LONDON, June 27.-The Times says: ain
view OF the information we have received
from various quarters we cannot doubt that
preparations Tor the protection OF the Suez
canal are maturing on a considerable scale.
We have reason to believe that the Fret
ond are at full strength, and should it BE-
necessary TO strike sudden blow there would
be no difficulty in dispatching &c, 900 men to
Egypt in a few days"

BRITISH PROTECTION FOR THE sUEZ CANAL.
CossTANTINoPLE, June 27-It is reported
that Lord Dufierin, British ambassador, has
been instructed 10 ask assent for British pro-
lection for the Sdez canal.
ARAB TO HAVE FULL IMMUNITY FOR THE
PAST FROM THE KHEDIvE.
1t il stated that Asmed Essad, the re-
mediary IN the negotiations between the
sultan and Arab, has been authorized to in
form Arab that full immunity will be grant
ed him for his past conduct. The sultan is
anxious at all hazards to prevent Arab
from playing the Arabian Csliphte card.
He will do his best TO avoid a rupture with
either the trucuient IN mister of war or the
khedive, and will use both if he can, as he
may think polite.
GAMBETTA's HUMILIATION.
PARIS, June ga Herald spec 7ays:
"The revelations of the long pecg .d yell
low Book on Egypt, which was distributed
to-day, have dealt terrible if not a crush
ing blow at NJ. Gambetta. 1t is now per-
iectly clear that from his accession to Office
until his downfall he had been persistently
urging the English government to adopt
joint course with France in Egypt, which led
in the long run to the armed joint interven-
ton at Cairo. The correspondence pub
lished in the Yellow Book shows with no
less clearness that Lord Granville steadily,
even CONTEMPORARY, refused to pledge
England to NJ. Gambetta's policy, though as
a mark of ordinary Difference to France he
had consented TO indorse the Joint note adj
dressed TO the Egyptian government in jan
uary. In an interview with NJ. Challemel
Lacour, on the 9Th of January, he even
went so far as to say textually that in ad-
herring conditionslly to NJ. Gambetta's sug-
&c syions he had never supposed that they
would be of the slightest utility, and yet,
spite of all, NJ. Gambetta was, or protested
10 be, all along convinced that at bottom
France aud England were in perfect accord
10 Egypt, and prepared, in case of need, for
joint armed as well as moral Intervention.
NJ. de Freycinet's policy has not been con-
sistently dignifed, but at least it has not
been blind. NJ. Gambetts's policy seems to
have been both blind and deliberately fool
ish. Carried to its logical issue it would
nave led to rupture with England, and
would have left France alone face to face
with Europe and Egypt"
ENGLAND PREPARING FOR Wharf.-The GOV
EREMEET UP To THE FIGHTING POINT.
LONDON June ga Herald special says:
"That the Egyptian question has broken the
monotony OF coercive legislation and has re-
sumed its old attractions, owing to the oppor-
tunity afforded for batting her majesty's
minsters-a sport highly relished by honor
able members. The result of the cross-ques
tionIng has been singularly barren, owing,
as is believed, to the fact that the govern
ment has screwed its courage to the fighting
point, and that as soon the ign popula-
ton is out of danger armed intervention will
be undertaken by. England and France
highlands idea is to seize both ends OF the
leaving Egypt proper TO stew in her own fat.
If Arab alone were to be consulted this
plan would settle the question satisfactorily;
but, unfortunately, Italy strongly objects to ,
the preponderance of England and France
in Egypt, and is actively promoting the
between Turkey, Germany and
Austria TO prevent the Intervention of the
western powers. The position of Mr.. Glad
stones government is full of difficulty
Ii must get rid of Arab and
reassure public opinion as to the
safety of the canal. This can only
be accomplished by a military expedition,
for which preparations are actively, though
secretly. in progress. In view of the atti-
tude of Laly the chances of success for the
conference are almost hopeless, except by
England snd France Withdrawing their pre-
tensions of a controlling influence in Egypt
"a course which would lead to the immedi-
ate fall of Mr.. Gladstone's and NJ. de Frey
cinet's cabinets. The temper of the House
was distinctly shown during the discussion
Of Mr.. Chsplin's motion on the canal, i'll
reply to which Mr.. Gladstone distinctly
lated that the subject OF the naturalization
Of the canal would be excluded from the de-
alterations of the conference. The govern
nent is not likely soon TO forget the exhibit
ion of temper by the House at the mere
,uspicion that English interests in the canal
we're in danger. The Poll MaU Gazette, which
8 usually well informed, published on Fri
lay evening an article in reference to the
of a military expedition to
Egypt, in which it assumes that the expedi-
ion has been already decided on. This
belief is very general among members of
Parliament. An additional proof of the
mminence of war is the heavy fall which
las taken place in British securities during
he week"
