Despatch from Buonaparte at Cairo on Egyptian campaign
Buonaparte reports from Cairo detailing a hard march from Alexandria to the Nile, combat with Mameluks, heavy losses on both sides, and the fall of Cairo after a night bombardment. He praises discipline, notes vast wealth among Mameluk cavalry, and condemns the native populace and geography while praising climate and resources. He mentions pursuing Murat Bey, battle near Lambabe, and movements of Gen. Bon and Gen. Vial. He adds observations on Egypt’s wealth, misery, and lack of grain processing, and records a later order to support Leclerc at Elhana.
