Porte. England, by acting alone, will &C

future the country she saved. Those who
object to that prospect have, even at the
eleventh hour. the opportunity of sharing
the labor and obtaining a voice inSthe de-
termination OK events. But II England is
left to act alone, the formal engage
was wholly different will be abrogated.
We must plainly show to the Sultan and
the powers that we intend to work thor
oughly to retain control. When that is
cone Mr.. Gladstone and his colleagues must
yield to the compulsion OF events. Our
commanding naval force and well organized
army will insure q strong government under
English protection il the Ministry do not
hesitate in entering upon the path which
lies straight before them"

cuse for charging one penny of the ex-
penses of the Egyptian expedition upon the
finance OF India, except temporarily. II
the government is weak enough to yield to

previous utterances about the only legiti-
mate application of the Indian taxes.
