The Khedive has decided to Siitrust
Cherif Pasha- with the Presidency -of -the-

Generals Willis and Grahamand the
Duke of Connaught have -gone to Aboukir.
Of the whole fleet the iron clads Invinci-
ble and Inconstant alone remain.
The 49th, 75th and 79th regiment; at
Ramleh, will probably support the move-
ment -al Aboukir -by an attack on the left
flank of the enemy. a
The German gunboat, Habicht, the
Russian man.of.war, Eriklik, and several
other foreign vessels are preparing to put to
Bea.
It is rumored that Arabi's entrenchments
will be attacked on Monday morning at 6
o'clock.
The second battalion hf the Highland
Light Infantry and the first battalion
. of the Irish Fusiliers have landed. They
proceeded to Ramleh 'to , join Alison's
division.
The occupying force numbers 6,252.- The
Egyptian soldiers were disarmed -without
resistance. Tbe canal has been closed to
merchant vessels and the dredges in it
have been seized.
The bombardment of the Ghenaileh forti-
fications will probably take. place to -day.

terday to take, the place of the corvette

to Massowah to protect the French sub.

maline entered the canal this morning with
the gunboat Dee, cleared for action. -
The Khedive watched the skirmish yes-
terday with a field glass front the...top of a
hill -within the range of Arabi's guns.', The
reconnaissance proves the excellence of
Arabi's earthwork, and the accuracy of his
artillery, which is nearly equal to that of
the English. His Musketry. practice is
wretched. It is reported that Arabi is
making the whole population work at the
earthworks, and declares liafr-el-Dwita
will be another Plevna.
At 8 p. m. the ironclads Inflexible, Tem-
eraire, Superb, Agincourt, Monarch, Pene-
lope, two gunboats' and twelve troopships
are still lying in the harbor, the _marines
and sailors are occupying the town, and the
fleet is about to enter tee canal. .
In the -skirmish yesterday-the'Egyptiane
fired shrapnel shells ineffectually at the
outpost of the 46th Infantry, occupying
temporary entrenchments. The Egyptian
Infantry then advanced with Bell yards,
i3onaitig from Kafr-el-Dwar. Some cavalry
also appeared from the direction of Abou-
kir. The Egyptian lines were meet irregu-
lar. Some, of the men were •apparently
unarmed. The cavalry ' were also
confuserY from the restlessness - of
their eflaoribe. About 5 o'clock the
British iron clad train sent out 6, oar with
a forty pounder, which Was detached and
sent 40 yards in advance of the engine, and
fired two shelle upon the Egyptians who

A Tribune's London despatch -say e that
Arabia position is immeneely strong and
must be turned. Military men are not
without fear that Wolseley is acting in te0
great hastato dauble up Arabi before the
Indian troops can co-operate. It May be
a ,pohtical necessity, ;A secoessful 'blow
may prevent Turkieh intervention' ef any
kind. If Wolseleyse first stroke fails it will
only consolidate Arabi's cause and provoke'
a great Mohammedan rising. His unex-
pectedly early action is perhaps caused by
• the danger of the, rising_of the Nile, which
-would jeopardize a turtling movement
from Aboukir, or "Rosetta.

Two French gunboats entered the canal
to -day. They are said to be bound for
Ismailia.
A special Cabinet Council was held tea
day at which Assym Pasha Was present. It
Is understood that the Porte is willing to
modify the Turkish draft for the military
convention by the addition of the following
three daises : First, an English general
shall be attached to the Turkish camp to
facilitate the interchauge of conanauniea-
Mona between the Turks and the British.
Second, the manceuvres of the English and
Turkish forces shall be mutually carried
out in such a manner as to avoid the inter
ference of one with the other. Third a
date shall be fixed for the evacuation of
Egypt by the English forces. It is -believed
that England also has consented to oerteln
naodifications in her draft for the conven-
tion, and an understanding between the
• two Goveiniffefitais therefore regarded ae
probable. . . .
It is eaid; that Assym Pasha has prepared
a draft for the convention embodying Mu-
tual concessions by England. and Turkey.
The new project is to be eulamitted to
Granville and afterwards to the Sultan .for
ratification. It is thought probable ,that
the Conference will meet again on Monday.
The Italian Ambassador obtained the
signature of the ambassadors to the protocol
relating to the internatioeid protection -Of
the Suez Canal. Lord Dufferin, in signing
it; reiterated the previous reservation as to
the force of the majeure clause, which pro-
vides for non-interference by the internati-
onal police with military operations. .A
commission of naval officers of all statee
concerned will meet at Port Said to superin-
tend the measures neceseary for the Protect -
tion of the canal.
General Wood and staff made ,
reconneisance from the outposts at Ramleh
to -day without any intention of engaging in
serious military operations. ,a'iriThen near.
Arabi's hiitposte the enemy sent a steady
shower of rifle bullets accompained by
rockets and shells amongst the raen from
batteries masked by trees. The iron clad
train proceeded to Mahatla JUncton and
tpened fire from a forty pounder, pitching
our shots into the enemy's quarteas. It is
reported that four English soldiers, were
wounded during the afternoon. .
It is officially stated that the destination
of the fleet is Ismailia.
The reconnaissance made this afternoon
seems to ahow that the enemy's artillery
and infantry have been weakened since yes-
terd ay,but their big guns are etill in position.
Within the last few daye one of Arabi's
officers visited Fort Maks and'peoposed to
surrender With a large body of men.He
promised to return. on Monday and make
known the decision of the men, whether or
not they would accept the terms offered. It
is believed that this proposition Of the
officer is only a ruse.

be covered with turbans and tinged with
blood, and '10,000 men perished there at
Aboukir, either by the . bayonet or .the
equally inexorable see,. The remainder. of
Mustapha Pasha's force surrendered.

French General escaped from Alexandria,
evaded .,,the English cruisers which had
gone to Cyprus, where he was not, and
'arrived safely in the -Gulf of Fieyjes, in

Communists of 1871 against thaVersailles
troops under Marshal MacMehon, the latter
sent " ouirassed trains" along one side of
the city, which opened fire upon the.
enemy's works 'with considerable effect.
Shortly after the - railway through

Government, wishing fo punigh the bri-
