1ighness, who has hastened 70 their asslss
ance as the prophet Elijah, and has eonsol-
ID and delighted people win, have for ages
'egetatcd in the shadow Of death. The
,lemas and the shieks prostratcd themselves
'ef.'fe him, expressing BY words. and ges-
ures their need ofhis assistance; and he as
'istedtheus AL were by order .ofhis High
hess clothed in raiments of honor, and he
addressed them thus:
"All The civilized nations Of the earth were
in the. state in which you are at
present. They had the happiness 10 meet
hose chosen men, beloved Of Heaven, who
marked out for them The paths of civilization
and prosperity. May Heaven have select
ed me as the instrument of your welfare, and
may draw you from this wre,ched condi-
ton! hope at the same time, you will on
your part exert yourselves toleave It. You
have a fine country, Of immense extent,
swarming with Inhabitants, your forests are
filled with tllhnimals, nay, your country is the
fnestin Africa, one Of the foe quarters Of
the world, and the advantages of abundance
and commerce are in your reach. Egypt,
which is but $50 miles long, and 24O broad,
is everywhere renowned for the plenteous-
ness Of its harves,s, but that plen.iousness1
can only be obtained by labor. Nigritia,
wi hout speaking Of the shores of the White
and .B!ue rivers, has the isle Of SEMINAR,
which is sofiiself ten times larger than Egypt.
Men eannpt thrive without iabot.n On
saying these words his Highness did all he
could to make them understand this Enda-
mental maxim.
The Viccroy then explained to them in a
manner suitable their capacity the utility
of agriculture and commerce. They agreed
in their answers that they were in stat, Of
absolute ignorance, and expressed desire
Of seeing Egyp'.
ssSeeing is one thing, and understanding
is another" replied his Highness; ''but If you
win send your children TO Egypt, will feed
Them, ctahe them, have them instructed in
the schools have founded, and when they
are grown up, ard their education is finished
my greatest sati>f,ction will be to return
then, TO your a,m~." All the shieks prom.
ised to send their children, and the Sh,ek ol
this islc said, ssYnur Highncss, | have or
children, but will sexd you my brothers
son."
The foundations Of the buildings which
will serve for the working Of the mines are
egan. Twenty engineers have been ief
| in Nigrltia, and although by. virture Of their
appointment they have been supplied with
every necessary by the Government. his
Highness has granted to each of them loo
feddans Of land, on condition that they shll
cultivate it, and they each shall instruct ia
g IL
Iarc to furnish every assistance in giving
them seed and necessary implements, thai
they may afterwards till the soil on thcii
own account.
/ The engineers are to cultivate the sugaI
cane, indigo, and cotto,, the Government
exacting no duty rntil further orders, ant
even when this duty shall he exacted, it il
not TO exceed lOper cent. His IIighnes:
especially recommends to the protection o
his ExceIency, Ahmei Pasha, all those wht
shall apply themselves to agriculture, say
| ing to him. sMy son, my eye is upon you
that NAV see That, with the aud Of God, yol
bear in mind and execute all that Il have
commanded you. If you do, your family
shall be the first amongthe families Of Egypt
Next year, If mt preyeated by business,
shall Come and sec you and my subjects.

rious task that you are about to perform. p
