ing on him. He has cut the telegraph
which connected him with the Palace and
by which the Ministry constantly com
municated with him. Mounted messengers
had also been passing Ia and fro with doeu-
ments The British outposts stopped the
Egyptian officer bearing the khedive's dis
missal of Arab, which, therefore, has not
reached him. Arabi's force consists OF
10 900 men, who are represented to be in
tensely dlscontented and surrounded by
starving women and children. Recruits are
enticed to the camp by spromises of un-
limited pluhder, and the force is held
together by the assertion that the English
will kill all who return to Alexandria.
Arab and Toulba Pashas have utterly lost
prestige by their gross powardice during the
bombardment The Khedive says that POS
Europeans have been killed at Kair-el-Dwar.
The fires In the city are nearly all extin-
guished. An attempt was made last eve
ming to set fire to the st. Marks building,
the headquarters of the Americans. The
police arrangements are now thoroughly
effective. The idea of occupying Ramleh
has been abandoned by the British Five
hundred marines will occupy seven different
centres, which is expected to place the
whole town under efficient surveillance.
Native police is being organized to act under
the military police, and detective force has
been instituted to search for suspicious per-
sons. Incendiaries and robbers are sum
marily shot. Four new graves were dug in
the square yesterday morning, ready for the
bodies of pIunderers, and before night three
of them were filed. Arabs guilty of plum
der and arson are brought in every few
minutes.
The fears of native outbreak at Cairo
are increasing. The active warlike prepara-
tions of Egyptian soldiers have convinced
the people of Cairo that the city will be
sacked and burned and Its foreign popula-
tion massacred. The Suez Canal has not as
yet been attacked at any point.
LONDON, July ia correspondent OF
the NelCS telegraphs from Alexandria, July
rs, as follows: "Arabi Pasha is still issuing
orders and making appointments in the
Khedive's name. Arabi's forces on the
canal are estimated at 10000 including the
Bedouins, who gave adhesion to Arab four
days ago The wounded Arabs from Alex
andria were sent to Cairo The sight of the
plunder, which is being sold in the bazaars,
has stimulated the Cairenes to initiate the
Alexandrians. The last Englishman who
left Cairo and arrived at SueZ describes the
people as wild and threatening. He thinks
| the European portion Uf the city will be
burned. The ulemas are preaching war for
| Arab Pasha. The latter said when the first
| shot of the bombardment was fired that all
the principal traitors to his cause must be
put away ; there were only about 40, and 10
| minutes would suffice. The loyal Ministers
naturally feel anxious"
The Daily Telegraph has the following :
| Arab Pasha threatens to cut the Mahmou-
dieh Canal, which supplies the town with
water. lie now prevents provisions entering,
SO that, as numbers of Europeans are re-
turning, there is likelihood of famine.
| An unsuccessful attempt has been made to
| fire Cairo. An attempt to seize an English
| mans house there has been frustrated by
the loyal Governor.
/ LONDON, July S1.-The correspondent oi
the Times at Paris, says "The idea of Il
| renewal of close cooperation of France
with England has now forced itself upon
the French Government Cabinet coun-
sci has adopted resolution to this efiect-a
| resolution conditional on three things
namely, Turkeys reply to the Identical note
of the powers inviting the Porte to send
troops to Egypt, the decision of the confer
ence, and the sanction of Parliament Sub
ject to these conditions, the two Govern
ments are now entirely agreed IL
regard to the terms upon which their forces
will undertake to restore order In Egypt"
A dispatch to the NenS from Marseillei
saws that all French marines retired from
service who have not served 5l mopthi
have been ordered to return to the navy
The Raiah of Putteeala has placed hi
troops at the disposal oil the GoVefnmen
for service in Egypt.
The troop ship Euphrates, at Portsmouth
is ordered to be In readiness within twelv
hours. She will probably take 1000 men t.
Alexandria. The tank vessel Chester ha
sailed for Egypt 1t is stated that the Gov
ernment has informed shipowners that
will not require to hire any more transports
The British men-of-war lneonstant, Tour
maline, and Carysfort have arrived a
Cyprus. After coaling they will proceed t
/ Egypt
: Sir Charles Dixie, Under Foreign Secretary
said the identical note addressed by til
, powers to the Porte is still unanswered.
Mr., Campbell Bannerman, Finaneia
Secretare of the War office, replying to
question of Sir Henry Drummond-W Vol
with regard to the inaetion of Adnlira
, Seymour on the occasion OF the massacre a
Alexandria on June IL, said that tn
! Government entirely approved the conduc
: of Admiral Seymour. If Sir Henry wishe
to impugn it, he ought to do so by direc
motion
: Sir Henry Drummond-Wolf moved an ad
iournmept of the House and dwelt on til
misleading character OF the Government
replies. He believed that Admiral Seymou
did not land the marines on June IL, b.
a cause ordered not to, and that the Cover
u ment remained inactive in order to allo
Arab Pasha to gather strength.
Mr., Gladstone said that he took the fu
responsibility OF Admiral Seymour's action
The instructions to land force at AlexaI
= drla were conditional. and 1t did not appei
e to him necessary to do SO.
/, Sir Stafford Northcote thought the Que
: tion of Sir Henry Drummond-Wolf relatil
g to Admiral Seymour's authority to Ian
d troops very natural one, in view of ii
IS grave events at Alexandria.
e Mr.. Gladstone said no instructions ha
= been given to Admiral Seymour bearing c
q the point raised subsequent to May ID.
:, The Standard understands that the opp
IL sition leaders have decided to introduce
motion eondemning certain points In Il
Governments Egyptian policy. The motto
will probpbly be made by Robert Bourke
; FRANCES POSITION DEFINED.
