Send Troops to Egypt.


RoME, June 1.-THE Government

Colona and Rapid to hold themselves
in readiness to escort the Italian
merchant vessels through the Suez
Canal.
ALEXANDRIA, July 1.-THE iron
clads Minotaur, Sultan and Teme-
raire arrived off Aboukir. TO pre-
vent Arab Pasha from cutting
the dykes a white flag was hoisted
directly the ships appeared.
One Of the two body guards of the
Khedive who rode out to Katir Ed
war yesterday evening, on a recon
noissance, galloped off and joined Ar
abb Pasha.
Several Arabs were killed last night
for incendiaris1p, Three of the Khe-
dives grooms were killed by English
guards at Rah Ell Tin palace, by mis-
take. An Arab soldier was tied to
tree in the square of Mehemet Ali,
and shot in the presence of the Arabs
and Europeans. Despite these severe
examples pillaging continues.
Fears of an outbreak of the natives
in Cairo are increasing. Arab Pasha's
army is strongly posted. All Bedouins
lately lowering around the city have
disappeared.
Arab Pasha has written, in reply
to the khedive's demand, long let
ter which the Khedive declares un.
satisfactory. Arab says that he did
not intend to make war, but as the
Powers are determined to force an
attack he considers it better to fight
at once. He expresses his willingness
to come to Alexandria if the khedive
will induce the English feet and
troops to withdraw. If the khedive
cannot do this, Arab recommends
him to send minister to his camp, to
discuss the situation.
ALEXANDRIA, July l7.-Ragheb
Pasha, present Minister to Turkey,
wrote a letter to Admiral Seymour,
stating that the preparations which
Arab is making are against the will
of the Khedive and the Government; /;
that Arab Pasha has been ordered
to suspend them; that the Khedive
has decided to dismiss him, but that
the danger Of repetition at Cairo
and elsewhere of the fatal disorders
in Alexandria has induced the kh.-
dive temporarily to defer the publi-
cation Of his decision.
The International tribunal and
postoffice have been reinstated. One
hotel is opened. Victuals are ar
riving from the country. The streets
from the custom house to the grand
square are cleared of ruins and made
passable for carriages. Dangerous
houses are being demolished with
dynamite.
