 Khedive's Unheeded Proclamation.
 ALEXANDRIA,, July 14.-At 8. m. Admiral Seymour landed and took possession of what remains of the -El-Tin palace. He has officially notified his government of the occu- patton. For the protection of the palace he disabled the guns of the batteries opposite it. having spiked those too heavy to be over thrown. The guard of Admiral Seymour at the Ras-El-Tin is composed of special body of marines. At S:3O &. m. the fires through out the city were still burning with ST eat fury. At a. m. Admiral Seymour put 8 body of marines at work clearing the streets. The Khedive was brought ashore by Admiral Seymour and is now at the lodge of Ras- Ell Tin protected by guard of seven hundred marines Admiral Seymour pronounces the conduct of all his officers and men as splen- did beyond praise. At Il 9. m. the fires in all parts of Alexandria were burning with increasing fury and spreading rapidly. The city then appeared to be beyond all doubt doomed to utter destruction. It was thought that nothing could possibly savei it, the flames
 
 seventy hours. The burning city is like 8 red hot furnace. The third part of the tow CT is burned over through almost it's entire extent. The corps of sailors detailed to cle ar 8 way through the main streets leading to the principal wharves report finding the bodies of Christians and Europeans lying ev- erywhere, most of them shockingly mutilat. ed, others nearly charred or scorched. The sailors say that the massacre must have been terrible beyond imagination.
 Arabi is preaching to h1s followers that England cannot fight on land. He points to Admiral Seymour's inability to occupy Alex andria proof of this. He says that the European powers will refuse to assist Eng land and that England has so many different troubles at present that she cannot raise an army within year. Arabi is recruiting his army by thousands, and tells the Egyptians that there is going to be great war and the great battle of it will be fought soon. Arabi claims that he lost less than 1000 men dur ing the bombardment.
 At 12 na. the fire reached the Arabian quar- ter and the French consulate building and burned up six bodies of nassacred Europeans. The marines at that time occupied the sen- al and custom house gates, fearing descent has gone away on board of his yacht, the Charklch. Panic prevails and the fear of an inevitable massacre upon the arrival of Ara bis army.
 The Khedive, after a consultation with Ad- miral Seymour, reached the decision that it would be safer to return to the fleet in view of the possible attack by Arabi's troops. The khedive then returned aboard one of his ships guarded on the way by 500 faithful Egyp- tian troops. On his arrival he at once issued proclamation advising the soldiers of Arabi to disband and empowering the British marines to shoot down all rioters on the spot. He called on the people to return to the city, assuring them of British protection, and stating that Arabi has but four thousand disorganized soldiers, and was unable to at tack the city. No attention was paid to the proclamation by the people on account of the Khedive's flight. Admiral Seymour has ordered the cannon to be aimed over the city to scare off invaders. The marines killed one hundred Arabs in street fights to-day. Arabi's corvette is anchored off Port Said. The British gunboat Iris, just arrived, is anchored with broadsides opposite. Marines patrolling the city have already reported the finding disfgured and burned corpses of two thousand Europeans
