A SLIGHT CESSATION
OF HOstilitics in the Egyptian
Country.

Country.
LONDON, July 18.-The Times
Alexandria dispatch says there was
an attempt last evening to set fire to
the St Marks buildings, the head
quarters of the Americans in Alex
andria.
ALEXANDRIA, July 19.-Itis stat
ed that orders have been received
from home enjoining the British to
content themselves with maintain
ing order.
LONDON, July 18.-A dispatch
from Alexandria, in the second edi-
ton of the Daily Telegraph, says:
The night is quiet The lines are
now very strongly guarded, The
fires are neatly all eXtinguished.
The police rangemen S are now
thoroughly effective.
LONDON, July 18.-A correspond
ent of the Times at Paris says: The
idea of a renewal of close co-opera-
ton of France with England has
now forced itself upon the French
Government. The Cabinet Coun-
Gil has adopted a resolution to this
effect, the resolution conditional or
three things, namely: Turkey re-
ply to the identical note Of the Pow
ers inviting the Porte to send troops
to Egypt; the decision of the confer
ence and sanction of Parliament,
subject to these conditions. The
two governments are now entirely
agreed in regard to terms upon
which their forces will undertake to
restore order in Egypt.
LONDON, July 18.-A dispatch
from Dublin to the Times says: 'It
is rumored that another crisis is ap-
preaching The weather threatens
utter destruction to what promised
to be one of the finest harvests ever
reaped in Ireland. Heavy and al
most incessant rain has laid low
many fiourishing fields, and potatoes
have also suffered severely. If the
weather improves there would still
be some hope of recovery"
The Daily Neacs says at is pro-
bable that the appointment of sue
cessor to John Bright will be made
the occasion for considerable recon
struction of the ministry If Earl
Spencer is likely to remain long in
Ireland, as Lord Lieutenant, it will
not be convenient that he should
hold the presidency of the council
The Chancellorship of the Exche-
quer may also pass into others hands
at no distant date.
The Standard understands that
the opposition leaders have decided
to introduce a motion condemning
certain points in the government s
Egyptian policy. The motion will
probably be made by Robert
Bourke.
An Alexandria correspondent of
the Times telegraphs that he has
opened communication with the
camp of Arab Pasha, which his
informant says consists of over 5000
who are intensely discontented and
are surrounded by starving women
and children. Recruits of the low
est class are still being enticed by
Arab, with promises of unlimited
plumber, and the force is held to-
gether by the assertion that the
English will kill all those returning
to the city. Arab and Terulba
Pasha have utterly lost prestige by
their gross cowardice During the
bombardment the artillerymen were
kept at their guns on the 11th inst,
by infantF.y, who were protected
under cover.
L1MAsoL, CYPRUS, July IS
Eighteen British men-of-war, Incon-
stant, Kourmaline, and Carysfalt,
have arrived here. After coaling
they will proceed to Egypt.
LONDON, July 18.-An Alexandra
dispatch to the Daily Neacs, says:
The Khedive states that 205 Euro
peans have arrived at Kafrel De
war.
The numerous executions at Alex
andria excite some comment among
the liberal party in their press and
in Parliament.
The Daily Telegraph has the fol-
lowing dispatch - =
ALEXANDRIA, July 1850, p. m.
This morning the sailors drew up
to their Gatling guns and the ma
rines were ordered to get ready for
an attack, as some scouts had sent
word that Arab Pasha was coming.
The English sailors communicated
with the Americans and asked them
to be prepared. On hearing the
'alert'' sounded the seamen the
Palace of Justice and at the
American Consulate were prepared,
and having got their ammunition
ready awaited the signal. They
waited until o'clock when they
heard that the alarm was false.
LONDON, July 18.-The leading
| editorial article in the Morning
Post, says: The behavior of the
American Admiral and his men at
Alexandria is beyond all praise.
Amid diplomatic protest European
concerts and conferences and naval
demonstrations of imbecility, it is
refreshing to find a commander who
is able and willing on his account to
say what he thinks and do what he
says. Sixty marines, physically
speaking, could not do much, but
