4. To lay down the continuation of the Canal as far as the basin of Lake Timsah, which is intended to serve as an inland port. 5. Works to be performed in rendering Lake Timsah fit for the object proposed. To give the length of the quay walls. In its passage through Lake Timsah, the Canal must be excavated of a greater breadth than in the rest of its course, in order to allow the vessels to lay at the quays without obstructing the passage. These quays are to be established, as far as possible, in the neighbourhood of the fresh water canal. 6. Course of the Maritime Canal from Lake Timsah to Lake Menzaleh. 7. The works to be executed along Lake Menzaleh, or in the lake itself, for the course of the Canal. 8. Is the opening of the Canal into the Mediterranean to be at the opening of the ancient Pelusiac branch? 9. To specify particularly the kind, nature, and dimensions of the works that will have to be executed in jetties, moles, breakwaters, reservoirs, retaining basins, &c. in order to obviate the objections made up to the present time, as to the difficulties or alleged impossibilities, proceeding from alluvial deposits on the coast, and the choking up of the opening of a Canal into the Mediterranean. This part of the scheme must be based upon incontestable proofs, exemplifications, and calculations. 10. What is the bulk of water that will enter the Maritime Canal from the Red Sea at each tide? 11. What advantage may be derived from the height of the tides, both in the course of the Maritime Canal, in the basin of the Bitter Lakes, and at the Pelusiac mouth? 12. To calculate for the Maritime Canal at a breadth of 100 _metres_ at the level of low water in the Mediterranean, with liberty to reduce it to sixty-five or seventy _metres_, in those few instances where the necessary excavations and removals would be too considerable. The water line, or depth, is to be calculated at six, at seven, and at eight _metres_, all below the level of low water in the Mediterranean, in order that the Company may choose, according to the expense, that one of the three depths which shall be most advantageous to its interests, combined with those of the navigation. 13. To obviate the objections relative to the difficulties of navigation in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Pelusium. 14. To make a rough estimate of the _maximum_ of all the expenses, and to state the probable date when the Canal can be opened for navigation.
