native quarter of the city and was evidently
started by ineend;aries. 1t was stated that the
Sultan had decided to denonnce Arab Pasha
as traitor. Dervish Pasha was treated very
coldly by the Sultan on his return TO Coh<. an
tinople from Egypt because he did not persuade
Admiral Seymour to delay the bombardment
of Alexandria 1t was feared In Alexandria
thatan attempt would be made on the life of
the Khedive. The native bitterness against
him was increasing. The men In whom he
trusted despised him and were constantly
communicating with Arab. On the 27th
three of his prominent adherents openly
joined his enemies. There was no doubt but
that tremendous energy had been shown
within the lines of Arabi's army and that his
forces were being augmented every day. All
eulistments were for holy war. The soldiers
are perfectly loyal to him, and there are no
well authenticated stories OF dissension in his
ranks. ...
A CoNsTANTINoPLE dispatch of the 27th
says that at sitting Of the Conference there
on the 26th Turkish delegates declared the
readiness Of Turkey to dispatch troops i'm
mediatelY under conditions of the identical
note. The Porte does not advance any counter
proposals, but merely expresses some wishes
In regard to detail
ALEXANDRIA advices of the 2Sth say that the
runors that Arab Pasha had declared that he
would resist the Turkish forces are untrue
BE has renewed his assurance of fidelity to tzs
Sultan. At meeting Of the conference Lord
Dufferin, the British Ambassador, renewed his
proposal for the issue of . proclamation de-
claring Arab Pasha ssAsi- Said Pasha, the
Turkish Prime Mik1Eter, thought that such q
proclamation should not be issued until the
Turkish troops had landed in Egypt. Arab,
in a letter 20 Ali Mahbarak Pasha, states that
| he Is only General in command of the Egyptian
| forces of a provisional government having
been formed Mt Cairo, with National Assem-
bly, of 800 members. A meeting of the leading
1 Europeans was held on the 2Sth, at which three
resolutions were passed: the first expressing
want Of confidence in the native police; the
second, expressing disspproval Of the free cir
culation of natives to and from the city, thus
adording Arabi Pasha the means of infaming
the passions Of the people, and the third de-
manding that every native give proof Of his
means of subsistence. This last resolution is
aimed at the spies and emissaries of Arab
Pasha- Many persons have been arrested on
false charges, preferred, in some instances, by
Europeans, two of whom have been placed in
custody for perjury, and another condemned
to years imprisonment, to be bastinadoed,
and pay a.fne of seven pounds. A report was
circulated that Arab Pasha had proposed
terms Of peace, the conditions being voluntary
exile and reduction to the rank and pay of
Colonel for himself and nine of his colleagues,
but It was not confirmed.
ADMIRAL SEYMOUR, in q letter to the Khe-
dive on the 2Sth, said that England had no
intention of eonquering Egypt for herself,
but would protect Egyptians against all rebels
and restore order"
LORD CHARLES BEREsFoRD stated on the
2Sth ult. that without the assistance Of the
American Marines at Alexandria, 1t would have
been impossible for him to have discharged
the numerous duties of suppressing the fires
and preventing looting, burying of the dead
and clearing the streets Of that city.
ONLY one American vessel, the Quinnebury,
remained at Alexandria on the 2Sth ult.
ApvICEs from Alexandria on the 10Th ult.
say that the fort at Gabara was destroyed that
morning by the British, and large powder
magazine at Me Vhirrom, from which Arab
Pasha had recently taken his stores, was also
demolished. Osman Pasha Rifki, and twenty
six Circassian officers, implicated in plot to
assassinate Arab Pasha, arrived from Con-
stantinople, having been summoned by the
Khedive. They were received with great
ceremony. correspondent telegraphs the
Boston Herald that a member of the Gov
ernment had assured him that the re-
ports of Arabi's intentions to offer
terms of peace were entirely unfounded.
Very little confidence, he says, can be
placed in the correspondents at -Alexan-
dria, as all important probabilities were care
fully hidden from them. Arabi sent delegates
TO meet the flag of truce on the 10Th ult., but
they declined to talk about surrendering on
any terms, and were very insulting to the En-
giish officers. They said they were going to
resist to the bitter end and that Arab had the
whole country with him. Arab Pasha is
obviously playing a waiting game. He tele-
graphed private party at Alexandria on the
2Sth ult., bitterly complaining of the prcju-
diced reports sent out ill the English move
ments were known by hinE lie now signs
himself Commander of National Army, serv-
ing the Provisional Government at Cairo,''
and has assumed the green turban, showing
him to be descendant OF the prophet.
