OUR FRENCH LETTER.

PARIS. August 30.

pire is commencing to gain ground
as a thing that's got to be done. 1t is
understood that England will keep
Egypt, whether morally or individ-
ualIy. it is all the same, and thus
provided for, with the Canal of

to massacre wherever the inidels
are weak. The Russian advance has
now no terTOrs.
The French commence to have a
glimpse that English Intervention
in Egypt, means security for Al
geria and TuniSia. The lombard
ment of Alexandria. where the
promised aid Of the Sultan was con-
spicuous by its absence, has already
told in TriPolitania, whore refugee
Tunisians, disguised at the desertiOn
of the pGdichGh, have solicited the
am from the French government.
AID $4,000 of the self-eXlled patriots
are returning TO the fold. Several
of the journals here avow that if the
many French advisers of Arab had
not counselled him to resist to graf
ify their hate against England, the
latter would not now have Egypt in
her grip, nor would French political
influence in the East be a matter of
ancient history. Arab, it is as
serted, will fight to save appear
ances; he complains that Turks and
French have alike "sold" him. bat
that helwill send them Parthian ar
rows by handing over to General
WolSeley a few strong boxes full of
very compromising documents.
The Anglophoblst press here con-
tinues to look upon Arab as an
e7lfd7lt peTdU, though every brush
he has with the English is recorded
as if a pitched battle, and as for the
kilograms fabricated, one is inclined
to remember, in respect to their
manufacturers what David in his
haste observed Of all men. Falstaff
complained too in his day, Of how
the world was given to lying.
Italy seems to be very down in
the mouth at the result of her rid
iculous Growing at a conference
which has ended in smoke. She has
only still further dlienated France,
but has cooled the English in her
regard. One of her own leading
papers fifty describes her position.
She took the airs Of an eagle, while
possessing only the wings of bull
finch. She has discovered also, that
in the coming position of Turkey
all the new sets are allotted in adj
vance; nothing remains for her,
but to seize corsica, Nice, Savoy
aud Trieste, a tillibustering that
France and Austria would certainly
object to. Commanding the canal
as England does, and with no desire
to block it up, its guardianship by
other powers, as Italy proposed
would lie what the0logianS call, a
work Of supererogati0n. Besides
the canal will ev,r belong, despite
all stipulatiOns, to the nation which
can close its entrance and exit by
its war ships. This truth doubtless
displeaseS many, but as Madame de
Stael observed, nothing is so foolish
as to be angry against facts, such
being Indifferent TO the passion.
Arab disposed of, what will Eng
land do with Egypt? AS guesseS at
truth, Tewiik will De maintained
the army and the colonies will be
dissolved and the army Tecast: the
international financial control will
net be superseded, but modified
But what liberty will be allowed tC
the Egyptians: that is the capita,
| question. A distinction must bt
made between the military and ths
national party, and the latter can
not be taken either in the literary
or the European sense. In the poll
teal acceptatiOn of the word, there
is no n ton in Egypt: there is il
the towns a party more or less in
structed, that has travelled, capable
Of filling certain public functions
and that it would be dangerous TO
the foreigner to exclude or to plac
in rivalry. BY enfranchiSing tn
people in proportion as they be
came educated, and not in the daZZl
and illusion Of puerile limitations 0
parliamentarism, can the futur
prosperity Of Egypt be found.
France herself plays with parlia
mentary government as ten-edge
weapon. The institution does no
work at all well. The pelitica
world is broken up into sects, eac
with its bronze, and its credo, out
side OF which there is no safety. Tn
republican deputies separated 70
vacation. agreed on the necessity G
sinking differences. 1t has anothe
Day Of Dupes. The extra-parlia
, mentary utterances reveal tina
these differences never were deepe
nor fiercer; whether at Paris. MAJ

Dl0y knuckle busters to clinch tbej
arguments, and the latter are Unite
