Arab has presented the outline oi his
defense. lie objects to being questioned
in any way about the massacre at Alexan-
dria, Tautah and other places during the
war in Egypt, because he was in no way
either cognizant OF the immediate causes
producing them, or responsible for them.
He explains Ills position on this point by
protesting that the British ilcet had no
rightto lombard Alexandria 1T all; that
the bombardment and tho fact that i! was
done after not more than twenty.iour hours
notice, which was entirely too short 10 al
low the people either to remove their goods
or carry away their infirm invalids or
children, provoked a feeling Of uncontrol-
able indignation among tho natives,
who v believed. > from It that the
Christians in Egypt and those
invading the country were in de-
termined league to steal in upon the
country and destroy and depopula,e it.
Arab alleges that he and his officers did
all in their power to keep under control
this dangerous feeling among the Egyp-
tians, and insists that he would have sue
ceeded in preventing m outbreak Of it II
Admiral. Seymour, had not been in such
murderous haste, and states that it was
common belief among his (Arahi's) staff
that the British were well informed Of the
dangerous temper Of the populace and
know that the bombardment under the
circumstance would drive the Egyptians
into frenzy aud that their conduct, under
this unexusperation, would DO directed
mainly against the resident Christians, and
expected that this would give the British
IN opportunity to claim d warrant for land
ing and occupying ;the country, Arabi
claims, therefore, that the British were
solely responsible for these massaCres and
insists that the British must clear them.

ing acted with the object Of producing
them for the purpose Of accomplishing
their ultimate end, before they have any
right TO question him who did all in his
power 10 prevent them. Arab further
saysthatwhen tl,e.aeet was destroying the
city OF Alexandria the fire supposed to be
|ty the excited mob WIS lit by sparks
thrown. A Maltese known TO sympathize
with the invaders was stabbed in the street
by IN Arab who denounced Seymour's con-
duct, and from this single occurrence en-
sued all the boodshed. In regard TO the
floyalty Of his conduct, and in contfadic-
ton Of the charge Of rebellion Arab pro-
duces evidence that he was acting in per,
feet feally both TO the Sultan and to the
Khedive, as his viceroy, so far us both the
Sultan and the Khedive made known their
wishes to him. lie. shows in proof Of these
that the Khedive decorated him two days
before the bombardment.

German alliance; the acceptance Of accom-.
