[“ age ” specials.] LONDON, November 16. The Government have officially informed Parliament that they have declined to accede to the proposals of the Porto for the appointment of an International Commission to decide the future of Egypt. In tho House of Commons Sir Stafford Northcote expressed dissatisfaction at tho decision arrived at, stating that ho considered the matter was one in which all Europe was interested. Dissensions have arisen amongst tho members of Cherif Pasha’s Ministry, Rediz Pasha haying endeavored, by a course of obstruction, to create a deadlock. He is said to be in favor of French interference in the affairs of Egypt, hut the Khedive being strongly opposed to his views, his dismissal from office is probable. Maskoko, a Central African chief, who last year ceded a number of stations on the river Congo to the leader of the French African exploring expedition, has again confirmed his previous grants, which have been embodied in a formal treaty of defence. At the suggestion of Prince Bismarck, Chancellor of the German Empire, the Russian Government have withdrawn their envoys from the minor German Courts, and will in future only maintain diplomatic relations with the larger States. Mr Dillon, member for County Tipperary, who recently stated his intention to resign his seat in the House of Commons, on the ground of ill health, but was persuaded to withdraw his resignation, has had a relapse. He will therefore in all probability carry out his resolution, and retire from public life at an early date. November 20.

The Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs in a speech delivered at Yarzin recently, made a suggestian that the reorganisation of Egypt should be remitted to the decision of a Conference of representatives of European Powers. The war medals conferred on the troops for distinguished services in the late Egyptian campaign will be personally presented to the recipients by her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle to-morrow. Dr. Parry, Suffragan Bishop of Dover, who has been nominated to the vacant Bishopric of Sydney, will decline to accept the position. Some trading stations established by tbe American explorer Stanley on tbe Congo River, in Central Africa, bave been attacked during his absence by hostile natives.

The French Government intend to place cruisers on the Congo River, Central Africa, for the purpose of protecting trading stations established there by the recent French explorers. The long and sanguinary struggle between the Republics of Chili and Peru is at last likely to terminate. Negotiations for peace have been entered into. The bitter hostility previously prevailing has given place to a more amicable feeling between the two countries.
