ships have left here, and the United States
flagship has gone to Br.ndisi. The markets

On the evacuation OF Alex andria Arab
Pasha issued the following procl am alton {:
Murders at the khedive's instigation. The
English killed, with sword and shot, in re-
venge, the Egyptians who were left TO guard
the city; the khedive remains at night with
his women afoat among the English, and
returns to the shore in the daytime TO order
continuance OF the slaughter; therefore, /
| Issue my order 10 continue raising soldiers"
A second proclamation OF Arab Pasha's
| says: "The khedive has imprisoned his
ministers in Alexandria, in order that they
may be Instruments in English hands. The
| telegram dispatched BY Rsgheb Pasha au-
thorizing the cessation of military prepare
lions were forcibly extorted from him, and
are therefore invalid. An irreconciliable
war exists between us and the English"
| A letter from the interior confirms the
| reports of msssacres at Cairo and Damietta.

way train and put under the wheels. All the
employees of the iCadsstral survey at Tintah
have been killed, including two English en-
| glneers named Crowther and Macalan. A
sheik and governor tried 10 save them,
| but were unable.
The situation in regard TO the water-sup-
| ply is becoming alarming. There has been
| fall of the Mahmoudich canal of two
inches. Unless more troops arrive soon TO
enable General Alison to drive Arab Pasha
from the pumping stations, the consequences
will be terrible.
Lieutenant Piggot, of the Monarch, aud
two sailors, by dint of climbing, have
reached the lantern of the lighthouse and
relit the lamps. They found the staircase
leading 10 the top cut away by shell.
The European cotton factories al Damen-
haur were burned.

England, and calling on all good Moslems to
fight against her.

There Is with Arab Pasha notorious Swiss |
adventurer named Ninet. He has done more
than anybody 10 bring about the recent dis
asters. When caught he will be dealt with
summarily. A few days before the lombard
ment he was elected from the French con-
sulate as spy.
Egyptian officers of high rank are here |
who all took part in the affair. A person |
who has had twenty years experience in |
Egypt says that in the same train in which |
he came from Cairo were two German artil- |
lery officers who assisted in the defense. |
They are now here.
Reports state that all the European officers |
who have been serving with Arab Pasha |
have deserted TO the khedive.
There are 500 soldiers and many Bedouips |
in ZagazIg. These have been Joined by SOL |
diers and Bedouins from Cairo, and no doubt |
a general massacre has begun.
The news ofthe mass acre of Europeans in |
various parts of Egypt excited great indig- |
nation here and the delay IN taking action |
is bitterly com mented apon.
Arab Pasha's pr5cia al alton has already !
effected a marked change in the attitude of |
the populace. Servile civiiity is exchanged |
for su!len and insolent attitude.

are fairly full of English, French, Germans, |
Italians and Greeks.

house at Ramleh. His position is on a mar !

ENeLANp's POSITION.
LONDON, July 21.-A long dispatch from !
Granville to Dufferin, English ambassador |
at Constantinople, dated July 11th, is pub
lished. Alter justifyipg the bombardment of |
Alexandria, the dispatch states that her |
msiesty's government now see no alternative |
but recourse TO force to put an end to the in
tolerable state of affairs in Egypt. 1t would |
be most in accordance with the principles of |
international law that this force should be
that of the sovereign power. If this ia i'm
practicable on account of the unwilliBguess
of the sultan TO assert it, it may become nee
essary 10 devise other means. Her msjesty's
government continue 10 hold the view that
any intervention should represent the united
action and authority OF Europe. They have,
in fact, no interests or objects in regard to
Egypt inconsistent with those of the rest
of Europe or of the Egyptian people.
Their desire is that the navigation of the
canal shall be unrestricted; that Egypt shall
be we'll and quietly governed, free from the
predomipating influence Of any single power;
that international engagements shall be OBJ
served, and those of the British commercial
and industrial interests which have been SO
largely developed in Egypt shall receive due
protection from outrage a principle which
is essential for our interests in all parts OF the
world. Their policy has been consistent.
Thew have Loyalty kept their engagements
with France, .nd been anxious that the
powers be informed and consuite1 on al
matters affecting tie position OF the country.
The action which their admiral has been
compelled to resort to has not altered their
views.
HAVE THOUGHT BETTER OF IT.
The Standard announces that in view of
the impending vote OF credit, the opposition in
Parliament will reconsider the policy OF in
resolutions of censure for the dila-
tory action of the government after the mas
.acre at Alexandra in June, and for want Of ,
foresight and preparation when the lombard
ment OF that city had been decided upon.
srR GARNET woIsELEY TO COMMAND THE
EGYPTIAN EXPEDITION.
The Times save: "We have reason 10 be-
ieve the queen has approved the appoint
ment of General Sir Garnet Wolseley TO
command the expedition about to be dis :
patched TO Egypt, and OF General Sir John ]
Madgeas as chief-of-staf.
ADDITIONAL TROOPS TO BE DISPATCHED.

roops to Egypt at once. 1t is believed that
