The Standards correspondent telegrsphs
as follows from Alexandria on Monday
morning: The question Of peaceor war is
now out OF the hands Of the British sd-
miral and is vested solely in Arab Bey
and his followers. The ultimatum was
sent In this merning early. Admiral
Seymour demanded surrender Of the
forts at the mouth of the harbor. Should
the demand not be complied with, fire
Will be opened I'D tomorrow morning
early. It is possible that Arab Bey at
the last moment will give way, but this
Is not anticipated. He has committed
himself too far to draw back. 1t is by
boarding the western power that hs 90
tanned his prestige and influence with the
Egyptians To surrender the forts to the
demand OF England alone without
striking blow, would be fatal. Early
this morning the remaining British
subjects embarked, aud save 3 few
