since the enterprise was started. English diplo-
macy has been indefatigable in attempts to de-
feat the Fr. nch plans. The strong attachment
Of Said Pasha to the French interest made an
Intervention of the Porte impossible. The
rights of sovereignty, which Turkey claims over
Egypt. arc i'll defined; and Said Pasha, at the
instigation of France night have refused TO
acknowledge the right Of the Sultan TO issue
such an ORDER and complications would hive en-
sued, which England at oil events was
anxious to avoid, SO long as there was chance
to attain the same end by peaceable means.
This, it seems, has been found in the accts'
sion of Ismsel Pasha to the viceregal throne.
The new Pasha is devoted to the English In
terest. and, backed by a promise OF English
support, has concerted with the Porte this
blow against France. Semi-ofcial papers oil
France still talk Of possible explanations; and
efforts will undoubtedly be made greater than
ever before, to dslodge the English influence
both in Turkey and in Egypt; but, TOR the
present, the Sultan's order looks like sig.

France may be put to severe test by this
