Arab Pasha is ranked as the Bis
marek of Egypt. He is skilled il
all the learning of the Egyptians
but is a dissenter in this respec,
that he does not intend that hi,
strength shall die, in sitting still
He leaves that strategy to Francs
and England. He fears 10 more
{ the Sultan, than the allies; he
knows the Padichah will never SEND
troops to attack fellow religionists
who in the name of the prophet, put
their fingers on the tip of the nose
towards Europeans. Dog does moi
eat dog, nor Islam Islam. Arab
who from being lieutenant, is now
promoted by events to be Ghazi
may be excused laughing at the
ludicrous position of France and
England. Indeed, we indulge in a
litter ourselves at their attitude
tempered with no unconcealed feel.
ing Of humiliation. The emigrantS
from the Nile who have arrived in
Paris, whether English or French,
are unmeasured in their denuncia-
tiOns Of the bungling and pusillan-
unity of their respective govern
ments. The Ci0iS RomGnuS has
become joke.
England and France are blamed
for their empty threats, the last con-
duct to pursue when dealing with
IOrientals. They are blamed for
their ignorance of the power Arab
represented; they demanded the ex-
pulSien Of Warwick without being
assured of their ability to secure it.
In return, he is in a fair way of be-
coming a Padichah on his own ae-
count. His rapid rise is Ikened to
that of Mahomet's; he has his stand
ing army at Alexandria, but he is
organizing another for mis- OWL
capital, Cairo, with the valley of the
Nile to retreat up, thus forming
another cataract" for explorers.
He is said to have the BedOuins in
his interest, and Mecca itself in
dulges in an "Allah be praised!" at
his success over the inidels. Alex
andria may be occupied by the
allies, but Arab commands the In-
dian route, the sensible cord, across
Egypt. He can turn off the supply
of sweet water from Port Said, and
reduce that station to its original
condition.
My informants add, that no
European is safe in Egypt from an
organized or isolated outbreak of
fanaticism, though Arab may for
the tenth time promise to be guaran-
tee for order. The paWnbrokers are
the only persons who keep open
house; but a friend in need is a
friend indeed No person attempts
to divine what solution the Congress
may arrive at. Expecting little, we
shall be blessed, while not being
disappointed. What is but too clear
is. the influence of France and Eng
land is finished in Egypt, and
Europe is in presence Of a revival
of Islamism-in North Africa be-
yond doubt. That's the secret Of
Arabs success, and the reason why
the Porte must follow his lead-in
the sense of not opposing bel ever
who wants to shake off the yoke of
the ghisveus. The allies wished TO
exile Arab; it is he who banishes
them.
The Chamber of Deputies has
voted the repeal Of the divorce law;
the debates have been so seriously
and exhaustively conducted, that
when the bill arrives at the Upper
House its chances of success will be
more hopeful. The two important
clauses are, that in case of divorce,
the parents must settle half their
fortunes on the children, and the
separated wife be free to retain her
married name
The communists form a strange
sect. Louise Michel is all for ac-
ton, for the drilling and arming Of
her sympathisers, till the psychology
ical moment comes for blazing
away at the middle classes; society
it appears viii never be perfect till
they be exterminated. Clovis HUI
CUES, the young deputy for Mar

Jacobite meetings for not making
common cause with the Faugb a.
BGLLGghS; he begged the purists to
ell his head with their ideas and
he would discharge them like al
mitrailleuse in the Chamber of
Deputies" Viewing the national
fete, the IA July, as an event wholly
intended to honor the middle class,
the communists have declared they
will neither pipe nor dance for
them; like the Speotr, there is moth

sympathy and solicitude of public
