TUE KHEDIvR AND THE RMPRRoR
CoRRRsroNDENr-Of course His Highness
the Khedive has called upon Your Majesty.
DON PsDRo-Os, yes dined with him the
same evening. He seems to be q man Of
great tact aud suavity as well as strong COM
mon sense. Certainly he is the greatest ruler
Egypt ever had. not even excepting bis cele-
brated ancestor, Mehemet Ali. What his
grandfather won by the sword the Khedive

keeps and improves by the arts Of peace. II
Is good thing to SEQ a ruler so rich who de-
votes his revenue, pablic and private, to tho
good Of his people. One of the most sur
prising things to me in Egypt was to flud
weR paved and shaded carriage road leading
from Cairo to the Pyramids, and all built at
The private expense of the Khedive for the
good of his foreign visitors.
WILL NOT 90 TO TURKEY.
CoRnEspoNDENr-Does Your Majesty intend
visiting Turkey9
DOM PEDRo-I did so intend, but the preva-
lence of cholera postponed my visit. do not
feel justified in taking any needless risks.
WILL NOT 60 UP THE NILE EITHER
CoRREsPoNDRNr-Your Majesty will go up
the Nile, supposeP
Dom PEDRo-No, sir; prefer the Egypt
Of 1871; nor have the time.
CORRESPONDENCE see copy of Gasigaani,
containing an interview with Mr.. Seward,
from the New YORK HERALD, on your table.
Has Your Majesty read it9
Dom PEDRo-I did, with interest. Mr.
Seward has been great traveller, and seems
to have thoroughly improved bis opportunities
for observation. l shall not be able to go SO
far as he has DONE BY the way, l suppose I
am now being
''INTERvIEwED,"
which, believe, is the term.
CoREEsPoNpENT-Yes, Your Majesty; but
will with pleasure submit my manuscript to
your secretary If there should be anything
you may wish expunged.
DON PEDRo--Thank you; but, perhaps, it
will not matter have been in o constant
state Of interview" all my life, and conse-
quentIy say nothing am not willing to have
made public. 1t is rather novel; though, to
find a correspondent of tho
NEW YORK HERALD UNDER THE SHADOW OF
THE PYRAMIDS.
CoRREsPoNDEET-They are very enterpris-
ing men, the HERALD correspondents, aud go
everywhere.
THE EMPERoR's OPINION OF AMERICAN SHIP
PING INTEREST
DoM PEDRo-Well, you are an enterprising
people and deserve the great prosperity you
enjoy. There are many Americans in Brazil,
and when Mr. William Garrison fairly COM
mences his steamship line we expect more.
But he is compelled to build his ships in Eng
land. That is bad. Your shipping interest il
of more Importance than the revenue gained
by taxation, which, after all, you are SO rich
you do not need. But must ask you to ex.
cuse me now, as am engaged 10 receive the
Prince Heretier at this hour. wish you good
morning.
TAKING LEAVE.
And with this Dom Pedro dAlcautara rose
to his imperial feet and bowed me to the door
with great emprsssemsnt. The Emperor looks
In fne health hale aud hearty, although well
along in years. He is little like Zach
Chandler in contour Of countenance and beard,
but q much better locking man than that
Michigan potentate. The imperial party leave
Egypt on the 18th for the Holy Land and
Italy, thence home.
