OUR FRENCH LETTER.

We are commencing to settl,
down somewhat to common sense
The collapse of Arab and his ma
tionalist party has wonderfully
tanned the Anglo-phobists. NJ, d.
| LessepS is rumored to be Ill, which
IS not at all surprising; he may be &
good engineer, but as politician
his reputation is gone. He took
Arabs side against the KhediVe
the legal ruler of Egypt, and swore
the fellaheen were only in theiI
| 1889 crisis. Ne Sattor ultra creptdana
AS ridicule kills, so the bursting OF
the national movement in Egypt
dlsarms almost retolt against those
journals and strata of society, that
were prepared to deyour ye English,
even without pinch of salt.
There are but too many reasons
! for the French feeling deeply
panied at their bIunder in so ques-
tionably DESERVING England in her
Intervention in Egypt. Il is the
! feeling human nature experiences
IN presence of a rival carrying off
the gros lathe grand prize, the
gaining of which was predicted to
be surrounded with more teryors
than the united difficulties associ-
ated with the dozen labors of Her
cules, but which turned out-in pres
ence of smart Highland reel and an
Irish Jig O. fifteen minutes dura-
ton by Shrewsbury clock, in the
trenches of Tel-el-Kebir, to be next
to delusion. The arm chair and
port wine strategists that con-
demned Sir Garnet before knowing
his plan, now swear by him; in
fallible military critics find their oc-
cupation somewhat like Othello's,
gone.
The French have been "sold," but
by one of their own: NJ. de Frey
clnet sent an important military
officer to examine the Arab move
ment; he made such a fee, faW, fun
report as to make de Freycinet's
white hair even whiter,andito induce
the French feet to be ordered away
from Alexandria, strange way of
backing friends, think more than
Englishmen. Arab, according to
that official-a disciple doubtless Of
M. de Lesseps, was William Tell,
Homer, a Canaris, or Bolivar
perhaps all combined. England
alone took his measure-an adven
turer Of the worst species, meriting
MarWood's best drop scene as the
only mercy for the crimes he insti.
gated and the misery he organized.
If he be reprieved let him be sent,
not to Eliza, but to a st. Helena.
The set now made on victorious
England for restoring order in
Egypt, and VINO can boast as Corio-
Janus when he futtered the Val
sciaur "a love [ did it," is to call
upon her to surrender somewhat the
advantages her pluck and loyalty
have won to those who shi1ked the
danger and intrigued to thWart her
measures of giving lesson to fan
atheism, and putting an end to the
pleasantly of Turkish sway in
Egypt; if England does not "stand
and deliver" she is menaced with
excommunication major by a con-
ference. She does not want to an
mex or protect Egypt, but to set
things III apple pie order, like Aus
tria In Bosnia and France in Iun-
isia. "Convey, the wise CALI this
perhaps. England cannot too plainly |
give notice to all whom it may con
Germ, that she stands in need Of helps |
in the way of medicine men and |
sayiours Of society; that she will
recognize Egypt in her own way, in
the interests Of all not forgetting
number one. She is now the first
power in the east, and being mari
timely stronger than all the united
conference people, she intends to
keep a grip on what she has so bril-
Liantly won. She must be proof
against cajolery, Indifferent to flat
terry, and suspicious of allies. Ris-
ing suns have ever adorers.
Egyptian stocks are now more in
than French fives and threes
and Suez shares, run up, thanks to
NJ. de Lesseps' "barbarism," Eng
and, whom his countrymen at
asst believe has no desire to in
lure canal, which is needed
and supported by four-fifths
Of her shipping trade. 1t is con-
summation deYoutly wished for
even here, that the double control
will not be renewed, France having
declined to support her right by
arms, but that England will un- :
lesitatingly assume the supreme
direction of Egyptian finances,
out to each debtor his due.
The Prime Minister M. Duclerc,
IS busily occupied-letter writing
% everybody. He really believes in
5he success of that Sisyphian task
'econciling the disunited republic
ms. AS proof, the radicals, and
hey rule, in the sense of preventing
others from ruling, threaten to turn
lin out when parliament re-
