After that discovery the Mediterranean ports lost their commerce, and the trade between India and Europe fell into the hands of the Dutch and the English. Every one predicted that the digging of a canal through the Isthmus of Suez would be a very bad thing, so far as the English monopoly was concerned, for the East Indian traffic.

Hence the t English would have nothing to do with the enterprise, and would have prevented it if they could. ; But they could not, and they presently found to their astonishment not only that the canal was a success, but also that they were almost the only people using it.
