but is a dissenter in this respec :
that he does not intend that his
strength shall die, in sitting still.
He leaves that strategy to France
and England. He fears 10 more
I the Sultan, than the allies; he
knows the Padiehah 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 not
eat dog, nor Islam Islam. Arab.
who from being a 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,
1 are unmeaSured in their denuncia-
lions Of the bungling and pusillan-
unity of their respective govern
ments. The Ci0iS RomQnuS has
become a joke.
England and France are blamed
for their empty threats, the last con-
lduct to pursue when dealing with
lOrientalS. They are blamed for
their ignorance of the power Arab
represented; they demanded the ex-
pulsiOn of Warwick without being
assured of their ability to secure it.
In return, he is in fair way of be-
coming a Padichah on his own az
count. His rapid rise is hkened to
that of Mahomet's; he has his stand
ing army at Alexandria, but he is
organizing another for mis- own
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 ga llah be praisedl' at
his success over the infdels. 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.
Ny 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 eVel
} who wants to shake off the yUke oi
the ghi9vouS. The allies wished te
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
I House its chances of success will bt
more hopeful. The two important
: clauses are, that in case of divorce
the parents must settle half theil
fortunes on the children, and the
separated wife be free to retain heI
married name
The communists form a strange
