The Opposition speakers regarded the amount aa inadequate, and accused the Government of not recognising the gravity of the «riaU. The speeches of the leading members of the Opposition generally, however, were of a feeb'e character. During the debate Mr. Goichen deliverel a remarkable speech whioh converted sereral Libsrali who intended to vote ag»inst the Government. Mr. Gosohen strongly opposed the polioyof look* ing to the Porte for any 00-oj.eration in reestiblishine; peace at d order in Egypt. The speaker urged the desirability of England aoting alone. Immediat'ly England decided to send an expedition to (• gypt, Turkey expressed ita readiness to sooept the long-ttand-ing invitation to attend the oonf< reno ) ; now in view of the fact th»t Er gland was t l oron?h'y in earnest the P<rte also cop* Bented to send troop > to Egypt. He believed however this was eimp'y intended to avert English intervention, or, at least, to oreats fresh delay until the rising of the Mle and the approach of the autumn season, whioh will render the operations of Eurppwn troops in the Nile Delta dangtrous, n not impossible Mr. Gladstone, however, declare i to-day that Karl Dofferin had been instructed to deolara to the Porte that England would be glad of the co-operation of any Power, but the Sultan must be called upon to sate the date of the despatch of troops. England has also required that before the troops are despatched a prcolama* tion shall be issued upholding Pnnoe Tewfik and denounoiny Ar«bi as a rebel. Ihe greatest distrost exists amongst the Powera in regard to the Egyptian Question. 1 hey are unanimous in nothing but j'alonsv of English intervention. The Italian press display the most virulent anti-English feelivg. The Austrian press i» cold, if not onfriendly. Some of the Buuian papers hint that Russia will have an opporinnity of carrying out her projects in Cerjt-al Asia, evidently supposing England will hare her hands foil in Egypt Ihe German press is cold and critical, very few papers writing in a friendly strain towards England. The German Government maintain a very reserved attitude upon the Egyptian question ; in fact ihe i oropean Govern* ments seem to be eon=rering not so much the Egyptian question as what it may lead to, and are v.ry oautioas accordingly. From the debatsa in the French Chamber, it is oertain that Franoe fears to commit hsrself to extreme operations in

Egypt, from (hs uncertainty of Prinoe Bit* marok's designs. She will not take part in the protect on of the Canal without the approval of Germany and Austria, whose alliance she has so olosely cultivated ainoe the French occupation of Turis.
