-j(. j 8 now authoritatively stated that, notwithstanding the protest of the foreign Consols, the majority of the European Powers approve of the bombardment of the Alexandrian forts by England. Constantinople, July 12. Said Pasha has been appointed Grand Vizier, in place of Abdurrahman Pasha. London, July 12. _ It has been ascertained that the Egyp ' ; liana have suffered the loss of five killed and twenty-seven wounded. The English . ironclads have sustained very little injury from the fire of the Egyptian guns. Some anxiety is felt for the safety of the Ehedive, whose whereabouts are at present unknown. > * ■ Alexandria, July 12, 1 p.m, ■ - A flag of truce has been hoised in the . City, and a boat, with a flag of truce, is ■ ' How proceeding to the English squadron. It is now known that the bombardment will be resumed in the morning, as it-has been: ascertained the Egyptians have re paired some of the damaged forts during the night.

Alexandria- Following the startling news which ap peared in yesterday’s issue, we give below a few particulars, taken from an authentic . source, showing the position of Alexan dria ; and, by giving our readers a brief view of the situation, they may be in a position to judge for themselves as to the likelihood of the present state of affairs ; being of long or of brief duration : Alexandria is an ancient city and seaport in Egypt, about fourteen miles west of the Cano • pic mouth of the Nile, on the ridge of land . j between the sea and the bed of the old lake i .Marcotis. The ancient Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great, B.c. 332, and its founder desiring it to become the centre of commerce between the east and the west, it - fully realised his aspirations afterwards. It ... had then as now, two harbors, an eastern and a western, one on each side of the Mole, which connected the island of Pharos with the city. Modem Alexandria stands partly on , what was formerly the island of Pharos, partly ' fan the peninsula, which now connects u with ~ the mainland, and has been formed by the ac cumulation of soil in the course of ages, and partly on the mainland. Though the scene of much bustle and gaiety, it possesses none of the splendour of the ancient cityj in common with most eastern towns, however, its coarser features are relieved by the minarets, some of , Which are of great beauty. The streets in the Turkish quarter are narrow, dirty, and irregu lar ; the houses generally three or four stories . high, substantial, but dull, from want of windows to the street. Since 1840, when the overland route to India was established, these old dwellings have given place to huger and finer houses. Land has in .. creased, in value, and where the old Arab hovels and Turkish houses were formerly, fine warehouses and shops are now to be seen. In theforeign quarter the streets are regular and wide, built of white stone, mostly in the Parisian style. The chief place of business is the Grand place, which is paved on each side, and has a railed-in garden in the centre, planted with trees, and having a fountain at -each end, and in the centre stands a statue of Mehemet-Alu- Here are the principal shops, banks, churches, hotels,- and British Consulate office, etc. The Government have shown most decided Western proclivities, as the only really Moslem part of the city is the place where the Arab bazaars are located. European customs -and merchandise ate causing many innovations, and travellers from Europe often express sur- prise at-the extent of European commerce carried on in Alexandria. Fortifications 'mounted with heavy ordnance, on the latest and'most improved plan, have been erected in and around Alexandria. There are also a large arsenal, and barracks con taining from 10,000 to 12,003 troops. In all. this French engineers and military officers have helped the Egyptian Government . to accomplish, audit may safely be surmised that the town will be strongly fortified. The language of the country isFrench, it is taught In all the schools, and is used even in public notifications and street naming. To French men also Alexandria is indebted for the in estimable comfort of an efficient water supply, and the highest town, 100 feet above sea level, cap be supplied with water. The site of 'Cleopatra’s Palace is now occupied by a rail way station, overlooking the Bay of Aboukir, the scene of Nelson’s victory over the French fleet in 1798. The other passenger station is the new one built for the Cairo, Rosetta, and Suez Railway, outside the Porte Moharrem Bey. The new port in the East is not much - used as.it is considered dangerous owing to the exposure to heavy winds and the foul and rocky bottom. The old port has been much im proved lately, and a breakwater over 3,000 yards in length has been constructed, starting near the western extremity of what was the Isle of Pharos, and running almost parallel with the shore. An anchorage of 17,000 acres is thus formed, and an inner mole of 900 yards ■in length, on the eastern'side of which some splendid quays have been erected for large ves sels, with suitable railway connections. The trade of Alexandria is large, the exports being, -in 1880, over 15 millions, and the imports .about.half that sum. The chief articles of ex port .are. cotton,, beans, peas, rice, wheat, barley, gums, flax, hides, linseed, mother of pearl, ostrich feathers, etc., etc. It was sup posed that as scon as the Canal was opened Fort Said wonld monopolise the trade, but this has not been the case. The population is a-mixed one, the criminal class of adventurers being beyond police control. It numbered in 1872, 212,034, of whom 47,316 are foreigners. - England and France, the two chief nations, nsiiigthe Suez Canal, have been threatened ; i*ith ifae destruction of the Canal, and the Sul- Um of Turkey, who is supposed to be the head of the Ottoman Empire, has been defied by the Egyptians. Fortifications were hastily erected, but we are glad to say were as hastily de molished with ironclads, after thirty-six hours’ notice from the British Admiral, and the result will be the occupation of Alexandria by the British, in order that the Khedivfe’s authority may- be restored. There will not be much difficulty in'reducing the whole of Egypt to submission, as its military power is weak, but if Turkish and Russian intrigues are at work, it will be no easy matter to define the limits of the present situation, as at present a force of 20^000Egyptian troops will not make much dif erence in. opposing England’s fleet, but it means .a great loss to the commercial world, if Ifee Canal is blockaded for some time. The 81 top guns of England’s ironclads have already silenced a well fortified port, and a small force of troops will soon effect what is required, viz., obedience. _
