CoNsTANTINoPLE. July 3O.-Ar
official telegram from the rebel govern
ment 9ays: "The Khedive having is
sued dec zoe dismisslng Arab Pashs
from the ministry for neglecting to de-
fend Alexandria, and having Published
proclamation declaring that England
is the fgiand of Egypt, Arab Pasha
has called on the country, of which he
is q submissive servant to pronounce its
will in the matter.
At a great meeting called for Satur-
day, 29th inst, comprising Ulemas,
Cadis, the Coptic Patriarch, heads Of
the Ameri EAU, Greek and Maronite
communities, various high function.
aries, Mudirs, Notables and leading
merchants, in all three hundred and
sixty-f0ur persons, moving speeches
were delivered, especially by Ali Bey,
Under secretary of the Sultan, who
recounted outrages OF English sailors
upon Alexandrian women. The meet
ing, with only three dissentients, de-.
cided to maintain Arab so that he
might defend the country until the
conclusion of satisfactory peace or
the total determination OF his tofces.
Ali DEGREES to the contrary were de-
clared annulled, as the Khedive was
beyond the pale of Mussulman law. 1t
was resolved that the decision of the
meeting be submitted to the Porte
Cousins of the KhediVe, who were pres
ent at the meeting declared that Tewik
would be KhediVe if he sided with the
country and the army, but that under
the present circumstances he is either a
prisoner or puppet of the British and
his authority might be repudiated. I'm
mense nun bers Of people paraded the
streets last evening, shouting "ViCtory
to friends Of Egypt against aggressors.
The various governments have asked
their representatives here for eXplana.
tions in regard TO the IbsenCe of M.
Onou, the Russian delegate from Thurs
days sitting Of the conference, but the
representatives profess that they are
unable to explain the cause. They
state that an arrangement would have
been reached on Thursday between the
Porte and the conference but for the
absence CT M. Onou. The ad djourn-
ment of the meeting at such moment
is regarded as seriously endangerinG
the success of the conference. Lord
Dufferin, the Marquis de NOailles and
Count Corti had received important in
structiOns from their respective govern.
ments, which they were unable to com.
municate to the conference.
Lord Dufferin, British Ambassador,
again sent Mr.: Sandison, Secretary of
the Legation, to ask the Sultan to issue
the proclamation denouncing Arab
Pasha as a rebel. MIR. Sandison, at the
same time, gave the Sultan conciliatory
explanations, stating that England did
not aim at a protectOrate over Egypt.
He also asked for the circulars concern
ing the composition Of the Turkish ex.
pedition to Egypt. The Sultan gave
no satisfactory answer. 1t is stated,
however, that he is irritated at Eng
lands action, aud that he has sent YER
bal messages through Mr.. Sandison
that he would do nothing for England,
but would only yield to the wishes of
Europe
The special steamer which arrived
here yesterday did not bring the instruc-
tions M. OnOu, the Russian representa-.
tive, was expectino. A telegram which |
M. Onou had received instructed him
not to attend the sittings of the confer |
ence, and added that further instruc.
tions would be sent GA the oath. 1t is |
thought uncertain that the expected
dispatch will direct M. Onou 10 attend
the conference. 1t is believed here
that Russia considers that the relations
of England and Turkey might result in
the conclusion of an alliance which
Russia is anxious to prevent. DOUBTS
are still expressed as to the actual de-
parture of tn Turkish expedition 10
Egypt.
