London. April 22.—Sir Stafford North-

tuis evening, in which he attacked the gov

fond an, a. indicated by Mr. (Bedstone in
moving the vote of credit last night. He
said that the retention of Egypt was all
important. It was a duty which England
owed to the people of India In maintain
ber position and prestige in Egypt, a id
especially to keep the Sues canal always
available for the transportation of British
troops.
Tbe Marquis of Sadsbnry, in a speech in

i-h houses and land, bat
allowed those who annually, drew
large fortunes from foreign aecnrittes, con
sole, etc, to go free. Tuts inequality, he
said, ceased the prevailing depretsion in
trade, and its abodtion would establish
the only practical solntion ol the vexatious
question of housing the poor. In reply

Which 1s Refused.
Washington, April 22.—Some lime since
an Interview appeared In the Post, of this
city, with ex-Representatlve Whitthorne,
ot Tennessee, which was considered by
Governor Porter, recently appointed as
ststant Secretary of State, also of Tennes
see, it disparaging to him. The interview
was copied extensively ia his own State.
He sent a card to the Memphis Avalanche,
ia which be said as Whitthorne bad served
in OoDgress the people ol Washington knew
hint, and as tbe people of Tennessee knew
botb men, it was not necessary for him to
commeat npon th* interview. Mr. Whit-
thorne thereupon sent a friend to Wash
ington with a note asking Governor Porter
to “go outside of tne United state! and ex-
plain a lit'ie matter." Governor Porter
asked tbe friend It he knew Ihe contents
of tbe note. Tbe tatter replied In tbe af
firmative. Thereupon Governor Porter
ss r ’j» "You will couaider it no affront,
thili,if 1 return the note to you.” The
note was returned.

And here Isbell be pardoned if 1 spend a
single moment, since allusion has been
rnado to It, in reference to a matter which
otherwise I should deem it dne to the pro
prieties of my position to pass by here, as
I have done elsewhere and everywhere,
totally unnoticed. I refer of conree
to the clamor which Ihe chsmploni ol
free speech end a free press, forsootii. have
raised over the position I assumed and
avowed some fourteen or fifteen years ago
on the pnbllo question ot tbe exclusion of
ihe Pupa from the civil government ot
Home, ol which he was the sov
ereign. That position was simply
ithe fundimeatal mIm of public law
that tbe invasion of tbe territory of
a peaceful neighbor and tho subversion of
bis authority constitute a violation of the
rights of that sovereign and a blow at that
freedom and equality of States which by
tbe common law ot nationt are the esien-
tial, fundamental and universal at
tributes of ail governments, irre-
spective of age or size or
power. In regard to that position I have
no qualification to make. No honor conld
compensate for its abandonment. It is
right now snd always. But another
proposition ot public law is equally funda
mental—that the acqnieteence of the peo
pie ol an invaded State in a
change of sovereigns, in so far as
the world is concerned, it a conclusion of
the pabllc question, and must determine
thereupon tne Judgment of all people. I
