EGYPT.

OOACA gains ground LnaC England, |
all along, had a secret treaty with |
Turkey. 1t is even said De Frey
clnct Knows Of a secret treaty be-
tween the two powers. If the ques-
ton comes up in the Chamber this
afternoon, an exciting scene may be
expected "a the committee on Egyp-
tlan credit will doubtless Law its re-
ports before the house. Gambetta
may also find moment favorable
for presenting his elaborate defense
OF his foreign policy, which he has
for some time been meditating.
A dispatch to the FiqdrO an
nOunces that Toulba Pasha
yesterday proceeded to the
Palace of Ras-El-Tin, and informed
the Khedive, he was to consider
himself prisoner. A Gordon of
Egyptian troops surrounded Der
wish Pasha's residence, IZeden max
ing efforts to approach to the shore
to carry Dervish Pasha, but with
out success. Popular feeling in
Alexandria grows more and more
hostile to Arab.
COnstantinOple, 11.-General Wal
lace has had confidential audience
with the Sultan, which lasted four
hours. 1t is believed the subject of
the conversation was the Egyptian
crisis, and that the friendly inter
mediation Of the United States was
suggested. The European confer
ence is in complete discord.
ENGLAND RIGHT.
London, IL A dispatch from
Vienna SAYS: 1t is admitted, III
government circles, that England
is perfectly right in acting against
Arab Pasha's attitude of prOvoca-
ton, and so long as England carrys
on this line of conduct she Will
meet with no opposition from the
powers.
A dispatch from Alexandria says
the Egyptian ministers were not
aware, yesterday, of Admiral Sey-
mOur's ultimatum, because it was
intercepted by Arab Pasha.
THE PORTE SPEAKS.
Constantinople, evening = The
Porte has telegraphed Musurus
P2sha, Turkish ambassador at Lon
don, the following: "Tne Porte has
learned that Admiral Seymour has
opened fire. 1t is superfiuous to
dilate upon the extreme gravity
OF this fact. In view Of the urging
Of this matter, the Porte has con-
fined itself to requesting you, with
out a moments loss of time, to
make pressing representations to
Lord Granville 10 issue orders to
cease firing Immediately, in order
to avert still greater misfortune.
KILLED AND WOUNDED.
In the Commons this evening,
Campbell Bannerman, financial
secretary Of the war Office, read the
following:
Alexandria, II, $50 p.m.-The

fble 8, Penelope 8.

FEELING AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, 1.-THE situation in
Egypt has ATTRACTED much attention
at the capital to-day, especially at
the war and navy departments
army and navy officers are awaiting
the interesting result of the bonn
bardment. A scientific ana aquatleal
interest is felt in the contest as it is
believed that it will be very in
structing in determining the tight
ing value Of the latest pattern of
irOnclads, built with the heaviest
ordnance. The British ship InCinc-
| ible, is supplied with new eighty
ton rifled guns. The representative
here Of the largest ordnance
mandatory in the country,
as he read the announcement
that four forts had fallen, said no
more convincing proof is neceS-
saIy Of the great value Of heavy
ordnance. Notifications cannot
stand against them, and he claims
that the same British fleet off Alex
2ldria Bay, today, could batter
down every fort that we have from
Maine to Rio Grande, and could sail
directly under our guns and fire with
impunity. The lesson or Alexan-
dria's bombardmentis for this cOun-
try; and government had better be
doing something about it, for Abe
Hewitt said, very truthfully, in the
House the other day, it would take
three years to build a single one OF
these eighty ton guns. This is a
statement from one of the legisla-
tors, but it is in this spirit that the
officers of the ordnance corps and
of the naval officers generally are
watching the contest in Egypt.
: At the navy department it was
stated that the remark attributed to
Admiral Nicholson, that if the
forts should ire on him he should
return the fire, was a cablegram
from him has turned out to be en-
: tirely false. The admiral was moi
authorized to open fire under any
circumstances whatever, and should
he allow his vessels within range, OF
attempt to open FIRE, he would ct
once be c0urt-martialed.
