Paris,
29 June. The newspaper Journal des Débats published some tidings from
her correspondent at Marseille dated 21 June. At Marseille arrived a ship,
which left Alexandria 31 May with on board 157 men, belonging to the crew of
the frigate Guerriere, which latter ship recently was send from Marseille to
the Pasha of Egypt. The same day departed 4 French ships escorted by an
Austrian brig, leaving rear admiral De Rigny behind, who was involved in
important meetings with the Egyptian government. Rumours were according to a
letter that De Rigny made the Pasha clear that he objected to the departure of
the Egyptian fleet towards Morea. Agents of the Pasha which were apparently
known with this rumours didn’t say anything, and didn’t do anything, presumably
by lacking finances.
