These extatea constitute ano-fifth of the cultivable area of Egypt, and their allotment, s proposed, would no doubt give England » Grum footing in the country,
By laying these proposal before Francs, Germany, Italy, Russia and Austrin, the British Government raised the difficulties which aro no forming the subject of the Claims against the Claymore must be cablegrams received from home.

by Lord Northbrook, namely, the sospen sion of the Sinking Fund. The last have learnt of this application by Fasan and Germany, to have representatives on the Caisso, is that on the 30th of Desember the Egyptian Government had officially stated it would be pleased to grant the ap plication as soon as all the signatories of the Jaw of Liquidation had agreed thore- upon; and that Germany and Russia are dissatisfied with this reply. Considering that England is one of the signatories, and that she controle the act of the Egyptian Government, it is mukaar- prising that the reply was considered to be somewhat unsatisfactory by Germany and Russia.
It is clear from the telegrams now:"com. ing to hand that the British proposals for settling the Egyptian financial affairs were not very favourably received by the Powers. On the 16th instant, we learnt that cour ter-proposals, which were supported by Austria Germany and Russia (the triple alliance), had arrived in London from the French, Government. On the following day we were further advised that a Cabinet Council was to be held by
