risk establishes order in Egypt, will not do
so gra'uitOusly. She will be right"
10 the Chamber OF Deputies to-day, NJ.
de Freycinet, proposing a second vote of
credit, declared that it was q question of
confidence in the Cabinet. De Frevcinet
said, without the mandate of Europe, inter
vsnti0n properly so called, would be neither
wise nor prudent. The present operation
COnld lead diPf with
Europe. France would occupy the
ends of the canal with 10000 men, and
would show TO England that she possessed
the sympathy and moral suppoGt of the
French people. As Turkey had announced
an intention OF dispatching troops to Egypt
this was no5 a moment to refuse the grant.
Such a course would be prejudicial to the
interests of the French in Egypt and to her
pres ige in the eyes OF the MusSulman
world. The powers were reverting to the
idea Of collective protection. of the canal,
and the conference was about to consider
this phsse OF the question. Both France
aud Eaglsnd would be disposed TO partici-
pate in this collective action.
In conclusion. NJ. de Freycinet said: 'The
government makes 2 direct appeal to the
confidence Of the Chamber In this the
Ministers are unanimous" NOtwithstand-
ing NJ. de Frevcinet's appeal, the Chamber,
by vote of 450 to 700 rejected the credit
demanded by the government. After the
vote the Ministers went to the ElYsse and
rendered their designations to President
Grevy. He requested them to continue to
transact the business of their offices pend
ing the appointment of their success

ing article, says: 'It appears that France
adheres to the policy Of a5stentiOn from
intervention In Egyp', and that If she takes

viding for the security of the canal. Il is,
however, clear that De Freycinet's timor-
Gus policy does not command universal con-
sent in France, and even II the Ministry
should weather the storm, It is likely to un-
dergO important notifications through the
detection OF NJ. Say, the Minister OF FL
nance, aud of possibly NJ. Ferry, Minister OF
Public Instruction"
A dispstch to the Times from CONSTANT
nople says the military commission is OF the

Freycinet telling him that the Khedive and
