AN INSCRIPTION

On a monument, erected by the Turks in the Holy Land, after the
defeat of the French in Egypt
To hand down, for ages to come, to the just execration
of posterity, the name and memory of
APOLLYON BONAPARTE,
this charnel-house, filled with the bones of our fathers
and brethren in arms, was erected by us, the survivors of
JAFFA,
in this very field, where that atrocious tyrant gloried in
the cold-blooded massacre of
Near Four Thousand of our Race.
Reader-take good heed, and know that it was reserved for
JACOBIN FRANCE,
to prove that there could exist upon the earth a human
being so completely bereft of all the sympathies of
our nature, as to be capable, first to conceive,
next to command, and at last
(after the basest dissimulation till the fatal moment) to
witness, as he did, with
HELLISH EXULTATION,
so horrible a work of
PERFIDY AND MURDER:
The cruellest butchery of that day, almost glutted the
ruthless satellites of his power,
The Jacobin Soldiery of the French Republic,
a set of wretches truly abandoned, and alone worthy of
such a commander: For who but a Corsican would
have added to his list of villainies the poisoning
of
Eight hundred of his own Followers?
This miscreant, if estimated by the dimensions of his
person,
IS A PIGMY:
if by the propensities of his soul, and the magnitude of
his crimes,
A GIANT
of wrath and destruction; who, having enslaved the con-
tinent, threatens to invade the forests of
THE BRITISH LION:
but, roused from his slumber, that generous and noble
animal gnashes his teeth in defiance, waiting only till
he shall venture within his grasp, to
TEAR HIM TO ATOMS.
