EGYPTIAN COMPLICATIONS.
The moderate protest of Italy against the sus-
ension of the Egyptian sinking fundhas 1oilo"ec
an energetic note from other Powers, but nothing
has vet resulted from this action. Tie suit OF the
Caise Publioue against the Egyptian Govern
mon. was inevitable under the law OF

with the certain result of early total reputation.
International icalousies would prevent any other

ENGLAND. FRANCE AND GERMANY.
The remarkable alteration in the tone of the
french press is suspected to be due to some I'M
known influence at work. Clearly frehch
publicists are growing afraid Of the too

this change Will be strongly illustrated when the

GoRDoN's WORK IN THE soUDAN.
Mr Powers description of General "ChineSc
Gordon's splendid defence of Khartoum has stim
uated the demand for the retention of that city to
civilization but the rigorous instructions 20 Cen
sral Lord Woseley for General Gordon prohibit the
Indulgence of that hope To-day's papers publish
Berber under circumstances recalling General
Cordon's most romantic exploits in China. If
Belber has indeed been taken, it would
teem that General Gordon IS executing
the programme sketched in his latest messages
from Khartoum, according TO which he would send
Colonel Stewart to burn the city, and thence pro-
eoed to Dongola. Presuming this, we may shortly
hear of Colonel Stewart joining hands with Major
Kitchener at Ambukol, which will indicate the
beginning of the end of the Nile expedition. At
present, General Lord Wolseley has no instructions
TO proceed beyond DOngos, his further forward
movements depending the possibilities of Cen
eral Gordon's situation. With Berber captured,
there seems little obstacle to General Gordons
Evacuation.
AMERICAN MEDIATION IL THE FAST.
The news that the Washington Cabinet has
undertaken mediation between France and China
e1ces little surprise Notwithstanding the contra
olction of The Tmes's statement as 10 the interview
nMr. John Russell Young, the American Minister
nChina, with Ii Hung Chang, 1t is believed here
"at the message was not unfounded. 1t is
patent that NJ. jules Ferry, the French Premier, is
70 ohampered with difficulties that he is bound to
obtain some early settlement, and America is most
uEeiy to act as mediator
lhe speeches of Messrs Reed and Armstrong have
intensified public anxiety regarding the condition

government must take this subject seriously In
