havoc with the Europeans found in the streets. A letter from the Alexandria correspondent of the Paris Tempts says— : “The Europeans made the moat despe rate resistance and succeeded in inflicting heavier loss <m their Arab assailants than they themselves suffered. According to official Egyptian figures the number of persona admitted to the hospital reached 1,350, of whom 1,160 were natives, but so many were killed and wounded that the Arabs in consequence disanpeared from the city. One Italian is said to have alone killed sixteen, and two Maltese armed with carbines and protected by barricades, together shot fifty. The car nage in one place where Italians and Greeks were assembled was terrible.” VERY LATEST. [by cable.] [pee reuter’s agency.] London, July 23.
