ceeded considerable distance. All was per-
fectly silent, but for the roar of the flames.

A CORRESPONDENTS STORY.
A correspondent on board the Invincible |
telegrsphs as follows:
"OTFALExANDRIA, July 10. O'Clock pm,
after day break this morning a number
OF persons we're seen on the edge of the water
of the harbor Glasses showed them 10 be
Europeans Boats were at once lowered,
and crews armed 10 the teeth started for the
shore. They found about 100 Europeans,
many Of Them wounded, who had gathered
in the A tglo- Egyptian Bank, and had resisted
desperately. They b ad N intained themselves
there thronghout the night Toward day
light their assaiIants drew of, and the party
made their way &c the shore. They reported
that Arab Pasha, before be left with his
troops, lad the prisons opened, and thai the |
conslcts, joined by the lower classes ard
SOME BsdOrins, proceeded to sack the city |
and kill every christian they could hnd
and set the European quarter on fire.
From the part they were defending the Eu-
reports OF pistols and guns. Scores OF fugi-
tives We're shot down or beaten 10 death IN
their sight. The European quarter Ia all IN
names and the great square is mass OF
smoking ruins All the public buildings
are destroyed, and nothing European seems
TO have esca ped the rage Of the fanatics.
Several shells have been fired within
the last two hours into that por-
ton OF The city where the confagration
broke out, in hopes that they may
scare The pillsgers. That many pillagers !
remain . evident BY the fact that several
fresh hre have broken out N The last three
hoqrs. British guuboat is lying close
10 Ran d. Two ironclads are cruising ne ar
and vii ire upon any men approaching the
palace An officer just returned from the
telesraps snip Chiltern reports the scenes OF
carnage u shore appalling. The town for
some hem after the troops left was a verita-
pie Pandnonium. IL is suspected that the
iorts sreundermined, and they will be care
lolly e2nined before any large bodies OF
oops az allowed TO enter them. Aboukir Is
