aware that iho iiwr ofc^gypt wu«
of the careless yrilMbrera were no
rible as was lU'Vfi even liure, stilt tho it
military despotism was ouforced. The ii«
the stragglers were now brushed up; (he ranksc!
theif Ho . The etogles waved in the centre; and
• army, in .order of battle, drew near the river Nile.
. Moon came; and, all nt onco, the uvor—the'feeau-
tiful river—"rolled in its nrcujesiy at the faftt of the ud*
venturers; At a little distance flouted tho flotilla,
with the Hag ot the republic waiving proudly o'ei it;
a tic! green fiolds and waring groves spit-ad in beauty
v .around thorn. ''ThoNile! the Nile!",thundered along
fhe line, and then officers and men, without due con*
bark in rhis wild crusade against the Mamelukes) waa
a wooduu legged general; und, as he hobbled paBt, ibe
aoldiers joked freely.
"He is sure of having one foot in France," said
they, "leí vyftat will hkppeti."
Wliqi) their Goneral was seen, as the columns
"wounl round the hill* of sand, tbey pleasantly said,
"He promised us seven acres of land, the rogue;
how moderate! ho might as safely have promised us a
township; we would not have abused lilt good na-
ture."
1 he learned commission did not esfupe the satire
of the light- heat ted soldiery; and tho jackasses that
bore the philosophers' camp kettles, and the scien-
tific instruments, were called demisavans. Buttoned
up to,tho ^hroatin his gold laced coat, with his burn-
ing s^ord under his ai m, with a compressed lip and
thoughtful lnok,the leader firmly trod at the head of
his B^aff. He looked not to tbo left. Tho course was
^regularly laid down by the astronomer, and the a-
aideration, rushed headlong into its slimy watei'B.—
Not a soldier threw off his knapsack, or stacked his
inusket. "Water! water! Oh, God, a drop of water!"
cried the weary and sick; ijtij; did the cry cease until
the feremost soldiers, having satisfied themsehes,
ministered to ithe wunts of their fellows. The army
000 reached Danhour, and encamped upon a field of
grain s
' Heaiing; that tho Mamelukes were at Chebreissa to
dispute his progress, the leader gav$ the word, and the
army movod up the Nilo in solid squares. A horse-
man, splendidly dressed, with his turban waving gaily
in the breeze, now hoVered along the edge of the hor-
izon. raping in his meitied steed. Another and an-
other appeared, until a respectable number had mus-
tered, and, with a horrid yell, rushed upon the ad-
vancing army. It was thw onset of the Mamelukes,
Under Muurad Key; and dearly did the Frenchmen
«offer, though near the Nile, the soldiers were dying
with thirst; and, if one was adventurous enough to
seek a draught from the swollen river, the next mo-
ment ho was either pierced by the spear, or behead-
ed by a stroke of the scimitar from the Arab horse-
men.
( "Whore is Cairo?—it is but a city of mud huts,"
Cry tho ignorant sufferers; "if we are to die in the
desert—if we are to thirst by the rivers and starve by
the green pastures, lot us die at once by the sword of
the Mamelukes."
"Tho Mnmelukes—Chebreissa," cried a thousand
voice , as the morning of the 13th dawned upon the
army of the French.
Mourad Bey and his matchless cavalry awaited the
approach of the weary squaréj; and soon the war-cry
of the horsemen stiuck upon the General's ear. The
battle now commenced it? earnest. The Metnelukes,
fresh and powerful, ón the most splendid horses of
the east, glittering with gold, silver and jewels; charg-
ed upon tho squares of French infantry. DreadftM
'vvas the onsflt; torrible the meeting; death hung upon
a blow, pnd destruction upon a hole's hoof.
It was a battle of stem necessity on the part of the
invaders. Tho divert and shame lay behind—Cairo
and glory bofore. The cy mbals of Mourad Bey clash-
ed, the bugles sounded shrill, and the Mamelukos
again threw themselves Upon the solid squaros.
When stabbed, or wounded with a gunshot, the
Wild horseman of the desert clung to his steed, and he
was draggqd along the ground, leaving a bloody trail
behind; he gnashed hia. teeth in bitter hatred, and
awepthis flashing scimiffer across the knees of the fore-
mast ranks of the bristling squares.
The Turkish fleet now attacked the French flotilla.
Heavy cannon thundered up the Nile, and waked the
echoes of the Pyramids; but, after several hours hard
fighting, Mourad lifly pronounced the French to be
invincible, leaving three hundred dead upon the field
of battle. ' • ,
Tho Turkish (fleet at the same time hauled off in
great distress, and .the cannon's roar melted in the
bugle'amelodious note upon the arid plains of Che-
breissa.
"Há, Milt at!" said Napoleon, as he rode over the
field of the dead, and saw the wild dog feasting upon
the tutbaned corpses, "give me tho Mameluke caval-
ry and the French infantry, and I will conquer the
■world.1'
"You will conquer it without." said Murat, with a
emile, '-but see, our columns wait,"
"On wat d," said the leader, with a wave ofhis hand,
"ten days, and I sup in Cairo."
JFor eight days the army continued to advance, now
renting amid the ruins of só/ne ancient city, now cool-
ing their thirst from the sluggish tido of some muddy
stream. The .General, too; as he had done through-
out the march, shared in all things with the meanest
soldier. Ilia head rested upon I lie sand stone oí the
waste—-his marque was the jewelled canopy of heav-
en—this lull the howl of the jackulls—and his reyille
the yell of the skirmishing Mameluke.
In squares six Jeep on each side, with the artillery
at right angles, and the cavalry, baggage, and ammu-
nition in the centre, the Frcnch army drew near the
pluitt of Caito.
Jt was on tho 10th of July, at daybreak, when a
shout from tho vanguard broke upon tho laggard ear;
a peaked cjóud seemed to rise from the Nile, and
caught hl^,eager fcyo ns ho'gnZod around the honizon.

black wings, passed swiftly amonq; tho mountains of
Upper Egypt. The sun roso in eastern splendor
from the desert, and lit tho sombre sands; a bright
ray flashed upon the far distant object. It was a spec
taele never equalled in sublimity. Tho whole ariny
exclaimed, us ono mnr>i "The Pyramid*!" nod, a4 the
squares advanced with martial music, n train of cam-
elf came tinkling around tho base of the Sphynx, an
Arab horseman galloped out of tight behind the shade
of the Girge, and the strain of the dying cymbals of

America and England.—Nothing can be more
pleasing to a generous mind, than to witness the rap-
id progress of reconciliation and good will between
ourselves and our neighbors on the other side pf the
water—literally neighbors, within a fortnight' sail of
each other, as is evinced by the lost trip of the Great
Western. The contest of the sword has ceasedj nev-
er we trust to be renewed. The. war of ink is be-
coming less accrimonious, and wi'l> we hope, soon
cease also. Nothing can operate so powerfully and
effectually, to create a thorough union ol feeling and
intelligence between the cultivated portions of both
communities, as the mutual interchange of mind.
The intellectual commerce between the two coun-
tries was formerly .confined to imports on our 6Íde;
ano thff English thought no more of importing or
reading American books, than they now do of sha-
ving with American razors. Who reads America^
books? asked the Ediuburg Review, and there was
no Briton to answer. The American was considered
as a provincial dialect, and "Americanism," was lit-
tle else than a term for barbarism. How rapidly is
all this passing away. Great Britain and America
now form one great market for the encouragement
and reward- of intellectual exertion. The inquiry
now is, as to the excellence of the product, and not
qs to the soil which produced "it. American books,
we see it recently stated, are not only published in
England, but sought after with great avidity.

CONSUMPTION ÁNÓ LIV^R COMPLAINT
AN'D ALL diseases of the Cheat,: palpitation of the heart
Coughs andColda, are essily cured bv the genuine
•DR. TAYLOR'S KALSAM OF LIVEUWORT.
This Medicine is celebrated for curing consumption, Bronchi
lis, and all sffociions of ihe Chest and Liver. It has been used
extensively and with extnordinary success throughout the Uni-
ted Slates foro number of years past—oumeruus testimonials of
remarkable cures performed by it are in possession of the agent,
and can be sean at hisaslore on the strand. The following re
marks in relation to it, are taken from the |ast number of the "Me-
dical Magazine."
' The surprising effect produced by the genuine Dr. Taylor's
Balsam of Liverwort, made at 375 Bowery, in consumptive cases
am1 affection* of the liver cannot fail to encite a deep and thrilling
interest throughout the world. Wo have so loiig believed this
disease (consumption) incurable, that it is difficult to credit our
senses when we sen parsons, evidently consumptive, restored to
health. Yet it is a fact ofdaily occurrience. It is used with equa
success in Liver Complaints also. How then can we question
the virtu s of tho above Medicine?
In our noxt «ye shall be moro explicit; mean time we hope phy-
sicians will make triul of this Medicine an'd report its effects to us."
