around the city have disappeared. Arabi
Pasha has written in reply to the hae-
dives demands a long letter, which
lhe KEedive declares unsatisfactory.
Arab says he did not intend TO
make war, but as the powers are deter
mined to force an attack be considers it
better TO fight at once. He expresses his
willingness to come to Alexandria II the
Khedive will induce the English fleet and
troops to withdraw. II the Khedive cannot
do this, Arab recommends him to send 2
Minister to his camp TO discuss the situs-
ton.
ArabI Pasha has cut the telegraph line
which connected him with the palace, and
by which the Ministry constantly cOmmu-
nlczted with him. A mounted messenger
had also been passed 70 and fro with docu-
ments. The British outposts stopped an
Egyptian officer bearing the khedive' IS
dismissal of Arab, which therefore
has not reached him. The palace
officials Eallege that they can find nobody
willing TO convey the document to Arab, as
he would probably behead any officer bear
ing bis dismissal. Large numbers of Arabs
are returning from the country. Arab
Pasha has appointed Ali Feima, a notorious
AnglO-Phobist, to the command OF the Suez
canal
LATER.-The Khedlve has found an officer
Arab Pssha's dismissal 10 his camp.
The idea OF occupying RAmleh has been
abandoned. Five hundred maFines will
occupy seven different centres, which it
is expected win place the whole town under
efficient surveillance. Native police are
being organized to act under the military

PARIS, July lS.-A telegram from Con
uAo Ia al Dit al,
Ambassador, and MARQUIS de NOailles, the
French Ambassador, have been instructed
to submit to the conference the question of
the protection OF the Suez canal, and to
propose that the execution of its decisions
shall be entrusted to certain powers.
In the Chamber Of Deputies to day debate
began on the Egyptian question. NJ. de
Frevcinet said he recognized the existence
In Egypt Of aspirations which must be taken
account OF and nascent nationality for
which Europe must show sOlicitude. 1t
was necessary to restore order but at the
same time to see whether the institutions OF
the country ought not to be modified. NJ.
de Freycinet said he considered that armed
Intervention, which a few weeks ago was
not justified, had become imperative since
the occurrence in Alexandra, In which
French subjects had been molested and
massacred. This state of things, he
+
intervene. In view of the present
state Of affairs, however, prudent govern
ment must endeavOT to act with Europe.
The E0glish alliance, he said, had never
been shaken, but France had wished stimuli
taneously to appeal to the European con-
cert. England had taken the initiative in
having recourse to European concert. France
at once acceded. NJ. de Fieycinet continued:
Turkish troops will intervene under authori-
" OF the Khedive, without entering into
the internal aft airs of Egypt, II Turkey
refuses, we shall probably receive man
date from Europe to intervene, but shall
only accept IL on condition of its being well
defined. The SUeZ canal cannot cease to be
free even II France must be one Of the pow
ers who will have TO protect it. But in regard
to the canal, France desires to submit the
question to he conference, while reserVing
the liberty of action. An understanding in
this sense was concluded yesterday with
E0gland. An English alliance and Euro
pean concert have been the points kept in
view throughout by France.
M. Gambetta spoke in approval Of NJ. de
Frey ycnets course in adhering to the al
lance with England, but said he considered
the credit demand insufficient. He censured
the Cabinet for accepting Turkish inter-
ventioB, aud asked if it was possible to
guarantee that the Turks would not
