b m and his Sovereign should be prolonged, and if the
issue of that contest should be unfavourable to him, he
might loose everything by his too obstinate resistance.
" That in this view, and in order to make the re-
cent exercise of the sovereign authority of the Sultan
useful towards effecting an early and satisfactory
settlement of pending questions, it is the opinion of
her Majesty's Government that it would be expedient
that the representatives of the Feur Powers at Con-
stantinople should be instructed to proceed to the
Turkish Minister, and state to him that their respec-
tive Governments, in pursuance of the stipulations of
the seventh article of the separate act annexed to the
treaty of 15th July, beg strongly to recommend to the
Sultan that, if Mehemet Ali should at an early period
make his submission to the Sultan, and should agree
to restore the Turkish fleet, and to withdraw his troops
from Syria, from Mans, Candia, and the Holy Cities,
the Sultan should not only reinstate Mehemet Ali as
Paella of E:ypt, but should also give him an hereditary
tenure in that paclialic, according to the condi:ions spe-
cified in the treaty of July, and liable, of course, to for-
feiture by any infraction of those conditions on the part
of Mehemet Ali, or his sucussors.
" Her 'Ma;esty's Government have reascn to hope
that this suggestion will meet the concurrence of the
Governments of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, and your
Excellency will accordingly take the steps pdnted nut
in this despatch, as soon as your colleagues shall have
received corresponding instructions.
" If the Sultan should.consent to act upon this advice
tendered to him by his Four Allies, it would be expe-
dient that be should take immediate steps for making
his gracious intentions in this respect known to Mehe-
met Ali, and your Excellency and Sir Robert Stepford
should afford the Turkish Government every facility
which they may require for this purpose.
