EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

The Egyptian war is a source OF great
interest in this country, but there are
lew persons who understand the motives
OF England. or care whether Arab IS a
re,.eI or a hero. 1t is the general i'm
preston that England is grasping after
Egyptian territory. and as the Sultan
had not enough pluck to resist, Arab.
who /. a representative of the people,
took it upon himself. to do so. The
Sultan, his master, thereupon proclaims
him a rebel, but makes no effort 10 put
down the instruction, but allows
England, a foreign power, to come over
and suppres the rebellion. Another
impression is that European affairs are
very much complicated, aud are becom-
ing worse every day, and that the
present sklrmlsh is but a spark in q
powder magazine. which will result in
an explosion that will change the whole
political and geographical face OF
Europe. Greece has for years been
dissatisfied. and her minister of foreign
affairs has issued u circular saying if the
Porte does not Immediately surrender
the tour disputed points on the frontier,
Greece will resume hostilitles. Russia
IS itching for ar excuse to take a hand
in The muddle, and Germany and France
are watching each other, each hoping
that the other will make some entan-
Cling alliances. Italy, though not power.
Jul as a nation, has much influence, and
is restless. All of Europe is afraid that
England is becoming too rich and pow
erfal, yet NO single nation dare inter
ters. The new commander of The
British forces, Gen. Woiseley, predicted
that the rebellion would be suppressed.
and Arab a prisoner by the middle Of
| September. The latest news is to the
effect that Q hot fight occurred on thu
is b, in which the British gained quite
a victory, and there ia strong evidences
of Arabi's surrender. II the mos
sanguine expectations OF Gen. Wolse
ley should be realized. which is nov
probable, The settlement OF indemnify
and war claims on the part Of England
may prove as dangerous to the peace
eli Europe as Is the present state Of

United States will keep her hands off
