Bannerman stated the gov ernment’s latest advices o Seymour were to stop hostilities and endeavor to open friendly intercourse with' the khedive, to invite him to take steps for restoration of his authority and order in Egypt, The yovernment had also instructed Admiral Seymour to land @ force to act as police to pre- serve peace and order, and will invite the co-operation of Europeanjxhips at toe present time in Alexandria harbor. Gladstone affirmed the accuracy of Bannerman’s statements, He ex- plained that the government’s instruc- tion to Seymour did not prevent the landing of an army wheuever neces- sary. NO REMONSTRANCE, In the house of commons this after- noon Dilke stated that none of the powers had remonstrated against the bombardment of Alexandria. THE KHEDIVE AND DERVISCH, ALEXANDERIA, July 13, 6 p. m —Tt is stated that the Khedive is at Ram- leh palace under survelleance of Egypuan troops. His condition is critical. 8 p. m.—The hiding place of the Khedive and Dervisch Pasha has just been discovered. Both were found safe, and are now on one of the Brit- ish ehips. Later information discloses the fact that the Khedive and Dervisch Pasha wore not found by any of the search- ber; the Greeks—the financiers and { money londers of BEgypt—about 30,. 000 in number; the Sy Christians, (and the Europeans. The Syrian Christians aro money-lenders, and of them Mr, Wolf says: “Their true position of power is as clerks and in- torpreters to the European o foials, of whom very few can speak Arabio, [t with intelligence, and serving the |t speculators on the stock exchange by spreading sensational reports, The European community,” he says, “may | n be roughly divided as follows: Itali- (1 500. The Europeans are, rpeaking geuverally, violont opponents of the national party. The French are, al- most without exception, speculators in Bgyptian stocks, and liwy complain of the revolution as having caused |t them financial losses. t THE ENOLISH 1 for the last seven years have caloula tod ou Egypt as theie political hori- tage, and are undisguisedly disap. pointed at the movement which scems to put off their day of poss.asion, The Italians are divided, many of them siding with the nationalists, partly out of jealouely of Krance and England, partly from an honorable love of liberty. The rer Italians, Jike the Maltese, have faostly learned Arabic, and sympathize with the peo- ple. The Americans, Belgians and Swiss —no inconsiderable colony have from the firet accepted the na- tional movement asgenuine end given it their support. The Englisk are, perhaps, at the present momon, the most actively hostile section of the European community, and form a real danger to Egypt fiom the countenance they are giving to the Circassians, with whom alone among the natives they live on intimate terms.” In Mr, Woll's opinion, ARABI PASHA * in an honest, and, certainly from an Egyptian standpoint, a highly edu- cated and incelligent man, He fully a preciates his position. Says Mr Wolf: ‘““Ho haa caloulated the cost, and not shrink from the rosponsi- bility. He knows all about the United Stats, its history and struzgles, and told me repeatedly that his desiro was to have a constivutional form of gov- ernment. When I presented him with a copy of the biography of Gar tield in Krench he at once siid he wonld have it translated into Avabic, 80 that the youth of Egypt could profit by it. At my suggestion he ordered the translation of the|c coostitution of the United States into Arabic. He is uo favatic, but is a patriot, and therefore resorts to many experiments and devioes not exactly in consonance with the views of for- ing parties.

SIMUN WOLF, FORMERLY UNITED STATES CONSUL-GENEEAL IN EGYPT, The views of Mr. Simon Wolf, re- cently Uunited States consul-general in Egypt conceruing the present condi- tion of affairs in that country are simely and interesting. In a lengthy articio in a Washington paper Mr. Wolf says: The natioual party con- sists of the learned clase, Mussul- mans, who speak Arabic and have been edocated at Azhar university and other echools; the Arab or Egyptian merchants and shop-kecpers, with few oxcoptions; the artisaus, the village sheiks and their representatives in par- liament, the Coptic Ohristians, the army excepting a few Circassian officers; tho Semi Bedouin Arabs of the Dolta, and those of the fellaheen who have any political views, ‘‘I'he mass of the actual laborers,” says Mr. Wolf, “'are probably like the laborers of Eu- rolpe -indifferent to politics—but when I left Egypt there scemed to be a growing idea with them that Arabi would 1 some way relieve them from the debts in which they are involved and from the remunant of tyranny they still complain of at the hands of Mudirs.
