PREP A RATIONS FOR RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES. APPROVAL OF THE POWERS.
Alexandria, July 12. A flag of truce has been hoisted in the city, and a boat with a flag of truce is now proceeding to the English squadron. The English ironclads have sustained very little injury from the fire of the Egyptian guns. It is now known that the bombardment will be resumed in the morning, as it has been ascertained that the Egyptians repaired some of the damaged forts during the night. London, July 12. It is now authoritatively stated that, notwitha banding the protest of the foreign Consuls, a majority of the foreign Powers approve of the bambardment of the Alexandrian forts by England. A party will shortly be landed to blow up the guns in the silenced forts. The Khedive's palace, which stands near the sea forts, has suffered severely by the bombardment, and is now literally in ruins. The statement that 40 persons have been wounded on board the English ironclads, by the fire of the Egyptian guns, is fully confirmed. All the inland sea forts have been silenced by the British guns. The ironclads will resume bombardment to-morrow, when the forts commanding the harbour will be attacked.
