CONFERENCE
LONDON, June 2i-The Standards correspondent
at Alexandria says: Arab Pacha informs me that
he will resist to the death every pretcnce the part
of the enemies of Egypt to interfere with her af-
fairs. He says he cannot regard any settlement as
satisfactory until the fleets have withdrawn.
The report that he aimed at ruling Egypt
without the Khedve he declared to be
n base calumny." Tho correspondent further
reports that owing to OF fresh calamities the
exodus of Europeans has begun again. Admiral
Seymour has made arrangements for the landing of
force of men in the event of another riot.
Many Americans left Alexandria yesterday in a
vessel chartered by the captain of the United States

go to ConstantnOple states that though he Is will
ing to 90 there, the army will prevent him.
Ragheb Pacha, President of the Council, has writ
ten TO the Italian Consul as doyen of the diplomatic
corps, inviting him and his colleagues to appoint
delegates on the commission of inquiry into the late

LONDON. June 23-In the House of Commons
this afternoon Mr.. Gladstone stated that all the
representatives of the Powers at ConstantinOpe,
except the Austrian representative, had received
instructions for their guidance at the conference
Mr. Gladstone said that the whole subject of the
control of the Government and the naturalization
of the Sucz Canal was outside tho scope of the
conference. In the House of Lords Lord Granville
announced that Austria had consented to join the
conference.
The Vienna Prose- says that the actual date for
the assembling of the conference is left to the
Ambassadors themselves to determine.
Ii is admitted in Spanish Ministerial circles that
the question of Spains participation in the confer
ence at ConstantinOple may have been mooted by
some of the Spanish Ministers abroad.
The official corr spondence on the Egyptian ques-
tion shows that Prince Bismarck informed Count
Won Munster, German Ambassador here, that he
was opposed to joint English and French interven-
tion in Egypt, because he believed that it would
lead to disagreement and quarrels between France
and England, which. whatever else might be said of
his supposed policy, he would be glad to see
avoided.
Lord Granville, Minister of Foreign Affairs, IN
Apri suggested that England, France and Turkey
each should send a general to Egypt to restore dis
cipline in the Army. France objected to the plan
as dlatory and as possibly leading to the sending Of
Turkish troops on the Sultan's own authority. On
May the French Government sug gcstcd the send
ing of fleets and agreed if they failed to effect the
desired object. that the calling in of Turkish troops
by France and England would be th G least objcc-
tIoi aOc form of armed Intervention.
