THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
London, May GA dispatch to the Times
from Paris says: Consular reports respecting
events in London have received apprehen-
sions, which latterly Gained down. Accord
ing to the latest exchange of views between
France, Germany and Austria the powers will
allow France the initiative in the Egyptian
question, leaving France to come to an agree
with England so as to secure unanimity Of
views. The principle of Turkish Intervention,
under any form, in Egypt, has been abanoned.
Mahomed Twef, the present khedive, will be
retained in power SO long as his retention is
compatible with the existence of order in
Egypt, falling in which, Hahn Pasha will be
substituted for him through the medium of
the porte at the unanimous request of the
powers, but the powers have minated that
nothing must be done to precipitate the de-
thronement Of Mohamed Twefik, nor must
the accession of Hahn Pasha be preached I'M
til the dethronemedt of Twehk becomes a
necessity in the interests of the powers, and
of Egypt in particular. This plan, while rem
dering the porte the instrument of deposition,
keeps the khedivate under the collective pro-
lection OF the powers, and places them, pro
form, under the control of the sultan.
