Political musings on Egypt and European powers ripple through history
A fragment from a historical discourse reviews Buonaparte's Egyptian plans, the Black Sea focus, and aims to secure harmony between powers. It recalls Zalleyrand, a Batavian reunion, and a July incident in which a Tree of Liberty was felled near Gremonville by a mob aided by local guards. General Difourneaux reports French reprisals against American ships from Guadaloupe in response to the Jourgeste capture.

Debt proof under commission dismissed in Buckland case
In 1799 a creditor who proved a debt before the bankruptcy and signed the bankrupt's certificate sought to sue at law to recover funds. The court held the proof of debt could not be expunged and the petition to compel the affignees to return a dividend was dismissed. The ruling noted the creditor’s late discovery and mistaken belief that payment equaled due liability. The petition was rejected.
