Of the war had declared themselves ready
to act together for the maintenance OF the
Of Turkey, England would have
Joined them. Unfortunately, they could
not or would not. Then aEngland, from
OF superior interests, was
obliged 10 guarantee the integrity OF the
Porte's Asiatic possessions. Seizing the
Dardanelles would have wounded the
susceptibility Of Europe; taking
Egypt or occupying the extremities
Of the sueI Canal would have hurt the
feeling Of France. She decided there.
fore upon occupying Cyprus. France on
the absolute necessity i'm
posed on England, will soon see that the
occupation Of Cyprus was only suggested
to England by her ardent desire TO re.
concile her absolute interests with the
sympathies OF France.
