popular movement to subject

it back into the condition of a misgoverned Egypt again to a second Ismail, or to drive Turkish province, or to leave ita administra tion to the chance caprices of the military chief of the day, or to purchase anarchy in the name of the supremacy of a National Party."

The growth of the so-called “Na- tional Party" in Egypt may therefore become the pretext for the destruction of those geras of constitutional Go- verament which have already been sown. Referring to the risk run of returning to the absolutism of an aristocratic and army-led Chamber of Notables, the article of An English Resident in Egypt thus concludes: --"If this semblance of a constitution is only used

a

specious tool for military aggran- disement, the next scene witnessed in Egyptian history will be a despotism such as that of Mohammed Ali, or of Napoleon I but happening at a period long after the people had been once triumphantly freed from the oue sort of despotismo, and yet long before it has acquired the independent energy needed to chake off the other."
