NEW YoRK, October 9.-The Worlds corre-
spondent at Cairo, under date OF September
20, gives an interview with Arab, in which
Arab says: When Admiral Seymour in
formed the Khedive that he would open
fire the following morning, the latter ask
ed the Sultan by telegraph what he was to
do, to which he answered, that in case the
British bombarded, the fire was to be re-
turned and he has in his possession the
Khedive's orders to do so. He was led TO
believe the Sultan would prevent the Eng
lish from landing, and when the did land
he wrs instructed to hold out until the ar
rival of the Turkish troops"
De Lesseps swore by all that was holy and
sacred, even by the light OF his eyes and
the lives. of his children, that 'if England
touched the canal, France, Russia and
Italy would prevent her by force OF arms
He says he expects he shall be betrayed by
the Sultan and the Khedive and shot by
the English, and he is ready to die like a
man who has done his duty, and il he es-
capes execution he will emigrate to Amer

LONDON, septempter 9.-The Egyptian
mystery remains impenetrable. The min
isterial silence is unbroken, and the jour-
nails do not pretend TO know the probable
policy of reconstruction. Gladstone's few
words on Egypt, spoken on Tuesday, were
generalities. The friendly messages from
Bismarck last week have still further stim-
ulated French jealousy. An exchange OF
Earl Granville and NJ. Tissot. 1t is con-
jectured that the French Ministry is seek
ing to extract some sort of a compensation
for the inevitable surrender Of the joint
control. The protes against executing Arabi
as a rebels. multiply. They come from hu-
manitaIian writers, mostly. II is probable
that the military authorities will arrange
a review at Windsor or Aldershot on the
return of the main body. Meantime pub
lie interest in the army is kept up by the
arrival OF wounded soldiers, and is en-
HANGED by complaints OF bad treatment on
the troop ship. General Wolseley's report
of the victory at Tel-el Kebir is published
to-day. 1t is a good military narrative,
disfigured by swagger and by interjected
eulogy on the results of WOlseleys own
shOrt-service system. A much graver mat
ter is the charges made by a correspondent
Of the Cologne Gazette that the English
soldiers murdered the Egyptian wounded.
He alleges that the crime was with essed by
an Austrian Colonel, and it is admitted by
Col. Ne thuen. The latter adds an accusa-
ton of stealing.

finds that he made mistake in his calcu-
lations and so has Withdrawn his state
ment More cautious astronomers than he
have no doubt OF the identity of the comet,

made no secret OF his belief.
