Pru.sia'. Attitude.
CoNsrASTiNopLE Turkey, July 3O.-The
special steamer does not bring instructions TO
the Russian representative as expected. 1t Is
believed here that Russia considers that the
mediation Of England and Turkey might re
suit in the conclusion of an alliance which
Russia is anxious to prevent. Doubts are
still cxpr, s;cd as to the actual departure OF a
Turkish expedition to Egypt. The Poret has
requested Lord Dufferin to explain the en-

The Ministry FINALLY. Denounce Arab
ns "a Rebel.
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, July 3l.-The irrta-
tation which the Khedive naturally felt at
the revelations made to him respecting Rag
hab Pacha's clandestine proclamation, has
compelled the prime minister and his trcach-
erous colleagues TO abandon their course of
double dealing and cast in their lot with the
khed,ve. Sunday they took the decisive
step by issuing an official proclamation, which
though long -winded and ambiguous yet de.
nounccs Arab Pacha as rebel in accord
with Admiral Seymour's suggestion TO the
Khedivc. This, though, a step in the right
direction, would have been more satisfactory
had the khedive dismissed these creatures OF
Arab altogether and surrounded himself by
a body of loyal men.

that the neutrality of the Suez Canal will not
be violated by the Egyptians If it Is respect
cd by the Europeans.

ample reason for believing that the expcdi-
ton it has now determined to send to Egypt
has no other object than to thwart and OPP
pose the efforts we are making to restore
order there Cooperation might be accepted
If the Turks should send u moderate contin-
gent to act under the orders of the British
commander The obvious design of Turkey
is to exclude England altogether, and to
maintain that we have no right in Egypt.
1t is therefore mere triflng to continue nego-
tiations for the purpose OF getting such
worthless pledges of good faith as the proc
lamaton against Arab Pacha.
