So, assume that Napoleon Bonaparte and Jean-Baptiste Kléber are more successful in their Egyptian Expedition. As a PoD, i propose a French victory at the Battle of The Nile (1798), or at least no destruction of the French fleet at it. The expeditionary army's supply problem is vastly reduced as a result of this, and they attain more projection power into Syria.

What are the effects on British India, the Ottoman Empire, and the French Republic?
