news that a considerable British force
is under orders to proceed to Egypt.
This is in confirmation of the previous
dispatch regarding the mobilization OF
the army, and the first direct move
England has made in the present Eu-
ropean crisis. The cavalry for the
Egyptian expedition will consist OF
three regiments, the Eighteenth, Nine.
tenth and Twenty-fi first Hussars. The
first troops to land in Egypt will be
replaced by the infantry from Malta,
consisting of the Fortv.second High
land, Seventy first Highland Light In
fantry, Seventy-fourth Highlanders,
and the One Hundred and First Ben
gal Fusileers. These corps will he re-
placed by the Second Battalion of the
Benga! Welsh Fusileers, the Sixty
ninth and One Hundred and Second
Regiments; and the Second Battalion
of the Rife Brigade, all from Gibral-
tar. These will remain at Malta until
replaced by other troops Of the line,
not yet named. from England, and will
then move to Egypt. The Brigade
Guards, consisting of two battalions OF
Grenadiers, Second Battalion of Cold
Streams. and the First Battalion nj
Scotch Flu Ulcers, will move direct from
England to Egypt. Col. De Horscie,

mand the brigade. In addition to the
above force, 5000 men, all natives, and
all Moslems, will be SEN to Egypt
from India. This will make a total
as nearly as possible of $1,000 men.

is now believed to De the solution of
the problem by which the Queens
vessels may pass uniinpeded through
the canal, and that no %belligereDt YES

proprietorship Is the only means Sc
curing this end. The time for half
measures and the expectant policy has
passed.
