ARAB! DECLARED A REBEL. DISCOVERY OF ARMS IN A MOSQUE  [FROM THE "STANDARD" C •RRESPONCYNT.]  CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday. —A priuted Proclamati, n from the Sultan to the Egyptian people has appeared to-night. It declares Arabi Pacha a rebel for having disobeyed the orders of the Khedive and of Dervi4ll P,cha, the Imperial Commiesioner, and thereby provoked the intervention of England ; and states further th,t the dee ration conferred by the Sultan on Arabi was boat, ,wed on him, at the instance (.f Dervish Paella, in consequence of his (Arabia) proto,•tations of fidelity. Th ?I', oclamAtion concludes by exhorting the Egyptians to ob-y the Khedive.  IRMAILI 'Neel lay .—Arabi Pacha is making constant f-fforts to induce the Bed. uins ti Mock the Canal by firing on vcssels and to interfere with the railway and telegraphic corumuLicat ion. litti.erto his success fins not been great, but the pines supplying Suez with water were cut yesteiday. Fortunately the mischief was nil sedans.  All is quiet at the front. Here all the work is done methodically and well. Au excellent system of landi g has been devised by Captain Brackenbury, of the Thalia, and Major t•tartorius. Last night I was present when a detachment of 600 men, belonging to different regiments, were brolght alongside, landed on the wharf M pitch darkness, and without a m..maut's delay or hitch they were marched away to their several de4inations. The whole business was completed in 10 minutes, a feat which speaks volumes for the excellence of the system adopted. A Li. X A NUBIA, Tuesday.—The quarantine upon ships coming from Bombay an.l Aden has been abolished. Everything is cerfectly quiet to-day around Alexandria, except that the Egyptian working parties are, as usual, busy at their entrei.chments. Arabi must at least have the credit of utilisiLg to the utmo,t the pr,ctice which every Egyi tian has from childhood in the U4O of the pick and aped() at irrigation ditches and banka. and on the great dams of the Nile. . . .  I learn from a ver y trustworthy authority the following particulars with respect to the Egyptian forces around Alexandria. There ere Ufa thousand men at Kafr Dower. under Toulb Pacha, three thousand nfauti y and a thousand cavalry opposite to Fort Metro, under All 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, aometimes gathering at one pint, sometimes at another. be report which has for the last twenty-four hours been in circulation, that arms, petroleum, and other infh.mmable articles, and nahoots, or native bludgeons, have been found in a mosque here, has been confirmed.  The discovery adds force 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 domaine, whose value is estimated at many millions sterling, should form a ^uarat tee f. r a loan for the payment of compensation. Unquestion ably the Ulemas and religious bodies were to no slight extent responsible for the outbreak, and several have been proved tc have incited the mob to plunder and fire. They have throughout given Arabi and the ret )18 their warmest support, and it would be well if their further power of mischief could be curtailed. Rumours are in circulation to the effect that Arabi has flooded the country above Zagazig. The native implicated in the murder of two Englishmen on the 11th of June has been condemned to death by the tribunal, and will be 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 tern condemned.
