A deficiency of provisions and water is

Port Said Admiral Seymour and General
Alison are equally of the opinion that the

not to attack in front without heavy losses
There are stronger hopes Of an undertand-
ing between England and France to oppose
exclusively Turkish intervention if DeFreyci-
net remains in office. Communications on
the subject are frequent between Lord Lyons
and the French minister of foreign affairs.
Another London despatch says that all
hopes of French or Italian cooperation is re-
linquished. Tine public are not much regret

stronger that England, if fighting single
handed, would be entitled to future predomi-
nent influence in Egypt.
PORT SAID, July 80.
DeLesseps, having heard that her Ma
jesty's troopship Orion had stopped at Is
malta and intended landing men there, start
ed Thursday night for that place. He is
said to have declared that the English should
land only after passing over his dead body
and that of his son Victor. His course is
condemned by all. 1t is said he talks of en-
listing the services of tribe of Bedouins
which he saws is devoted to him for the pur-
pose of opposing BY arms any European in
PREVENTION in this part of Egypt. Admiral
Conrad las telegaaphed the French govern
ment. complaining of the behaviour of De
Lesseps, and stating that he is encouraging
the natives and increasing general excite
ment, rendering the position much more
critical. 1t is said that the Bedouins have
undertaken to furnish $4,000 men, the chiefs
remaining as hostages in Arab Pasha' &
hands.
