| on the transport Orient, in presence of
| the prince and princess of Wales. The
British ambassador at Constinople has
again requested the sultan to issue a
| proclamation denouncing Arab Pasha
as rebel, but received no satisfaction.
The absence of Onou, the Russian rep
| resentative, from the session of the in
ternational conference alone prevented
q satisfactory arrangement of difficult
| ties. At q council of 384 leading
Egyptians it was resolved that Arab
Pasha should defend the country until
men of-wsr have been ordered to Port
Said, and Admiral Conrad has been
ordered to maintain strict neutrality.
Admiral Seymour went ON the Helicon
| to Aboukir for reconnaissance, and
found work in progress at the forts,
which were well armed. The admiral
has been ordered to establish q censor
ship on cable messages.
ADVICE TO THE KHEDIvE.
Admiral Seymour has addressed the
| following important letter to the khe-
dive:-"In the proclamation of your
highness of the 22nd of July, which
will be read and understood by the
Egyptian people, the action Of the
| British government and the necessity
for this action have been distinctly
| set forth. Nevertheless, having regard
to the false statements circulated by
Arab Pasha, the leader of the rebel
lion, and those acting under his orders,
I, as admiral in command of the Brit
| ish ships, think it right at once to re-
peat to your highness that the British
government has no intention OF
conquering Egypt for itself nor inter-
fering in any way with the religion or
liberties of the Egyptians. Their only OBJ
ject is to protect your highness and the
people OF Egypt against the rebels.
| The British government is determined
to suppress the rebellion against Your
Highness and to restore order in the
country by relieving it of the oppres-
beg Your Highness will as an act of
kindness warn the Egyptian soldiers
not to obey the rebel commanders, but
to return to their homes and to &C
knowledge Your Highness as their
sovereign. The British government,
being well disposed towards the people
of Egypt, advise them to act in regard
to the rebel Arab and his accomplices
as traitors to their sovereign and ene-
mics to themselves and their country

"BEAUCHAMP SEYMOUR"
This letter produced an excellent eff
feet at the palace, where it is hoped it
will greatly strengthen the khedive's
position in the country. The letter
will be published in the Moaiteur Egyp-
tieW tomorrow. Among the British
there doubt as to the advisability of
the government committing themselves
to the independence of Egypt at the
beginning of struggle whose extent
and magnitude there is no foreseeing
at present. The water of the canal
continues to fall. At this rate the city
troops in six days will be entirely de-
pendent upon the wells, cisterns and
| condersers.
FRENCH DUPLIcITY.
| An important seizure was made to-
day. 1t consists of the secret CORES
pondence which passed prior to the
bombardment between tine military
party and the French officials. 1t
was carried on through the agency of
M. Ninet, a Swiss gentleman and a
strong supporter of Arab, at whose
camp at Kafr-el.Dwar he is now be-
lieved to be. The correspondence is
said to be very important. When pub
lished it will produce very strong
sensation. 1t is said to prove incon-
testibiy all the suspicious entertained
as to the military party being secretly
supported by the French.
