are of a nature thas can only be revealed

Gen. Hood has it not in his power to obey

EaYPT.-The Viscompte E. de Rouge
has addressed letter to NJ. lie Due de No,
ray, in which he gives, compressed into a
few columns, the summary<of his SIX
months labor in Egyptian arch@ologyrT
Were we to attempt to ana!yse summary
already so condensed, We should fail to give
our readers an idea of the talent that has
been exerted, the enormous. field that has
been subjected to search, or the grandeur of
the results which have beepsobtaine -
The commission. consisted of NJ. 3. de
Rouge and son Of NJ. +Wescher, with a
speciality for Greek Inscriptions; Of M. de
Bauvile, the photographer; finally Of the
we'll known NJ. Mariette, as archaologist
and savant. In the course of their. six
months work, they traversed, Africa from
Tunis to the Little Cataract Of the Nile,

turing, we might almost say creating, a
new history, on their way They have veri.
fed historical facts belonging to the ago of
the fourth dynasty of Egypt, 600 years or
so before the time of Abraham; they have
thrown new light on the history ofthe shep-
herd kings, who constitute the point the
contact between sacred and secular litera-
ture at that period.
Going on through the succession ofdynas-
ties, the commission reached the Greek age,
and studied the influence of EUROPEAN art
on the African mysteries, and even from the
times when Egypt was thoroughly Roman
lied, they have gathered fresh matter for
observation, and have traced the existence
of the primitive religion under the spurious
mysticism of the Roman, Egyptian religion.
Some of their observations will, it is hoped,
clear up to considerable extent the diff
culties which beset our knowledge of the
aboriginal races of the Mediterranean shore,
to whom tradition teaehesus to ascribe the
origin of the Greek and Latin peoples
Altogether, we may shortly expect a work
to be produced unequaled as yet in that
line of archaeology work which will lead
Us through the "dswy dawn" of history a,
mong the the strange and awful figures of
these early Egyptian kings, who must have
been. contemporaries of shem, Ham and
