land will not lose sight Of the apos-
ties counsel in respect to Egypt,
when those who sneered and vitu
perated her yesterday, and try te
pooh, pooh her to-day, attempt to
bully, Jockey, and laugh her out of
the fruits of Lord Wolesley's genius,
and the recompense for her loyalty
towards a sovereign-whom all de-
serted, and for her courage to casti-
gate, single handed, a kind of COM
munist whom all feared. England
has neither sneaked into Egypt nor
tricked its ruler-loyalty itself to
all his duties. into q compulsory
surrender of his rights. She must
be now more than ever re lutte in
a "hands off " policy for reor-
ganization Of Egypt, a work she is
able as brilliantly to accomplish,
as to suppress rebellion. If Russia
we know she has the chronic in
tention, considers the moment favor
able to cut deeper into Asiatic Tur-
key, England can take her precau-
tions, and common danger will pro-
vide her with allies, whom it is to
be hoped will not bolt when comes
the tug of war. France is fussy,
noisy and speaks big. She Will
evidently endeavor to regain by
negotiation, what she. has los, by
her laundering. England is hap
PLY no longer trammelled by a
French alliance; she has seen the
value of all that in the recent and
gratuitous outbreak of hatred and
Jealousy, headed, we blush TO write
name so furnished, by M. DeLes-
seps, whose age, nearly eighty, is
the only attenuated circumstance
that can be pleaded. We have pan
Islamism, pan-slavism, etc F.; why
not organize pan-Saxonism, to
include the Germans. 1t would be
as valuable a bugaboo as the others,
and less Of a joke than the Latin
race Shibboleth.
The very idea of an alliance be-
tween Germany and Ems land would
act as the coolest of douchAs on the
Ruperts in this country, who hay
ing shirked the toll and danger
have the c0olness t. demand their
part in England's success. Instead
Of withdrawing soldier, send any
spare men into Upper Egypt, to ex-
plain the significance of cold steel,
Gatlings and N0rdenfeldts. Drury
Lowe and Macpherson are capital
mis- sionaries. Slicing a dozen OF
false prophets and dervishns before
breakfast time, will secure years OF
security for civilization.
It gains ground here, that any
dual European government Will
only renew those intrigues which
instigated Arabi to act, and fooled
him iato the delusion of being Il
WASHINGTON. Since England anG
France only pulled against each
other in Egypt, that Siamese union
cannot be resumed. The proceed
ings of the French in Tunisla. can
not be kept zoo .vividly before their
mind. The Kroumir has become s
a factor in diplomacy.
There can be no serious, no sound
politicalSbusiness relations between
France and England, till the French
mind be swept clean of the delu
sion, that the very existance of Johr

Monsieur. Those who do not speal
plain, out, and up, at the presen

not the Well-Wishers of either. The
French as firmly believe England
has to depend on them, as they dc

of Yendome, and feet as large a
