WI Bonaparte's Egyptian+Syrian expedition is succesful?

Let's say that Nappy is victorious in all fields, and all of his armies as well. There is little resistance to French rule and overall, the country is peacefull after Napoleon subdues it. The British can do little to intervene. He marches on Palestine and conquers Jaffa and Acre, then sending a force to take Jerusalem. He keep on throughout Lebanon and the rest of Syria, not losing even once.
What then?
 
Er, the Russians and the British send the navies to help the Ottomans and trap Napoleon in the levant with no reinforcements?

How is that waved away?
 
Well note that French troops were holding on in Egypt until fairly close to when Amiens was signed. A few months more might have left the British recognizing their position there...

(And then it falls a few years later, but shit happens, no?)
 
yea but do remember the Egyptians hated the Napoleon and as soon as he went into a mosque on a horse really signalled the end of any kind of acceptance of the French as leaders of Egypt by the Egyptians
