What does your Majesty consider the
original cause OF the trouble? q
will explain. There have been 10 all
the Egyptian public departments great
number of English and French employees,
appointed and kept in place by the ipauence
OF English and French CONTROLLERS, and these
employees prohted enormously BY the abuse
of their places, which they held to the ex-
clusion Of the Arabs. They constantly ex.
tended their own privileges and increased
their preference, until Arab. who was then
Colonel in the service, complained to the
khedive. In this way breach occurred be.
tween Arab and the Khedive, and difficulties
arose which might easily have been arranged

What does your Majesty think of the

It was most cruel and unjust. The Eug-
lish forbade the Egyptians to fortify their
own work., ard then, while defsnseless,
opened fire upon them. This was an unjust,
inhuman act, AID contrary to the law of na
tons. The English claim that they were
dealing with rebels. In that case it was
Enslands duty to inform the sovereign
power, to leave the settlement to that
authority, instead of taking the law into her
own hands, which she had no right to do.
The English say there ia 10 justice among us,
yet let Us look at Ireland. highlands Irish
cub ects are simply demanding right which,
here in Turkey, is universally granted to the
people. Such troubles as the irish agrarian
riots would be impossible in Turkey. England
boasts OF her superior justice, yet we have,
what she does not grant te her subjects, an
equitable land law, under which farmers, and
even farm laborers. are protected in their
rights. When the Roumarians obtained
