Constantinople, 28 Germinal [April 17, 1799].
BONAPARTE has caused a proclamation to be published, in which he invites all the Jews of Asia and Africa to come and range themselves under his banners in order to re-establish ancient Jerusalem. He has already armed a great number of them, and their battalions are threatening Aleppo.
The inhabitants of the surroundings of Damascus are in insurrection against the Porte.
The Grand Seignior [the Sultan] is to depart immediately for Syria, in order to command, in person, against Bonaparte.
The Grand Vizier, at the head of a considerable body of janissaries, is also to set out at the beginning of Floréal [late April/early May].
