The Great Questions Of Foreign
Policy Approaching a SOIu-
tiOn for Good or Harm.
The French and Egyptian Govern
ments-A Critical Stage of
the Question.

LONDON, june 19.-The Times
aprepos of the speech by Sir Stafford
Northcote, at the anniversary banquet
Of the Tower Hamlets Constitutional
Association, which discusses ques-
tons now engaging the governments
attention from a point Of view Of the
probable carly dissolution of parlia
ment, says: 1t is obvions that on
all sides there arc indica-
tons of the approach of a great cleo
tOral struggle. The great questions
Of foreign policy which have
occupied the mind of the country for
the lastfewyears are rapidly approach
ing a solution either for good or harm.
When the time comes for the English
to say how the ministers have dis
charged their trust they will not fail
to bear in mind the difficulties the
government has had to encounter, as
well as their method of dealing with
them 1t is premature, as the chan
cellor of the exchequer intimated, to
form a final judgment on the whole
case, but it is also evident from his
speech that the ministry feel hal the
moment for prOuouncing such judg-
ment is not far of.
In the course of the foregoing arti-
Gle the Times makes the following
reference to the dispatch from Alex
andria, stating that the French consul
would proceed in full uniform to
the palace to announce that the
French government has decided to
insist upon the deposition of the
khedive 1t is not to be supposed
that the French government would
have taken a step of such Importance
without the consent or a%cquiescence
Of our government, and if it has been
taken at all, we have entered upon a
new and very critical stage of the
Egyptian question"
