LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Ne,cs has re-
ceived the following account of to-day's
fight at Kassasin:
KAssAsIN, 500 a. m.-After o'clock this
morning the Bengal Lancers and scouts
came in with news that the enemy were
approaching i'll great force on the north
side of the railway. Our army was at
once put in motion, and by z o'clock an
artillery duel began. Arabs troops of all
arms are spread over the entire ridge, and
a mile and a half up the line train,
heavily armed. has appeared close to the
island where our forty FOUNDER and Krupp
guns are placed Smelling the enemy's right
There is also twenty -four FOUNDER few
hundred yards off playing on the same po-
sition. We have the enemy's range ex-
actly. One of our shells burst right over
the enemy's ranks. The Egyptian artil-
lery have got our distance very well, and
their shells are dropping steadily into our
camp. We have horse artillery extended
along line half mile in length on the
north side of the railway. They are firing
rapidly, and at present the Egyptians are
slowly retiring. Up to this moment no
casualties have occurred. Reinforcements
are just coming up from Mashameh. A
Krupp gun recently captured from Arab
sent a shell nearly in front of his train.
Our infantry is advancing and the enemy
is still slowly retiring.
Gen. Wolseley reports that very effec-
tive reconnaissance of the enemy's posi-
ton was made during the engagement to-
day.
Twenty of the enemy's dead were
counted near one spot. Numbers of Egyp-
tians were lying about fearfully wounded.
Our wounded include ten marines, whose
wounds are serious. The Thirteenth Ben
gal lancers commenced the engagement
and killed ten of the enemy. The lancers
held their ground gallantly until a force
arrived. Had the Highland brigade come
up and supported them, they could ere
now have captured Tel-El-Kebir.

falling.
