ENGLAND AND THE CANAL.
GLADSTONE YIELDS TO PUBLIC OPINION
CONSIDERATION OF THE FRENCH AGREEMENT
SUsPFNDKD.

GLADSIONE YIELDS To PUBLlC OPlNlON'
CONSIDERATION OF THE FRENCH AGREEMENT
SUSPENDED.
LONDON, July 23.-Mr. Gladstone announced in
the House of Commons this afternoon that he would
not ask Parliament at this session to sanction the
agreement in regard to the Suez Canal made with
Nj. de Lesseps. The announcement of the Prime
Minister was received with cheers by the Opposi-
tiou.
Mr. Gladstone also said that the consideration of
the agreement was dropped, owing to the general
objection to the scheme and because time had
been asked for by some of the members. He
declined to express his opinion relative to
the bold idea in favor of an international
committee to control the canal, although
he admitted that the canal would be made
to benefit all. This utterance was received
with cheers by the House. England, Mr.. Gladstone
SAID. will not use her temporary exceptional position
in Egypt to invade rights which had been lawfully
acquired. nj. de Lesseps had informed Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson in their negotiations in Paris that
he considered that the Government was not in any
way bound to press the agreement on Parliament:
But whatever should be DONE second canal would
be constructed as rapidly as possible.
Sir Stafford Northcote said that the canal negotia-
tions must have been gravely mIsmanaged TO have
raised issues causing ill-fcelng against France.
LONDON. July 24-The Morning Post says that as
the papers relating TO the canal negotiations
have been presented TO Parliament, the Opposition
will ask Mr. Gladstone 10 fix day for full dis
cusslon of the subject.

LONDON. July 23.-In the House Of Lords to-
day Earl Granville, Foreign Secretary. said that
the Suez Canal agreement would be reported to u
special committee.
The Marquis of Salisbury said that when the
papers relating to the canal negotiations were
presented to Parliament the Opposition would be
able to judge whether it was their duty to take
further measures TO ascertain the views of Patlia-
ment or of the Government in regard 10 the canal
transaction, which, he asserted, deeply compro-
missed national interests. He declared that N. de
Les.eps In order to cut a second canal across the
lsthnus of Suez. must obtain the consent OF Egypt,
which was really tho consent of England The
Government he said should state the terms on
which ITS consent would be granted.
