Egypt.
« , * It is reported here that Russia is parleying with England in regard to the latter's movements in Egypt. The Porte lately protested against the action of the Mussulmans in fighting their co-religionists without consulting the Caliph. The Cairo authorities replied that the Dervishes against whom the expedition is directed were heretios, and there could bo no infringement of the Sultan's firmans since the object was the reconquest of Egyptain territory. Upon this the Sultan gave way and acquiesced in the views of the Egyptian Government. Three armoured steamers will be sent up the Nile in June to Ferkeh, midway between the second and third cataracts.
