lowed the expedition Of 2,ooo imperial troops aud

The Khedive at once the great military faclli-
ties IN the Red Sea and all along the Isthmus which
the SueZ Canal offered the Porte, and he ordered
three ports be erected, az Port Sald second

done some months ago with great secrecy, but the
fact came to the knowledge of the Porte ana Nevrez

sent to Egypt, to ask the Khedive for
the necessary explanations. Ncvrez Pasha
