His force consists of 4 regiments Of
Infantry, 1900 irregular troops, l regi-
ment of cavalry, with 500 horse, SO
Krupp guns, and II mitrailleuses.
Alexandria, July 1.-THE night
passed quietly, yet there was a rumor
of lighting occurring at 3 O'Clock this
morning outside the gates Orders have
been given to send all marauders to
headquarters to be logged. I~ncendiaries
continue to be shot.
The khedive has dis missed Arab from
the ministry of war. The fire continues
and the aspect Of the town is indescrib-
able. Whole families of Europeans
have disappeared. and it is believed
that they were thrown into the flames.
Constantinople, July 1.-THE condi-
lions Of Turkish Intervention in Egypt
is understood TO be as follows: The
occupation to be limited to three
months, at the expiration of which the
knedive can demand a prolongation, the
cos to be betrayed by Egypt. No Euro
pean commissioners are to accompany
the Turkish troops. 1t is believed that
The Porte will refuse to dispatch the
expedition. The secretary OF the Brit
ish legation visited the porte Saturday
for the first time since the bombardment
and vas very cordially received.
New York, July III am able to
state from personal observation that
the first reports of the extent of the
devastation are greatly exaggerated.
Though the destructson is greatest in
the European quarter, it is by no means
confined there. Fires scattered
throughout the city were caused partly
by soldiers out of pure wantonness and
partly by natives, who took this means
of paying off old grudges.
During the day crowds Of Europeans
of all nations came ashore from the
ships. Many presented a pitiable spec
tacle as they sat down and gazed on the
ruins of their former homes.
The native population have been
streaming back into the city all day
through the yor4ous gates with loaded
donkeys and vehicles, well pleased that
the discord is ut an end and their
houses untouched.
One of the results of the shops being
broken into is the Generalization OF the
soldiers and sailors. One United States
sailor was cut down to day by his Off
Ger, Lieut.. Graham, for bad behavior.
Large numbers of the dead were buried
to day. Many houses were blown w
by the English and Americans in order
to stop the fire.
The English admiral, being charged
by permission of the khedive, with the
duty of maintaining order in Alexan,
dria, orders that all persons, European
or native, caught firing houses, shall be
shot, and all plunderers arrested in the
act shall be punished for the first
offense and shot IN repeating it.
The American sailors and marines
did excellent service in checking the
fire. They went aboard their vessel:
last night, but another party landed te
day.
London, July lin conversation
with John Bright about his resignation
he said the true cause of it was the
Egyptian policy of the government,
eliminating in what Mr.. Bright con
siders the uujustidable use of force in
Alexandria.
For forty years" said Bright, ~
had told my countrymen that morals
were the true basis of politics. | have
denounced war, and l should have been
false to my principles had | become a
party to a war which vas begun with
out necessity
The observer says: 1t is generally
believed That the retirement of Bright
will result in raising Sir Charles Dixie,
under foreign secretary, to a seat in the
cabinet.
Alexandria, July lin about ten
days the Nile will begin its annual rise,
and there is but too much reason to be
lieve that with the present chaos reign
ing in Egypt none OF the usual arrange
ments to control its volume have or
will be taken. With a great overflow,
such as would inevitably ensue under
such circumstances, the cotton and
grain country would be drowned out.
This practical warning has caused great
perturbation in ministerial circles. In

The corpses of the slain Europeans,
some of them women, are floating in
the harbor. The English are gradually
getting the place in order, and there
are many people in town, but the Arabs
are still setting fire to some parts of the
city. The foreign consuls general hay
ing requested permission to land men
to protect the property of their respec-
tive countrymen, Admiral Seymour re-
piled that they were most welcome to
do so, but if the men were intended to
patrol the streets they must be placed
under command of Lord Charles Beres-
ford.
New York, July 17.-Rev. DIR. T
Deiass, for two years United States
cInsul to Turkey, in a lecture Sunday
night, said: The present disturbance
in Egypt is nothing less than a civil
WAL of rebellion against the sultan and
khedive. Arab Bey is a restless, ambi-
tious Arab. He has formed a national
party, and IS irving to initiate Cromwell
