NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE situation in Egypt has remained unchanged throughout the week. Ragheb Pasha, an old official of Arabi's party, has been appointed Premier ; Arabi himself is Minister of War; and the Administration maintains external order. Dervish Pasha, even declares that everything is now "satisfactorily arranged." The Khedive, however, does not return to Cairo, the British Consul-General has gone on shipboard "under medical advice," and the exodus of respectable Europeans is complete. It is said that not a hundred British subjects remain in Cairo and. Alexandria, though, of course, there are a considerable number in the establishments on the Canal. All parties are, in fact, waiting for the final decision of the Powers, which cannot now be long delayed. Meanwhile, the Channel Fleet Las passed Malta, and on its arrival Sir Beauchamp Sey- mour will have 7,000 men under his command, exclusive ,of those at the disposal of the French Admiral. The corre- spondents report the tension as extreme, and the Arabs as most insolent, but it does not appear that any further out- rages have occurred. The excitement, however, encourages the -few fanatics in Egypt to use threatening language, which is carefully telegraphed to Europe.
