interview with the Pacha, and recommended all the Christians of 
Cairo to his protection, as well as the Turks who, during the resi- 
dence of the French in Egypt, were connected with them. He not 
only promised to respect them, but even to treat them with bounty. 
On the 3d, I set out in a conveyance of the Pacha's, in order to re- 
pair to Damietta. The Pacha ordered me to be escorted to Boulak, 
with the same honours that I received on the day of my arrival I 
had written to Captain Gourdain, to repair to Damietta with the

so well to the French under the orders of General Vial, when they 
were taken and imprisoned. The First Consul had exempted his 
village from all contributions. I saw all the Cheiks at Damietta,
