The War in Egypt.
. 4> [By Cable.] Alexandria, Aug. 28. Bedouins are massing in the neighborhood of this city and their numbers are daily increasing. They are now throwing up entrenchments near Fort Mex. No further movement of importance has yet been made by the forces. Sir Garnet Wolseley and the main body of the first division are still in the neighborhood of Ramses.
