, PHILADELPHIA, July 10. Grant has
been giving his opinion upon the Egypt
ian question to record that he sides
with England, and says the people of
Egypt are ten times better off than the
negroes in the South. He believes Eng
lish protection would half develop the
resources Of the country and improve the
condition Of her people.
LONDON, July l6. In conversation with
Bright about his reported resignation.
he .ad the true cause of it was the Egyp-
tan policy of the government, culminat-
ing in what Mr.. Bright considered an
nnjustifable use OF force in Alexandria.
He was opposed to sending the fleet to
Egypt originally for any political reason,
He considered that England had no
Business to interfere with the internal
affairs OF Egypt, having no serious inter
est there except in the Suez canal, and
the canal was never menaced by Arab
or any one else. He believes that the
massacre On the llth Of June was largely
nrovoked by the presence of the English
feet He regards the continued pres
ence of the feet, with constantly increas-
ing number of foreign men-Of-war in a
friendly Earbor, as in itself menace
and unfrieLdly act. The motive of send
ing them, viz, the protection Of English
subjects. was good motive, but matters
were so arranged that the fleet became II
source Of danger rather than protec-
ton.
New YORK. July l6. A Herdid's spe-
cal from Paris says: The position of the
French government on the Egyptian
question is imperfectly understood. Nj.
De Fravcinet did tho wiSest thing that a
prudent mini ter could do und n the cir
,uuus.unces. ne Went INTO the confer
ence with determination to avoid iso-
lated or joint action with England, nm
less authorized by its decision, and then
nnl,, kka ,,f thn oh ln,,,l,nr
He thus avoided all danger Of plunging
France into n war Of which she might
have been made the scape-goat Of Ger
many, while at the same time he prepared
for eventualities by putting the navy on
awar footing His declining to act with
conference. The English government
was under no such obligation to Parlia-
ment, and in seizing upon the pretext Of
the arming OF the forts in Alexandria as
motive for hostilities, it acted under
pressure Of the danger which menaced
the Suez canal and which rendered inn
mediate action imperative to England
The safety of the canal was question OF
much more Importance than the consid-
Grafton how the action might be con
sstrued by the conference. Her boldness
has been justified by the result, none Of
the powers having felt themselves called
upon to protest against it.
