Special to " Star." SKITTER'S TELEGBAMB. London. June 25. In the House of Commons to-day Sir Stafford Northcote has given notice of motion declaring that the Anglo-French agreement regarding Egyptian affairs, will neither lead to peace in that country nor will it justify an English loan. It has transpired that the Porte lias accepted the . invitation of the British Gorernment to take part in the approaching International Conference on Egyptian affairs, but rescrres the question of suzeranity. In the French Chambers, during a discussion on the Egyptian question, M . Ferry spoke in praise of England's lofty and disinterested policy, but the Cham ber dissented from his statements. The Standard doubts whether the agreement between England and France will escape shipwreck. T'ue Times complains that England concedes too mncli, and receives nothing in return. The Press generally complain of the want of knowledge shown in the financial proposals.

Prince Bismarck states that the grasppolicy of the English colcnists in the Pacific is offensive and irritating to Germany. Earl Granville states that the English Gorernment have no claims on Augra Pequina.
