! LONDON July 1sth.-Tho leading editorial art-
Gle in the Morning Post says: The behavior of the
| American Admiral and his men at Alexandria IL
| beyond all praise. Amid diplomatic protests,
! European concerts and conferences, and naval
demonstrations of imbecility, it is refreshing TO
! find Commander who is able and willing on his
| own account, to say what he thinks and do what
| he says. Sixty Marines physically speaking, could
not do much, but there is a way of giving support
which quadraples its value. The conduct of the
Americans during the night of alarm, when it WIS
! thought that arabi Pasha was coming, contrasts
| remarkably with that of the French and Italians

awaiting the issue of events. Arab Pasha first
declared that the soldiers only meant for the
protection of the khedive, but at the last moment
he actually told the men to kill the Khedise. The
soldiers, however hearing the English approach
ing. deserted their posts.
