AFFAIRS In EGYPT.
What is Said in London About Gen
Gordon.

LONDON. April ZZ.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon de-
nounces the "foolish" speech of Sir VIM.
Harcourt, delivered at Derby last Wednesday
in which he portended the withdrawal of
England from Egypt. This statement, the
Gazette observes, is kindling hopes in France
that the French republic will be able to
sieze the government of Egypt. The Brit
ish, it says, irrespective of party, are re-
solved to prevent Egypt from falling into the
hands of France. Any ministry which would
sanction that would not command fifty votes
in the House of Commons. The Gazette de-
mands that the government shall at once de-
clare that England will not retire from Egypt
for five years. Otherwise, it says, we shall
speedily drift into war with France.
In the House of Lords Earl Granville said
that the government felt no fears for the per-
sonal safety of Gen. Gordon. The position
of Gordon was also a subject of the inquiry
in the House of Commons.
received no request from Gordon for q de-
spatch of British forces to relieve Khartoum.
Gen. Gordon simply suggested that small
cavelry force should be sent to Berber. He
was unable to say whether Gen. Gordon had
sent telegram to Sir Evelyn Barring express
ing Indignation at being abandoned by the
English government, and announcing a de-
termination to act henceforth with perfect
independence of those who deserted him, as
was stated this morning in the Cairo cores
pondence to the Standard.
