A TEMPORARY TRUCE. Alexandria, July 13.
It has been ascertained that when the flag of truce was hoisted yesterday a boat went off to the English flagship, and the Egyptian envoy requested that negotiations for a settlement of hostilities might be entered upon. Admiral Seymour in reply stated that he could not agree to the request unless the forts commanding the harbor were first surrendered. This demand was refused by the Egyptians, and a temporary truce was therefore ceded.
