| At that time the Khedive granted Arabi'
dem and, and the chamber Of delegate
was conToksd and the ministry wa
changed. It was then that Arab en-
tered the cabinet ss minister of war ant
marine, after which the disagreement be
tween the Khedive and Arab Pasha wa
removed. The chamber of delegates J
gan its work by examining thu PROPOSE
lions of the cabinet before it considered
the budget, and it was they tina. gave ris
To the report that the chamber wanted
10 interfere with the functions OF the con
suls. The report was denied by IN,
chamber. Arab Pasha desired TO senC
several of bis officers on duty at SOudsn
These officers did not want 80 90 t
oudan, and some twenty-eight of then
assent led together in order TO offer tC
Arab 8 petit n. Arab believed thai
these officers were about TO make an at
tempt sgsinst bis life, and had them put
IN prison. The court martial decided to
exile them to SOndAn. The sentence OF
the court martial was presented to the
KhediVe, who wished to commute il.
Arab and the cabinet opposed this, and
the relations between the Khedive and
his cabinet began to be strained. Finally
the Rhedive bAnished the Cireassian
officers to Constantinople. Is WAS il
reference TO this matter, which had no
international or important Specification,
that France and England began To send
their ships to Alexandra. The imperial
government several times had pointed
70 T,Onarc tho copSinO ~
fleets would aggravate the situation, and
perhaps trouble the tranquility of the
country. All Legitimate steps led to no
result. His Majesty the Sultan then sent
to Egypt the commission. of which Der
visch Pashs, Libeb Effendi and Sheik
Achmed Esssd we're members, for the
purpose of bringing about reconeilia-
lion between theKhedive and his cabinet.
Arab Pssha declared 10 the Turkish
commissioners that he only wanted the
maintenance of the rights IN Egypt of
His Majesty, the Sultan; tae continue
tiOu Of tue frmsns; the maintenance Of
the status quo, and the prevention Of all
abuses on the part of foreigners which DO
not form part Of International COZ
ventions. Three days after their
arrival in Egypt the commits
sioners succeeded in recOnciling the
two parties. But unfortunately the
presence Of the fest and the simple
dispute Of a Maltese and donkey bog
brought about the regretable events of
the Alexand ria riots. Every body agrees
that there was no pfemeditati0n on the
part Of the Egyptians; that the Arabs
fought with sticks and that the Egyptian
army, considered as a rebellio1s body
energetically acted 10 suppressinG the
massacre. It has also been proved that
among the Egyptian dead and wounded
many bore the marks Of bsyonet wounds.
As soon as the news Of the disorder
reached the KhediVe at Cairo, his high
ness, together with the commissioner Of
His Majesty, the Sultan, and the Egyp-
tian cabinet, fastened to Alexandra and
took the necessary steps TO re estsb-
lish order and TO arrest the guilty.
The KhediVe conyoked a tribunal to
Judge their implications in the disorders
but the copsuls Of France aud England
having refused to be represented on the
the other cOnsuls were also
obliged to follow the same line Of con-
duc!. This refusal cannot be explained
unless by nlGuUGiSe UOtOnte. Arab
Pasha, officially declared that he would
submit To the orders of His Majesty, the
3ultsn aud HIS Highness the
K he6ive; and ell the notsbles, the
chiefs Of the tribes aud Uemas, bnd
The doctors of the religion, declared they
would submit to orders Of the Khedive.
In the meantime the Khedive intrusted
Rsgheb Pasha with the task of forming
new ministry. The President of the
council announced in his programme the
of the sovereignty of his
Majesty, toe Sultsn.of the frmans. of the
ytGtuS quo and ofIhe International obli-
cations. 10 this programme full amnesty
bad been granted to eli persons eKcep
hose who had been implicated
in the affair OF Alexandria. Al
though necessary measures had been
AIKEN 10 maintain public order
md although Arab Pasha had declared
lo Was ready to obey the orders OF his
NJ sic ,ty the Sultan aud of his Highness
.he Khedive, foreigners had commenced
TO cult and continued TO quit the country
The consuls VIII understood the efforts
)f the KhediVe and the cabinet to pre-
serve order, were unable to prevent this
emigration and it is even believed they
aided it and recent events strengthen this
4lief.
When ell was over and the army bad
submitted, Admiral Seymour assumed
sttilude. At FIRST he insisted
hat the forlifcAtions were being repaired
Fhe Khedive declared that although
Epglsnd made military prepare
len in England and even
"a board ships Of war in Alexandra
nnrbor. the Egyptian government ana
,rmv. who only desired TO maintain the
,tGtNS quo, made no preparations what.
aver. After this assurance Admiral
SEYMOUR returned to the same theory,
hat is to say, be declared that unless the.
ceased within tWenty-four
nours. he would open fire on the forts.
The Khedive and cabinet again reiterated
heir declaration, and proposed toAdmIral
SEYMOUR that they should go together
,ver the Notifications IN order to prove
hat no preps rations we're being made.
The admirsl refused, aud after twenty
four hours had elapsed sent az ultimatum
IN which he required that the foHlnca-
ions should be dismRntled aac surren-
1ered to him within twenty four hours
The KheIiYe fastened to show thas ne
could not aceede to this iuVltstIen Tor ns
did not understand the motive for II, ana
that admiral, four hours before the ex-
piration Of the delay fixed by himself
Irsmping under foot the principle Of IN
dividual rights, began the lombard
ment. There Is even another fAct
which Is most remarkable. Not only
did tina English and French rstuse 70
send delegates to the tribunal in order 70
Judge the persons implicated In the Alex
sndria riot, but during the bOnbsrdment
