 ALEXANDRIA, Aug 21.-Captain Hastings landed force of marines and Highlanders at Chalouf last night. He found the enemy strongly intrenched, and after sharp fight took forty-fve prisoners and quantity of ammunition. Two Highlanders were drown ed. The enemys loss is considerable The fighting was desperate and the place was cap- tured only at the point of the bayonet. Cap tain Hastings gallantly led the charge The English troop ships have now all entered the canal and all are proceeding to Ismailla. It is believed that after the passage of the British ships through, the ships of other na tions will be permitted to depart their clusion for the present being only intended to facilitate the movements of the British vessels.
 A slight skirmish occurred in front of Is mailia this morning without important re- suits. Arabi's troops believed to be in strong force at Wakasma town between Ismailia and Zagazig, where hs is reported to have 1000 men and twelve Krupp guns, in a strongly intrenched position. Unusual ac- tivity prevailed in Arabi's camp at Kafr el- Dwar o-day, and it is credibly reported that ! he is moving his personal headquarters to Tantah, where he has an intrenched camp. This point being nearly equidistant from two of the British bases of operation, namely, Alexandria and 1smailia, his action would J1 Nf l the rebel leader to make 8 determined resistance on both lines by nassing his army l between Tantah and Zagazig, while leaving a sufficient force to hold the entrenched posi- tion at Kafr eI-Dwar against British column ! moving from Alexandria and fully garrisonng the Notifications of Zagazig and Tel-el Kelri. ! The operations at Chalouf and it's vicinity yesterday evening are believed to point to a ! projected advance upon Cairo by column l moving from Suez, in which movement the l troops now arriving from India would be em ployed The distance from Cairo to Suez is out little more than seventy miles and Is ! traversed by an old cavaran route and also by 1 an abandoned railway grade, but the country is | wild. mountainous and 8 desert entirely de- void of water and easily defended by 8 1 mounted force of natives. It Is reported that Arabi has provided for the contingency of 8 movement from this direction by detaching a | strong body of Bedouins to patrol the coun ! try between c tiro and Suez and harrass and delay any movement of the British in that \ quarter until he can concentrate infantry and
 artillery at some position, probably Bahr-el- l Geida, about midway between these points,
 to resist the British advance. Although this ! Is the shortest route to Cairo open to the
 British. the difficulties of the country are l such that it is the general opinion in military l circles that movement of that line would be ! extremely hazardous and likely to result in disaster.
 The Second division has been ordered to
 b. in readiness to follow up Arabi in case he
 retreats from Kafr-el Dwar.
