man dominions, and under Sultan Abdul
Az Z, 1t is for him to invite sovereigns to
witness such a spectacle as the junction
of two great seas 10 his realm. And If
there are certain treaties to be made with
foreigners, they ought to be made by his
order and pIrasufe-for according 10 no
rule in The world is it allowable for Il
Cover, or, general, or khedIve, possessed
of c, rtnin privileges, under the Pndishah,
to enter on such official acts as these with
foreigners. AS to giving independence
to Egypt, that would be a violation of the
integrity Of the Ottoman Empire ratified
by treaties with the Porte aud Of the prin-
ciples Of the rights of nations Gnlerna-
tionaI Iaw).
Moreover, it is not feasible, for it must
at last depend on the force of arms, which
would cause a disturbance of The tram
guilty of the world, which would be re-
garded as a fatal calamity by Europe.
1t is not feasible, moreover, because any
one who would attempt to dismember
Turkey would ind himself opposed by
the greater part of Europe in arms, as
the integrity of the Ottoman empire is
regarded as the pivot of the balance of
power. Again, it is not feasible, because
the poor Egyptian feIahS, who are groar.-
ing under the weight of taxation and the
torture of oppression, have made their
cries heard in all parts Of Europe, and
disguised European public opinion with
Egypt. 1t is not feasible, because the
power of Egypt, compared with ours, is
very inferior, and nowadays there is no
Mehpmtt Ali at the head of the Admins
%tration, nor Ibrahim Pasha to WELD it's
arms. We have rIAed cannon and needle
guns; and as for the efficiency and valour
of the Egyptians, we have sren what they
were in Crete. Then, as TO the conduct
Of Turkey, It's right in this matter cannot
he denied, For Egypt to go begging
from door to door, with q view to getting
independence, and even 60 to Russia,
and then, without the permission of the
Padi>hah, to invite sovereigns, and en-
deavOur to alter treaties, was evidently a
violation of fealty, and Turkey was
obliged TO interfere to protect her rights
and dignity, and she has a perfect right
to withdraw her concessions owing to
this ingratitude, and there is no
doubt as to her power. In a material
sense Egypt could not encounter old
turkey. but nowadays WHat Il ulI@FeDC6
there is. We have bet little mony, Egypt
has none. Our population has decreased,
that of Egypt is near extinction. Once
the Arabs would have gone with Egypt,
but now there is no doubt, as they are
against her, that they would all come to
the help of the CaIipha' if it were in ex-
IRENE danger, to the cry of "AIIah help
the Sultan!" Then, even ~supposing Egypt

tract distinct Treaties with the great Pow
er>, and, II not legal possible, at least
in fact, to give his admins ration a shade
Of Independence and that hr had entered
into secret ~pourparIerS with both Russia
and Austria. According to the account
of La Turqule, even the word "rOyaI"
had been added over HE Egyptian post
Office 10 Cons}anlInopIr, as over The Tur-
kish, and, stranger sill If it I've true, an
alteration had been made in the Khutbe
(the prayer for The sovereignty in the
Egyptian mosques. On this the Porte,
all of a sudden, put its head Out Of the
corner Of ob.iVIonsness Ill which it had
long been, aud, as The newSpap, RS report,
protested against the whole of'the enter
prises of the Khedive in Europe, and
threatened, if Egypt persisted in Ihrs po-
Icy, Of abrogaliu@ all the concessions
made since the treaty with Mehcmet Ali
in favour of the Vic,rpy. This clearly
shows that the matter is getting serious,
and that the Government of Egypt has
shown symptoms of wishing 10 be indie
pendent. This inclination, however, is
nothing new.
1t is well known the present admins
tratiOn of Egypt, by an appearance Of de-
votion to the CalIphat, invited The Sultan
TO Egypt, presented sli pS and all sorts of
things, and increased the tribute, for The
purpose of obtaining concessions contrary
to the treaty with Mrhemet Ali and to
the Koran even. Aud lately, Ivy the pro
clamation of a sort of House of Represent
tatives and a show of liberty, it managed
to obtain credit in Europe. ...
Then the Crttan question arose. Egypt
offered a great service. She sent troops
to Crete; but subsequently ''the veil was
raised from the face of the tru h." that
is TO say, it became clear that The object
was to get Crete annexed to Egypt instead
Of 10 Greece. Obstacles, however, stood
in the way of this, aod Egypt, de>pairing
of obtaining her object, withdrew her
troops, and her intentions became mani
fest. Then the Porte began to repent Of
its former policy towards Egypt. $500.
Egypt at once began 10 desire a change
of the capitnlations with the European
Powers and her own Independence, and
even went so far as TO thiuk Of bringing
Napoleon and the rest Of the European
Sovereigus to her feet at the opening Of
the Suez Canal. Things having come to
this pass, the Porte was forced to protest.
Now, if we compare the conduct of
Egypt and hat of the Porte, we find the
first was neither right nor feasible, and
that of the second was the exact opposite.
The doings Of Egypt are unjust because
the people of modern Egypt are not a
distinct nation. They are IA portion of
the Ottoman nation, with q great part Of
which they are Of one language and race
and identified in interest; and to tear q

.deSplsed for her false conduct to herself.
If evidence be wanting Of this rapid and
improving vibration let Kiogst'n be CON
sidered merely as proving it. Within the
last year there have been many houses of
note started in it. Buildings have been
erected on fre-burnt localities. Stores
long empty now are occupied. Freeholds
