RUSSIA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
(Moscow Gazette.)

England is fast becoming q focus of sensa-
tional intelligence, Before we have had time
to recover from our surprise at the dismember-
ment of the Ottoman Empire by Great Britain,
we are told that England prepares for war.
The Times newspaper, indeed, Enthusiastically
remarks that England, instead of hiding her
military arrangements, like other States, prefers
communicating them to her own officers as
well as the world at large. But why does
England prepare for war at ala AS nobody
threatens her, the inference is that she either
means to defend her new Egyptian acquisition
by force of + or else will prevent others
from following her example. Yet there is no
reason to prepare for these contingencies.
England has secretly concluded a most
astonishing bargain, and no European Power
pursUes any plans dangerous to peace. More
ever, were the three Northern Powers really
intent upon schemes such as are falsely
attributed to them In England, the mo-
b~ilisation of the British troops would be
a very quixotio proceeding. But the North
ern Empires are bent upon the maintenance OF
peace, and their negotiations are solely prolOng-
ed with a view to that end. France, too, has
no idea of war, painfully excited as she may be
by EnglandS appropriating a Canal for which
the world is indebted to French enterprise and
capital. Accordingly, the mobilization of the
British troops is nothing bat mere gasconade,
and as such it must be confessed Is in keep
ing with the tone of the British press. The
French journals, however, may BIO right in
suspecting that the commercial transaction IN
tended 10 make England the mistress OF the
Suez Canal will eventually lead to military
occupation and to the degradation OF the Khe-
dive to the position OF o Hlndoo PrInce''

loss, according to the same official version, was
immense. 1t is announced that RAs RAGA,
Vizier of the King of ABYssINIA, RAs OURANIA,
Commander in-Chief, together with the Govern
ors of Adua and Hamacin, have persisted, with
thousands of their men, Soon after the battle
an army composed of Infantry and Cavalry,
commanded by the KING himself, appeared be-
fore Atkhal and summoned the Egyptian gar
risOn. The latter refused to surrender, or
temporized, and, the Abyssinian army having
withdrawn, the Egyptians abandoned the place,
spiking the guns they could not remove, and
falling back to Harkiku, near Massowah.
Such is the story told by the survivors of the
Expedition. 1t must be taken with the usual
allowance for ford colouring, but 1T may be con-
oeded that the Egyptians fought with bravery
and were overwhelmed by numbers. Such
disasters are recorded in the annals of every
army, The Egyptian force was pushed on into
the heart of a country where they could obtain
no support, and among a people of whose mum,
bers and resources they knew nothing. But
this reckle8sness Of the leaders seems likely
to engage the KHEDIvE's Government in a
still more arduOus enterprise. An Egyptian
Expedition has been cut off, and it must be
avenged. If the enemy prevailed by his num-
bers, be must be taught that numbers will be
no protection against the power of the SOYer-
elgn ct EGYPT and the Yal0uT OF his troops.
"Oor brave soldiers will be "avenged." His
Highness the KHEDIvE has decided to send a
complete Expedition under the command Of
his ExcelIeucy RArIB PAsHA, Commander-in-
Chief of the Egyptian Army. -Four steamers
filled with troops have already left Suez for
Masaowah, and the rest will shortly follow.
The Expedition will be composed of four regi-
ments of Infantry, two sqaadrons Of Cavalry,
and three batteries Of Artillery. His ExceIlen-
oy RArIB PAsHA will have for chief of his
Staff General LoRING, and will be accompanied
by other superior officers. Our Correspondent
at Alexandra says that five thousand men
have already left 6uez, and more are leaving
every day. Some elephants recently imported
from India have been sent with the Expedition,
which, of course, means marches over the
mountains with guns, after the manner of the
British in 1868. A proper Commissariat is in
course Of organization, and foreigners of mill
tary experience have joined the expeditionary
force.
