In the Public Record Office in London are two documents (Foreign Office Records 78 Turkey vol. 33) that contain notes on a project of Egyptian independence from the Ottoman Empire presented by an Egyptian delegation that left Egypt on August 10, 1801 along with the French forces that were withdrawn from Egypt after the failure of their expedition. The same delegation under General Yaqub, Commander of the Coptic Legion during the French occupation, addressed two letters to Napoleon and his foreign affairs minister, Talleyrand (Archives du Ministre des Affaires Etrang~res, Turquie, vol. 203) requesting their support for the independence of Egypt. This article describes and comments, in its first part, on the nature of the delegation, and the maneuvers and arguments contained in the appeals to the British and the French. It also describes the significance of the project in spite of its eventual failure. The second part of the article contains the related documents translated from the French original and published together for the first time, along with one original document in English which has never been published except in a French translation
