stopped to inquire whether the Egyptian campaign had been wholly successful or not. The French simply claimed every-

thing, and shouted.

On the Kith of October Napoleon entered Paris. Josephine came to greet him, and the suspicions against her, with which his mind had been poisoned by some recitals of Jnnot iu Egypt, wore soon dispelled. An interview with tho Directory followed on tho next day, and it became evident that the relations between Napoleon and that body were alroai% strained. Tiie General informed himself of everything; and it was not long till he conceived the project of getting himself chosen a Director, with the alterior design of overthrowing the exsting order.

There has been some understanding with a few in regard to the meaning of an item that appeared in last week's notes. It stated that the boys had played hall upon the campus every afternoon until the college cadets had run them off and that they interrupted a game between two of the classes one day last week. Although the meaning was slightly ambiguous, a second reading of the sentences would have made the true meaning very apparent. The hoys played on the campus until time for the cadet drill when they left the ground and disturbed no one. The higli school boys did not interrupt a game between college classes, but the cadets interrupted one between high

school classes.

A meeting of the senior class was called yesterday for the purpose of arranging the details of the class day exercises. The arrangement of the program was placed in the hands of Mary Bird), Frances Arnold and Jim Kelley. The class present, rf any will be given will be selected by a committee composed of Sallie Sellar, Birdie Billman and Frank Vestal. The committee on decoration is Florence Wood, Ara Blake, Harry Seaman, Ned Zinc and Chas. K.llis. Lizzie Price and Edwin Black were appointed committee on music. The program provided by these committees will be in addition ti tiie class poem, prophecy and history. Among tho CIuiim Iiph.
