GENERAL NEWS FROM ALL QUARTERS.

ALEXANDRIA, July 1s.-Last night was
quiet. The lines are now very strongly
guarded and the fires nearly all extin-
guished. The police arrangements are
thoroughly effective. ...
A correspondent has opened communica-
ton with the camp of Arabi Pacha, which
his informant says consists of little over
six thousand men, who are intensely dis
contented and surrounded by starving wo-
men and children. Recruits of the lowest
class are still being entered by Arab, with
promises of unlimited plunder, and the
force is held together by the assertion that
the English will kill all returning to the
city. t-. -. -.-.....,,L

CempIimenting Our Blue Jackets.
LONDON, July lS.-A leading editorial ar
ticle in the morning Post say ,: The behav-
ior of the American Admira; and his men
at Alexandria is beyond all praise. Amid
the diplomatic protest of European con-
certs and conferences, and naval demonstra-
tions of imbeeility it is refreshing TO find
a commander who is able and willing on
his own account, to say what he thinks
and do what he says. The sixty marines,
physically speaking, could not do mnch,
but there is a way OF giving support
which quadruples its value. The conduct
of the A AmericGns during the night alarm
that Arab Pasha was coming, contrasts re-
markably with that of the French and
Italians.
The French and English Agreement.
LONDON, July lS.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says: The idea OF the re-
newal of the close cooperation Of France
with England has now forced itself upon
France and the government. Cabinet
council has adopted a resolution to this
effect. A resolution conditional on three
things, namely: Turkeys reply to the
identical note of the Powers inviting the
Porte to send troops to Egypt; the decision
of the conference, and the sanction OF Par
lament. Subjectto these conditions the
two governments now entirely agreed in
regard TO the terms upon which their
forces will undertake to restore order in
Egypt.
ALEXANDRIA, July 1S.-Arabi Pasha is
still issuing orders and making appoint
ments in the Khedive's name. Arabi's
forces on the canal is estimated at 10000,
including the Bedouins who gave their ad-
hesin to Arab four days ago. The wound
ed Arabs from Alexandria were sent TO
Cairo. The sight of plunder selling in the
Bazaars stimulated the Cairenese to Initiate
the AleXandrians.
The last Englishman who left Cairo and
arrived at Suez, describes the people as
wild and threatening. He thinks the
European portion OF the city " ii be burned.
Grant on the Eastern Situation.
PHILADELPHIA, July lS.-General Grant
has been giving his opinion upon the East
ern question to a reporter OF the RECORD.
He sides with England, and says the peo-
pie of Egypt are ten times worse off than
The negroes of the South. He believes an
English protectorate would help develop
the resources OF the country and improve
the condition of the people.
