DISCOVERY OF ARMS IN A MOSQUE.  INROM MR " STANDARD " CORRISPOND ENT. 1  COWTANTTNOPLA, Tuesday.—A printed Proclamation from the Sultan to the Egyptian people hex appeared to-night. It declares Arabi Pacha a rebel for having disobeyed the orders' of the Khedive and of Dervish Pscha, the Imperial Commissioner, and thereby provoked the intervention of England : and states further that the dec.)ration conferred by the Sultan on Arabi was beat.med on him, at the instance of Dervish Pach a, In ono.equenee of bis (Arabi's) protestations of fidelity. The Promlamation concludes by exhorting the Egyptians to ob y the Khedive.  ifINAILIA, Tuesday —Arabi Paella is making constant efforts to induce the Beduin, to block the Canal by firing on veesels and to interfere with the railway and ttlegraphic communication. Hitherto his linemen has not been great, but the pies 14-applying Suez with water were cut yesterday. Fortunately the mischief Wee not serious.  All is quiet at the front. Here all the work is done methodically and well. An exceilet4 system of landing has been devised by Captain Brackenbury, of the Thalia, and Major Bartorium. Last night I was present when a detachment of 600 men, belonging to different regiments. were brought alongside, handed on the wharf in pitch darkness, and without a m ment's delay or hitch they were marched away to their eeveral destinations. The whole business was complete iin 10 minutes, a feat which speaks volumes for the excellence of the system adopted. ALtIANDBIA, Tuesday.—The quarantine upon ships coming from Bombay and Aden has been abolished. Everythin; is perfectly quiet to-day around Alexandria, except that the Egyptian working parties are, as usual, busy at their entrenchments. Arabi must at least have the credit of utilising to the utmost the pr..ctice which every Egyptian has from childhood in the use of the pick and spade at irrigation ditches and banks, and on the great dams of the Nile. I learn from a very trustworthy authority the following particulars with respect to the Egyptian forces around Alexandria. There are ten thousand men at Kale Dowar. under T. ulb Pacha, three thousand tnfantry and a thousand oavalry opposite to Fort Mika. under Ali Pacha Ruby, and three thousand infantry at Aboukir. All these are regulars. There are, in addition, large bodies of Bedouins, who roam between these positions, sunetimes gathering at one point, sometimes at another. 'the rep ,rt which has for the last twenty-four hours been in circulati..n, that arms, petroleum, and other i an3m able articles, and naboots, or native bludgeons, have been found in a mosque here, has been confirmed.  The discovery adds fmce to the claims which have been urged by many sufferers from the malicious destruction of property in Alexandria by the natives, that the Wads, or religious domains, whose value is estimated at many millions sterling, should form a guarai tee f, r a loon for the payment of compensation. Unquestionobly the Ulemas and religious bodies were to no slight extent responsible for the outbreak, and several have been proved to have incited the mob to plunder and fire. They have throughout given Arabi and the rebels their warmest support, and it would be well if their further power of mischief could be curtailed.  Rumour.- are in circulation to the effect that Arabi hroe flooded the country above Zagszig. The native implicated in the murder of two English• men on the 11th of June has been condemned to death by the tribunal, and will he executed on Thursday in the Arab quarters, where he will be left hanging for six hours, with a placard indicating the crime for which he has t een condemned.
