The Egyptian Crisis.

NIGHT ATTACK ON A BRITISH OUTPOBT.

IGNOMINIOUS FLIGHT OF Till 6Ors.

A second edition of yesterday'. Daily Tel -graph con-
tained the following telegram from lie special
oorrespoodennt :
AL/Ma/DMA, Wednesday morning—We are making
another reoonnaisance in the dir on of Arabi's flight.
In order to prevent any exaggerated reports or lin-
nets/say alarm. I hasten to advise you at once of a
scare which took place hers last night, attended, I
regret to ray, on the part of a small body of our troops,
with a neglect of instructions and a precipitate flight,
which were t ray the lead highly discreditable.
The events took place at the clamp of trees which
forma • conspicuous feature of the landscape on the
Swat Water Cana,. This position Is about the °entre
of our line of out; oste, and was guarded by one com-
pany of the 60th Rifle,. The men were duly posted
there last night, under the Co mead of Major Ward.
About ten p m. I sccompaied the Brigade-General
on his inspecton, and everything appearei to be all
right. Knowing the Lippman°, of the position and
the trying nature of the duty, the General cautioned
the men as to the necessity of maintaining absolute
steadiness, and in the event of their being attacked by
the enemy in force, he instructed them to fall back in
order on the barricade I house by the aide of the canal.
To all appearance these instructions were perfectly
understood, and we left haying no doubt that they
would in the caws of emergency be Witty followed.
Such, however, was not the cane.
About two o'clock the eremy suddenly a on
the left of our our port. Though there are widest
discrepancies in the accounts of what took place, it
appears clear that the rebels, who had both infantry
and cavalry, came up very rapi Ily without being
observed, and, before our men had time to check
their advance charged the clump of tie is at a great
pas. The Rides fired a single volley and then broke
and ran along the bank of the canal. The outlook
would seem to have been very defective, but, wore*
still, the retreating traps neslected all the orders they
had received abut falling hack on the barricadea
honae.and
they had reached the fortified waterworks about a
mile from the clump of trces. Here all but 4 halted.
These 4 never stopped we'd they reached the camp,
where they spread the toot ridiculous reports that
they had lost all their c .mradea, and that Major
Ward was last eeen surrounded by the enemy, and
such like nonsense. Instantly • company was moved
forward on the bank of the canal. We found no trace
of the enemy, who had apparently not followed the
fugitives far, but they Med taken the rifles that had
been th• own away, and secured the reserve ILlegatlili-
lion. We do not seem to have lost a man, and cannot
of course say whether the Egyptians had any killed,
but one dead horse of the enemy's was discovered,
We now occupy the clump of trees.
The who's camp is Vrrib'y indignant dila conduct
of the the stare auder the circumstances being
inexcusable, the neglect of the commanding ofßoer's
precautions unaccountable, and the whole affair greatly
to be regretted. It is clear that • severe training ern
be required with some of our troops in outpost duty.
The War office has received the (Wowing
_copy of •
telegram received by the Secretary of War, dated
Alexandria. August 2, 5.25 p.m. :—" Left front

eating Aral I," and then asked whether be preferred
staying there or returning to his ship. The boy
replied that he preferred the ship, as he had work to
do. Arabi said. ' Exoellent ;you prefer work to Me-
nses ; meanwhile, you shall go to Cairo," and gave
orders for his good treatment. —Ma.
It Is a somewhat thankless task to correct the errors
of European journalism, but the British public ought
to start fa'r when the red work begins, and we most
discard many idle storks. First and foremost, there
has been no manure in Cairo. Secondly, Arabi bee
not proclatmed • Holy War, but merely resistance to
the English. Tbis is of Immense importance to the
well-being of the Mohammedan world in India and
elsewhere. A Holy War would mean a general rising
against the Christians, and much cruelty and Wood-
shed. Thirdly, there has been no battle and no defeat
of any mad, great or small, since the one serious
struggle of the bombardment. No Egeigh wider has
been killed wounded in all the potting" at the
outposts, and we have no proof that one solitary Arab
has been nit by our men. Fourthly, there was no
panic the night before lad. Our advanced picket ran
In when threatened by Ma Arab cavalry. and went
out again when reinforced by the main yard, and
there the matter aided. There have, unfortunately,
been some cages of brutal violence to Europeans,
but not many, and the object of most of the inventions
has been to ant England ttp tn energetic soda now
that we an fairly launched upon the Egyptian
campaign. It is wakes to waste words about these
various fables. I went to the front this afternoos and
saw • very decided advance of our lino toward's Arab's
position. The 313th Regiment moved out from Bemish,
and marched on to the sands of the dry lake • whilst
the Rifles, with an armed train and a detachment of
sailors, supported the Rol" Engineers, who hastily
equipped the new work. We amid see some Arab
vedettes in the distance, and our mounted infantry
went forwards towards their flank, but the downy
remained sliest. Information from Caro dates that
