§ EARL DE LA WARRI wish to ask the noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Office, Whether it is true that the Khedive has abdicated, or if he has been deposed?
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYMy information is that the Khedive was deposed by command of the Sultan this morning, and I am informed that a subsequent telegram—which I have not seen — announces the installation of Prince Tewfik.
