106 THE KHEDIVE'S EGYPT. Will he long continue to submit to this abdication of the highest functions of govern- ment, and entrust them to foreign hands ? Time alone can tell.

Mehemet Ali, as an Albanian, was really more Greek than Turk, though professing and reared in the latter faith, in which he brought up his family also.
