Yesterday he telegraphed to Arabi Pasha, saying he had just sent a depatch to De Freycmet, telling him that the Khedive and agents of the Powers here were incorrectly informed as to the situation; that the Canal was in no danger, that he had prevented the landing of the French and British troops, and that if the Minister would make him representative of France here he would ensure the safety of European life and property, and secure the Canal. Arabi replied that he would provide for the safety of the Canal, so long as England respected its neutrality.
