It has been.thought very strange, that the French
Government should have published the Letter writ.
ten by SEBASTIAN!, as it seems entirely to deve.
lope its design of making a future Expedition to
Egypt. But it is not improbable, that it, may be
published in the hope, that the British Government.
willinfer, that if; rance really intended to under.
take another Invasion of Egypt, she would not have
given to the World sti complete a discovery of its
views : while she, in faa, atixiously resolves upon
the measure, and means to take the ,first opportu.
nity 'of carrying it into effeEt. It is difficult to ac-
count for.tite publication in question• upPP any otir
principle ; but we trust that the British Govern.
ment know too well the cliaraaer or France to be
betrayed by. so shallow an artifice, which, indeed,
in that point of view, would be an insult upon the
understanding of, this Country.
