EGYPT.
, Alexandria, August 2. Landing of the Naval Brigade. The Naval Brigade has been landed from the British fleet, and has occupied Mcx, near this city, in force. This movement has been taken in consequence of the attitude of the Bedouin Arabs, who are massing in the neighborhood of Lake Marootis, and threatening the city, and whose advance it has been found necessary to check. A Surprise by Arabs, A party of Bedouin irregulars advanced against the British lines at Ramleh to* day, and succeeded in surprising a picket. The outposts were driven in, and retreated in disorder, but returned on the arrival of reinforcements from the camp, when the Arabs fled. The affair proved a bloodless one.
