The rumour that the Arabs are intrench- ing at Helipolis, a few miles east of Cairo, suggests the possibility of a very striking coincidence. It would certainly be a very singular instance of “history repeating itself” were the fate of Egypt to be a second time decided upon the same field that wit- nessed the final overthrow of the Mame- lukes by Napoleon Bonaparte, who on that occasion encouraged his soldiers with the now well-known apostrophe, ‘From the summit of yonder pyramids forty centuries are watching you.” The battle, though fought against overwhelming odds, was not doubtful for a moment. The Mamelukes dashed themselves against the serried squares of French) infantry, flung their dis- charged pistols in the faces of the Grena- diers, and tried to wrench away ,the bayouts with their bare hands, while ever the wounded dragged themselves along the ground to hack with their short swords at the limbs of the soldiers. But all their efforts were in vain. The relling fire of the French thinned their ranks, and at length the whole Egyptian army gave way. The bulk of the. fugitives fled towards Cairo, and perished by hundréds in thy the waters of the Nile, many of the eorpses being afterwards fished’ np and rifled by the French conquerors. This’ victory gave Napoleon his Oriental nickname of ‘* Sul- tan-el-Kebir’ (King of; Fire). It is a striking proof of the admiration of the Eastern. races for strength in. any form that not a tew of the Mamelukes who sur- _vived the battle were to be found later on in the ranks of the French Imperial Guard, one of them, Rustam, Achualiy becoming } Napoleon’s most trusted servant. THE CITY OF CAIRO. | There are few places on which the hand of wocern improvements has fallen more heavily than on Cairo. A very short time ago it was an Arab city, within walls, hav- ing gates like a medigval fortress, and ' narrow, unpaved streets often ending in blind alleys. The Europeans dwelt apart in the westmost quarter “reund an open ‘space of irregular form called the Rosetti |Garden. The Coptic quarter was to the | north-west, the Persian to the north-east. There was long suburb southward towards the mounds of Cairo,” and the “‘port” of Boolak by the river's side was abonta mile and a half west | of thecity. Between them stretched a wide lake, the Esbekich, which half the year | was a. mere swamp, and beside it were a few palages, and among them which the French General Kieber was actually building when he was assassi ,and which aferward be- | came an hotel. Round the hotel were a number of large sycamores, under whose mans were spread in the sight of the tour. ists. In those days, say fifteen years ago! Greenlees Brothers, and have selected at most, the Moosky, the principal street ed, aes torbured,. Be rep from the vats, samples of their Lorne of the European quarter, called after the {*buncdant; he lives a life of ease; he is free t» Kantarette Moosky, a bridge over the canal | built by a Vizier of that name in the time The samples were very fraztant, mellow, ' of Saladin, was covered overhead by board- | ing to keep out the sun, and was entered | from the Esbekich, through a great vaulted gateway. Now the Mooksy has paved side- |walks, is macadamized, has no boarding overhead, and no gateway at the end. ‘Then, when the carriage of some great ' Pasha came by, you turned your hack for! fear ladies might be in it, as you would be | in danger of life or liberty if you were ‘detected looking at them. Now ladies of the upper rank drive about very much as they do here, and various princesses are | well known by sight ; indeed, net very long: lago two Turkish ladies appeared riding on horseback in the Shoobra road.

IL--NO; 190 gardens and grounds of the palace extanded to the canal, which then, as naw, led from the Nile right through the city. The bridge which we mentioned above is lined with houses, so that many people who now drive along the Moosky to the bazaar have as littie ‘idea -that they are crowing a bridge as that the Khan Khalil is. the burial-place wf the Fatimite Khalifs. Here, in the great walled garden, was the resting place of the bodies brought by Al Mw jaz from Cairoan in 972,and here he and his descendants were buried. When the Fati- mites came to an end, and orthodoxy was re-established, these old graves were no more venerated than the hurial-place of Alired in Hyde Abbey at the suppression of the monastries. Theground which they occupied, in the heart of what had by this time become a great city, was very valu- able. We néed not wonder, therefore, that when in 1292 G-harkis Al Khalili ob- tained a grant of the land, no one inter: fered to prevent him from digging up the bodies of Al Mu’izz and his relatives. and. throwing jthem out on the mounds_of rubbish to the cast of the city. But the people attributed it to the best judgment of Allah upon him that, being ‘killed’ ih a Synan battle, his body was exposed the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and never receivea burial at the hands of his companions. His. bazaar has. been much itaproved in the modern sense, arid has, like the Moosky, lost half its beauty in the process. The military @espotism which now. once more threatens Cairo is only a repetition of the historv of the middle ages down to the Turkish conquest in 1516. Successive armies mutinied under successive generals, who in their turn built themselves mausoleums in which they were but seldom interred after their inevitable assassination. It has been pointed out that until now a force of Tarks has always been in the pay of the Pasha of Egypt, who has, therefore, since the time of Mohammed Ali, been able to maintain a position which the present Viceroy cannot hold, having no ‘soldiers but of one kind. He. thus resem- bles the rulers of Egypt before the Turkish conquest. when king after king was mur- dered by his Memlooks, or killed in battle bya rival. Thereis hardly a street corner in the old city without its tradition of blood; There is hardly a minaret which does nat mark the scene of some tragedy. Al Makrizi as quoted by Mr. Kay, offers an unpleasant pictare.of life in Caro in the thirteenth cen- tury.
