PROCEEDINGS ON SHORE.
Alexandria, July 16. The English sailors and marines now hold all the forts, as well as the city gates. Men from the German, American and Russian war-ships are assisting the English, and are acting as police, restoring order in. the city. The French and Italian commanders refuse to land any forces to assist the other Powers. The city is rapidly becoming calmer, and the efforts of the English sailors to stay the flames here have had good effect. Most of the fires have been got under, and are dying out. The marauders and pillagers have ceased their work of devastation and pillaging. Rumours are to hand that serious disturbances have broken out in Cairo, but no confirmation of the news is to hand. Malta, July 12. A further detachment of marines, consisting of 1000 of all ranks, left to-day for Alexandria.
