EARL GRANVILLE, Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, sent an official dispatch to Lord Duff
rim, Ambassador at Constantinople, on the
2Ist, containing the British Governments
declaration in reply to the Porte's answer to
the identical note of the powers. In this
declaration Great Britain pronounces the bonn
bardment Of Alexandria by Admiral Seymour
Legitimate act of self-defense against the
warlike operations of the native military, the
chiefs of whom were overtiy defxing the con-
stitutional authorities for whose support and
protection the Government of Great Britain
was pledged. This part Of the declaration Is
made against that portion Of the Sultan's
note in which he explains that his refusal to
interfere with troops in Egypt was based on
the lAcI tn4t the use Oh troops was aNOiQaOlc-
Continuing, the declaration says then En-
gland now sees no alternative but to use
force to end the intolerabls condition Of az
fairs now existing In Egypt, and brought
about by the disloyal action of the military
party. England would much prefer that the
Egyptian disorder should be suppressed by
soldiers Of the Porto alone, but the disorder
cannot be allowed to continue, and II the Porte
finds 1t impracticable for Turkey to send forces
to Egypt, then England must devise some
other measures for the purpose of restoring
order In Egypt In regard to the canal the
declaration asserts that England desires the
canal shall remain open and unrestricted. This
can only be possible when Egypt is quietly
governed and absolutely free from the pre-
dominating influence Of any one power. In
conclusion, the declaration asserts that British
interests in Egypt requires that perfect order
shall exist In that country, and that this order
shah be maintained by q government to which
all powers can agree, and which no one power
shall control
DISPATCH from Alexandria on the 22d says
that German, italian and French refugees were
still arriving from the interior, and barges and
gunboats had been sent to Ismailia to receive
them. The disturbances at Cairo have driven
every European from that city, and It is stated
that number of Christians had been killed
there. A large party Of refugees had to take
the train at Karse-nil on account Of the threat
ening attitude Of the savage mob at the ter
minal station, and at all sta ions along the
line the train was assailed by the natives. The
whole country was in state of anarchy.
The Arabs and the fanatical inhabitants Of
Fantah appeared to be foremost In the perpe-
tration of atrocities. The Governor of that
"a L. l. Ill
posed toward the Europeans, but he was power
less to take decisive steps to effect public Sc
curity, and was Governor of Port Said only In
name. The real Governor was Colonel of o
troop, who was q devoted friend of Arab
Neither the police nor the troops obey the
Governor unless they receive orders from the
Colonel. The Governor is between two fires,
receiving instructions from the Khedive and
from Arab. He has been told that the Khe-
dive, having gone on board an English ship
with his harem, is no longer worthy to rule in
Egypt, and that the people must now choose
between the Khedive and Arab. The tele-
grams from Arab Pasha ane dated Alexandra,
and the natives are deceived by the reports
sent, they still believing that he was success
full at Alexandria meeting Of the Consuls
was held at the house of the Austrian Consul
at Alexandria, on the 21st, who stated that be
hal positive proof that Arab had declared a
holy war, and that his emissaries were preach
ing everywhere the determination OF the Chris
tians. The Austrian Consul proposed that
each Consul should ask to have twenty-five
men landed from ship belonging his nation,
to be stationed at each consulate, and they
agreed TO call upon other Adnirals and Cap
tains OF the men-of-war in the harbor to ask
what steps they proposed to take for security
OF the Europeans In the event OF another out
break. At Port Guemil, six miles from Port
Said. fresh earthwor<s have been thrown up
and fortified, and soldiers constantly coming
in. The Governor, compelled by the Colonel
Of troop seized the money at the custom
house, and the Colonel attempted to get the
money Of the lighthouse department from
Joyce Bey, who, however, sent the money to an
English man-of-war. The Khedive dismissed
Arab Pasha from the office OF Minister of War
on the 2Sd.
