only object is to protect the Khedive and
Egypt against rebels Great Britain Is de-
termined to suppress the rebellion and re-
store order. l beg you will warn the SOL
diers not to obey the rebel commanders.

compsnYing him as traitors to their SOW
ereign aud enemies Of themselves and their
country. SEYMOUR"
