OFF ALEXANDRIA, July n.-6 P. M
A British naval officer hes furnished
me with the following account of the
days operations: Bombardment COM
menced at 7:45 this morning. The
ironclads Suoerb, Sultan and Alexan-
dria engaged and totally destroyed
Fort Pharos and light house batteries
which are at the entrance of the new
port. The fag-ships Invincible, Mon
arch and Penelope took up command
ing places inside the reefs and assisted
from the outside by the Temeraire, at
tackled with destructive effects, the
strong position of Fort Nee, with light
house and shore batteries. The
Inhexible was stationed so rs
to command the light house batteries,
Fort Pharos and Fort Nee at the same
time, and was thus in a position to CO.
operate both with the division outside
and that inside the reefs. The gun
vessels Bittern, Condor, Beacon, Decoy
and Cygnet attacked the Msrabout bat
teries at the entrance of the harbor
and taking close and destructive range,
soon silenced them; after which they
ran in and shelled Fort Nee on the
southern side of the anchorage or outer
harbor. The Invincible, under cover
of her own guns and those of the Bit
tern, then loaded a party of blue jack
cts and marines, who entered Fort Nee
and blew up the heavy guns.
Bombardment practically closed at
noon, though some heavy guns are at
this hour still Smelling Fort Napoleon
A large work is situated at the south
ern angle of the inner harbor, but the
fort does not reply. On the whole, the
Egyptians fought their batteries with
more determination than has been ex-
pected. Several of the earthw orks be-
hind which guns are mounted, were
found to be mere heaps Of sand.
A SUSPICION OF ENGLAND's INFIDELITY.
PARIS, July 1l.-Al,hough it was not
yet the news Of Admiral
Seymour's bombarding Alexandria
this morning created great sensation
here. The belief gains ground that
England has all along had a secret UNI
derstanding with Turkey. 1t is even
said that De Freycinet knew of the
secret treaty between the two powers.
If the question comes up in the Cham
Der this afternoon, an exciting scene
may be expected.
