the Daily News from La Galletta
reports that the American consul
has received orders to re-establish
the consulate at Tunis
LONDON, July 12.-The Times, in
a leading article this morning, says;
"Iusmus Pasha, Turkish embassa-
dor, had an interview yesterday with
Earl Granville and demanded that
the order for the bombardment of
Alexandria be countermanded. Earl
Granville replied that the circum-
stances compelled the British gov
erpment to take that decisive action,
and that its decision could not be
revoked"
We do not hesitate to say that
the effect of England's de-
termination has been to produce
most favorable impression, both on
public opinion and the judgment of
European statesmen. The repre-
sentatives of these powers have al
ready expressed satisfaction at the
government action. There IS, there
fore, no ground whatever for the as
sertion that the action Of England is
judged by Europeans as high
handed or unnecessary. If the Porte
refuses to intervene in Egypt we
shall gladly welcome the assistance
of France, and signs are not wanting
that NJ. Defreycinct has shown
timidity a little to the taste of his
countrymen.
Gambetta speech yesterday, in one
of the Bureau of Chambers, In the
course of which he said the most
foremost serious feature was that
England and France, after having
acted together at Alexandria, in pre-
senting the ultimatum, had parted
the company, and that if the separa-
ton proved definite, never would
France have been in a more serious
position, is sign of public opinion
not to be neglected.
The Times Paris correspondent
reports that NJ. Gablet, Minister of
the Interior, or of the Interior
and of Works, replying to Gambetta,
with regard to Egyptian affairs, said
France had not co-operated In the
bombardment because England did
not seem to her justified, aud ber
cause France did not desire to
emerge from a European concert.
The correspondent adds that it is at
| least three weeks since England
proposed to France to join in the
occupation of the Suez Canal, but
as France raised objections, England
gave up the idea of French co>op-
Grafton IN that direction and turned
her attention to Alexandria. Since
then she constantly urged France to
keep her company, and until the
last moment she had not given up
hopes.
