[EEUTKB’iS TELEGRAMS.] ALEXANDRIA, August 3. Rumors are current that there are serious dissensions in Arabi’s camp at Kafradowar, CONSTANTINOPLE, August 3. It is conclusively known that the Northern Powers—Austria, Germany and Russia —have fully decided to support Turkey in intervening in the settlement of affairs in Egypt. The first detachment of Turkish troops will sail for Egypt on Saturday next. Dervish Pasha, who is to command the expedition, will accompany th’s detachment. .

It has transpired that the proposal submitted to the Conference by the Italian Ambassador that neutrality of the Suez Canal should be secured by a collective naval protection has been discussed by representatives of Powers. The plenipotentiaries of Germany, Austria, Russia, and Turkey have accepted the proposal, but the British and French Ambassadors have not, it is understood, yet jjiven any definite decision upon the point. The Conference of the European Ambassadors is continuing its sitting. The Porte has sent a communication to the Conference, asking its approval of the proposal that the issue of the proclamation declaring Arabi a rebel against the Imperial authority should be deferred until Turkish troops have landed in Egypt. Lord Dufferin, in replying to the communication, reiterated the declaration that the aims of England in Egypt were entirely unselfish, and stated that the British Government insisted that Arabi should be proclaimed a rebel by the Sultan prior to the debarkation of Ottoman troops. The British Ambassador further declared that unless the Porte agreed to these terms the British Government would adopt measures to prevent the landing of troops in Egypt. ALEXANDRIA, August 2.
