he obtained of the troopships having entered the Canal
wee ohtuned from some Austrian guars who were taken
prisoners at Aboukir Fort it being thought that they
were English. It was then too late to do anything, as
wes already in our posussior. The nitwit is
that the French are as unpopular with the National as
they are with the Khedive's party. During the ma,
