THE WAR IN EGYPT.

THE Sultan has finally issued a proclamation
declaring Arab Pasha q rebel and ordering
Turkish troops to Egypt
A LONDON dispatch of the 9th says that evi-
dence is daily accommodating which shows that
the defeat of the Sixtieth rides on the night of
August was more disastrous than at first
supposed. The success gained by Arab on
that occasion has been followed up, and his
works now extend from Kafr-elDwar to Ma
halla, with headquarters four miles from the
latter place. reconnaissance yesterday shows
that his northerly outposts extend across the
Mahmoudieh canal and railway, at which
point he is concentrating heavy force. The
number Of British troops in Egypt Is thought
inadequate TO cope with his forces. Arabi's
success depends on the celerity of Anison's
movements. Every days delay, it is feared,
will prove Of advantage to Arab and enable
him to carry out plans which are daily grow
ing more formidable.
DISPATCHES from Constantinople on the 10th
say that the proclamation issued by the Porte
declaring Arab Pasha q rebel also condemns
the conduct of the military as rebeIlious and
criminal, and mentions the friendly relations
| Of the Porte with England. Lord Dufferin
had an interview with Said Pasha, and the lat
ter gave 4 satisfactory explanation concerning
the delay In settling the terms of the
proclamation against Arab Pasha and the
terms of the military convention with
England. He expressed . hope that they
would be ready soon. An important
proclamation announcing clearly the In
| tention Of the Sultan to support the Khedfve
has been issued. The Turkish Foreign Minis
ter informed Lord Dufferin that the first de-
tachment of troops for Egypt would leave
| that evening. Dervisch Pasha having COM
pleted his preparations for departure with the
troops went to the palace and asked for his
orders before embarking. The Sultan in
formed him that as certain arrangements had
still to be made, he must wait for instructions.
In some circles this reply is interpreted as
meaning that Dervisch Pasha will not be en-
trusted with the command of the Turkish
forces in Egypt.
ALEXANDRIA dispatches OF the 11th say that
the Turkish Consul at Bombay had been or
dered to give an explanation to the Ulemas OF
India. respecting the action of the Porte In
regard to sending Turkish troops to Egypt to
cooperate with the British, which had pro-
duced q great sensation among the Mohamme-
dams in India The following is the text of
the Sultan's proclamation declaring Arab
Pasha q rebel: "Arabi Pasha having the sec
ond time transgressed the law by taking
authority which does not belong to him, and
having presumed to menace vessels belonging
to an old tried friend and ally of Turkey,
Is for these misdeeds proclaimed a rebel, to-
gether with his adherents. Be Unknown to all
that obedience Is due solely to the Khedive,
who is the representative of the Sultan" The
formation of q new Ministry will probably be
announced soon with Cherif Pasha as Prime
Minister. Most Of the present ministers, ex-
cepting Ragheb Pasha, remain in Office. Sule-
man Pasha will take the portfolio Of Minister
. OF Education and Cherif Pasha Minister oi
Religion. They are both partisans of Arab
Pasha. 1t was rumored in Alexandria tha,
. Arab Pasha had executed the Governor oi
Behera on the Sth.
CoSsTANTINoPLR dispatches say that tn.
Turkish delegates to The Conference informed
Lord Dufferin on 'he 18th that no troops would
be landed in Egypt until the arrival Of the
Turkish Special Commissioners. What Lort
Dufferin insisted upon, in order to secure har
mony of action, was that no movement o.
: Turkish troops, when they are In Egypt
! should take place without the preliminar,
consent Of General Wolselcy. The minister
set throughout the night discussing the termi
of the proclamation against Arab Pasha. Th'
Sultan has directed that in addition to th'
proclamation he has already made, he declares
that Arab shall submit on the ground that h
WAS acting contrary to the precepts of tn
, Koran. Importance is attached to this expires
