Admiral Seymour has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Ikhediye regarding the
1alse statement circulated bv Arabi paaha
and those acting under his orders.
i think il right TO repeat that Great Brit
ain has no intention Of c0nquerine EpvDr
1or herself or Of interfering with afly re-
ligion or any liberties Of Egypt Our only
object Is To protect the Khedive$nd the
Egyptians against rebels. Great Britain IL
determined to suppress the rebellion and
restore order. I beg that YOU will o,.'er
the soldiers OF the rebel commanders that
the British government advises Egyptians
TO regard Arabl PAaha and his acconnpliees
nj traitors to their sovereign and enemies
to themselves md their country.

oFder pending the appointment OF 4 new
