Unsatisfactory News
IsoSDos, Dec. 27.-Ths news FROM
Egypt Ia not Of the most satisfactory
character. Il appears that Wellesley has
decided 90 abandon the attempt 10
reach Shendy by the desert route, thus
cutting OF the great bend Of the Nile.
The difficulties In the way seem too
great TO be snrmounted With the re-
sources at his command. Instead of the
desert route he will use che Meraveh
route TO BeFber. likewise through the
desert. but much shorter than the other.
Hs has accordingly changed his base
from korti 10 Merawsh. This change
pisces the relief of khartoum two
months further into the future than
was expected. General Wellesley Ia far
from satisfied with the arrangements
for the expedition. He has SAINT furious
complaints 10 the War Oflice Of the In
efficiency and absolute break down Of
the transport and commissary service.
