A 1IRISK BKHIMISH. ALEXADUIA , Auguat G. At 6 o'clock yeatorday afternoon the British troops with a number of iiold guns , attacked the advance guard of Arab ! Paslia noai llamloh , between Malonbtob 'canal and the Cairo railway , firing upon the enemy's position from throe sides. Arubi Pasha sent fourteen men with a white flag to the British camp thie morning. The party wan received by Major Pringlo , but the interview was without rcMiilt. FUilYUEK PARTll'UtiAIIS. At 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon the armored train with Nordonfoldt gum and forty pounders proceeded to Ma.- hall.i junction , carrying 1,000 marines under Colonel Ten-son accompanied by Captain Fisher and Lieutenant Limbton. The expedition was joined from llamloh by _ the Sixty-eighth rifles and Thirty-eighth regiment. The onenjy soon appeared in great force and sent a shower of rifle shots intc our troops or rather over their heads , while from behind entrenchments the men opened a brisk Ore with field guns and made free use of rockets. ' The Nordonfoldt guns from the tram made excellent practice in return and played havoc in the ranks of the enemy. The enemy's loss must have been severe. Orders have boon issued that thera- connolssanca be resumed in thoTnorn- ing , but as the admiral proposes to send an escort under a flag of truce through to Arabi Pasha's camp to con voy Midshipman Dechairs cflbcta tu Cairo , itis | uncertain whether the ro- connoissanco will take place. It is not clear what object is to bo gained by such mancuvuors which expose our troops to the risk of heavy loss. SILENCING THE ENEMY. ALEXANDRIA , August G. The object of the operations Saturday was a recou- noieancu in force. Commencing at 4 o'clock in the afternoon a steady ad- varico nas made , the marines upon the railway line , the rifles upon the west bank of the Mohmoudich canal and South Staffordshire regiment and mounted infantry upon the east bank. The enemy were driven in from all their advanced posts and compelled to bring into action all their troops avail able in front of their principal line of entrenchments atKafr El Divarname ly , about tour battalions of infantry , a force of cavalry and several guns. The latter wore completely silenced by the accurate fire of our forty poun ders. The Egyptian infantry held their , ground wuti considerable steadi ness. The marines on the railway , who were under the immediate com mand of General Allison , pushed the enemy back upon their second line of sntronchmonta towards Kafr El Dwar. The marines were supported by the South Staffordshire regiment and ifles. They suffered somewhat , but ) ohavod with the greatest coolness and steadiness under heavy firo. The object of the British operations , which was to compel the enemy to display what guns they had in front of the nain position , was completely at tained. This waa ascertained by lightfal , when the Britiali wore slowly and steadily withdrawn. No accurate return of killed and wounded s yet obtainable. The enemy's ' loss s unknown. A largo number of wounded fell into the hands of the British. Many dead wore soon. A considerable number of the enemy were made prisoners. The British nade successful experiments with the orty pounders mentioned while mounted on an iron-clad railway ruck. OFFICIAL HEl'UItTJ. LONDON , August 0. The official ro- iort of Admiral Seymour concerning ho encounter with the enemy's re- : pnnoisanco party at Mahalla June- ion , Saturday , is as follows : "Our orco consisted of 200 men of the na val brigade , with one forty-pounder and tvro nine-pounder guns , under 'apt. Firholf ; 1,000 marines under 3ol. Towsoiij half the battalion of ho Thirty-eighth and Forty-uixth egiraonts and all the Sixtieth regi- mriit. Wo had a skirmish the enemy , who was 2,000 strong with six guns aid six rockets , from half-past 0 until mlf-past 7 in the evening , Total cas- alties to the naval brigade and ma- inos , two killed and twenty-two wounded. " The following is General Allison's oport : "Persistent native reports fitting during the past few days that .rabi Pasha was returning from Kafr SI Dwar upon the Damanhour , I de- ormined upon a roconnoisanco to as- srtaia clearly whether Arabi Pasha ill hold his original position" strongly. The loft column commenced to ac vance nt 4(5 : p. m. from the advanc Eickota at the Ramloh lines , movln y both banks of the Mohnioudic canal , and soon came into action wit the enemy , who was strong ! , posted in a group of palm tree on the eastern tide , and stroll dofenciblo houses and gardens on th other side. Thco positions were car ried. At this limo Lieut. Vjso , o the GOtli regiment and ono soldier wn killed , In the evening they took second position , half n mile in th rear , upon the east bank of the cana among the high crops and houses an behind the irregular bnnkn of the ca nal. From this position also , th enemy were driven with great loss I accompanied the right column mj self. As soon as the enemy observe us they opened fire with artillery , pushed on as rapidly as possible till ' . reached the point wljero the railwa approaches near to the Mohmoudiu canal and then opened n musketry fir upon the enemy lining the banks o the canal , Two nine pounders wer dragged on to the embankment an came into action au'ainst the cnomit Buns , forty pounders firing over oil heads , against the point where th enemies forces were beginning to w pear. I now throw forward two com panics to carry the house near th canal and followed up by throwin tour companies still more to my In upon the bank of and across the canal thus attaining the position I wishe and forming a dingnonal line across bet canal and railway. The enemy retired ed slonly before us. Fiv of their seven pounders itiu nine centimetre guns . wet speedily got under by our artillery The object of my reconnoisanco wo attained and I determined to wit ) draw. This movement was carrie out with the most perfect regularit and precision , The troops fell bac by alternate companies with the rcgi larity of a field day. Every attomp by the enemy to advance was crushe by the beautiful precision of _ the fort pounders nnd the steady firing of th nino-pounderc. The losses of the ei omynppoarod.to have boon very greai They " wore so dispirited tha contrary to usual practice o Asiatics , they made no a * tempt to follow up our withdrawa As roconnoisanco success of our mov waa all I could wish , I regret to atat our loss was somewhat heavy. Lii-u Vyeo was ono of the most promisin ollicors I over mot. Our total los was four killed and twonty-nin wounded. " THE LOSS AND OAIN. ALEXANDHIA , August G.

The pris oners , in order to teat them , were offered the option of returning to the enemy's camp They all refused , say ing there was great discontent in Arabi Pasha's ' camp. They say Arabi aont as prisoners to Cairo some oflicors who asked what they were fighting for , The prisoners reckon the rebel force at Kafr El Dwar at 10,000. The onemy's firat line was not entrenched but [ was sheltered partly by brushwood - wood and houses and partly by barri cades erected with carriages taken From Alexandria.

The French ambassndoi was forced to reserve his opinion , owing to the political crisis in Paris Other delegates , Including the Turkisl representatives , accepted colloctiv protection with n modification tha there should only bo provisional super vision of the canal. Lord Dufferin nguin Insisted upot the proclamation of Arabi Pasha n a rebel. IIo pointed out the rumor in Egypt , that the sultan protected Arabi Pasha nnd would send troop to drive out the English. Ho furthoi called attention to the fact that th porte had not yet given a writtui statement of ita adhesion to the idcnt ical note. lie said England might regard gard the delay as an actual refusal am act accordingly.

IIUSSIA 8 ATTITUDE , 8r. PETEIIHIIOIIO , August 5. There is no longer any doubt that a diverg ence ) of views exists between England and Russia which is exercising a very prejudicial influence upon all at tempts to harmonize English action in Etrypt with the legitimate rights and wishes ot' the powers. It is not inlikely that this divergence may ead to a break of the conference nt on early date without any tangible result. The London Times says the jorto has the effrontery to declare hat the proclamation against Arabi ? asha will bo contingent on his ntti- udn after the landing of the Turkish n Egypt. It is impossible , there- ore , for England to accept or > ormit the landing of Turkiah troops ri Egypt. Egypt.FOH FOH WHAT IT IS WOHTIIi LONDON , August C.

FllBNOH OPINION BOSTON , August G , The Herald's 'aria cable contains interviews with romineiit politicians on tha Egyptian uestion.

The first point worthy of attention is the persistency with which England maintains her policj of intervention in Egypt without the Rid of nn ally.
