THE LATEST.
Alexandria, August 20. A Ruse. The British Fleet and transports which left here yesterday did not stop at Aboukir, but passed on and proceeded to Port SaidOn arrival there a body of sailors was landed, and all the natives in the place were disarmed. No resistance was offered by the latter. This ruse having been successfully accomplished it is now probable that the fleet and transports will proceed to«day to Aboukir, and forthwith commence an assault on the forts there. Traffic StoppedAll traffic through the Suez Canal has been temporarily stopped by order of Sir Garnet Wolseley. Another Skirmish. It is now known that the cannonade which was heard yesterday in the direction of the Mahmudich Canal was the outcome of a skirmish, which occurred between General Hamley's advanced guard and ©Arabi's outposts beyond Kafradowar. The action was not of a serious character, and the casualties on either side were slight.
