THE EGYPTIAN TRIBUTE.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The reason the Russians |
demand for the Egyptian tribute concerns
England, is that the tribute is already pledged |
as security for interest on the Turkish loans of |
1886 and 1871. The first of these was raised |
to carry on the Crimean war. The second is |
guaranteed by England and France. All are |
largely held in England by terms Of agreement !
between Turkey and the British government |
and bondholders. Egypt now pays the tribute |
directly to the banks of England. The Russian !
proposals will abrogate this convention with
assignation, and make the English and French |
governments liable for the 1855 loan.
DKRBY's STATEMENT.
The Times, in . leading editorial, approves
in principal, Lord Derbys statement in the |
House of Lords last night, but concludes the |
government must review the final terms of |
peace very carefully, and if some of the ru-
mored conditions prove to be really demanded, |
they ought to be met by the strongest protests. !
