and The allied fleets will continue to blockade
all the Russian ports until the Car rs starved

sacrifices of life; itprotects Turkey sufficiently
against new invasion; it cannot raise such en-

the Russians. In fact, II would be novel aud
most presaie way of carrying on a war withc1k
any rick, excitement or slaughter; war weAld

The Pasha of Egypt seems to have been in
spired by the old Pharaobs as regards the impor-
tance of public works. He has resolved to con-
tinue the railway between Alexandria and Cairo
and to carry it to Suez, which is its natural and
final terminus. This railway connecting tho
Mediterranean with the Red Sea- will be Of the
same Importance for the Old World as the Pan
anna Rail way Is for America. At the same time
he has granted charter to Mr. Lesseps late
French Consul General in Egypt, and cousin 70
the Empress of France, for building ship.csnal
across the Isthmus of Suez. The English En-
bassy at Constantnople strongly opposed the
charter, which must be approved by the Saltan
before it becomes valid, but the late Ministerial
crisis was turned to account by the French
Charge Mr.. Benedetti, and the frman 10 said to
have obtained the consent and signature Of the
Sultan.

to be formed in Heligoland, principally of natives
of Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck, Holstein, Olden-
