AB - 
	Based on Jean-François Champollion’s letter to his brother Jacques-Joseph Champollion- Figeac dated 28 August 1828, his stay of a few weeks in Alexandria beginning with the arrival of the corvette Églée is discussed. J.-F. Champollion was in charge of a Franco-Tuscan expedition heading for Cairo and further up the Nile to the region of the Second Cataract. In his letter Champollion devoted much attention to the description of Alexandria and the monuments he saw: Pompey’s Pillar and two obelisks known as Cleopatra’s Needles. He also reported on an audience with the Viceroy of Egypt, Muhammad Ali. The letter in question (along with two others) was published in an anonymous translation in Volume VIII of „Dziennik Wileński” in 1829 (one year after the original publication in French).
