THE EXPEVITION TO EGYPT, New York, July —A London cable saye: The decision of the goy- ernment to send an cxpedition to Egypt is understood to be due, firstly, to the energetic representations of Admiral Seymour; eecondly, to the private assurances from Constantino- ple that the suttan rcfused to send troops to Egypt; thirdly, to the sud. den change of front of the Freuch ministry, M. de Freycinet adopting Gambeita’s policy, coupled with declarations that other Europeau powers will asgent in the joiut ocou- pation., Tho steadily increasiug y res- sure of English public opinion counts for something.

The deficioncy bill is still in con- ferenco, the amendment giving sena- tors mileage for tho special sessions being the only point of difference, The conference committee on the river and harbor bill failed to agree yesterday and adjourned till Tuesday. Thero is much comment in congres- sional circles on the action of the pres- idont and his cabinet regardieg the river and harbor bill. A special meeting was held yisterday for that purpose, The friends of the bill regard it as somewhat remarkable that it should bo given out officially that the cabinet is considering the question whether the president should veto a bilt which has not yet boen passed by congre and that this should oecur at a time when the bill is before a conference committes. It is intimated by the friends of the measure that this course of the president and his cabinet has boen taken to frighten congress into cutting down the appropriations. The only appre priations which can be touched by congress are thaitems in- serted by the senate. The most lm- portant of these items are an addition- al appropriation of $877,000 for the Mississippi below Cairo, $100,000 for tho survey of the Hennepin canal and 500,000 for tho reclaiming of the Potomac flats. The prospect is that all these amendments will be stricken out, although the friends of each will make a hard fight, THE WORK AAEAD, The senate has still the revenue, naval and sundry civil appropriation bills to disposo of, besides three ap- propriation bills m conference, one of which the houses differ widely.

The feeling for early adjournment is growing rapidly. Fifty representa- tives have directed the postmaster of the house to send mails to their state restdences. It will be difficult to keep a quorum together beyond the present week. A MERRICK J. JOSLYN, of Illinois, has been tendered and ac- cepted the position of aseistant secre- tary of the intecior.
