The Bombarament of A1elxiaih d.
iria. -.. .

New York Herald. II. y
The bombardment of Alexandria
began this morning. All but the
British vessels had left the harbor,
their bands playing national airs, their
colors flying at the mast.i Arab
terms OF peace had been offered and
rejected. He refused to Surrender
the forts and brayed the oonse,
quenoes. t,s 40 6Ivr 50 .4s,
Thus the Egyptian campaign be-
gins. Alexandria has known strange
vicissitudes, but none more strange
than this, since Amfu, the lieutenant
of Omar, captured her and wrote to
his master: II have taken the great
city of the West" She has seen
great sights. Through her ports has
passed the commerce Of India and
Arabia. Leaders of Greek thought
have conversed in her gardens. An,
tony and Cleopatra have loved in her
palaces. Her libraries museums,
monuments, have been the marvel Of
the world. And to. day she lies at
the mercy Of a rabble, ruled by an
Egyptian adventurer, dominated by
British guns. nis,ar6.la =
From the artillerist' s point of view
the bombardment will be of the highest
importance. 1t will do much to show
that the naval battles of the 7tuture
will be those, not of feet against feet,
but of shirs against land defenses.
The duel Of the Huasear and the
CHILEAN iron clads in the South
American war will probably be one OF
the last ever fought in the open sea.
A new style of maritime war has come
In with the use of steam and of nro.
tecting armor. Torpedoes and steam
rams have replaced the old system Of
exchanging cannonades Copenhagen
aud Algiers, Acre and Sebastopol saw
the last of the wooden walls of England.
To day the time has come for such
vessels as those which are leading the
bombardment of Alexandria-their
aggregate displacement amounting 10
52, 754 tons,their armament comprising
four 50 ton guns, ten % ton, twenty
six lS ton, twelve II ton, FIVE 6l ton
guns, and their crews including 3,l39
officers and men.

"A dispatch to the Tines confirms
the statement that q body of marines
and sailors was about to be landed and
also says that thebulk Of the Egyptian
army is at Rosetta, forty miles north
eastof Alexandria, and at Damanhour,
thirty.eight miles southeast of Alex
andria. The soldiers had Joined in
looting the city before leaving It. D
The FIRE of the Invincible was very
effective against the Ras Ell Tin tort.
Two Of the twelve ton guns were
found reared on end, in consequence Of
being struck by shells. Admiral
Seymour telegraphsi the following this
morning; "Terms were made for the
surrender of the forts as at first de-,

The destruction of Alexandra is
well nigh complete. What British
guns failed to demolish or destroy was
left to the mercy of the flames and
MOslem fanaticisw. The British
lacked a force sufficient to land at
once and take advantage of their
signal victory. A few thousand troops.
thrown into the place Immediately,
after the bombardment would.
have saved the city aud restored
order. The temerity and arrogance
of Egyptians invited their destrue-
ton, and one of the fairest cities o.
the East is now a mass Of smoking
ruins. But they are not the only
sufferers, The wealth OF all foreigners
has been swept away, and hundreds OF
Europeans and Christians are report
ed to be massacred. There can be no
doubt Of this--and the end is not yet
1t is reported that Arab Pasha is
marching on Cairo. Wherever he is
he can rallya sufficient force Of Mus
sulmen to continue stubborn and
very serious resistance. He can retire
to points in the interior, where iron
clads and regular armies cannot fol-
low. But aside from this, if England
is about to gain any great advantage
over the other great powers of Europe
in the occupation and control Of Egypt
it will create jealousies which may
lead to still mere serious difficulties.
The whole world is looking on with
an intense interest, 1t is a question
which affects, more or less, the whole
of Europe. The leading powers can
not be disinterested spectators of the
great historic tragedy going on. En-
gland is compelled to defend her right
of way by the Suez canal to the last
extremity.

GOVERNOR Hawkins aud Secretary
Of State d. A. Num- went to New
York last week to sign the new bonds
to be issued under the 6O-3-4-5 6 act.
The bonds were delivered by the
Franklin Printing Company only last
Thursday, but Colonel M. 7. Polk had
establishes funding agency in the
Continental National Bank building
as early as the 7th Of June. At this
Office old bonds have been exchanged
for the State Treasurer's certificates,
which are to be exchanged for new
bonds when the latter are ready. The
total amount of certificates issued has
fallen a little short of 100000.
The bondholders' slowness in refund
ing is accounted for by Colonel Polk:
First, from the objection of present
holders to exchange their negotiable
security for one that is not negotiable,
such as the Treosurer's certificates;
and second, because the continued
agitation of the debt question in Ten
nessee has led many bondholders TO
doubt the permanency of the debt
settlement. The Colonel is Sanguine,
however, that many bonds will soon
arrive from Europe to be funded, that
home holders will now come forward to
fund and that the late settlement will
stand. In talking to a Tribune report
or the other day, he declared that
enough Democrats in the State
would vote with the Republicans to
sustain the settlement, and that two
thirds of the next Legislature would
favor its enforcement, and levy taxes
enough to carry it out for two years
longer. That there is virtually an
alliance between certain class Of
Democrats and the Republicans of
this State, no one any longer denies
We believe, however, that there is
enough of the true Democracy left to
carry the State in spite Of the coali
ton.
