"Mamlouk et Hussard Républicain" or "General Result of Bonaparte's Attack upon Ibrahim Bey's Rear-Guard" is a satirical print by the British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. James Gillray (1756–1815) was a prominent and influential political cartoonist known for his sharp wit and often biting social commentary, which he conveyed through his art. His work often targeted political figures and events, and he is considered one of the forefathers of political cartooning.

This particular print by Gillray is believed to have been produced around 1798-1799, during the period of the French Revolutionary Wars when Napoleon Bonaparte led the French campaign in Egypt and Syria. The artwork is a satirical depiction of a skirmish between a French Hussar, representing the French Republic, and a Mamluk warrior, symbolizing the forces of the Ottoman Empire, which included Egypt at the time.

The print reflects the European fascination with the exoticism of the East, as well as the political intrigue surrounding the French military expeditions. Gillray's work captures the clash of cultures and military prowess, with a focus on the dramatic and often brutal nature of the conflict. The caricature serves not only as a piece of political satire but also as a historical commentary on the events of the time, illustrating the complexities of the power struggles between the emerging French Republic and the established Ottoman forces.

"Mamlouk et Hussard Républicain" is a testament to Gillray's skill in using humor and caricature to comment on the political and military events of his day. The print remains an important example of late 18th-century British satirical art and provides insight into the public perception of international affairs during a tumultuous period in European history. As with many of Gillray's works, this print is held in high regard for its artistic merit, historical significance, and its role in the development of political cartooning.
