correspondent cables rs follows:
A member OF the Government assures
me the reports OF Arabi's intentions to
offer terms OF surrender are entirely TN
founded.
Very little confidence can be placed in
the correspondents at Alexandria. All
important probabilities are carefully hid
den from them.
An examining party approached the
forts at Aboukir this morning. The
Egyptians made ready to FIRE, and the
Enriishman retired shr,,ntIv
The Government has little information
OF the progress OF Arabi's affairs. II is not
sangnIne he will surrender. The only terms
will be punishment for himself and off,
cers, the disbandment Of the bulk OF his
troops, and the punishment OF all sus.
pected OF completely in the alleged mas.
sacre.
Arabi sent delegates yesterday to meet
n British flag OF truce. All haushtily de-
clined to talk about surrender on any
terms. They were most insulting TO the
British officers. They said they would re-
sist TO the bitter end; that Arab had the
whole country with him. The deputies re-
tired, sneering at the English professions
and threats.
There seemed no foundation for the re-
ports OF Arabi's acts OF hostility to the in
terests OF Europeans. Arabi is obviously
playing waiting game. The report that
he took customs money at Alexandria now
proves to be lie. A telegram from him 10
private party here bitterly complains OF
prejudicial reports. Arab has means OF
knowing the English movements; even
officers surrounding the khedive commu.

Lord DufEerin, British Ambassador, rG-
questing the immediate issue OF procla-
nation against Arabi pasha, states that
such demand can not be made by Eng
land alone, but should proceed from con-
ference OF the Powers, in which case it
would receive due consideration.
The German representative was instruct

ALEXANDRIA, July 29.-The fort at Gabar
was destroyed this morning. :. gp
Admiral Seymour will reconnoiter the
Aboukir forts tomorrow. There appears
to be some doubt as to whether the bonn
bardment oil the forts will take place, be-
cause 1t is supposed the prisoners held by
the Egyptians are confined therein.
A large powder magazine ut .lekherrom,
from which it was said Arab Pasha had
recently taken stores, has been blown up
by the British. Gg =m'i
