CoSsrASTfNoPLk, July 20.-Tne tsxt Of
the Porte's reply to the idsns;cil note Of
the Powers j. IS follows: II the Porte
has not hitherto decided on its own in;-
tiativs to send troops to Egypt, it is be-
cause 1t was convinced vigorous meas
ures were unavoidable. Observing with
satisfaction that the Powers have for
maliy and repeatedly recorded their de-
fsrenoe to the incontestable and uuques-
tionabis rights and sovereignty Of the
Sultan. the undersigned, by tia Sultan's
order, informs the smb sssadors that tho
Porte consents 70 participate in the Con-
ference. 1t is said tho Conference
meets tod W to discuss thu reply to this
communication. 1t is thought probable
= fresh invitation to tho Conference will
now be addressed to the Porie.
The Porte has sent an emperial order
20 Arab Pashs t. make movement.
Doiaxs in Egypt.
ALEXANDRIA, July 20.-That Arab
Pasha has besn greatly encouraged by
iuaosion il made NANTES. by his activi-
~. His patrols have penetrated within
i've miles Of the city walls. Palace Off
oials are continually asking when ws are
going IT, ;,ot against hun. There is great
satisfaction at the palace at the depart
ure of Dervish Pasha. Officials ascribe
;iuoh of the present evil to his intrigues.
He IL suspected of communicating with
the rebels the last few days.
DelIesseps has arrived here. He had
an interview with tho khedivo today.
The chief difficulty is in restoring order.
As trouble continues to arise through
quarrels and tho conduct of the Greeks.
The hatred of them by the Arabs is in
tense. Lord Charles BeresfOrd is taking
every precaution against an outbreak.
He has issued q notice that he will make
no odistine;ion between Europeans and
natives. The Custom House has baen
reopened.
Tho Eastern Telegraph Company's
land line between Suez aud Alexandria
is intact t. within sixteen miles Of Alex
anjria. Suez is quis: and the town de-
serted. Efforts IL stop the yacht con-
vcyiag Dsrvish Pasha to Constantine
pie we're unsuccessful. Arabi Pasha has
ordered the natives to pay taxes to him
for war purposes. Two large fires broke
out today in opposite quarters of tho
town, evidently the work of in.endiaries.
The manager Of water works has order
ed all old Roman wells throughout the
town to be emptied. cleaned and retilied.
the water supply being entirely at Arabi's
msrcy. Lahorers ara scarce, and the
work will probably take three weeks.
Considerable progress having been made
in clearing tae ruins from 70 always, the
khedivs was enabled To drive through
town today.
Arabi Pasha proposes to kill all the
Turks in Egypt. He says there are not
many throats to cut and he had better
Gu: them now.
There are few American and Ger
man sailors still at their respective con-
sulates, bnt with this exception the city
is held by the English.
Gen. Allison made a reconnaissance in
the direction of Arabi's camp in order TO
see what better ground might be oho-
son for our front, az We are unable to
SEQ more than 200 yards from our pres
ent lines. Arabi has steam launch on
Mahmoudeysh canal, bringing him pro-
Visions, aud this probably explains Why
he has not cut the canal. Arab shot
the Egyptians sent ont By the English
to get horses.
1t is stated that the foreign consuls
intend to dem snd compensation foe in
jury done to their property by Arabs fir
ing houses alleging that had troops been
landed soon after the bombardment no
houses would have been burned.
Reports come from Cairo that Arabi
has sent p,r:y Of soldiers to pillage
tho capitol, but the commander execu-
ted them. Although severity ia neces-
sary for the purpose Of re.establishing
order, tho actual executions do not cz-
ceed eight, and the total number killed
twenty.
An American artillery offiser has ex-
pressed the opinion that the immenss
superiority Of the marine artillery en-
p,oyed in the bombardinsnt practically
leaves tho question relative to the pow
