END or TIE War m EGYPT.

The rebellion u Egypt beaded by the
obstreperons and Dbstfnats Arab Pasl,a
was brought to a sudden termination on
the 18th by q brilliant and decisive vic
tory Of the English forces over the army
Of Arab at rel-el- Kebir.
Gen. Wolssley planned his campaign
admirably and carried out his scheme to
the letter. His troops were stationed ut
Kassassin, six miles from the fortified
camp Of the enemy at Tel-el- Kebir, and
it was decided to cover the intervening
distance by night march and attack
the Egyptians ct daybreak. The APP
proach of the English was not discov-
cred until they were within mile Of the
enemy's intrenchmeuts. Fire was opened
on them, but they advanced steadily nm
til point only 200 yards from the earth
works had been reached, when the whole
line rushed forward impetuously and
carried the Egyptian position at the
point of the bayonet. The English re-
served their fire until they were within
point blank range and it was thus rem
dered CALLING and effective. Their cav
airy had deployea around the right flank
of the enemy aud was not discovered nn-
til the moment Of the charge by the in
fantry and artillery on the front. After
a brief and futile resistance, Arabs fol-
lowers stampeded, throwing down their
ar,ss and seeking safety in fight. FL less
than thirty minutes from the moment
the charge was ordered, the Egyptian
Notifications were in the hands Of the
English and Arabi's army dispersed.
The British loss was 81 killed and 352
wounded, while that Of the Egyptians is
estimated 1T 1900 killed and wounded.
Several Thousand prisoners and large
quantities OF supplies, arms and NUM-
tons of war were captured, including all
the euemy's artillery.
Arab fled to Cairo, where he he was
stoned by the indignant popnlace when
they learned Of his defeat. Cairo was oc-
cupied by British troops and all the other
places held by the rebels have capitula-
ted and declared their submission to the
Khedive's government. Arab and all
his leading officers are prisoners.
The war is pver aud the victorious
British troops are embarking for home.
Gen. Wolseley's rilliant achievement will
doubtless secure his elevation to the
peerase. France has congratulated Eng
land OH the result of the struggle.

We erred in reporting last week that
the jury in the star route cases had dis
agreed rs to all the defendants. Two of
the accused, Turner and Peck, were ac-
quilted; two others, Miner and Rer-
dell, were convicted, and there was
disagreement rs to Brady, Vale and the
two Dorseys. AS Peck is dead, all NEIL
ton ut his maine was expunged from the
record. Motions i'll arrest Of Judgment,
for new trial and for bail were made

implicated two special agents Of the
