DECLARATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, August Sat the con-
terence Yesterday Onou, the Russian repre-
| sentative, and Said Pssha, Turkish delegate,
made declarations on behalf of their respec.
tive governments
Lord Dafferin explained England's actien
| at Alexandria. He said the forts had been
destroyed solely IS means of defense, and
me steps which followed were impelled by
the force of circumstances. England's sole
object was TO restore peace and order, to Sc
cure free navigation OF the Suez canal, and
to restore the authority of the khedive |
While reserving liberty of action, events
might render it necessary for England TO ac-
cept the cooperation of any power ready to |
give IL. Lord puferin added: ave also |
accept the sultan's friendly aid. We are |
glad 10 be relieved of uncertainty re- |
gsrding The intentions oil the sultan caused |
by the decoration bestowed upon Arab |
Pssha, the rebel"
The Ottoman plenipotenliaries made the |
following declaration
We have taken1note of the communica-
lions OF Lord Dufferin and each member of
the conference regarding the point that En-
gland is obliged to maintain troops in Egypt |
in consequence of the action of the Porte.
The Ottoman representatives are of the
opinion that action on the part of the sultan
would be more practical and eficacious than
action by England. The assertion of mac
ton on the part of the Porte ia unfounded,
as after the present identical note the Porte
agreed to take part in the conference and
dispatch troops TO Egypt; second, the res
olution OF the Porte TO dispatch troops 10
Egypt was based upon the tenor of the iden-
teal note and satisfied the powers, but
the attitude adopted by England
in suborning her acceptance of the arrival
and cooperation of Turkish troops to the
proclamation of Arab Pashs as a rebel was
not satisfactory TO the powers; third, the
Porte never decliaed the assistance. of the
powers 10 maintain the stdtu quo which
was proved by Turkey accepting the condi-
lions OF the identical note relating to the
future Of Egypt; fourth, regarding the issue
OF the proclamation declaring Arab Pasha
a rebel, the Porte hopes the conference will
approve of the proclamation being issued
with the presence of Ottoman
troops in Egypt, in order to obtain efficacious,
practical results whenever disorders require
the adoption of vigorous measures. AS the
proclamation is to explain the situa-
lion and impeach a subject of the |
sultan who was decorated at a mo-
neut when menifesting fidelity, it must |
1erive its force from the immediate CO.
operation with the imperial troops, whose
absence at the PRONUNCIATION of the procla-
N ration would render it barren of result In
he present state of things the conference
will recognize in the Porte sincere desire
o restore order and establish better under :
tanding with the powers"
