EGYPT.

2 IoEpoS, April "a England and France
have addressed the KhediYe an identical
note. The Sultan has already informed
the Khedive that persistence in his present
course will probably involve him In con-
sequences disastrous to himself.
The note sent to the Khedive demands
the appointment Of an English Minister
and French Minister, TO take the places
Of Rivers Wilson and Blignieres, and that
they shall not be removed, except with
the consent OF England and France. II
the Khediye refuses this demand, strong
measures will be adopted.
The Standard says: "0ne point was
brought out with irresistible force in the
Blue Book Of Egypt published yesterday.
Neither by fair means, nor BY foal, can
the Khedive pay the interest on his debts,
and the sooner that fact is looked fairly in
the face, the better for all concerned"
