Paris was worth a mass in the eyes of Henri IV; Egypt is not worth a few thousand soldiers say the French it is questionable if the nation comprehends what interest their country has in the Suez Canal; only 3 per cent. of French ship ping passes through, and the State has no mone- tary interest therein, as is the case with England, Commanding the water cocks at Cairo, having Cyprus, Alexandria, nnd Aboukir, at one end, and Aden, &c. at the other, England can easily allow all the navies of the world to become tugs for their merchant marine, fron Suez to Fort Said.
