ENGLAND AND EGYPT.
London, Feb. G. An Egyptian Blue Book shows that Lord Cromer advised the Khedive in December to appoint Ilia/ Pasha, Premier, if the illness of Mustapha Pasha continued. It also showed that M. Waddington, French Ambassador in London, objected to Lord Cromer’s action as high handed and unprecedented, and ho feared that the European powers would believe that it was a prelude to the actual annexation of the country by Great Britain. Cairo, Feb. G. Immense crowds of people viewed the entrance of the Black Watch into the city. Their arrival created a great sensation, and the natives were greatly impressed with the regiment. The Khedive met with an enthusiastic reception in his tour up the Kile. Calcutta, Feb. G. The 7th Bengal Dragoons have been ordered to prepare to proceed to Egypt
HAWAII. WashxNgton, Feb. 6. The Hawiian Commission, headed by Mr Thurston, has reached Washington, and had a satisfactory interview with Secretary Foster. The particulars are kept secret, but it is understood that Mr Foster is officially sustaining the action of the American Minister, Mr Stevens, who ordered the sailors ashore from the warship Boston at Honolulu, and that he has sent an order to continue to recognise the Provisional Government. He hopes that the changes in administration will tighten the ties, and the common interests of the islands will necessarily link them to the United States. The Secretary advises the Minister to keep in constant touch with the United States Admiral. A despatch received from Hawaii states that Great Britain has recognised the Provisional Government. The New York Herald states that 80 members of the House of Representatives are in favor of annexing Hawaii, and 46 are opposed, while 77 have not yet announced their opinion. Twenty Senators desire protection, 35 prefer a protectorate, and 25 have not declared their views.
W ellington, February 7. The New Zealand Government have cabled a protest against the annexation of Hawaii by the United States of America.
