FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

CAIRO, June 13.-Dervish Pasha
and Arab Pasha did not 60 to Alex
andria, as announced, but sent orders
to decamp. There have been numer-
GUS assaults on Europeans by Arabs in
Cairo.
The Khedive, accompanied by Der
Wish Pasha, started for Alexandra to
day.
LONDON, June 13.-A correspond.
ntat Alexandria states that the Euro
peans are leaving there as fast as they
can. The COnsuls have issued a proc.
lamation exhorting the Europeans to
remain tranquil, aud expressing con-
fdeuce that the army will be able to
maintain order. One hundred per-
sons were killed iu the riots on Sun
day. The position is terrible one.
Any small force the feet could land
would only suffice to incite the Arabs
to general massacre.
The News to day prints the crop
reports, showing that in France, Hol-
land and Germany the condition of
crops is highly favorable. Opportune
rains in Southern Russia caused a re-
newal of the favorable progress. The
weather in England during the last
few days has been extraordinarily cold,
checking vegetation.
In the House of Commons this after
noon, Mr.. Dixie, Under Foreign Sec
retary, stated that the government had
informed Malet, British Consul Gen
eral in Egypt, that they think his
place is with the Khelive at Alexan-
dria. He said he supposed that if the
Consuls went to Alexandria a num-
Der of Europeans would also go there.
He declared the present anarchy in
Egypt would not be allowed to con-
tinue; that the garrison at Alexan-
dria bad been increased to $4,000 men,
and on the outbreak of a riot Admiral
Seymour had made preparations to
land a large body of marines and tele-
graphed Mallet FOR leave to do So,
but the latter had refused, alter
comforting with the Consuls.
The purpose of Dervish
Pasha and the Khedive in
going to Alexandria is to check any
further outbreak and obviate the
necessity of landing the marines.
The Egyptian beneficial securities
have fallen two per cent within
twenty four hours on account of the
reports of further troubles in Egypt.
A correspondent of the Times at
Cairo telegraphs that unless there is
an overwhelming Turkish force at
Alexandria before Sunday, there will
be worse outbreak than that of last
Sunday. He says the prestige Of
Dervish Pasha has disappeared, a
later dispatch from Alexandria an-
nounces the arrival Of the Khedive
and Dervish Pasha at Raseltine Pal
ace, which can be protected by the
guns of the feet.
| ALEXANDRIA, June 13.-The Ell.
| lish mau of-war Superb came round to
! the harbor Sunday at midnight The
report that she was about to land the
marines to protect the Consulate hav.
ing spread, soldiers directly crowded
the beach, and the boats of the Superb
were ordered to keep of. The proper
ton Of Arabs killed in the late riot
is insignificant. The feet is almost a
source of danger. When the French
stationed vessel opposite their Con-
sulate to receive refugees, she Was i'm
mediately surrounded by Egyptian
steam launches, which remained, and
a collision may occur at any moment.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 13.-The
Empress was safely delivered of
daughter this morning. The child is
to be named Ola. Public buildings
were decked with flags in honor of the
event.
