really surrendered his power to the army, and
it has remained with 1t ever since. Last Sep
TENDER Arab Bey, who was Colonel and the
leader of the outbreak in February, seized the.
command of the army and demanded of the
Khedive that he SHOULD dismiss the Ministry,
increase the pay Of the army, and grant a con-
stitution. The Khedive conceded all that was
asked, except the constitution, and for this
he substituted a Chamber of Noiables. This
Chamber met and prepared an organic law by
which the control of the budget was placed I'M
the hands Of certain members of the Notables.
and of the Ministry. but excluded entirely
the English and French Control, which means
the representatives of England and France,
who had control of the finances and the man
agement of the debt owed by Egypt to the
English and French bondholders. The Con-
troll protested, and England and France Joined
in note of warning to the revolut;onists. The
army protested against the note, and Arab Bey
explained that they did not intend to disturb
the financial arrangements. The Control was
instructed not to countenance any concession
by the Egyptian Government to the claim of
the Chamber of Notables, to vote the budget.
The latter waited upon the Khedive and re-
quested him to sign the organic law, but he de-
clined, taking shelter behind the English and
French Consuls. Thererpon Cherif Pasha, the
President of the Council, resigned, and Arab
Bey formed a new Cabinet, with himself in it
as Minister of War, and forced the Khedive
to recognize il. He also forced him to recog-
nize the Cabinet and to approve the organic
law, which conferred the right of voting the
budget upon the Notables. Thereupon the
Control declared that its power was nuilified.
Meanwhile the Ministry repudiated the an.
thority of the Khedive altogether, and also
severed their relations with the French and
English Control, whereupon the iron-clads
were sent to Egypt, and the Ministry was no.
titled that Arab Bey must be removed. He
refused to submit, the Ministry resigned, and
the Khedive removed Arab Bey from the
head of the army, but. under compulsion, re-.
instated him. Meanwhile, under advice of
the European Powers, Turkey sent Dervisch
Pasha as its representative to Egypt to settle
the complication, and England and France
asked for q conference of the Powers at Con-
stantinople, which is still sitting, though Tur-
key refused to participate. Dervisch Pasha's
mission appears to be afailure, as the Khediye
is still without authority, and Arab Bey, hav-
ing formed another Cabinet with himself as.
Minister of War again, Is really the ruler of
Egypt, and has gone on fortifying Alexandria
and declaring hts intention Of forcibly resist
ing English Intervention. The long waiting
of the various parties, the feet the Egypt1ansj
Arab Bey, the Khedive, the Sultan, % SEQ
what step the other would take, now appears
to have been broken, and q very short time
must now determine where each stands, for
the official order has been issued by the En-
glish Admiral that the bombardment win be-
gin at nine O'Clock this morning. England
