ALEXANDRIA, July 31.-Midshipman Deck
ar, of Admiral Seymour's selected corps of
specials, was arrested by Arab as prisoner
of war. Deckar was employed to carry mes
sages of especial Importance where the jour
ney was hazardous. At break of twilight he
was sent with important dispatches, contain
ing Admiral Seymour's directions regarding
proposed reduction of Fort Aboukir, from
Ras Ell Tin to Ramleh. He was provided by
the Khedive with body of natives, whom
the Khedive had especial confidence in, as an
escort. The natives were secretly loyal to
Arab. When they got beyond the British
outposts they overpowered him and con-
Quoted him into Arabs camp at Kafr ell
Dowar. He was searched and the dispatches
seized. He was placed under guard as a
prisoner of war. The natives, whenever
they meet small bodies of English troops,
taunt them to fight.
An unconfrmed report prevails that the
British.
A traveller, who has just arrived here from
Stout, reports that Arab Pasha has issued a
manifesto declaring that the Khedive Tewfk
has sold Egypt to the British, and had retired
o England. Arab therefore ordered the
people to obey him until the Prophet has en-
lightened him to find worthier Khedive.

sist the attempt of Arab Pasha to interrupt

| Six Mudirs of Upper Egypt have been or
| dered to supply five hundred horses and six
hundred and fifty camels to the forces of

Fifty Europeans from towns in Upper

German consul general will depart on leave

| LONDON July 31.-The Times in leading
article says: apart altogether frona the
evidence of the dealing of the Porte, fur
nished by the narrative of events during the
last months, we have ample reason for be
lieving that the expedition it has now de-
termined to send to Egypt has no other OBJ
ject than to thwart and oppose the efforts we
are now making to restore order there Co
operation mi ght be accepted If the Turks
should send moderate contingent to act I'm
der the orders of the British commander. The
obvious design of Turkey is to exclude Eng
land altogether, and to maintain that we
have right in Egypt 1t is, therefore
mere trifling to continue negotiations for the
purpose of getting such worthless pledges Of
good faith as the proclamation against Arab
Pasha." The Times says it Is for the British
Cabinet to show that it appreciates thu
gravity of the situation, and to devise meas
ures for safe guarding the national Interests
and for the vindication of the natlona
honor, both of which are in serious jeopardy
Major General Sir Garnet Wolseley has re
covered from his attack of Cyprus fever, AM
has returned to his duties at the war Office.

ferin, the British Ambassador, on bein
