Alexandra, 21.-The rifle regi-
ment occupies a fort four hundred
yards outside the ROsette gate.
These are the only British troops
outside the walls. The situation In
regard to the water supply is be-
coming alarming. There has been a
fall Of the Mahmeudich of two
Inches, and unless more troops az
rive soon to enable Gen. Allison to
drive Arab Pasha from the pump
ing stations the consequences viii
be terrible. Lieutenant Piggott, Of
the Monarch, and two sailors, by
dlnt OF climbing have reached the
lantern Of the light house and reIit
the lamp. They found the staircase
leading to the top cut away by
shell. The European cotton fac
tories at DamaThOur, are burned.
Troops last night slept outside the
walls.
Arabs camps visible from the
tower of the House Atramlet. His
position is on a narrow strip Of land,
fianked by two dikes, and is very
strong. Thirty-six Europeans were
massacred there by order Of Arab.
The notableS at the meeting In
Cairo adopted resolution declaring
the Khedive, having violated the
constitution, a traitor, and have
depOsed him. They have also issued
a PROCLAMATION declaring war against
England, and summOning all good
MOslems to fight against her. Press
ure is being put on the KhediVe to
proclaim Arab Pasha rebel. There
is with Arab Pasha q Swiss
adVenturer named Nenet, who has
made himself notorious. He has
done more than anybody to
bring about the recent disasters,
When caught he will be dealt with
summarily. A few days before the
bOmbardment he was elected from
the French consulate as a spy. -Four
Egyptian officers Of high rank are
here, who all took part in the de-
Tense. A person who has had twenty
years experience in Egypt says in
the same train in which he came
from Cairo were two German artil-
leFy officers who assisted in the de-
tense. They are now here.
Bombay, 21.-TW0 transports
sailed for Alden with a battalion of
foot, a company Of Madras sappers,
and 21s highlanders for Egypt. Is
will probably pick up battalion Of
Highlanders at Alden.
Europeans continue to land. The
streets are fairly full of Englishs
French, Germans, Italians and
Greeks. A battery Of artillery on
the way from Malta was shipped
without horses. No horses can be
obtained here and the artillery,
which is much wanted, will be use
less when it arrives.
London, 21.-Admiral Seymour,
in his dispatch to the admiralty
giving his account of the lombard
ment, says the Egyptians tonight
with determined bravery, firing I'M
til they must have been deeimated.
"A correspondent reports that
DeFreycinet has communicated
with the English government in
regard to Inviting Italy to cooperate
with England and France. It is
believed England will readily
acqUiesce.
COnstantinOple, 21.-Assym Pasha,
formerly minister of foreign affairs,
is appointed delegate to the CON
ference.
Reports are that all European
officers who have been serving with
Arab Pasha, have deserted to the
Khedive.
There are 500 soldiers and as
many bedOuins in Zagazig. These
have been joined by soldiers and
bedouins fir ON Cairo, and no doubt
a general massacre has begun.
News Of the massacre Of Europeans
in various parts of Egypt has ex-
cited great Indignation here, and
the delay in taking action is Bit
terly commented upon. Arab
Pasha's proclamation has already
effected a marked change in the
attitude Of the pOpulace. The
serYile civility is exchanged
for sUllen and insolent
attitude. Our videttes now extend
seven miles beyond the walls. The
Xhedive reports he has learned
Arab Pasha's troops are still fur
Their damaging the canal at Baradeh
