ALLEGED VIEWS OF GERMANY.
BERLIN, July 19-The Cologne Ga
Zette and Berlin North German Gazette
print articles on the Egyptian question
which are regarded as being directly
inspired and representing not only the
policy of Germany, but of the other
Powers, except England and France.
The articles state that the Egyptian
question will only be ripe for Germany
after the western powers have come to
a mutual understanding, to apply for
the assent of Europe. In view of the
general need of peace, England may
rely upon support on all sides in her en-
deayOr to bring about a settlement of
the question, especially if she strictly
adheres to the role of defender of her
just interests.
ARABI's RETREAT.
LONDON, July ia correspondent of
the Telegraph at Alexandria says: |

the soldiers during their retreat, killing
200.

THE KHEDIvE's CONDUCT.
ALEXANDRIA, July 19.-The conduct of
the Khedive causes much surprise. He
has for the last few days allowed several
persons to be at the palace who are we'll
known to have been intimately con-
nected with Arabia Pasha. The Khedive
apparently trusts them, but it may be he
is endeavOring to get them thoroughly
in his power.
ARABI PASHA DEFENDS HIS ACTION.
CONsTANTINOPLE, July 1O.-Arabi Pa

THE PROTECTION OF THE CANAL.
PARIS, July 19.-In his statement in
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday De
FTeycinct, Prime Minister, said when
ever any step for the protection of the
canal was on the point of being taken
he should submit the project for special
credit.
Gambetta in his remarks last night
said he thought it beneath the dignity
of great nation to accept mere police
mission. France, he said, should inter
Vene in the Egyptian question, as far as
required by her own interests; in favor
of the AnglO-French policy as opposed to
the policy of the EurOpeOn concert.

BETA. He cOntented that the National
party in Egypt must be taken into &C.
