DE LEssEPs OFF FOR EGYPT.
De LessepsIeaves for Egypt tomorrow.
ENGLAND PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED.
A dispatch from Vienna says it is ad-
mitted in government circles that England
is perfectly justified in her vigorous action
against Arab Pssha's 'sttitude of provoca-
ton, and so long as England pursues this
Line OF aanduct- -shA will meet with no opposi-
ton from the powers.
ARABS DIRTY WORK.
A dispatch from Alexsndria reports that
the Egyptian ministers wefe not aware yes
lerday of Admiral SeymoIE's uitimatum, be-
cause it was intercepted by Arab Pasha.
CREATED A SENSATION IN PARIS.
Though OF course it was not unexpected,
mour had bombarded Alexandria this
morning created a great sensation here. The
belief gains ground that England has all
along had j secret understanding with Tur-
key. 1t is even said that DeFreycinet knows
OF secret treaty between the two powers
If the question comes up in the Chamber
this afternoon an exciting scene may be ex-
pected, as the Committee on Egyptian Credit
will doubtless lay its report before the
House. Gambetta may also find the mo-
ment favorable for presenting an elaborate
defense OF his foreign policy, which he has
for some time been meditating.
THE FEELING AGAINST ARABI
A dispatch 10 the Figaro announces that
Tonlba Pasha yesterday proceeded 10 the
palace of Ras ell Tin and ir formed the khe-
dive that he was 10 consider himself pris-
oner. A Gordon of Egyptian troops sur
rounded Dervish Pashas residence, IzeddIn
making eforts to approach the shore TO
carry off DerTish, but without success. The
khedive,,s sons are on board the Mahroussa.
The popular feeling in Aiexandris grows
more and more hostile to Arsbi.
STORY OF THE SalsIs.
Concerning the Egyptian crisis the Debats
tells the following story: On the memor-
able day Of the massacre some fifty Arabs.
led by half naked Maraoout, carrying
green flag and saber, ran amuck through
the streets OF Alex andria.- They made a
prodigious noise 10 keep up their courage,
for long time being lucky enough to meet
only stray Europeans. These they hacked
and slaughtered to their hes2ts' content On
turning into the Rue du harche, however
they came upon three Greeks, seated at a
cnfe smoking. Without stopping for mo-
ment to reflect on the odds arrayed against
him, one of the Greeks quietly put down his
norgite and walked up 10 the Marabout.
That worthy at once set up dismal howl.
"Help! belpl Children of Israel! TO the
rescued They are assassinating us" On
this the Greek snatched the hero's saber out
of his hand and struck him with 1t several
times in the face. Having thus shown him
the measure OF his contempt ne ran him
through the body before his fifty followers
and in the coolest way returned to his nargile.
The Arabs pauic-stricken, bolted round the
corner, and although after this the three
Greeks sat outside the cafe for some hours
they were not molested.
ANTIPATHY TO FRANCE.
M. Gabriel Charmes, who lately returned
from long journey through Northern Al
rica, like NJ. John Lemoinne. takes a very
gloomy view OF the situation. He is con-
yinced that the revolt OF Arsbl is bat one
link in the chain of trouble being forged for
France in Africa.
France" he says, mot England, is re-
garded by the Arabs as the great enemy. 1t
is we who TO them represent the hated chris |
Iians; we who hsve snatched away the fair |
est provinces; who reign at Algiers and in |
Tunis, and who have been time out of mind |
virtually sovereign in Egypt. But the hour !
Of revenge is at hand, and the most sacred |
prophecies announce the grand Arab re-
yival at the end of the twelfth century OF |
he Hegira-that is to say, next November. |
5 gns and warnings have been in the air for |
4 year past. The Oran revolt, the successful |
raids of Bou Amema, the pretended victories |
of the Tunisian chiefs, all foretold that the |
heavens would soon be element and the des-
,rt bring forth lis savior. 1t is in Egypt |
above all that the signs OF this Arab revival |
nave been manifest"
PREPARATIONS OF FRANCE.
But France is at last awake to the sense
II its danger. All this week the backwards |

Already, gloss the fact over as one may the |
French navy is on a war footing. When all |
he ships, fitted out ard under sailing or
iers, have left for Egyptian waters, there
will remain, according to NJ. Gambetta's or
gan, Ii Repubhque Frdncaise, just seven
,ardeS-cotes and few armoref cruisers orr |
he defense of the French coast. 1t is ridic-
Ious to suppose that such formidable srna-
nens can be needed TO reduce half dozen
,rumbliug forts and braggart colonels
A gainst whom, then, are they all to be di-
ected? Can it really be against England,
n case the rumor that England has asked
he sultan for permission to build forts at
he entrance of the Susz canal be true?
