LOtKs WARLIXE.
An Outbreak Between England
ana EygpI Deemed Inevitable.

LONDON, July 9th, 1882 Public feel
ing here Is in n state of intense excite.
ment over the Egyptian difficulty. The
feeling is that any minute may bring
news of the outbreak Of hostilities.
During the afternoon there was ru.
NOR in the House of Commons that the
first shot had been fred by the feet,
but when the question was put by Sir
Stafford Eorthcote Mr.. Gladstone SAID
that Admiral Seymour had full instruc.
tions to act The rumor seems to have
arisen from Sir Charles Dixie coming
into the House with an important dis
patch from Mr. Gladstone looking pale
and anxious.
1t is evident that the firmness and
determination displayed by England
during the last few days is bringing
matters to an issue and that things
mustbe brought to crisis very shortly,
possibly within few hours The in
telligence of hostilities being begun
would probably be received with salts
faction in England, so dissatisfied is the
public as to the way matters have been
going. There is great I'll a. the gov
eminent doCkyar"s An Ii the depOts
for the reserves whlth + arms are being
sent preparatory 70 the ie1tIves Ne'ng
called out. There is great activity at
the War Office, where everything IS in
readiness to despatch 10000 meo TO
Egypt. All the eff iers have beet ap-
pointed and The mobili2 alton is com

Private kilograms from Egypt state
that the situation is so strained THAI a
collision il unavoidable A cores
pondent at Alexandria says that Adj.
miral Seymour's caution TO the Gov
ernor was relative to a rdmoGed inten-
ton to block the entrance to the harbor
by sinking ships laden with stone. AID.
miral Seymour notified the Governor
that he would regard any such attempt
as All act of open hostility. Meanwhile
the Egyptians are despatchinE large
stores of ammunition to the ports on the
coast. In the House of Commons this
afternoon Sir Charles Dixie, under For
eign Secretary, stated that further in.
structions had been sent to Admiral
Seymour in regard to the armament of
the forts at Alexandria, which would
meet any contingency. Mr. Gladstone,
replying to Sir Stafford Northcote in
the Commons, said that since the House
met today the government had re-
ceived no disquieting rumors from
Egypt
The Daily News, in leading article,
foreshadows English armed interven.
tlon in Egypt, and says that if such &C.
ton is necessary it would be penny wise
to count the cost, which the News es

A despatch dated Bombay, Thurs
day, July 6, says 1.-THE papers this
morning announce that orders have
been given to prepare force of 1900
English and 5000 native troops, includ-
ing three batteries of artillery, for
Egypt.
Large siege trains are being organized
at Agra and Bombay. Tenders for ton
mage have not been issued yet, pending
the receipt Of final been issued yet,
pending the receipt of final orders" A
despatch to the Standard from Bombay
confirms the statement that Indian
troops are about to leave for Suez and
says the troops will hold the line of the
canal between Suez and Ismailia. A
separate line of railway will probably
be constructed along the course of the
canal.
