I am told he may be useful in case of any difficulty, but it is a bad plan to let these people go ashore to buy provisions, as they sometimes frighten the natives, who are so much used to be under forced contributions, that they dread the sight of a Janizary. Your servants, also, if they are not honest, will use the Janizary's name, to get food and provisions, without paying for them. The stream here is wide and rapid. The view of Cairo, with the chain of the Mokattan, the sand-cliffs above it, and the tombs and mosques rising into the blue sky, is very striking. We passed powder magazines of the Pacha's, and a railroad he has made, on which, however, there is no steam. Stone for building is the...
