Since the attack upon Raemses and the occupation of the position by the British troops, no further military movements have been made by Sir Garnet Wolseley. Intelligence is to hand that a large force of the enemy is still at Kafradowar, where the work of entrenchment is being further vigorously proceeded with. News has also been received from Port Said that Arabi's gheimlihi has been largely reinforced, and it is expected that they intend to make an attack on the port. Several more of the officers of Arabi's army have deserted, and the enemy's ranks are daily becoming weaker. Later. All is quiet in front of Sir Garnet Wolseley's position at Kaemses, and nothing lias been seen of the enemy since the recent engagement. The British cavalry on Saturday occupied Kassassain, a lock on the Sweetwater Canal between Cairo and Ismailia.
