His finances are not just now in a very flourishing state and although Europe has settled the hereditary succession of Egypt upon him, still the besotted Sultan nor the bigoted and fanatic Turks have not. The Pasha is getting all his means together for War, for fight he and Egypt will to the death against Russian domination at Constantinople. Think of setting your museum elsewhere, it will never take here. The Pasha's Policy is English now, not French. War has broken out again with China which all men could see must inevitably happen except Lord Palmerston & Capt. Elliott".
