10 be gwen. Baron Gers, in his circular
note to the Russian ambassadors, ex-
pressed to them his desire to maintain
European concert. Facts had been re-
vealed that serious inconvenience would
result from any system OF Anglo French
control and the perpetuation by force
OF SUCH a measure was a work Of doubt
ful character and result. Prince Bis
marck expressed his desire 70 give moral
support to England and France, but
would not issue any mandate upon the
subject, fearing thereby to give the
question greater proportions than il had
yet assumed. Signor Mancini, Minis
ter OF Foreign Affairs for Italy, in an
swer to an invitation to his Government
to join in the protection Of the canal,
said Italy having joined in an identical
note which Turkey formally accepted,

Icy already announced to intervene in
any other way at this juncture. In July,
Arabi indirectly sounded Earl Gren-
vile with respect to terms of submis-
sion which would be granted him. He
made direct offer to disband the
leaders Of the rebellion, and for himself
TO accept banishment. The Secretary
OF the Foreign Department refused any
thing save complete Submission.
