Opening of Parliament. London, February 5.
The fifth session of the present Parliament was opened to day, by Royal Commission. The Royal Message, as read by the Lord Chancellor, agrees with the forecast already telegraphed, except in so far as the latter referred to Egypt. On this subject the speech atates that the proposed withdrawal of British troops from that country had been cancelled, as a measure of precaution against the possible effects of a reverse to the PJgyptianaiinyin Egypt itself, so far as the British occupation is concerned. Such occupation, the speech adds, is unchanged. •
