crowds of people we're seen vending
their way towards the palace The
streets are now deserted, the people
having fed or taken refuge In cellars.
A telegram from the Eastern tele-
graph company, steamer Chiltern, sent
at ILLS this morning, says the bonn
bardment still continues, and the forts
are gradually being sllenced. The Ras
Ell Tin forts are suffering severely from
the heavy fire of the ships Alexandria,
Superb and Temeraire.
A dispatch to Lloyds from Port Said
states that the British consul there, by
order of Admiral Seymour, has stopped
ships from entering the Suez canal.
Admiral Seymour telegraphed as fol-
lows: The ships opened fire at 7 O'Clock

forts was weak and ineffective. The
explosion in Fort Marsa Ell Karat had
occurred by = O'Clock. The ships en-
gagged are ~Infiexible, Temeraire, Pene-
lope, Superb, Sultan, Invinclble, Alex

is a violation to its neutrality, and
declared that the comp any will hold
the British government responsible.
The whole stan of the canal will remain
at their posts.

patch received from Alexandria says
that the magazine at Fort Ada has
been blown up. 1t was located close
to the vice regal palace outside the
harbor.
Alexandria, July 11.-Shortly after
noon all the exposed guns In the forts
were dismounted and only those In a
sheltered position we're able to return
the British fire. Fort Marsa Ell Karat

BILE was hit five times.
Admiral Seymour commences an
an attack on Fort Gubarrie and hsrbor
forts In the morning. The small effect
of 81 ton and other guns on earth
works caused disappointment. The
second battalion of tho Irish regiment
has been ordered to proceed to Egypt
within "a hours.
London, July lin the house of
lords this afternoon Granville said the
bombardment at Alexandria does not
constitute the declaration of war
against allied powers. The govern
ment is not in alliance with the military
despotism, now the defacto ruler of
Egypt.

evening Lord Northbrook read a
telegram which had just been received
stating that all forts have been silenced
except one or two inside the harbor.

London. July 1.-THE daily News
h as the following: Alexandria, July
ll.-Arabi Pasha again declared that
he would not yield. A perfect panic
prevails among the Arabs. American,
Austrian, Russian and Italian men of
war are anchored two miles outside the
breakwater. Admiral Seymour has
deputed an officer to supervise all
kilograms. The Turkish minister has
officially informed Defreycinct that
Turkey will not send troops to Egypt.
A London dispatch says public opinion
favors the seizure Of Egypt by England,
although this intention Is not openly
advocated, and the bombardment Of
Alexandria may therefore be recorded
as merely the first step to military
occupation, which is extended separate
from the government Of the sultan,
turning 1t into an English province.
