Alexandria., September 22
Dimietta was yesterday occupied by the British troops under Sir Evelyn Wood. The bulk of the rebel garrison had previously deseited, and had made their way to Tantah, where they submitted to the British. The remainder fled before the arrival of the troops, but only after they had looted and plundered the town in every direction. The commander of the garrison, Ab'iallah, yieldei to Major-General Wood on the entry of the British. A grand parade of Biitish cavalry took place io-day at Cairo. Since this display the attitude of the populace (previously most insolent towards the troops) has become most abject, the parade having had an overawing effect on the people.
