ALEXANDRIA, June 26.-The Khe-
dive has written to Ragheb Pacha,
president of the council, recapitu~
lating the recent events in Egypt,
which the Khedive describes as de
plorable. He points out that, not>
withstanding his assurances, the
foreigners continue to abandon
Egypt; that commercial affairs are
at stand-still; that the specie is
being hastily withdrawn; that there
is complete absence of credit, and
that an enormous loss is thus caused
to the country. He declares that
strict, searching inquiry must be
held, and he commands Ragheb
Pasha earnestly to consider the best
means of finding out the cause that
led to the catastrophe in Alexandria,
which, he says, might have been
avoided by timely measures. He
urges Ragheb Pasha to discover the
names of the promoters of the riot,
and of their accomplices, with
view to their severe punishment.
The Khedive says it is absolutely
necessary that measures be taken for
the establishment of friendly rela~
tions between the natives and the
Europeans for the maintenance of
order and for the resumption of
business, on which the prosperity of
the country depends.
