LONDON, July PA correspondent on
board the Helicon sends the following:
The loss of the Egyptians must be dread
full. A number Of shells repeatedly struck
the works just about the guns, and threw
up vast volumes Of yellow dust. 1t was
often thought that the guus must have
been demolished, but they appeared unin-
jured when the smoke had cleared. 1t is
likely that the European quarters in Alex
andria have been seriously damaged, as
several shells from the Infiexible were seen
TO burst Immediately over the center of the
town.
LONDON, July lathe Times this morn
ing says it is contemplated to call out

places OF the recruits belonging to the reg
iments prepared to proceed to Egypt.
The Times correspondent, writing about
yesterdays bombardment, says the gum
boats played an active part, creeping close
to the forts and silencing several guns.
Tit lntiexible made splendid practice.
Ihe IeIneraire was ashore some time, but
1oated subsequently. The gunboat Con-
dor ran within 1900 yards Of Marabout
Fort, a single shot from which would have
sunk her, and before the signal was given
to cease firing she had silenced three great
guns in the fort. Admiral Seymour sig
nailed we'll done, Condor, The Superb has
two holes in her side.
A dispatch from Suez says that no mer-
chant vessels have entered the Canal dur
ing the last 48 hours. All the ships, in
Guiding the Indian mail steamers, remain

population is afioat. The British Consul,
in pursuance of Admiral Seymour's in
structions, has hauled down his flag and
gone aboard q gunboat.
In the Commons this afternoon Dixie,
Under Secretary Of Foreign Affairs, said
that as far as he Vas aware Admiral Seg-
mour had already cautioned merchant
vessels that they would pass through the
Suez Canal at their own risk. He added
that he was a W that torpedoes had
been laid in the Canal.
LONDON, July 12.--The Times Paris
correspondent says: NJ. Goblet, replying
to Gambetta in regard to Egyptian affairs.
said that France had not co-operated in
the Commandment, because England's con
duct did not seem to be justified, and be-
cause France did not desire to emerge
from the European concert. The cores
pondent adds: 1t is at least six weeLs
since England proposed to France, but as
France raised objections, England gave up
the idea Of French cooperation in that
direction, and turned her attention to
Alexandria. Since then she has constantly
urged France to keep her company, and
until the last moment she had not given
up hope.
In the Commons this afternoon Glad
stone, replying to Gourley, an advanced
Liberal, said he made communications to
the other Governments in regard to the
free navigation Of the Suez Canal, which
he thought it his duty to make. Gonrley
moved an adjournment, in order to obtain
a satisfactory statement. Sir Wilfred
Lamson, radical, seconded the motion,
declaring that the action Of England was
atrocious, cruel and cowardly.
Gladstone said the action of the Govern

the boudholders. adding that it would be
unjust, on his part, to discuss the reason
for the course taken by France. He said
that the massacre at Alexandria remained
unavenged and unin ~vestigated. The effect
would be serious to Europeans. The
present Egyptian regime was one OF mill
tary violence. The proceedings Of Great
Britain were not against the people, but
against their oppressors.
Dixie denied that Arab Pasha repre-
sented the native movement. He denied
that yesterdays action was assassination.
Austria and Germany approved it. A
European concert would settle the Egypt
ian question.
LONDON, July PA dispatch from Adj
miral Seymour, sent at 2 O'Clock this after

days firing. A flag Of truce was hoisted
at noon at the arsenal, where the Minister
OF War aud official divAn are. A gunboat,
