LONDON, June 1st.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Dixie, Under Foreign Secre-
tary, said the Government at the suggestion
of France, bad agreed to invite other Powers
to a conference for the settlement of the
Egyptian question on the basis of ststu quo.
The Government had already proposed to
Freycinet to take the Powers into their con.
fdence. 1t might be objected that con-
ference would cause delay, but the Govern.
ment believed, on the contrary, that it would
expedite a settlement 1t had been sug-
gested to the Sultan that it was desirable
that the Turkish flag be displayed in Egypt
ian waters and Turkish Commissioners be
conveyed to Egypt hereunder. Admiral
Seymour, he said had been instructed to
take steps to protect the Suez Canal. The
papers on the subject will be presented i'm
mediately.
Gladstone did not apprehend any immedi.
ate landing of troops.
Gladstone added that what was most ap-
pretended by European residents in Egypt,
as likely to endanger their safety, was Euro
pean military Intervention. He did not
apprehend any immediate necessity for the
landing of troops. The Government consid.
cred themselves pledged to uphold the present
Kaedive. 1t was feared that Intervention
by Europe, instead Of by Turkey, would in
flame the fanaticism. There was no reason
to consider the life of the Khedive, or the
lives of Europeans, endangered. The rumor
that Indian troops were about to be brought
to Egypt was without foundation.
Sir Charles Dixie stated that there were
French and English gunboats at either end of
the Suez Canal The question IS to the
Presidency of the Conference was not yet
decided. Turkey will be invited to psrtici-
pate.
The Government received communication
from De- Freycinet to-day, testifying to a
complete concord of views between France
and England.
In the House of Lords to-day the Foreign
Secretary stated that three English war yes.
sells have arrived at Alexandria, and three
more will arrive tonight or to morrow. A
similar French contingent will arrive nearly
simultaneously. He had no fear whatever as
to the maintenance of telegrsphic communi-
atom with Egypt.
The Times, referring to the action of the
English and French Governments in order
ing reinforcements to their fleets at Alexan-
dria, says 1t Is to be regretted that the
demonstration should not have been origi-
nally made in force, as whether it Influenced
Arab Bey not, it would have prevented
the panic in Alexandria. 1t can hardly be
supposed that the conference alone will meet
the needs of the moment. A conference is
of no use while the belGgerents are in the
field. The pressing question is, "W What is to
be done to get Arab Pasha out of the coun.
try" 1t i5 the temporary, not ultimate, So
luton of the trouble which is important at
this moment. If the insurrection is subdued
the Egyptian question will solve itself. In
default of the Sultan's consent to the mode
Of intervention. it is the duty Of England
and France to take the matter in thsir own
hands.

Source OF the Irish Ouirages.
LONDON, June 1st.-Forwood, late Mayor
of Liverpool, writes to the Times that his
experience during the recent Fenian activity
convinces him that the outrages in Ireland
