MR. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

asked the Prime Minister, in connection with the Question of the late Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the date at which the usages and laws of war ended in Egypt, and the date at which the municipal rights of the Government began, was to he understood as the date of the surrender of Cairo or the surrender of Arabi?

MR. GLADSTONE
