Arabl Pasha Informed the men who partici
pated in that fight that there were only two
British regiments at the front, and there was
plenty of time to drive Christians into the
sea. The officer thinks Arsbl's army is de-
moralized. He says the Egyptian generals
invariably place the irregulars in front in or
aer that the regulars may fire upon them if
they show cOwardice. This statement is
confirmed by what has been seen and by the
fact that almost all prisoners in the hands of
the British are irreguiarsI The Egyptians
had an advanced post between Kassassn and
Tel el Kebir, but 1t was stated IN camp to-day
that sheir troops. had been withdrawn by

AN INTERVIEW WITH DE LESsEPs.
PARIS, Sept. 2.-De Lesseps, who just ar.
rived here. in an interview or Egyptian affairs,
said that the first fact that should be known
regarding the Egyptian matter, is that the
moYem ent is national one. He was con.
vinced that Arab has the nation at his back.
His force at present is between $4,000 and
$4,000 Arabs: he has arms for 100000 and
when he needs men he can get them. De.
Lesseps had every reason TO be satisfied with
the manner in which Arabi behaved toward
the canal. The English had no need of the
canal for their operations. The Arabs had
not placed price on his head, on the con-
trary after the English had landed at Suez he
had received letter from Arab. saying it
was not his fault and giving him notice
that the Sweetwater canal would
be cut. The English sailors had behaved very
bad. firing right and left in the streets and
killing many Arab women and children, and
one of De Lessp's own employees. The English
army was very well organized. He thinks the
war will be long one and its final result can.
| not yet be forecast. No serious operations
could be undertaken until the hot weather
and overflow of the Nile was at an end in Oc.
tober. 1t is not true that Arab had mutilat-
ed the English dead and wounded. He had
heard of that from officers in Egypt.
England had been long intending to
get her finger iato Egypt on
one preteXs or another. The whole
trouble had been caused by an intrigue of
Malet, and for the purpose of affording
England this opportunity. He had not seen
anv of the actual fighting, but there had been
many more killed and wounded among the
British than reported. There we're also many
cases OF sunstroke, aud some cholera, too.
When he had been in Egypt before the trouble
began he had found some opposition to Arabi
among the becou.n chiefs, but now he be-
lieved they were all for Arabi Il Arab was
