Hello Rick, I find that witch stuff real interesting. Those darn pigs and dogs will get you every time. I found a list of those who danced with the devil before Salem. It has the Carringtons listed and a few witches were hanged at sea. http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carls...chtrial/na.html barry

So I guess now relatives in the name index... Oh Well, barry

Hello Rick, Enter this site if you dare... Any Deja Vu... http://etext.virginia.edu/salem/witchcraft...ranscripts.html I've been reading down the list and its very interesting. barry

Hello Nick, When the letter was taken by the British ship ORION it was translated on board. I think the original(french) went back to England while Admiral Samaurez kept the english version. This letter stayed with his family and a large group of them were then sold by one of his ancestors. I do have the english version and the paper is watermarked 1796. thanks, barry

Hello Nick, I would pay 30 pounds for it.... I can't find anything old or modern from that period here in Texas. thanks, barry

Hello, This is the first time for me in the Soviet Forum. While looking for docs I came across this one and thought some might be interested in viewing it. The doc is not very clear so maybe someone who is interested in reading it can email them for a better scan. http://www.argosybooks.com/-autographs/-WXYZs/Zhukov_G.html thanks, barry

We go by the Nile - Adieu my Dear little girl. Love me always & recall me often to the momory of all our Friends. I embrace you and also my Children. E. Poussielque Napoleon Returns to France a Hero Abandoning His Troops in Egypt

I have had since my Arrival here my Potrait in Profile, taken by an able Artist Citizen Benoy. It is said to be very like, but we have so many English around us, that for fear of its falling into their hands, or going to the bottom of the sea, I dare not send it. I could wish to be the bearer of it myself. Be assured that as soon as I can obtain permission which I shall not cease to solicit, I shall take my departure. There is no fortune which shall retain me. I shall be contented to arrive with you naked as my hand. As to what remains to be said, I am in good health. Tomorrow morning I take my departure for Cairo in a handsome Boat with the money and Paymaster General, two armed Boats with 250 men as an Escort, and more than 40 passengers. I take with me a fine Arabia Horse which a Chiek made me a present of here. Admiral Nelson Hero of the Battle

Berance who has been ill is quite recovered. He is with me. Martin is extremely well, but has not received one line fron his Family. I am the fortunate one among them having received three letters from you since my Arrival in Egypt. One of the second Pairial, one of the 16th & one on the 27th & 28th. Most certainly several are lost, as the English have taken many of our Cruizers. A French Cannon Lays at the Bottom of the Bay

You will receive in France the official Accounts of us, and the English. I know not what they will say, but you may rely upon what I have written because it is what I have seen. Communicate my letter to Citizen Corancez. His son who ought to have given him these accounts, is by me otherwise occupied. He has written six letters, and has not received one in return. I have no news of Citizen Mony whom I have named Agent at Demautrour. An English Ship in Victory

This is all I can distinguish, from which results, that though the English have had the advantage, they have been very roughly handled, since they could not follow the vessels who went away on the 19th. For these two days these ships have been perfectly inactive and seemingly destroyed. This morning news arrived to us from Alexandria, which confirms our losses. Rear Admiral Descret is Killed, also Vice Admiral Blanquet Duchalia - five Ships have struck their Colours. The Tonnant was the last ship in action. Dupitelair who commanded her, had his two legs carried off by a Cannon shot. The Ships escaped are the Guillaume Tell, the Genereaux, with the Frigates Diana, and Justice. They say it was the Artimise which blew up the morning before yesterday. Many things relative to this Battle are yet to learn. They say that the English Admiral has sent a flag of truce to Alexandria demanding that they should receive, and take care of the wounded which amount to 1500. They will send us all our Prisoners. As yet I am ignorant of what has been decided on. A French Ship Escapes the Battle

Four Ships are without mast and under English Colours. The second and third are in good state, but cannot distunguish theirs. The fourth had lost one mast, the 5th in good state & English Colours. The 6th has lost her topmast, this morning she hoisted her Fore top mast stay sail, and set some after sails. The 7th is without Top Gall Masts. The 8th is dismasted. The 9th is dismasted with the exception of the Bowsprit. The 11th 12th & 13th form a kind of Groupe, having only seven masts between them. The 14th has only her Fore mast. The 15th has lost her Fore and Mizen Top Gall masts. The 16th is entirely dismasted. The 17th has lost her Mizen Top Gall masts. The 18th has only a Foremast. The 19th 20th & 21st form a groupe with only four masts between them, and these without Top Gall masts. The 22nd is entirely dismasted and on shore. She has English Colours up. The People on board her are trying to get her afloat, and raise other masts. The 23rd is in good state under English Colours. The 24th also in good state. Crews Fight to Save Their Ships

They added that our Fleet was totally destroyed & lost with the exception of the four Ships escaped, but that the remainder were entirely ruined. I returned to the Tower where I found things absolutely in the same situation as Yesterday. They were even so yesterday night, & this morning. I have now to Say how they appeared to our View from the Castle of Abouker on the left, sweeping the Horizon to the right. All French Ships in Ruin but the Four that Escaped

You may judge of our Impatience and perplexity - nothing good could be argur'd from the Silence - however we were obliged to pass the whole of the night of the 15th in this uncertaintude, & at last on the morning of the 16th a boat which left Alexandria in the night gave us some details though little tending to our comfort, they told us that the Officers of the French Fleet who saved themselves in a Boat arrived in Alexandria, had reported that in the commencement of the Battle Admiral Brueys had received three severe wounds, one in the Head, & two in the Body that notwithstanding he perstisted in keeping his station, on the Arm, Chest, and that a fourth shot him in the Body, & cut him in two. At the same moment a Shot took off the Captain of the Ship Casablance, that at this time they perceived the Ship to be on fire in such a manner as not to be able to Extinguish it, and at last, that the Ship had blown up about ten O'clock at night. Admiral Brueys of the French Fleet

A large ship entirely dismasted was on shore on the Coast. I perceived others among the Fleet in the similar manner dismasted entirely but the two Squadrons so mingled each other that it was impossible to distinguish French from English, nor on whose side the advantage was. The firing continued with unabating vivacity until abot 2 O'clock after Mid-day of the 15th and at this hour we perceived two sail of the the Line and two Frigates under a press of sail on a Wind standing to the Eastward. We perceived the whole four were under French colours. No other Vessel made any movement & the firing ceased entirely. Towards six O'clock in the evening I returned to the tower of Aboul Mandour to reconnoitre the position of the two Fleets. It was the same as at two o'clock. The four Ships under Way, were abreast of the mouth of the Nile. We know not what to think or conjecture. Twenty four hours passed without having any person to give us any details, and in our situation it was impossible to procure any by Land, on account of the Arabs who were assembled between Rosetta and Abouker, and by Sea on account of the difficulty of getting out of the opening or branch of the Nile.
