THE EGYPTIAN WAR.
Italy to be Called on to Help Re
store Order
Arab Pasha's Position Being
Daily Strengthened.

England and France on Monday
Jointly invited Italy to participate in
the protection of the Suez Canal
that it is probable that within the
next twenty-four hours Italy will be
invited to cooperate with Great
Britain in restoring order in Egypt.
The Times, in a leading article,
saws that neither as sovereign will
Suez reign nor under any other title
will there be room for the influence of
the Sultan in Egypt, after the res
sponsibilities of the sovereignty have
been cynically thrown aside. In the
hour of trial, the Sultan ma have
aroused himself by forming new
alliances and complimenting his new
allies with decorations but it re-
mains to be seen what hel lp these
sympathisers can Or will give the
Porte England, by acting alone,
will assert her right of controlling
in the future the country she saved.
Those who object to the prospecthave
even at the eleventh hour, an op-
portunity of sharing the labor and
obtaining voice in the delineation
of events, but if England is left
to act alone, the formal engage
ments she took when the situation
was wholly different, will be abro-
gated. We must plainly show to
the Sultan and to the Powers that
we intend to work thoroughly to re-
tain control. When that is done,
Gladstone and his colleagues must
yield to the compulsion of the
events. Our commanding naval
force and we'll organized army will
ensure strong government under
English protection, if the ministry
do not hesitate in enlisting upon the
path which lies straight before them.
A dispatch to the daily Telegraph
from Vienna says: kilograms
from Egypt announce that an Arab
Pasha man named Eljibad, or the
holy man, appeared at Tantah."
A dispatch to the News from
Simla says that as reconstructed
expedition contains less infantry, but
more cavalry, than before, the object
of reconstruction isto render it as
mobile as possible.
A correspondent of the News at
Versailles says the French marines
will start for Port Said on the 9th
inst. Transports will follow with
100000 htres of water. Algeria
will furnish battalion Of Zmanas.
PARIS, July 26.-Dissensions, ap~
parent in the discussions in the
Chamber upon the naval vote, may
result III serious resistance there, as
at the Cabinet council yesterday
many. of the ministers were averse
to any intervention, even at Suez.
ALEXANDRIA, July 26, 7:10 p. NJ
The Egyptian vessel, Icharkeh, left
here this morning to take on board
the garrison at Abauker which had
declared loyalty to the Khedive and
to land party to spike the guns on
the works. She has not returned.
The garrison numbered 1000 men.
Retail trade has revived somewhat
in Alexandria. The centre of the
great square is filling with cafes and
booths.
The slowness of our military pres
parations daily strengthen the posi-
ton of Arab Pasha. Leading Egyp-
tians here declare that if the troops
only arrive by the latter part of
August, Arab Pasha will, in the
meantime, have time to consumate
the ruin of the country. Efforts are
being made to circulate the Khe,
dives proclamation declaring Arab
Pasha rebel, throughout Egypt, by
the agency of Bedouin chiefs, but
the severe measures taken by Arab
Pasha against several influential chiefs
renders it very difficult for the
authorities to induce them to under
take the mission. The enemy's pa
trolls are very vigilant, so we get no
authentic news of what is passing
between the range of our glasses,
The enemy's position, though strong.
is much less formidable than was
the Beers position at Longskeck.
The House of Commons again ad,
iourned without reaching a division
on the motion for credit for the force
in Egypt.
LONDON, July ga dispatch to
the st. James Gazette from Constan-
tinople says that telegram has been
received from Arab Pasha deprecat-
ing the despatch of Turkish troops
to Egypt, and declaring fidelity to
Khalifate.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram
Company from Constantinople says :
"Arabi Pasha is very popular among
the Ulimas and lower classes here.
The Turks believe that if he is de
feated he will destroy Cairo, join the
insurgents in Soudan, and pro-
claim the independence of pos,
sessions IN upper Egypt. Some OF
the Sultans advisers counsel him
to send force merely to occupy
Alexandria, while others propose the
dispatch of a deputation OF Ulimas
to induce Arab Pasha to lay down
his arms
1t is reported in diplomatic circles
that Prince Bismarck has instructed
the German representative here to
declare that Germany regards Eng
lands Intervention in Egypt as the
only means of avoiding European
conflict, and believes that when
Egypt is pacifed the powers will de
mand collective settlement of the
Egyptian question.
The Daily News says that the
statement that Turkey has consented
to send troops to Egypt is mislead
ing. The porte has recognized the
