FOREIGN LETTER.
(Regular Correspondence.)
Alexandria, Egypt, Aug. 14, 1S82.
Yesterday afternoon the Scots
ajid Grenadier Guards and the 75th.
Hi ghlanders disembarked here and
proceeded to the front.
The scene in dock presented a
highly picturesque and interesting
aspect. Three transports contain
ing [Guardsmen, Scots, and Gren
adiers, lay alongside the quay, their
Bides lined with soldiers evidently
delighted at the prospect of landing
and eager to see the shattered city.
The tioops looked very well after
their voyage. Few of them had
suffered from sea sickness.
Each of these fine battalions ex
hibited such eagerness to land be
fore the other that the General
deemed it expedient to give orders
that they should disembark siinul
taneously. The regimental bag
gage, stores, horses, etc., were laud
ed by midday. The men, however,
dined on board, and paraded in full
marching order at half past three.
The order to fall in was then sound
ed by the pipers and drummers,
and received with cheers. Great
astonishment was aroused among
the assembled natives by the
strains of the bag pipes.
At four o'clock. Generals, Adye,
Alison, and Graham, accompanied
by Admiral Seymour, arrived to
inspect the Guards, and with the
Duke of Counaught, walked down
the front of the line, about half a
mile in length, ranks being careful
ly dressed and colors unfurled. As
soon as the inspection was over,
Sir John Adye formed the officers
into a circle and delivered an itn
pressive address, pointing out to
them .the duties and difficulties,
hardships and perils of campaign I
rl , . , , ,
mug. lie reminded them that they
must be prepared to meet an ene
my in great stiength, numerically
considejed, courageous, determined
aud well armed. He cautioned
them against being too sanguine or
over confident, and strongly exhort
ed them to guard against surprises.
At half past four o ; clock the Gre
nadiers' baud struck up a quick
march, aud the battalion moved off
in fours. The Scots Fusiliers tol
lowed headed by their pipers, drum
mers, and fifers. Simultaneously
the sailors manned yards, and set
up a lusty cheer which was vigo
rously echoed by the Guards on
the quay.
Along the line of route were to
be seen many groups of Arabs
manifestly deeply impressed with
the magnificent appearance of these
fine troops, and could be heard
ejaculating "allali allah! what
foois we are ! v The Europeans here
turned oat en masse to welcome
the Guardsmeu, who really offered
an imposing spectacle, streaming
on steadily through the white d6
bris of the burnt houses, shovelled
together in heap, upon which the
turbaned aud red capped Arabs
gathered iuknots to see the English
soldiers pass on their way to the
frout.
The Duke of Counaught, atteud
ed by Major Lane, preceeded the
Guards during their march through
the city. His Royal Highness
looks well and hardy. He has se
cured a small house adjoining tha
liamleh'Curap, which will be the
headquarters of his brigade until,
M °
Geueral Wolseley's arrival.
_ , . , .... .
The GOidstrance are still Olltsiue
the Harbor, bat will land to daj
and join the Guards Brigade. The
J
impression at present prevailing
here seeuvs to be that the Egyp
tians will give the English a deal
of trouble. His cavalry is well
Liimlloil lift h;is P'Ortil eneinpa at
nauuieo, ue UdS goou tn^uies at
his eomuiaud, and seems tolerably
extort in flag signalling. He is
strengthening his iutrenchments on
the Canal, and bis monuments in
that direction can be plainly seen
from the English positions.

There was an increase of one white school,
but two schools wero temporarily closed on
account of overflow's.
I have lately visited the Corporation school
colored, and find it in a flourishing condition.
The repairs lately made to the buildings havo
rendered the pupils more comfortable.
I have also visited the Stafford school, col
ored, which 1 found lull of pupils and requir
iug an assistant teacher. The building is rath
er small for the number in attendance hut he
ing in an open plain, it is cool aud pleasant
otherwise.
I visited the Guion Academy, white, I no
ticed the same energy and perseverance in
the Teachers heretofore exhibited and an at
tendance of pupils that is not excelled iu any j
school. I have been unable to get the aid of j
the Municipal authorities iu making some im !
proveuients that are needed about the yard |
and buildings.
1 visited the Naquin school, white, where j
I found a much larger attendance of pupils i
than were recorded at any previous time. I
The teacher and pupils both seemed to be
striving to make rapid advances in their ;
studies.
I also visited the St. Vincent school. Here I
found a good school under excellent discip
line and the pupils farther advanced iu their
studies thau 1 have louud iu any country
school.
I also visited the Moreau school, colored.
There was not a large attendance, hut the
children I found present showed evidence of
careful teaching iu their studies.
A great iroutde in all the coloredochoots is
the deficiency of hooks. Scarcely a class is
called up which has not ane or more pupils
that have ue banks.
Respectfully,
(Signed] S. T. GltlSAMORE,
