before it, In the teeth of this gale I had to walk, sad so

31st.—Gentlemen,—A first communication le sow epic be-
tween the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Sores the let ,
of January • daily boat service his been established from
Port Said to Sues, and between Ismail& mid &peg. At
the same time it germs blithe intermediary daturas of the
Isthmus. I have recently made sex end journeys slang the
line of works. Davies each of these I have established the
'agility of transit and have also closely obtained its re- I
cognition by the numercess &diminished visitors who have
done me the bearer to assompiny me. In a large barque
carrying fromls to JO persona end tugged by steamer for
which the company is ladebted to the liberality of his
Imperial HighaemPrince Napoleon. we aamompliabed the 150
kilometres separating the two seam in 24 hours. These facts
appeared to me of • diameter likely to attract the attention
of the differlili ithembers of commerce which, in so man
ways, are interested in the completion of the Suez CattaL
The time has arrived when commerce must be prepared for
the opening of this maritime canal to needs of large burden,
and the Sass Company calls epos it henceforth to study
with tt the means of making use of • boat service, which can
already transport igooda and 'massagers between the two
Peas along • comisevolis line of water at least one
metre twenty Moss is depth, and Mesa metresin breadth.
With this objest, isetithase, the adminidratioe of the
company has the Wefts to propose that you make choice
of a representative to reamed
actual
owstypt ill order that he
may report to you upon the state of the works,
upon the proved' presented of their sorrow:hie( concle-
uoq more especially upon the resources at present
furnished to commerce by the eatablishment of • daily ser-
vice for the trumped of persons and merchandise. Io view
of these °pastime the aceepsey hem ordered six small
steam tugs, to be delivered upon the spot in four month..
I trust these circumstances will arouse the attention of the_
Chamber of Commerce of —; and if it will afford us
the assistance raked for, it would be eonvenient that the
delegate it may choose should be it Alexandria upon the
6th of April next. I myself shall be is Egypt to receive
the delegates, and shall endeavour to afford them eve i
facility for inspecting the works on the Isthmus, and will
place at their disposal all informatioo which that may judge
necessary for the accomplishment of their minion. Re-
ceive, gentlemen, the expression of my sentiments of high
comederation. (Signed) Ferdinand de Lumps. President
of the Universal Compesy of the Sues OsoaL" This cir-
cular has base addremed to the chambers of commerce of
