EGYPT.

SAAOS . VI SeCF6G Treaty. Uc-
tween the two powers. If the Ques-
tlon comes up In the Chamber this
afternoon, an exciting scene may be
expected,as the committee on Egyp-
tlan credit Will doubtless lay 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.
n dispatch to the FiqaTO an
nOunceS that TOulba Pasha
yesterday proceeded to the
Palace of Ras-El-Tin, and informed
the Khedive, he was to consider
himself a 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 a 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 III complete discord.
ENGLAND RIGHT.
London, II. - A dispatch from
Vienna says: 1t is admitted, i'll
government circles, that England
is perfectly right in acting against
Arab Pasha's attitude of prOYoca-
ton, and so long as England cqrrys
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
intereepisl by Arab Pasha.
THE PORTE SPEAKS.
Constantinople, evening = The
Porte has telegraphed Musurus
Pasha, Turkish ambassador at Lon
don, the following: "The Porte has
learned that Admiral Seymour has
opened fire. 1t is superiuOus 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 TO issue orders to
cease firing Immediately, in order
to avert still greater misfortune.

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 and aquatical /
interest is felt in the contest as it is /
believed that it will be very in
structing in determining the light
ing value Of the latest pattern of |
irOnclads, built with the heaviest
ordnance. The British ship Inri71c-
ibLe, is supplied with new eighty |
ton rif1ed 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. FOrtifcatiOnS cannot /
stand against them, and he claims
that the same British fleet off Alex !
a1dria Bay, today, could batter |
down every fort that we have from |
Maine 20 Rl0 Grande, and could SAIL |
directly under our guns and fire with |
impunity. The lesson OF Alexan-
dria's bombardmenti is 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 are1
watching the contest in Egypt.
at the navy department it was
stated that the remark attributed to |
Admiral Nicholson, that if the
forts should fire on him he should |
return the fire, was a cablegram
from him has turned out to be en-
tirely false. The admiral was not |
authorized to open fire under any
circumstances whatever, and should |
he allow his vessels within range, or |
attempt to open fire, ne would az
once be cOurt-martialed.
