  The Anglo-French Note to the Khedive (The Nation, February 9, 1882)
The note presented by the French and English Consuls-General to the Khedive lays down certain lines of policy which comprise a distinct augury of future events.
The note of the Governments specifically says that the meeting of the Chamber of Notables has afforded a fresh occasion for the English and French Governments to exchange their views once more as to the policy to be pursued.
The Western Consuls-General here saw, that in the case of any further military pressure, which is every day on the cards, and of which symptoms are almost incessantly coming to the surface, the Khedive would be reduced to a position of formidable weakness.

Ismail Pasha, known as Ismail the Magnificent (December 31, 1830–March 2, 1895) was khedive of Egypt from 1863 until he was removed at the behest of the British in 1879.
Tewfik Pasha (1852-1892) was a khedive of Egypt.
Despite the grand title, there was little for Emin to do; his military force consisted of a few thousand soldiers who controlled no more than a mile's radius around each of their outposts, and the government in Khartoum was indifferent to his proposals for development.

For 17 years after he was deposed as the khedive of Egypt by British occupation authorities, Abbas Helmi II succumbed to an irresistible urge to regain his throne or any other throne in the Arab region.
The first was the Khedive Ismail who ruled from 1863 until he was deposed in 1879, after which he lived in exile until his death in 1895.
Furthermore, during the war the former khedive had shown a certain antagonism to France and, in fact, his envoy to Paris at the time had to be arrested because of his hostile activities.

This had its effect, and though the unfortunate Khedive was doing his best to meet his engagements, he was denounced as a fraudulent borrower and a monster, while pathetic appeals besieged the governments of England and France to come to the rescue of the poor ill-used creditors of Egypt.
The lands of the Khedive and his family, amounting in all to about one million acres, were forced from him by the same process as in other instances, and were given in absolute title to the government.
The Khedive for many years broke through the trammels that environed him, and was in the midst of successful reform, never hesitating to strike down superstitions when they stood in his way, and only when fate decreed against him did he fall.

Khedive Ismail (r.1863-1879), the ambitious and unscrupulous prince who succeeded viceroy Said on the throne of Egypt, managed in 16 short years to bring about his country’s bankruptcy as well as his own downfall.
El-Muffatish became the khedive’s main agent in the management of his estates and the arm that reached deep into the pockets of the fellahin peasants to extract the last few piasters that they may have been hiding to feed their families.
Whether Khedive Ismail was aware of El-Muffatish’s treachery and bided his time or had genuinely trusted him will never be known, but the Khedive kept El-Muffatish near him during all his tribulations to extract himself from the claws of his European creditors.
