for the next meeting.
PARIS, Aug. IA.
The RepuJIiQue Francaisc publishes
an article to-day pointing out the
sagacity of the Gambetta Cabinet, as
now demonstrated by the nanswer-
able evidence Of facts. 1t likens the
De Frovcinet Cabinet, which .prefer-
red the European Concert to cooper
alton with England, to the dog which
dropped the meat to snatch at the
shadow. BY abandoning 1.-The latter,
Egypt, fortified by the labour OF
several generations of F%renchmen,
has been delivered up to the Empress
of India, and by following the other,
and imagining that by dint Of docili-
ty it would obtain the good graces Of
Germany, it leant, as the Hebrew
prophet said, speaking precisely Of
Egypt, on a reed which broke
and pierced the hand; not that
Prince Bismarck lacks strength, but
because in this affair his will is
vacillating, no vital interests of Ger
many being involved" After he had
been persuaded to take part in the
business, he, of course, tried to do
Turkey a GOOD turn; but, so soon
as he saw hat Turkey could not or
would not take direct measures
against the Egyptian insurgents, he
let England do as she liked, just as
he would have let England and
France together do as they liked.
1t can nov be seen how accurate
was NJ. Gambetta's judgment when
he instructed NJ. Challemel-LacoUr
on January 23rd to say to Lord Gran
Vile, "Franco and England do not
need, in order to uphold their rights,
to be supported by Europe" Europe,
" iII-adyiscdly assembled in Confer
ence, has never consented to grant
that commission, not because she
contested the rights of the two Pow
ers, but because it was not her bust
ness to give such q mission" The
B~fpu6!iquc FRANCHISE is convinced
that NJ. Gambetta would, in the end.
have succeeded in bringing owe
Lord Granville to his views, which
are hostile to Turkish intervention
1t asks the English now to say who
was in the right. England IS now
finding Turkish intervention her chic
embarrassment, and would gladly
dispense with the cooperation sh,
has solicited. She now sees, thougI
a little late in the day, that the Turl
cannot be a sincere ally of the Euro
poan against the Mussulman fanatic
at Cairo. England would have don
we'll to listen to the advice sh
received last January from this side
Of the Channel.
The Suez Canal Company has
received the following telegram, dated
IsmailIa yesterday afternoon :
"The English Admiral at Suez asked
the Canal Company for 10000 cubic me
tres of fresh water to fill the gravinI
dock. The Company consented, and in
vited the agent of the works to supply tn
water, on the understanding that every ar
rangement was made for Port Tewfik no
being deprived Of fresh water. By tn

The Egyptian Question.
(Fyom the Times. J
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. Il.

CONsTANTINOPLE, Aug. Il.
With regard to the proposal for an
international protection of the Suez
Canal, the only question with which
the Conference has at present to deal,
all the PIenipotent!aries seem to re-
cognize that it has at present very
little practical significance, because
the task has been undertaken in an
ef1icacious manner by England; but
all, or nearly all, believe that it may
have considerable political signiti-
canoe in the future. For the present
it is intended as a warning to 6ng-
land that the other Powers, though
abstainiDg from military action in
Egypt, are resolved to maintain the
international character of the great
water highway; and for tho future it
may serve as the first step towards
eventually placing the navigation Of
the Canal under the permanent pro
lection and control of the European
Powers, by means of an I%nternation-
al Commission similar to that of the
Danube. According to the resorva-
ton made first by the Ottoman
Plenipotontiaries and afterwards by
the British Ambassador, the interna-
tional MARITIME police, as proposed
by Count Corti, should cease to exist
as soon as order is restored in Egypt;
but there are hopes in certain quar-
tiers that this reservation may be with
drawn, If not Immediately, at least
when military operations have clear
ed the ground for permanently regu-
lating the Egyptian question by
diplomatic means, Until that time
the Conference can do little serious
work, and might adjourn sine die;
but in the opinion Of more than one
Of the PIenipotontiaries, it ought not
to be dissolved, because, when mill
tary operations are terminated, III
assembly of some kind will be requir-
cd for putting the pretensions OF Eng
land in harmony with the will of
Europe.
MIDNIGHT.
The Conference held a meeting
to-day at the House of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs. The Italian pro-
posal for the international protection
of the Canal formed the subject Of
elaboration. The French Ambassa-
dor, having at last received the neces-
sary instructions, announced the
acceptance of his Government, so
hat the project is 10 formally
accepted by all the Powers. 1t was
expected in certain quarters that a
proposal would be made for submit
ting to the Conference the proposed
Anglo-Turkish Military Convention,
but no such proposal was put forward.

exception Of the Ottoman delegates,

The Restoration OF Cctcwayo

In the House of Commons, Mr.
Hubbard wished to ask the Under
Secretary for the Colonies if he could
inform the House whether Her Majes-
tvs Government had come to any
decision to restore the ex-King Getty
wayo to Zululand and, if so, what
means it was proposed to adopt to
prevent civil war and to secure the
appointed chiefs in the rights secured
to them by Sir Garnet Wolseley's

Visit OF Ccscwayo 10 Osborne.
(IimeS Of 1uguSt H.

Cetewavo and his two native
generals of division left Victoria sta
ton by special train this morning for
an audience with the Queen at Os-
borne. Lord Kimberley, Mr.. II.
Shepstone, and Mr.. Dunn, interpreter,
were also of the party. The train,
which was in charge of Mr., Williams,
made the distance between London and
Portsmouth in little less than a couple
of hours, without stopping and of the
marvels which Cetewayo will have
to describe on his return, not the
least surprising will be the remarka-
bic rapidity with which the English
people travel from place to place.
1t must however, be said of Ceteway0
that he has a wonderful command of
c~ountcnance, ard that his equanimi-
ty is Of the highest character. No
thing appeared to surprise him. The
gaping, struggling crowd, the capa-
cious harbour, the gigantic mon-of-
war, and the other sights Of the
port never disturbed his imper-
turbable gravity. Only once did he
appear moved, when a peripatotic
photographer, with professional bad
taste, directed his lens upon him
without so much as asking leave.
Cetewayo quickly hid himself behind
tie dockhou> euntil he yacht gotundcr
way. On arriving upon the jotty in
the dockyard he was met by Admir-
al Ryder, Prince Edward Of Sake
Weimar, and the District Military
Staff, Admiral WCrea and other Off
ciuIs, while the jetty was occupied by
a curious crowd, largely made up Of
ladies. Gateway 0 was dressed in the
morning costume of an English gen
tIeman. On leaving the train the
party embarked on board the Fire
Queen, the yacht Of the Commander
m-Chief, and proceeded at once to
Osborne. The interview with the
Queen LASTED IS minutes. After
luncheon, the Fire Queen left CoweS
at 3, and Celewayo left Portsmouth
for London shortly after 4 o'clock.
