Renter's Despatches to Patea Daily Mail. This Day. EGYPT-FRIENDLY GUARANTEE. Cairo, 12th—In consequence of the bad impression created at the Egyptian Court by the construction placed on the recent action of the English and French Consuls-General in sending their joint note to the Khedive, the British representative at Cairo has had audience of his Highness, in the course of which he took occasion to reassure him that the British Government has no intention of departing from the line of policy it has hitherto followed, or to interfere .in future in Egyptian affairs beyond taking such steps as might be necessary in the event of an outbreak or rebellion, to assure the permanence of the status qiio, and maintenance of his Highness’s authority. Mr Malet further explained that the course which had been adopted by himself and the French representative in issuing their joint note was simply intended to re-affirm the alliance which has hitherto existed between England and France in their diplomatic relations with Egypt, and to indicate the unanimity with which the two countries were prepared to act in order to secure the prosperity of Egypt.
