The Suez, Canal. —The Paris correspondent of the Observer writes :—“ I told you in my last that Nubo Pasba was in Paris for the purpose of purchasing the Suez Canal, I now learn that tiie Emperor is decidedly opposed to this scheme, and for this reason. It is supposed that Egypt is more inclined towards England than towards i ranee. The Suez Canal originated with the political view of counterbalancing the influence of England. It was a Erench scheme, and was intended as a French engine. The Pasba of Egypt in possession of the canal would compietly upset all the Emperor’s projects, and he is consequently opposed to it. Auba Pasha is now in .London, aud it will be curious to watch his movements.”
