lowed by a battery of Gatlings which
engaged the rear guard of the army
of Arabi who had fed to Kafre-ei-
Dowar, on the line of railway to Cairo.
The massacre of the 11th of June was
teries by the Infexible's eighty-ton
guns. Fifteen hundred Arabs are dead
and two thousand wounded. Stone
Pasha casts his fortunes with the Khe-
dive. The soldiery attempted to kill Tew-
fix, who, surrounded by some faithful
friends, fled to Ramlen. At this hour he
and Dervisch are being taken on board
an abandoned Egyptian man-of-war,
escorted by English officers and
Egyptian faithful. When Colonel Long
entered, the Prefect of Police was very
much frightened and sought his protec-
ton. Long saved him from the fury of
the English soldiers, who were maddened
at the recollection of the massacre Of the
11th of June. There has been great loss :.
of PROPERTY, the English, American,
French, italian and Austrian consulates
being burned. Arab will probably fly to
Upper Egypt.
ALEXANDRIA, July 1.-THE fire in Alex
andria is still raging. There are at least
two miles of houses burning More than
third of the city appears to be on fire.
The town is totally ruined. The houses
from the great square to the Custom-House
have been plundered. In the Square it
self and other wealthy European
quarters, there is hardly build
ing not ruined or still burning
The streets are strewn with empty clock
and jewel cases, and similar debris, but
very few dead bodies have been found.
Two-thirds of the troops deserted during
the bombardment. After the Khedive's
palace had been surrounded, party of SOL
diers entered his apartment and declared
they had orders to kill him and
burn the palace. After long par
rleying their loyalty was bought
by promise of money. They then escorted
the Khedive to the British at Ras-el-Tin.
At five o'clock this morning detachment
of marines marched through the town.
Some plunderers, caught in fagrante delic-
to, were summarily shot. The marine ar
tillery has occupied Fort Napoleon,
commanding the town. The Arabs
are still looting the town. Admiral
Seymour had determined to land a
that 1900 Egyptians occupied a posi-
ton outside the city, ready for attack,
while Admiral Seymour could only
| land 300 men. He therefore, instead
| of landing men ordered shots fired
over the city, in order to frighten the
rioters. Twenty armed Europeans who
escaped the general massacre were told by
Pasha whom they met on their way
through the town, that the Egyptians kill
ed numbered over 600. The number of
| persons massacred by the mob is estimated
at 1000.
ALEXANDRIA, July IA, Z p. m.-All the
Arabs are carrying white handkerchiefs
on sticks and showing great anxiety to be
thought friendly General Stone was
| found with the Khedive. The General
confirmed that Arab Pasha had ordered
the murder of the Khedive, and added,
"Arabi had ordered the sacking of the
town before quitting it."
A correspondent on the Invincible sends
the following: All the ships have sent
ashore every man that can be spared. The
marines were landed at the request of the
Khedive. Arab Pasha sent away, by the
railway, women and children in thousands.
All able bodied males were ordered to Join

ues, and the aspect of the town is indie
scribable. 1t reminds a spectator of
Pompeii. Whole families of Euro
peans have disappeared, and it is
believed they were thrown into the flames

force of four regiments, 1,500 irregular
troops, and one regiment of cavalry. He
is expecting reinforcements from Cairo.
