Lords to-day, in answer to mterrogations,

shore-E qyptieR without giving any opinion
as to the legality of the action of France in
having demanded the reopening OF the
office of the paper and the punishment OF
the persons concerned III the act OF seizure
and suppression. England caused a legal
inquiry to be made into the matter, and,
ascertaining from this inquiry that the sup
preston of the BoSph0re- Egyptien was I'M
warranted, England without disclosing any
of her share of the responsibility for the
act of seizure advised Egypt to apologize to
France and allow the Bosphore EgAptiea to
reappear.
