The intelligence was received in Egypt by telegraph on the
same day, and Tewfik was quietly proclaimed, and received the 'Consular representatives. Ismail Pasha receives an annuity from Egypt of 250,000 a year, and from his son one of £60,000 more, and leaves Egypt, where neither he nor his son would ever be safe, while he remained, for Constantinople. There has been no popular demonstration. No idea of the new Khedive's policy has yet been made public, and the British Government has not explained the motives of its action. Sir Staf- ford Northcote on Thursday, in reply to Lord Hartington, only affirmed that the principal motive for the deposition of Ismail was misgovernment, although he wouldnot deny that the failure to pay his creditors had produced " complications " which resulted in cppression, and therefore was one of the causes of the action of the Powers. He promised papers immediately, and as usual with this Government, deprecated all discussion until they had been produced.—that is, until events have become historical. The Government has carried through the whole of this great negotiation, which has replaced Egypt in Turkey, without any consent from Parliament, formal or informal, and without affording Parliament any information.
