We are requested to state that, should the English and French Mails now due arrive together, or nearly so, it will be necessary to make special arrangements for delivery to prevent confusion. As it is impossible to say which mail will arrive firet, the nature of the arrangements to be made cannot be fixed beforehand, but notics will be cir calated as early as practicable. It will be necessary to keep the Post Office entirely closed against applications of all kinds for about an hour and a half while the French Mail is being sorted, and, during this time, the delivery of the English Mail, supposing it to have arrived, will be noavelably suspended.

The ference to the Army Reserve and the order giren for Indian troops show that we have seen only the beginning of a retributivo war in Upper Egypt. It would seem that disaster is the only stimulus which nows- days proves sufficient to gosd England inta doing anything decisive at the right time.
