A virulent pamphlet against Napoleon I who is here concealed under the name of Nabis the former tyrant of Sparta. ""Une nation s'est élevée pour asservir l'univers ; elle a d'abord exercé ses forces sur tout ce qui l'environnait ; elle a vaincu ses voisins ; elle a donné à la servitude qu'elle leur impose le nom de paix et depuis ce moment elle n'en connaît aucune autre"" p. 11. A versatile and intriguing figure the Comte dAntraigues 17531812 was from 1790 to 1812 one of the principal intelligence agents of the European coalition against France and specialized in counter-propaganda.He unwittingly played a key role in the denunciation of Pichegru which enabled the republican majority of the Directory to carry out the coup détat of 18 Fructidor Year V 4 September 1797.Under the Consulate and the Empire Antraigues in the service of Russia established intelligence networks from Austria Dresden and England.""Sa femme et lui moururent assassinés dans leur maison de Barnes-Terrace près de Londres le 22 juillet 1812. L'assassin un Piémontais déserteur de l'armée française se suicida.

1800177962Paris: Imprimerie de la république 1800. The end of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt Sole edition of this rare document published shortly before Napoleon's forces withdrew from Egypt in which Cairo's council the diwan attempts to create an impression of continuing allegiance to France at a time of great political instability foreshadowing the eventual rejection of colonial rule. We locate only three copies of this document in institutions Leiden BnF and Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. In Paris where it was published the declaration would have been interpreted as a sign of Egyptian loyalty to Napoleon and his general in chief Jacques-François de Menou also known as Abdallah J. Menou d. 1810 but the reality was somewhat different. Napoleon's invasion of Egypt had begun in 1798 inspired by a desire to counteract Britain's influence in the Middle East and to 'liberate' the country from Ottoman rule. He took Cairo late in July 1798. However Nelson's victory at the Battle of the Nile in August 1798 left the French without a fleet and Napoleon was forced to halt his expansion into Syria in 1799. Napoleon managed to hold advancing Ottoman forces at the Battle of Abukir in June 1799 but news soon reached him that his gains in Europe had been reversed and he resolved to abandon his own forces and return to France which he did in complete secrecy on 23rd August 1799. He left behind him General Kléber who would soon be murdered and de Menou who succeeded Kléber as general in chief in June 1800. The Convention of El Arish signed in January 1800 by the French and the Ottomans at the instigation of the British intended to bring the French presence in Egypt to an end but only after de Menou's defeat at the Battle of Alexandria in March 1801 were the French forces ultimately repatriated. Written in November 1800 after the Convention had been signed but before the withdrawal was finalized this declaration was signed by the leading members of the council including the Grand Imam of al-Azhar Shaykh Abdallah al-Sharqawi d. 1812 and witnessed by de Menou. The translators were the renowned orientalists Silvestre de Sacy and Pierre Jaubert. The latter acted as Napoleon's interpreter in Egypt.
