THE THUNpRRER's IDEAS
LONDON, July 12.-The Times this morning
says, 1t is contemplated to call ont 1000 of
he army reserve to take the places OF the I'm.
trained men belonging to the regiments prepar-
ed to proceed to Egypt.
The Times in leading article this morning
says: Musuruo Pasha, Turkish ambassador,
had an interview Yesterday with Earl Gran.
of Alexandria be countermanded. Earl Gran.
willie replied that circumstances compelled the
British government to take decisive action,
and that it's decision could not be revoked.
We do not hesitate to say that the effect OF
England's determination has been to produce
q most favorable impression on public opin-
ion, and the judgment Of European statesmen,
representative OF the powers, has already ex-
pressed satisfaction at the governments ac-
ton. There Is therefore no ground whatever
for the assertion that the action OF England
Is judged by Europe as high handed or ul-
necessary. II the porte refuses to in
tervene IN Egypt, we shall gladly welcome
the assistance of France, and the signs are
not wanting that De Freycinet has shown
tmidity little to his countrymen's taste. Gam
betta's speech yesterday in one OF the bureaus
OF the chamber in the course OF which he said
the most serious feature was that England
and France after after having acted together
In Alexandria In presenting the ultimatum
had parted company, and that if the separa-
ton proved definite, never would France nave
been in a more serious position.
A correspondent writing about yesterdays
bombardment, says: the gunboats played
| active parts, creeping close TO the forts and
silencing several guns. The Infexible made
splendid practice. The Temeraire was
| ashore some time bat foated bsequently.
The gun-boat Condor ran within 1900 yards

was given to cease firing. She had sllenced
| the three great guns in the fort. Admiral
| Seymour signalsd swell done Condor" The
| Superb has Nv holes in her side. Another
| correspondent sends the following:
One of the officials from Dervisch Pasha,
| who brought letter from the ministry to
l Seymour Offering to dismount the guns, in
formed me that he and many others were net
| sorry that hostilities were about to begin, as
l 1t WAS the only way in which 1t could be made
and the fate OF the two parties, viz, the one in
favor OF the khedive and order, and the other
in favor OF Arab Pasha and anarchy, could be
decided. The officials were conveyed ashore
after Seymour had given him his decision In
| writing.
At $3.50 the order passed TO load with shell,
and satisfaction shone In the faces of the
| sailors. The wind and sun we're both In the
l enemy's favor. 1t was some time before the
smoke shifted enough to afford glimpse of
| the shore, as nothing could be seen from the
deck A midshipman was posted in the main
top TO signal the directions OF the shells and
the accuracy OF the firing improved. No news
| from the town of Alexandra.
| WooLwIcH, Eng, July l2.-The war news
has given encouragement to recruiting.
Young men are coming forward In consider
able numbers. A correspondent at Alexan.

| particularly mentions the deadly effect OF the
l electric broadsldes from the ships which
| attacked the Phoras and Ras FL Tin
forts. The Ibhsxible being furthest
| westward was able to she'll the hexs fort with
| one turret and Ras.el-Ten forts with the other.
| After all the enemy's guns were sllenced, the

tons and useds hrapnel, probably at the re.
l treating soldiers.

ton Is ahoat. The british consul, In pursu-
ance Of Admiral seymour's instructions, has

LONDON, July PA correspondent on
board the Helicon sends the following: The

Der Of shells repeatedly struck the works just
about where the guns were and threw up vast
| volumes of yellow dust. It was often thought
the guns must be demolished, but they ap-
| peared unlnjured when the smoke had cleared.
The funnel of the Superb is pierced and the
plate below the foremost glacis lie torn away.
| One of The boats OF the Inhexible is useless

The Inhe1ible bore the full brunt Of the fire
