The Situation in Egypt.

The chief change in affairs during
the week has been diplomatic. The
complications have become more COM
plicated, If possible. The Porte did its
part to this end by at last agreeing to
send Turkish troops to Egypt, and max
ing great show of preparation; vet
still declaring its hope that matters
could be settled amicably, and refusing
England's demand that Arab should
be pronounced an outlaw and rebel by
the Sultan. 1t was firmly believed that
the Sultan and Arab were in communi-
cation, and Fngland's position ~was
made peculiarly delicate. To the deli
cacy was added discontinue by the re.
fusal of the French Chambers to vote

and England stands alone. She has
been forced to declare that at this stage
the aid OF Turkish troops will only be
accepted as secondary and auxiliary.
BY this it will be seen that the diplo-
matte situation is strained and pre-
carious one, with all the international
Jealousies and self-interests at play.
For the military situation, the Eng
llsh have made some advances toward
Arabs ehcampment, and one slight
engagement took place. Arab has
more strongly entrenched himself. He
has been greatly helped by large pub
lie meeting in Cairo. attended by the
ulemas, cadis, the Coptic Patriarch,
heads OF the Armenian, Greek and |
Maronite communities, various high |
fuDctionaries, mttdirs, notables and
leading merchants-in all 1854 persons.
The meeting decided with great enthu-
siasm to sustain Arabi.so that he might
defend the country until the conclu-
sion OF satisfactory peace or the total
of his forces. All de-
,rees to the contrary were declared an
nulled, as the Khedive was beyond the
pale Of Mussulman law. Arab act
lally represents Egypt, therefore, in
