able magnitude are visible to, day in the real

cavalry and troopship, Orontes, with Cameron
hlghlanders and a battalion of the Darbyshirt
regiment have arrived.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 1.-The Mussul.
man jurists, whom the sultan frequently
consults, explain that Arab Pasha in
so far as he is described by the
caliph is rebel and may be unceremoniously
treated as such, but in so far as he has been
the defender OF Mohammedan country against
the aggressive designs of Christians, he has
merely fulfilled the duties of good Mussul-
man, and consequently the caliph cannot
make common cause with England.
The sultan may punish Arab Pasha,
if some act of rebellion s proved against him !,
but he must not associate himself with thos G
who wish to crush Arab Pasha as G defender
OF Islam. A correspondent says this will
greatly influence Turkish military action.

ALTOGETHER IMPROBABLE.

letter from an ex-Offlcer of the confederate
army that cavalry expedition was being Or
ganized in the Southern states 10 aid Arab,
and requesting him to join the expedition. It
is expected to start for Egypt in a few days.
ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 14.-Last evening some
shots were exchanged and several prisoners
captured near the canal. Lake Marcatis, near
Nillaha junction, is fast drying up. People
are thus enabled to go to and from Kafr el
Dwar, beyond the reach Of guns of the out
posts. A captain in the Egyptian army, sup
posed to be the bearer of dispatches to Arab
Pasha, was captured at suez. A number of
Arabi documents, supposed to be
Bittern returned from her mission
to Jaffa. Some shieks in the vicinity of Jeru-
salem were arrested. There is much excite.
ment at Port Said. An outbreak is thought
possible at any moment. The ships are made
ready for action and 100 rounds of ammunition
served, nightly. The steamship Palmyra
arrived with sixteen-pound battery. A man

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Aug. 14.-The Trade
declaring Arabi Pasha rebel and authorizing
an Anglo-Turkish military convention is not
yetslgned. The conference met at the resi-
dence OF Said Pasha to-day and discussed the
question OF the protection of the Suez canal
but no decision was reached. 1t is believed
the resolutions of the conference in relation to
this matter have no immediate important bear
ing on the situation. 1t is understood the ma
iority of the ambassadors are in favor of bring
ing the conference to a close or adjouruing its
sictings.
Arabi Pasha has already been acquainted
with the terms OF the proclamation declaring
him rebel. He has been informed the sultan
would grant him free pardon should he make
his submission, but If he refuse strong meas
ures will be taken to enforce his obedience. II
is understood divergence of views exists
between the porte and Lord Dufferin
respecting tbs wording of the proclamation
against Arabi Pasha. Lord Dufferin issues
plain and simple proclamation in Turkish
and Arabic that Arab Pasha is not a chief,
but an ambitious and lawless adventurer.
England insists upon commanding thu Turk
ishtroops. The question is to ba brou .ht
before the conference.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-The session of the con-
ference to-day was exclusively occupied with
consideration OF the proposal of the Italian
ambassador for collective police supervision
of the suez canal. which was finally agreed to
as temporary measure, with modification
submitted by the British ambassador, per-
mltting the landing of troops. The propo-
sition was then embodied in the protocol.
Turkeys objecti Oh to the military convention
was not brought forward by Said Pasha. Two
Egyptians arrested to-day prove to be secret
agents OF the khedive. 1t is understood the
porte is endeavoring to use the delay in issu-
ing proclamation against ARABIA Pasha as a
lever to obtain easier terms with respect to
The military convention.
ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 14.-Reinforcements
were sent to Fort Meks, as it is expected the
enemy will attempt to surprise the fort. A
Frenchman representing himself as a special
correspondent of the Lanterne, Paris, and
who received pass Saturday to enable him
togo about freely inside the town, was arrest
ed to-day by parties of videttes while pro.
