troops left was veritable pandemonium
There is a suspicion that the forts are un-
dermined and they will be carefully ex-
amined before any large body of troops are
allowed to enter them. Aboukir is as yet
untouched. A thousand men are known to
be entrenched there. No reconnaissance has
been made OF the Rosetta and Damietta
forts. Fugitives say that the losses of
Egyptian artiIlerymen during the first days
bombardment were very serious. The IN
fantIy did not suffer.
Ia the House of Commons, Mr.. Campbell
Bannermsn, Financial Secretary of the
War Office, read the instructions to Admiral
Seymour, which were as follows:
That as opposition of the forts had ceas-
ed he should not dismantle them or disable
the guns; that he should open friendly
communications with the Khedive, and in
the absence Of the native authorities from
Alexandria should land seamen or marines
for police purposes, and that he
should inform the foreign COM
manders of these measures. The
Admiral was instructed to invite the
Khedive to assert his authority in restoring
order. The landing OF British for police
purposes was to be In concert with the
Khedive or any native authorities in
Alexandria, and any of the European
men-of-war to be invited to co.
operate. Protests were made from
the conservative benches against the
feebleness Of these instructions.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to a question by
Mr.. Cowan, said the government had not
yet been informed where Arab Pasha was
Sir Stafford Northeote asked why the
government had not done something to pre-
vent the terrible events in Alexandria

ment could not have anticipated them.

linghuYsen says, In answer to INQUIRIES as
to the safety of the American officials and
countrymen at Alexandra, that we have
no Consul In that city, but that the Vice
Consul is resident Of position, being rich
lsraelite. One OF the members of the court
at Alexandria, Judge Bachelor, is in this
country on leave, and he understands that
the other two American Judges have gone
into the country. About a month ago one
vessel from the Mediterranean squadron
was sent to Alexandria for the
protection Of American residents, and as
the danger increased two other ships
were sent thither from the same squadron
about ten days since. Inquiry having been
made by the American Board OF Forsign
Missions, Secretary Frelinghuysen teie-
graphed the Vice Consul asking as to the
safety of the missionaries. He received an
answer to the effect that they were all either
on our vessels or had gone into the interior.
He trusts, therefore, that the American resi-
dents at Alexandria have suffered no harm
