ALEXANDRIA, July 2i,-Thc 10th rifles
marched to occupy Ramleh this morning.
Some skirmishing is now proceeding, but
no details have been received. The 55th
Infantry has been ordered to support the
Goth. The bulk of Arab Pasha's infantry
is reported to be concentr ated at Damleta,
the troops at Kafr Dewar being chiefly ar.
tillery and cavalry. The inspector OF Ca
dastril has arrived from the interior. He
reports the whole force of rebels nearly 100.
0OV. lie says Il volunteer cavalry regi-
ment is forming to attack Alexandria. A
dispatch from Alexandria in the second
edition of the Daily Telegraph says Arab
| Pasha fell back last evening to the other
side of Rameh, thus forcing the above
mentioned operation on the British.
a dispatch to the Standard from Alexan-.
| dria says: The rifles and mounted inian-
| try occupied Ramleh nearly all this morn
| ing. They stationed one gatling and one
| field guDat the bridge over the canal. The
enemy's cavalry appeared and galoped
boldly along the railway at 800 yards range,
but fled upon volley being fired. After
sometime they appeared with two guns
| with which they opened fire. Intellectually
| upon the British, who took to cover. Bye
O'Clock firing had ceased by the enemy
who was expected to reappear with rein
| forcements.
A dispatch to the Times from Alexandria
says it appears tolerably certain that Arab
Pasha's force is composed OF 5000 men, 80
| field pieces,6 gatling guns and an unknown
| number of smooth bores. The latter were
| taken e--and.placed on earth works in
! front of his position.
Ragheb Bey, officer of the embar-
| COED mail steamer, was arrested. Doc
uments were found upon him show
| ing that for months he has acted as agent
for Arab Pasha for carrying COM
munication between him and the palace
and Pan lslalio committee at Constantino-
pie. Ragheb was taken before the tribu.
nal, and upon being promised lenity if he
fully confessed, gave complete list of
persons with whom A abb Pasha was con-
nected, the list including the names OF
several influential persons at Constantine
| pie. Ragheb also gave list of Arabi's
confederates in Egypt. A cypher letter
to Arabi was found upon him.
LArER-The fighting is finished. Casualties
are insignificant. The British troops remain
IN occupation Of Ramlch. Two of the
deputation appointed by the mobiles have
arrived here. They report that Arab
Pasha, on learning the dispatch OF
ments of 1000 men to Cairo.
There are now here ten English, two Aus
trian, one American, one German, one
Russian, one Greek and three Italian men,
of-war.
Cheri Pasha has escaped from Cairo and
gone to Port Said. The khedive has sum.
moned him to Alexandria. Aneve-wituess
from Tantah states that eighty-five Euro
peans were tortured, disemboweled, torn to
pieces. and that women were violated and
tortured. Soldiers participated in the afro
cities.
The khedive hns issued a circular
to the army notifying it of Arabi's dis
missal and outlawry, threatening punish
ment upon all who adhere to Arab, and
promising rewards and cmoluments to all
who return to obedience to him. 1t is con-
sidered certain that Arab will DESTROY
Cairo unless defeated and captured. In re-
ply to the proclamation of the Khedive,
Arab appointed ministry of his own ai
Cairo. Preparations have been made TO
attack Aboukir. Arab is moving portions
OF his forces in that direction. The
khedive has requested that a steamer 10
proceed to Dulcigno to fetch 1000 Alban-
lans to act as his body guard. The minis.
ters have opposed the project, refusing to
provide money therefor.
