| BILE for the public safety in Egypt, and
| for the due payment of our foreign debt if
he is allowed to exercise the power which
he wishes through the National Party. An
opposition to the National feeling then,
| excited by the exactions and demands of
foreign bondholders, can only succeed
through force and oppression. The
National Party, he insists, is
strong, earnest and united. BY its aid he
will be able to preserve Egypt from the
disgrace of bankruptcy, release the people
| to great extent from the onerous burdens
which they would groan under were the
plan of the Commissioners carried out, and
succeed in finally discharging the OBJ
| legations due foreign creditors The
manifesto is strong and well written
document. AS intimated in these
dispatches some days ago the effect upon
Sultan's mind of the representations made
to him by the special Envoy sent to Con-
| stantinople by the Khedive has been to
shake his determination 10 side with for
cign governments in their demands upon
the Khedive, and to incline him TO sustain
the latter in his independent course.
