LONDON, September 23.-A Paris dispatch
to the Times says certain directors of the
SueZ canal have taken alarm al the view ex
pressed by the Times in an article on the
Suez canal, published on the 21st inst. In
order to dispel any anxiety in regard to
England starting a second canal, they
seemed inclined to effect an understanding
which would give England full satisfaction
and perfect security for the future, while
guarding the general interests at stake.
This will probably be the way In which the
question OF settlement of the canal will be
disposed of.

authoritatively denies that there has been
any large failure there recently. It Is be

distillers, reported yesterday to have failed,
are quite solvent.
ALEXANDRIA, September 24-It is dis
gustiDg to witness the attitude of enthusi-
ssm Of the natives for the Khedive and to
hear the expressions of loyalty of many who
have been notorious friends of Arab. The
Khedive, however, Is not deceived by this
lip-loyalty. The fact that several psrtisans
of Arabi still hold government appoint
ments under the protection of certain Min
listers is much commented upon.
The Khedive has issued a manifesto de-
clsring that England has great interests in
Egypt, both in regard to the 6nances and
traffic through the Suez canal, and that for
the protection Of those interests she was
compelled to interfere, tut that she
has no intention of annexlng
the country. The Khedive announces that
he has authorized General Wolseley to re-
present him In restoring order and punish
ing rebels. All loyal Egyptians are called
upon to render General Woleeley every
assistance. ANY one refusing to do SO will
be treated as rebel.
LONDON, September M-It is officially
announced that General Wolseley and Ad-
miral Seymour will be raised to the peerage
In acknowledgment of their recent distin-
guished services in Egypt.
