Natidani Aisociated Pross BRITISH TROOPS LAN ALEXaNDRIA, July 12.—Tho bom- bardment was not renewed at 7:10 a. m There are as yet no signs of the renewal of the bombardment. The iconclads have not yet entered the in- nor harbor. The “sca is very rough and the weather is very fogay. Noon, - The British fleet has been in position and_ for some time a gen- cral fire upon the forts has been going on. now replying to the English five, The batteries seem to be all perfectly silenced. 12:05 . M—A picked party of marines from the Tnvineible has just been landed, They met with no op- position, They went directly to Fort Meks and there burst thice guns and spiked three more. 12:20 p. M. —The marines are still on shore_and are at work around Fort Meks. No signs of a land fight have yet been shown. The Invincible has the marines well covered, and should the Egyptians attack them a terrible slaughter will ensue. A FLAG OF TRUCE. 2 —A flag of truce has iult ‘been’ yover Alexandria. It has been recognized by Admiral Seymour, and a flag has been hoisted in reply. In answer to the admiral’s signal a vessel under truce is _approaching the admiral’s ship f®m the city. THE CANAL QUESTION. All flags of the fleet are at half mast, All Eoglish marioes killed during the bombardment were buried ceremoni- ously in the sea The closing of the Suez canal is as suming serious importance. Not a vessel has passed for two days now. THE SULTAN'S REQUEST. ConstanTINoPLE, July 12, tan informed Lord Dufferin to-day that Muguras Pasha, Turkish ambas- sador to England, reports that whoen he preseated the sultan’s request that England stop the bombardment, Earl Granville replied that England could not now stop, and shat England folt compelled to continue o long as the eastern question continued in its present ussettled state, The sultan’s statement to Lord Dufferin is causing suzpicion that he is securing from England oflicial statements for some ulterior purpose. D, The sul- GLADSTONE'S STATEMENT, Lo~pox, «July 12,—In the house cf commonus, Gladstore, replying to in- quiries as to the exact attitude Eng- land is placed in towards other pow- ers by Seymour's action, officially de nied on hehalt of the government that England had begun the war with Egypt; that the bowbadwment of Alexandria was undertaicen solely for the protection of the British fleet within the barbor, and to suppress the military tyranny existing in Alexan- dria, and which not ouly was oppress- ing the people and menacing the fleet, but which existed in defiance of the sultan’s wishes, Glad- slone averred Seymour's conduct, consistent with periect concert be- tween the powers and E gland. THE CITY FIKED, ALEXANDRIA, July 12.—6 p. m.— Soveral lurge fires are hurning in va- rious parts of the city, all of which started apparently simultaneously, A flag of truce can still be scen fying, but it is feared that Arabi Bey's followers mean to destroy the city by fire. A BLAZE IN PARIS, Pans, July 12.—A terrible fire is | raging, causad by a gas explosion, just vow. Twelve houses have already been destroyed, and twenty persons killed have been found under the ruins. Scores of people have been wounded, THE FLEET AND THE WHIPPED, Loxpoy, July 12.—The latest from Alexandria says that the gunboat sent from the forts with a flag of fruce has returned from Seymour's flag ship. The fleet is under way, the conse- quence of rising wind and heavy swell. The queen telegraphed in- quiries as to the coudition of the wounded, A dispatch from Berlin says it is Not an Alexandrian battery is. OMAHA, reported there that Arabi Bay is en- listing troops by the thoussnds, THE BURNING OTTY, AvexaspriA, July 13, 1 &, m, —<The fires in the city are increasing in fierceness and extent.. They are sup posed to be incendiary and not dae to the firing of the fleet. No _shot ‘was sent into the town to-day. If the truce fails, general cannonade will be re sumed this morning, Anarchy pre- vails among the Egyptian soldiery. The English gunboat sent to ascer- tain the meaning of the white flag has roturned. Tho Egyptians refused to surrender. The European quarter is burned, hundreds have been killed in the streots and two thousand were killed in the forts during the bom bardment, The fleet has entire'y suspended action, There is evidently no government to deal with, The city is given over to anarchy and pillage. THE TOWN. WHAT REMAINS OF A CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Ohicago Teitune. Modern Alexandria occupies only part of tho site of its predecessor, be- ing chiefly built on the isthmus that connects what was once the classic island of Pharos with the mainland, on which the old city scood, Succes sive alluvial deposits have widened this mole—the ancient Heptastadium —into a broad neck of land, the sea- ward end of which is occupied by the palace of Ras-el-Teen, the arsenal, and several other government buildings, after which, mainlandward, comes the modern town East and west of this peninsula is the two harbors, called THE NEW AND OLD POKTS, The former of these, being completely exposed to the north winds and in- cumbered with rocks and shoals, has long been disused except by small na- tive craft, though it was not till the beginning of the present century that the much larger and safer western harbor was thrown open to Christian vessels, This latter is situated at the northeast end of the bay, adjoining the southern and western sidee of the city in a neatly semi-circular form, and extending from the palace of Ras- el-Teen, by the arsenal dock, to the terminus of the Cairo railway at Gabari. THE OLD LIGHTHOUSE stilt ocoupies the site of the ancient Pharos, on a rocky projection stretch- ing northeast into the entrance of the new port, but in 1842, after the opening of the old harbor to Chris- tian shijping, its distance from the latter and the lowness of its light in- duced Mehemet Ali to build a new tower on Eunostus (now called Ras-el- Teen) Point, at the southwesiern ex tremity of the penivsula, whence a 20 second revolviag lighs of the first clage, since erected by the khedive, flashes its friendly warning twenty miles out at sea. Nearly a mile be- hind this stands THE VICEREGAL PALACE, built by Mehemet Ali, to whose ambi- tion is also due the fine arsenal that forms the next principal object of in- terest between the peninsula and the modern town. The development of this last has been mainly twards, towardy the Ramich . ilwey statae, ). which only seven years ago lay far outside the city, but is now connected with it by fine rows of boulevard like houses, let out in shops below and flats above, at rents little below the average of similar buildings in Paris. In “thie direction, too, an admirable road along the Mahmoudieh canal at tracts on Fridays and other fete days crowds of private carriages, many of which might figure in the Bois or Hyde Park. Of the whole city, in- deed, it may be said that, although STILL ‘‘PIEBALD,” as Eliot Warburton found it a quarter of a century ago -*‘one-half Europe, with its regular houses, tall and white, and stiff; the other half Oriental, with its mud-colored buildings and terraced roofs, varied with fat mosques and lean minarets”-~the municipal im- provements effecied by he khedive have in respect .0 licit g, paving, police, and ol /i ess used the large Frank quarter c:pecialiy to a lavel with most first-class French and Eag- lish towns, and placed it half a century ahead of even the Christian faubourg of Constantinople. THE HARBOR. OF THE THEATER WAR, The modern harbor of Alexandria, in which the trade of the port is now carried on, lics within the upper curve of a bay formed by the two pro jecting headlands of Ras-vl.Teen on the northeast and Cipe Adjemi and Marabout Island on the southwest, and mensuring six miles in length by an average of two in breadth, Tt is laudlocked on every side except one — the southwest, The wind from this direction is, however, the prevailing one during eight or nine months of the year, and from time immemorial the “‘sea” thus occasioned has seri- ously impeded the loading and dis- els in the ro.dstead by a8 the custom has hith- erto been, he importance of reme- dying this great drawback on the con- veuiencs of his chief port has long been felt by the khedive, but it was not till the threatened rivalry of the Suez canal had emphasized the ueces- sity that he finally decided on carry- ing out a work of such magnitude and cost Accordingly, in 1870, a con- trast was entered into with Messrs. Greenleaf & Co., an eminent English firm, for the construction of DESCRIPTION or A GREAT BREAKWATEK, an inner harbor mole and a line of quays, which should together afford the requisite shelter and accommoda- tion need by the growing trade of the the port, After some mouths spent in the necessary preparations the work was begun in the spring of 1871, when the khedive in person laid the foundation stone. Since then the original plan has been considerably modified, but it will be sufficient to mention its ultimate lines as now in great part carried out.
