ALEXANDRIA, July 22-There are
500 soldiers and as many Bedouins
in Zagazig. These have been joined
bv soldiers and Bedouins from Cairo,
and no doubt a general massacre has
begun. The news Of the massacre
of Europeans in various parts of
Egypt has excited great Indignation
here, and the delay in taking action
is bitterly commented upon. Arab
Pasha's proclamation has already
effected a great populace here.
Servile civility has been exchanged
for a sullen and insolent attitude.

learned that Arab Pasha's troops
are still further damaging the Suez
canal at Bardeh The Europeans
continue to land The streets are
fairly full of English, French, Ger
mans, Italians and Greeks. A bate

has been shipped without horses. No
horses can be obtained here and the
artillery which is much wanted will
be useless when it arrives.

six Europeans have been massacred
by order of Arab.

constitution, is traitor, and have
deposed him. They have also issued
n proclamation declaring war with
England, aud summoning all good
Mussulmen to fight against her.
There is with Arab Pasha a Swiss
adventurer named Ninet. 1t is no,
tOrious that he has done more thar
than anybody else to bring about
the recent disasters. When caught
he will be dealt with summarly. A

WAS elected FROM the French Consul
