Very Unsatisfactory.

| ALEXANDRIA, September 5.-The muir
| derer of the Englishmen, Richardson anC
| Dobson, is sentenced to be hanged Thursday
There has been considerable movement il
the enemy's camp, apparently occasioned BY
/ the arrival of reinforcements-
Nahmoud Fehmy has written a report ad
| dressed to the khediye, with plans revealing
| the positions and strength of the enemy.
TRANSLATION will be sent TO General Wolseley
| From internal evidence it is believed that i'll
| statements are correct.
The man who murdered the two English
meD, Richardson and Dobson, and who is tc
be executed Thursday, has confessed hii
| guilt. He will be hanged in the native
| quarter. A placard in Arabic and English
stating the cause OF the execution, will be
attached to the gallows.
Mahmoud Fehmy denies that he was cap.
| tured by the British troops. He says he
| surrendered. He accuses many of those
composing The encourage of the khedive, in.
cluding Cherif Pasha, prime minister, oi
having communicated with Arab Pasha.
A body of hundred marines made raid
to-day upon the villages between Alexandris
and Meks, and arrested all persons who were
| unable TO give good account of themselves
The authorities are taking stringent meas
| ures to prevent the lndiscriminale landing oi
persons without means or employment. One
| hundred and fifty such persons who landed
| yesterday have been sent to the arsenal
pending decision as TO whether or not they
should be compelled to return on board the
vessels from which they disembsrked.
Operations have been commenced for the
| opening of the old channel beyond Meks,
with view of letting the sea into Lake
Mareotis. 1t will take nearly two months to
| reach a depth OF eight feet.
AT IsMAIIIA.
IsMAILIA, September 5.-The number oi
engines now en- route from Suez and Port
Said brings up the total to nine, which
will be sufficient for transportation purposes
| The Euglish horses are holding out well
The worst of the bot weather seems 10 be
| over. 1t is stated that General Wolseley is
| in high spirits, and confident of success. II
will be considered almost a miracle if Arab
Pasha succeeds in holding Tel Ell Kiber.
1t was soon ascertained by reconDoiss apce
| in the direction of Salihiyeh that the place
has been abandoned by Arab Pasha. i. is
not expected that we shall have enough pro-
visions to be ready 10 advance for a week.
Tue rapid movement from Ismailia to
| Kassasin has outrun the transport service
| once more, and shown that the transport con.
tinues to be the weak point of the English
| In two respects the critics seriously blame
| Sir Garnet Wolseley; 6rst, because, though
knowing Arahi's great strength in artillery
| he refrained from taking more than four OIL
| five guns into action. Continental opinion
| condemns General Wolseley for neglecting tc
use his artillery, and home critics blame him
| for failing 10 bring off the captured gun;
| from Kassasin. The heavy cavalry made q
brilliant and successful charge, but lost theil
| heads in the excitement of the chase aftel
| the flying Egyptians, and permitted the enemy
| TO Withdraw twelve cannon whose gunner.
| the English had sabered. Military opinion
| regards this ludicrous oversight. Gen
eral Wolseley is evidently now gathering
himself together for a forward move mex
| week, when he will have Is, 600 soldiers and
thirty guns at the front.
By strange oversight balloons were
omitted, but now they have been sent fol
| from Ismailia and Alexandra. AT the latter
place Sir Evelyn Wood is strongly ensconced
| The withdrawal of the Highland Brigade
left him seriously denuded of troops and il
absolute anxiety if rising in the towr
| should be conducted with simultaneous at
tack from Kair-el-Dwar. Fortunately rein
| forcements are being sent and the risk may
be tided over for day or two.
| General Wolseley is making every effort
| to organize complete system of supply fol
| the field force. The task is much more Sc
rious than the foreign element in Egypt ii
willing to admit. While the enemy is con
tent 10 be purely on the defensive, it is ru
| mored that Arab Pasha has brought heavy
| guns from Cairo to Tel Ell Kebir to silence
the British forty-pounders on the armed
| train. Matters are proceeding smoothly at
| Kassassih Food is abundant at present, bu
the daily consumption is so great that it will
not be easy to provide supplies for future
use.
/ AT PORT SAID.
PORT SAID, September 5.-Large number
| of Bedouius have again been seen on th
banks OF the canal, between Port Said ant
| Ismailia.
Some rebel officers from Salihiyeh hav
arrived at Ismailia TO tender submission.
Over 500 Arabs are terrifying Salibiyeh
The enemy are enlarging their baggage ant
military stores from Fort Ghemileh.
The fresh-water canal at Ismsilia is fall
ing rapidly. The water company has re
duced the supply at Ismailia and Port Said
Arab Pasha has established line of de
fense from Ell Karaim to Salihiyeh.
AT coNsrANTINoPLE.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, September 5.-The sui
tan's proclamation to the Egyptians ha
been issued. II declares Arab Pssha
rebel for disobeyipg the orders of the khe
dive aud Dervisch Pasha, and thereby pro
voking the intervention of England. l
| stated that the decoration conferred upo
| Arab Pasha was bestowed at the instance o
Dervisch Pasha in consequence OF Arab
Pashs's protestations of fidelity. In con
clusion, the proclamation exhorts all Egyp
tians to obey the khedive.
THE ENGLISH RESPONSIBLE.

Suez Canal Company on the negotiation

tion of the neutrality of the canal. He sal,
