Goo W Smalley cables from London : Tho last week has witnoajiod anothor out burst of Anglophohism in Paris respecting -tjjo British occupation of Egypt. For tho laM, three weeks French influence in Cairo lioa been vehemently worked to induce tho Khedive to dlMiiiws Nubar Pasha and lilo co-mlnlstera The old reason is alleged that Nubar'n government is too complais ant towuid British coutiol, and thia 1b tho more remarkable because Faith ry and Mnzloun Pnchas wore thniht upon Nubar by the Khedive- bncause of thoir supposed anti-BritlHh aympathies. A. further ac quaintance on their part with "Tho brutal Lord Cromer," as ho is called, and with tho advantages of British rule and of tlio undoubted approval by the Fellaheen of tho Brltinh administration have modified tho hatred these gentlemen were once sup posed to entertain toward Great Britain, Tlio IGredivo^s miserable tactics of in flpirlnga local newspaper to distort what pansed between Id in and Loul Cromer at thoir last interview Illustrates bow com- plotoly hi higlmofw reflects the littleness of mind by which ho is inspired by tho French cotorlo thai surrounds bim. 'While thof.0 latter havo boey putting pressure en tho Khedive at Cairo, tho Paris news papers havo boon spitting tho usual venom against England and Nubar, At length tho Times in an apparently inspired articlo, warned all and sundry that tho arrogant and foolish boy was exhausting British patience, and if ho did not act with grcate prudence he might find himself shipped out of Kgypt after his grandfather. Even tho National Gac.ctte and tho Cologne Gezetto have lately complained of French mothods of fomenting trouble in ICgypt, jind tho Austiaa press, which is umlerbtood to bo largely i cad by the KhedHo, who was educated in Vicuna, warns his higli- jtieas that Europe approves of England fltrengtheniug her position in Egypt and ju prepared to suppress any attempt at nbolinhing the existing order of tilings Tho truth is that this agitation is largely the work of tho Paris nowspaperH, whoso real charactor has just boon Illustrated by tho blackmailing trials, and who woro so cleverly belittled in Lord Dufforln'scheer- -ful speech last night. Evorybody, French At Gorman, who holds any interests In Kgypt Is quite awaro that tho British oc cupation has bcuti a blessing to tho coun try. Franco Is running about with abeam In her e>u In the shape of tho Bnrdo treaty s-especting Tunis. When she has pulled that out sho will be in flt condition to Moavth and soo if England is afflicted with am Egyptian note.-------- Tlio news from Cairo indicates that Lord Cromor la acting with his usual vigor. Though - aturday was an official holiday, lio Induced tho Khedive to create a special tribunal for dealing with tho rowdies who -anight coiuomplato attacking English soldiers and sailors during Ramadan, nnd JioJius ulito defeated tho dilatory tactics of tho legislative council by summoning thorn back to discuss certain roforms of administration which thoy had sought to ^uvoid by thoir rccont suddon adjourn ment. Harold Frederic cables: It has been de rided, I Jim given to understand, to coaso fooling in Egypt and to give tho young .Khedive tho peremptory alternative of submitting In all things to ftuirltah cou- --irol or getting out. His successor doslg- mate, Prlneei Haltm, stands ready at hund, ,-Kiudon the slightest further provocation 4ie will bo put on the throng, while Abbs* ' 2>auha is conducted to Alexandra and led __*>ti, board a ship betweon a fllp-of soldiers.

Considerable con fidence Is felt that those virile exhibition** will huMIcu to scare Abbas Pasha mid his advisors Into docility. If they fait England will take tho bull by tho horns and declare a protectorate and Franco will bo told to take whatever courao hIiu pluaaoa.

JDkCkw: havo just read your lofctsr to the editor of tbs Eaniix- Frkk Fiiksk of tho 20th instant and I mustTsay that you ontiroly fail to aoswor my objoc- tioua to the spending of county moneys on local reads. You start from a correal contention, that the townlino between Colchester North and Sandwich South and Maidstono is in bud condition, but you como to a vory in correct or unfair oouolusion, that because tho said i'bwnTuia is m a bad ntato, and bo- oauno you and othoro, who own lands along side of it, aro willing to provide 81,400 of private subscriptions to anhaooo the valuo of your properties, the County Council must b* uaado to vote 91.000 of county money to oaablo you to improvo that road. Again I will repeat what I havo said in the County Council, aud iu my reply to tho oditorial of tho Ekakx Fukb 1'bsqh : "You address yourHolf to tho wrong partioa," the County Council has nothing to do with that tawuliue no mare than any other tewnhnn in the county.

I will say here that I do nat believe in Wuc- eonibo motions for special grants, and I am not UHually found amount thoao whs make these motions. I did not move for ono aent out of Che 87,000 complained of, but I must admit that it was nothing but human and natural that many Hoove*, who havo towuliaoH aid local rondo needing ropuira and gravel jUHb as much tin the one you contend for, should endeavor to dofeud tho intorest of thoir ratepayers who sond thora to tho County Council, by obtaining a quid pro quo" in cash \it couuty ratos, to whioh their people sontribute, had to be spent on your tow a line whoro thoy have no lands and no intsre-t, I say that it is tuauifestly unfair that any local ro&d should receive spaoial couu ty r-rautu aud all tho others receive none, and that certain municipalities where tho people have taiod themselves eteaelily ovory year to improve their owu roads chould be called upon te pay towards im proving local roads in th*r municipalities. The whole agitati in is carried oa with out taking into aoeount tho powers and dutiea of a Couuty Council aud tho rolativt positions of the different municipalities to^ eaoh othor. Those like you who want a Bpoois.1 grant to uchieve a particular object to benefit yourself aud yeur neighborhood, are loo tnuoh inolinsd to ro to the County Council to auk for help which oanuot really be given, instead of applying to tho proper parties, the municipalities who own tho road, who are interested and would be benefitted by the improvement. The County Council Is Uot a Legislature or a Parliament; it can pssa do law; its functions* are to equalize the assessment rolls of the different municipalities hr or- dor that by direct taxation eaoh should pay its legitimate share of the administra tion of justice and othor matters Interest ing ibe county at large. Its fanotioaa ar very muoh restricted. The roada aro vest ed in the Joual municipalities and only be- 00 mo "county loaota when thoy aro assumed by the county as roads in the general inte rest, loading roads through the county m which the whelo couuty has an mtorest and after the municipalities interested have given their avsont. Byliove mo it ia high time that there should bo nothing more hoard ia tho County Council of rsquoatu from tho gon- oral fund for help to any local road. No municipality in Essex is a pauper and enti tled to bet; money contributed by the others by thrcot taxation to improve their local roads. Eaoh mumeipality ia fully ablo to tax their own psopls to improve gradually all their own roads. Maiden, that I repre sent, has a small population, only 20,700 acres of laud, of whioh 1,700 are marabou; it nan no lake front that oan bo approach ed. The ratepayers have steadily spent money at the rata ot 93,000 a year, for a groat many yearn, to improvo thfeir roads, all their roads, and to drain their township They have not aoked^ior begod from she County Couuail or othsrs. You say that Maiden is all ri^bt, that she has but two townlines andeuo tap drain ; that is true. Maiden is all right, thanks te the spirit of her ratopaysra who have boon willing to.bo taxud to booome all right, who have saved law oxpomos by having only ono tap druiu (which tkey oould not help), who have ditched the whole township at a minimum oest without ths drainage e'ot, and by mu tual forbearance and publto spirit. Yes, Maldon is all right I and all other town- uhipB oould be right like Mai don if tho people would follow Ifaldon's example. Nobody over gave Maiden anything.. She has paid in proportion more county rates thau othor townships, bomg equalized vory high; she has paid highly for criminal jus- tioe aud h&* hardly ever any case in the aourfcs; but It 1b not a flood reason because MaldoHJH allriiiht andbas improved her own roade that she ehould pay to improve roads iu other municipalities. "You ay she has only two towulmee. what advantage is that? On her twe other fronts instead of having a joint road with another muni, oipuhty towards whloh she wOuld only ay her share sue has to keep alone a river road aad a lake road away from tho lake on account of the marshse, : Towuliues are really tbo sanest roads to keep in a municipality because the muni cipality has only one half of the road to maintain. Now, to real county roads, you know my position on that. X am no more backward than any rublio spirited as an in the county. X am aMd'tave bean In the favor of assuro- lug~ a number of really leading roacU throughout the county, roads leading from the ends to the centres of bualnese, in whioh all the nmniolpahiiei oould be equally aud|fairly interested and of raiaiag a sufficient sum to make and" maintain uaid roads, bHt I am not iu favor of special grants to oirtam municipalities for loaal roads, and I nevor will be, because it is noither just nor proper, and because the Couuty Council has uo right to disorirauate in favor ef any particular local read even thovgh my boat friends snay bo interested in them.
