Arab Pasha, stated that such de
mand cannot be made by England
alone, but should proceed from
conference of the Powers, in which
it would receive due consideration.
Herr Won Hirschfeldt, German
representative, was instructed yes
terday, from Berlin, to recommend
the Sultan to issue a proclamation
declaring Arab Pasha a rebel, as de-
manded by England.
Monhktar Pasha has made arr
rangements which will enable the
Porte to despatch 10000 men to
Egypt in successive detachments.
The Porte denies that it has re-
ceived any telegram announcing the
submission of Arab Pasha.
PARIS, July 29.-The Journal des
Debats says if England, who, at her
own cost and risk, re>establishes
order in Egypt, will not do SO gratu
itously she will be right.
LONDON, July pa dispatch
from Constantinople to the Times,
says: The Russian charge d atfaires
has been ordered by his government
not to attend any more meeting of
the conference until he has received
detailed instructions.
The Times, in a leading article,
says; 1t appears that France adj
heres to the policy of abstention
from Intervention in Egypt, and that
if she takes any action at all it will
be confined to providing for the Sc
curity of the canal. 1t is, however,
clear that De Freycinet's timarous
policy does not command universal
assent in France, and even if the
ministry should weather the storm,
it is likely to undergo an impartial
mobilization through the detection
of M. Say, minister of finance, and
possibly Ferry, minister of public
instruction.
A dispatch to the Times from Con-
stantlnople says: The military com
mission is of opinion that the expe-
dition to Egypt should consist OF an
advanced guard and three divisions,
with an effective force of II, 900 men
each.
ALEXANDRIA, July 29.-Osman Pa
sha Rifki and twenty-six Circassian
Offices, who were implicated in the
recent plot to assassinnate Arab
Pasha, arrived here to day from Con
stantinople, having been summoned
by telegraph by the Khedive. They
were received with great ceremony.
LONDON, July 29.-The Daily

seps, in the belief that England
aims at seizing the Suez Canal, con,
tinues to oppose every plan for as
suriDg it's SAFETY. In an interview
with the late governor, he said that
! the knedive was simply a prisoner
in the hands OF the English, and
that Englands sole aim was to OBJ
tain supreme control of the canal.
Yesterd day he telegraphed to Arab
Pasha, saying that he had just sent
dispatch to de FreJcinet telling
him that the Khedive and the agents
Of the Powers were Incorrectly in
formed as to the situation here;
that the canal was in no danger;
that he had preven ed the landing
of the French and British forces,
and that if the ministry would
make him the representative OF
France here, he would insure the
safety of European life and property
and the security of the canal

in his power to provide for the safety
of the canal SO long as England
respected its neutrality.
PARIS, July 29.-In the Chamber
of Deputies to>day, De Frecynct
proposing q second vote of credit
declared that it was question Of
confidence In the cabinet He said
Without the mandate of Europe
an lntervention-properly so called
would be neither wise nor prudent
The present operation could lead tc
no conflict with Europe. France
would occupy the ends of the cana
with four Thousand men, and would
show to England that she possessed
the sympathy and moral support o
the French people. AS Turkey hac
announced an intention of dispatch
ing troops to Egypt, this was no
the moment to refuse the grant
Such a course would be prejudicia
to the interests of Franc,
In Egypt, and to her prestig,
in the eyes of the mussulme1
of the world. The Powers were re-
verting TO the idea of a collectiv,
protection of the canal, and confer
ence were about to consider thi
phase of the question. Both Eng
land and France would be disposed
to participate in this collective ac
ton. In conclusion De Friggina
said: The government makes di
rect appeal to the confidence of tn
Chamber. Iu this the ministers ar
unanimous" Notwithstanding ID
Fregginet's appeal, the Chamber, b.
a vote of $50 to rs, rejected tn
credit demanded by the government
After the vote, the ministers went t.
Elysee and rendered their resigna
tions to President Grevy. He re
quested them to continue the busi
ness of their offices pending the ap
polntment OF their successors.
