DESTRUCTION OF THE FORTS. THE IRONCLADS UNINJURED. Alexandria, July 11, 1 a.m.
The forts hare returned the fire of the English ironclads, and a heavy bombardment has continued on both sides. Two of the forts have been blown up by an explosion, and the guns of another have been silenced. The remainder of the forts are now slackening their fire. None of the ironclads have yet suffered any material damage, and the Egyptian fire has so far had no serious effect. The explosion of the forts was due to the bursting of shells. The casualties on the side of the Egyptians are not yet known.
