GRASvILLE's INSTRUCTIONS TO DuFFERIN.
LONDON, July 2lst.-A long dispatch from
the Earl of Granville to Lord Dutferln, Eng
fish Embassador at Constantnople, dated
July 18th, ia now published. After indoors
ing the bombardment of Alexandra, the dis
patch states that d" Her Maiesty's Govern
ment now sees no alternative put recourse to
force to put an end to the intolerable state OF
aft ,irs in Egypt 1t would be most in accord
ance with the principles OF international law
that such force should be that of the sovereign
power over Egypt. Ii this is impracticable
On account of the uuwillingness of the Sultan
to act, it will become necessary to devise
other means. Her Msjesty's Government
continue TO hold the view that any interven.
ton should represent the united action and
authority of Europe" They have in fact no
interests or objects in regard to E2ypt incon-
sistent with those of the rest of the European
or the Egyptian people. Their desire is that
the navigation of the canal shall be unre-
stricted, and that Egypt shall be well and
quietly governed, free from the predominating
il fuence of any single power; that inter.
national engagements shall be observed, and
that those British commercial and industrial
interests which have been SO largely developed
in Egypt shall derive due protection from
outrsge. This is principle which is essen
tial for our interests in all parts Of the world.
Their policy has been consistent; they have
legally kept their engagements with France
and have been anxious that the other powers
should be informed and consulted on sll mat
tiers materially affecting their position in that
country. The action which their Admiral
has been compelled to resort to has not
altered their views.
HALF-HEARTED SUPPORT FROM THE KHEDIvE.
IL. -.
of the Kheoive's Egyptians have been or
dered to defend Damietta and Rosetta. The
Egyptian authorities join in very half
hearted way in the efforts to restore order
and to punish criminals They seem anxious
that the English should bear all the odium
of such measures. Among the officers, the
men composing the encourage of the khedive
are regarded with great suspicion, and it
may eventually be necessary to arrest several
of them for reasonable communication with
Arab. The Khedive's position is very
difficult one, but it would be far better than
it is were he to adopt more decided and
straightforward course. 1t is feared that the
news of the coming of the Commission from
Cairo will open the door to fresh talk of
diplomacy, intrigue and procrastination.
MAssACBEs NEAR CAIRO.
ALEXANDRIA, July 21st.-A refugee from
Cairo reports that numerous massacres OF
Europeans took place last Monday in the
outskirts of that city.
Major General Allison will leave here to-
dav. with detachment of troops, to blow
up the obstruction in Mahmoodeeyeh Canal
The markets and the Bourse are reopening
for business.
It will not be surprising if Arab Pssha's
measures in regard to the water supply of
Alexandria lead to an immediate advance of
the British troops.
An Arab spy states that the damming of
the Mahmoodeeyeh Canal has flooded the
country. The water in places is knee deep,
making the ground too soft for the movement
Of guns.
A pative has Just been shot while attempt
ing to set fire to house in the center of the
city.
DANGER AT PORT SAID.

critical.
TRXT OF ARAB PAsHAs PBoNUNCIAMENTo.
ALEXANDRIA, July 21st-4 P. Non the

Mudirs At the Khedive's instigation the English

Egyptians who were left to guard the city The

among the English, and returns to shore in the
daytime to or Ter continuance Of the slaughter.
Therefore | issue my order to continue raising
soldiers.

Alexandria in order that they may be instIu
ments 10 English hands. The kilograms dis
patched by Raghsb Pasha, authorizing the
cessation of military preparations. were forci'
bly, extorted from him, and are, therefore,
invalid An irreconcilabls war exists be-
tween US and the English.

ports of the massacres at Cairo and Damietta.

regard to the water supply is becoming alarm
ing. There has been a fall of the Mohmoldit
