AFFAIRS IN EGYPT. *. [BY TELEGRAPH.— COPYRIGHT.] [reuters telegrams.] London, August 4. , The Premier, in reply to a question in the Hou&e of Commons, announced that the Government intends to ask the House to-morrow for a credit to cover the expense of the expedition to Khaitoum if steps for the relief of General Gordon are shown to be necessary. Mr Gladstone added that the Government purposes taking aii impoitant step in regard to Egypt, and he hoped to be able to announce the nature of the proposed action to-morrow. The statement made by Mr Gladstone in the House of Common yesteiday has given rise to considerable spbCuLition on the part of the public and the daily Pi ess, as to the precise nature of the important step which the Government propose to take in consequence of the want of success which attended the deliberations of the International Conference on Egyptian affairs. In its issue this morning the Daily News aifirms that the Premier's statement indicates a departure for Egypt at an eaily date of one of the ' leading Liberal statesmen, and probably a member of the Cabinet, who will be entrusted with extended powers to act on behalf of the Biitish Govarnment. The Daily News states that the Government have decided to ask Parliament for a credit to the amount of £300,000, to cover the expenses of a military expedition for the rescue of General Gordon and the relief of Khartoum, if it should be necessary.
