LATEST NEWS FROM ALL QUARTERS.

CoSsrANTISoPLR, August 3.-The Otto
man Plenipotentiary made the following
declaration: "We have received COM
munications of Lord Dufferin and each
member of the conference regarding the
point that England is obliged to maintain
troops in Egypt in consequence of the in
action of the Porte. The Ottoman repre-
sentatives are of opinion that action on the
part of the Sultan would be more practical
and effcacious than action by England.
The assertion of the inaction on the part
of the Porte is unfounded, as after the pre-
sentation of the identical note the Forte
agreed to take part in the conference and
dispatch troops to Egypt.
"Secondly-The resolution that the Porte.
dispatch troops 10 Egypt was based upon
the tenor of the identical note, and satisfied
the Powers; but the attitude adopted by
England in subordinating her acceptance
of the arrival and cooperation OF Turkish
troops to the proclamation of Arab Pasha
as rebel, is not in accordance with the
satisfaction expressed by the powers.
i'Thirdly-The Porte never declined the
assistance of the Powers to maintain
status quo which was proved by Turkey
accepting the conditions OF the Identical
note relating to the future OF Egypt.
As to Arabi Pasha.
"Fourthly-Regarding the is.ue of a
proclamation declaring Arab Pas "a rebel,
the Porte hopes the Conference will ap.
prove of the proclamation being issued
simultaneously with the presencc OF Otto
man troops in Egypt. In order - obtain
an efffcacious and practical result, when
ever disorders require the adoptipl OF rig
orous measures, as the proclamation is to
explain the situation and to impeach sub
iect of the Sultan who was decorated at the
moment when manifesting fidelity, IT must
derive it's force from the immed ate coop
Grafton of the Imperial troops, whose alb
sence at the promulgation would render
the provisions of the proclamation barren
of result and aggregate the present state OF
things. The Conference will Fl I'd in the
Forte a sincere desire TO restore order and
establish loyal understanding with the
Powers"

Arabfs Threatened Attack.
ALEXANDER, August 3-3:45 P. Mp to
this hour Arab has failed to attack the
British troops, who were suddenly ordered
out at daylight this morning to proceed to
the front without a moments delay. 1t IS
next to impossible to ascertain with any
degree of certainty the time or intention OF
Arabi from the fact of every soldier except
those on the sick list was included in the
summons TO prepare for immediate action.
1t is inferred that Arab meditates an
attack in such numbers and such
severity as TO create feeling OF decided
alarm at Headquarters. Sir Archibald Ali
SOU says it 10 evident from the continued
arrival and departure OF mounted courlers
and the amount of activity displayed, that
an event of some magnitude IS on the eve
of occurrence.
