Earl Granville, and demanded that the
order for the bombardment OF Alexan.
dria be countermanded. Earl Granville
replied that circumstances compelled the
British government to take decisive
action, aud chat its decision could not be
revoked. We do not hesitate to cay that
the effect of England's determination
has been to produce the most favorable
impression both on the public opinion
and judgment of European statesmen.
The representatives of three powers have
already expressed satisfaction at the gov
ernments action. There is, therefore,
no ground whatever for the assertion that
the action OF England is judged by Eu-

Franco did not desire to emerge from
European concert. The correspondent
adds that it is at least three weeks since
England proposed to France to Join in
the occupation of the Suez canal, but as
France raised objections England gave
up the idea Of French corporation in
that direction, and turned her attention

telegram company, from Alexandria, sent
at 9.25 this evening, says the vessels of

lope aud all the sunboats are in the outer
harbor. It Is supposed that this arrange
ment Of vessels has been made in order
that they may be in readiness to shell
the forts commanding the town to-
morrow in the event Of the failure of
negotiations. 1t is supposed that the
Egyptian troops have evacuated the
town, as the fires tonight are assuming
large proportions. The town is reported
to be almost empty, and It is believed
has been left to the low Arabs, possibly
to the Redoums, to plrnder at will. At
sunset the white Gag was still flying.
Private advices indicate that the 'Snez
canal will be reopened to traffic on the
14th instant. A dispatch dated 9.25 p.

chored of Ramleh palace, to which the
Khediye moved his family previous TO
the bombardment. Signals are now
being made to tue feet from the Chilean

ness Of the night makes the confsgration
in Alexandria appear verv vivid. It Ii
supposed that the town is being reduced
to ashes wilfully.
