lions to Lord Granville to issue orders
to cease firing Immediately in order TO
avert a still greater misfortune.

morning says 1t is contemplated to call

The Times in a leading article says
Musras Pasha, Turkish ambassador had
an interview yesterday with Earl Gran
vile and demanded that the lombard
ment of Alexandria be countermanded.
Earl Granville replied that circum-
stances compelled the British govern
ment to take
DECISIVE ACTION,
and that its decision could not be re-
| voked. We do not hesitate to say that
the effect of England's determination
| has been 10 produce most favorable
impression, both on public opinion and
the judgment of European statesmen.
/ Representatives of three provinces have
already expressed their satisfaction at
the governments action, therefore there
is no ground whatever for the assertion
that the action of England is Judged by
Europe as high-handed or unnecessary.
| If the porte refuses to intervene in Egypt
We shall gladly welcome
THE ASSISTANCE OF FRANCE,

| freycinet has shown q timidity little to
the taste of his countrymen. Gambetta
spoke yesterday in one of the bureaus OF
the chamber, in course of which he said
the most serious feature was that Eng
! land and France, after having acted to-
ge,htr at Alexandria until the ultima
tun, had parted company, and that il
the separation proved definitiye neve 7
would France have been in
MORE SERIOUS POSITION,
is sign of public opinion not to be
neglected.
The Times correspondent writing
about yesterdays bombardment, says:
The gunboats played an active part,
creeping close to the forts aud silencing
several guns. The Infiexible made
splendid practice; the Temeraire was
ashore some time, but floated subse-
quently. The gunboat Condor ran with

single shot from which would have
sunk her, and before
