THE THUNDRRER'S IDEAS.
LONDON, July 12.-The Times this morning
says, it is contemplated to call out 1000 of
trained men belonging to the regiments prepar-
ed to proceed to Egypt.
The Times in leading article this morning
says: Musuruo Pasha, Turkish ambassador,
had an interview yesterday with Earl Gran.
vile ad demanded that the bombardment
OF Alexandria be countermandsd. Earl Gran.
vile replied that circumstances compelled the
British government to take decisive action,
and that its decision could not be revoked.
We do not hesitate to say that the effect OF
England's determination has been to produce
most favorable impression on public opin-
Ion, and the judgment Of European statesmen,
representative Of the powers, has already ex-
pressed satisfaction at the governments ac-
ton. There 10 therefore no ground whatever
for the assertion that the action Of England
lie Judged by Europe as high handed or I'M
necessary. II the porte refuses to in
tervene in Egypt, we shall gladly welcome
the assistance OF France, and the signs arc
not wanting that De Freycinet has shown
tlmidity little to his countrymen's taste. GAM
betta's speech yesterday In one of the bureaus
OF the chamber In the course OF which he said
the most serious feature was that England
and France after after having acted together
In Alexandria in presenting the ultimatum
had parted company, and that if the separa-
ton proved definite, never would France have
been in more serious position.
A correspondent writing about yesterdays
bombardment, says: the gunboats played
active parts, creeping close to the forts and
silencing several guns. The Infexible made
splendid practice. The Temeraire was
ashore some time but hoated subsequently.
The gun-boat Condor ran within ZOO yards
of Marabout fort, single shot from which
would have sunk her and therefore the signal
was given to cease firing. She had silenced
the three great guns in the fort. Admiral
Seymour signasd swell done Condor" The
Superb has two holes in her side. Another
correspondent sends the following:
One OF the officials from Dervisch Pashs,
who brought letter from the ministry to
Seymour Offering to dismount the guns, In
formed me that he and many others were not
sorry that hostilities were about to begin, a.
1t was the only way in which 1t could be made
and the fate OF the two parties, VIZ. the one in
favor of the khedive and order, and the other
in favor OF Arab Pasha and anarchy, could be
decided. The officials were conveyed ashore
after Seymour had given him his decision In
writing.
At $3.50 the order passed TO load with she'll,
and satisfaction shone In the faces of the
sailors. The wind and sun were both In the
enemy's favor. 1t was sOue time before the
smoke shifted enough to afford glimpse of
the shore. as nothing could be seen from the
deck. A midshipman was posted In the main
top to signal the directions OF the shells and
the accuracy of the firing improved. No news
from the town of Alexandria.
WooLwICH, Eng, July ls.-The war news
has given encouragement to recruiting.
Young men are coming forward in consider
able numbers. A correspondent at Alexan-
dria describing yesterdays bembardment
particularly mentions the deadly effect OF the
electric broadsldes from the ships which
attacked the Phoras and Ras FL Tin
forts. The IDfexibls being furthest
westward was able to she'll the mexs fort with
one turret and Ras- Ten forts with the other.
After ali the enemy's guns were silsnced, the
men-of-war confined Smelling the fortidca-
lions and useds hrapnel, probably at the re.
treating soldiers.

canal for the last forty eight hours. All ships,
including the Indian mail steamers, remain on

ton is ahoat. The british consul, In pursu.
anee of Admiral Seymour's instructions, has
hauled down the nag and gone aboard q gun.
boat.
LONDON, July IA correspondent, on
board the Helicon sends the following: The
less OF Egyptians must be dreadful. A num-
Der OF shells repeatedly struck the works Just
about where the guns were and threw mp vast
volumes OF yellow dust. 1t was often thought
the guns must be demolished, but they sp-
peared unlnjured when the smoke had cleared.
The funnel of the Superb is pierced and the
plate below the foremost glacis is torn away.
One of The boats Of the Inhexible is useless
and the other badly damaged.
The Inhsxibls bore the full brunt OF the fire
OF the west end OF the Ras-El-Tfn fort for
three and half hours. One shell has shot

through her funnel. The harem adjoining
Ras Ei-Tin and adjacent rife tower continued
TO burn all night.
