patch to the Central News Agency says !:
"Arabi Pasha is still parleying with the
Khedive. The latter has intimsted that no
terms will be accepted except unconditional
surrender"
The home government has ordered Ad-
mirsl Seymour to establish a censorship
over cable messages in consequence of the
repeated dispatch of detailed accounts of
the British position.
The Posts Berlin correspondent tele-
graphs that the vote in the French Chamber
Of Deputies rejecting the bill granting an
Egyptian credit is viewed by Germany with
satisfaction as indicating French policy of
peace and nOn-intervention."
The Times has the following from Alex
aadris; "The Bank of Egypt, the Ottoman
Bank and the Credit Lyonnaise have re-
opened. NJ. de Lesseps has told Arab that
IL he leaves the suez canal alone, neither
France nor Italy will touch him. The Aus
trian Consul has arrived here from Port
Said. He states that De Lesseps addressed
a crowd of Arabis supporters, aud spoke in
terms ostile to England and France, saying
that they were strangers on Egyptian soil.
The result was that the Germans who had
landed to protect their consulate returned
on board their vessel, and the Euglish and
French Admirals abandoned their inten-
lions Of landing lest disturbances should
follow De Lesseps' speech.
The Times, In a leading article, SAYS
"Apart altogether from the evidence of the
double-dealing of the Porte furnished by
-, Frra ~ fc 10
months, we have ample reason for believing
that the exnedition 1t has now determined
TO send to Egypt has no other object than
to thWart and oppose the efforts we are now
making to restore order there. It's co-opera.
ton might be accepted If the Turks should
send a moderate contingent TO act
under the orders Of the British commander.
The obvious design of Turkey is to exclude
England altogether, and to main ain that
we have no right in Egypt. It is therefore
mere trifling to continue negotiations foI
pledges of good faith as the proclamation
against Arab Pashs."
The Times says 1t is for the British Cabi-
net to show that It appreciates the gravity
of the situation, and to devi.e measures for
the safe guarding of national interests, and
for the vindieatiOn Of the national honor
both Of which are in serious jeopardy.

ALEXANDRIA, July 3l.-An unconfrmed
report prevails that the garrison of Abou.
kir has surrendered to the British. A
traveller, who has just arrived here from
Stout, reports that Arab has issued q mani
festo declaring that Khedive Tewfik had
sold Egypt to the British and had retired to
England. Arab therefore ordered the peo-
ule to obey him until the Prophet has en-

PoRT SAID, July 31.-M. de Lesseps hsv-
ing heard that Her MsjestY's troop ship
Orion had stopped at Ismailis, and intended
landing men there, started on Thursday
night for that place. He is said to have
declared that the English should land only
after passing over his dead body and that OF
his son Victor. His course is condemned
by all the Europeans here. 1t is said
that he talks of enlisting the services of
A tribe of BedOuius, which, he says, Is
devoted to him, for the purpose Of oppos-
ing by arms any European Intervention in
this part Of Egypt. Admiral Conrad has
telegrsphed to the French Government,
complaining of the behavior OF De Lesseps,
and stating that he is encouraging the ma
tives and increasing the general excitement,
rendering the position much more critical
and the Admiral's task much more difficult
than it otherwise would be.
Cheerif Pasha ridicules the idea of Ad-
miral Conrad's being guided by De Lesseps,
and remarked that this kind of thing en-
couraged the Arabs. The sub Governor
of Port Said accompanied Cheerif Pasha
to Alexandra, in order to give the Khedive
an account Of the state o! things there.
The French ironclad Thetis is at Ismsilis.
There is also an Eoglish gunbosS there
lying close in shore. The Khedive's
proclamation denouncing Arab as traitor
has lust been placarded here. All cores
pondeDce arriving here from the interior is
opened by order of Arab. 1t is believed
that he has Europeans advising him. The
latest news from the interior Is to the effect
that the chiefs of Bedouin tribes, who pre-
vIously have been favorable to the legiti-
mate government, have submitted to the
rebels, and that a perfect understanding
exists between them. IL is said that the
Bedouins have undertaken to furnish
go, 900 men, their chiefs remaining as hos
tages in Arabi's hands.
PARIS. July Sl-A telegram from Con-
stantinople, published in q semi-official
form, says that Lord Dufferin, the British
Ambassador, on being asked what were
England's intentions, replied that the Porte
by its inactivity had compelled England to
assume alone the task Of restoring order in
Egypt, but England would accept Turkish
cooperation, providing the Porte made an
unambiguous declaration of its intentions.
