LONDON, July 2s.-The Government has
been defeated and Inundated and has aban-
doned unreservedv the provisional agreement
1t had made with NJ. de Lesssps. Tho condi-
lions. however. under which II has suffered de-
feat have shown that the accession to power q;
the Tory party. Weighted with It's present
pledges OF aggression and spoliation. could not
fail to involve rupture with France.
The Conservatives have held back. They
dare not assume the responsibility and grasp
the power that Is almost at their hands. and
the Government survives BY . compromise.
Unless the debate next week shall develop most

OF NJ. de Lesseps's claim to an exclusive con-
cession. and the Government will be allowed to
continue its course.

1t is possible that rapacity and selfish greed
have contrlved to defeat . master stroke Of
statesmanship. Egypt Is q calamity to the
Government and to the nation. and the ao-
counts OF the horrors enacted daily under tho
amalgamated English and Egyptian rule. as

fearful. Such picture Of barbarous and in
human cruelty under vicious and obnoxious
