OF WAR IN THE EAST. @ Political and Military Ho- rizon of Constantinople. E SULTANS ULTIMATUM Egypt Must Disarm and Sur- renaer. THE VICEROY TEMPORIZING. The Suez Canal as a Suicidal Weapon of the Khedive. SECRET PLAN WITH BISMARCK. THIopes of the Fouche of the East. SIX GREAT EASTERN QUESTIONS. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 24, 1871. Egyptian tndependence has been one of the pro- Wlems of this century, and its solution is at the ‘threshola. When the French ,empire feli the Khe- dive's last hope expired with it. To-day tne Vice- Tov rests palpably alene, with only tnat secret dip- Jomatic strength which he may have acquired either from lavish generosity or broad, liberal and Progressive views. Whathis secret strength is no man can tell until itis developed by opportunity, and that opportunity I am free to say is near at ‘hand—that is, the day when Turkey will try to com- ‘pel Egypt, and when the Knedive must prove him- self to be great and powerful, or fall one of the most BRILLIANT FAILURES of the East. It is needless to add tnat the positions Iwill define in this letter are facts, and these facts come from the most distinguished and reliable authority. Tne war, then, between the Sultan and the Khedive nas practically comhmenced. YEMEN, a small village ip Arabia, at’ the Red Sea terminus of the Suez Canal, was, about four months ago, the Scene of a violentoutbreak on the part of an Arab tribe, whiclt rose in hostility to the Porte and threatened a sort of perplexing and guerilla war. fare, What prompted this rebellion the reader Mast judge for himself. But the professed—I do mot say the real—object was disbelief in the Koran and adhesion to the faith that the son-in-law All (Aly) 1s the real Messiah of the EASTERN RELIGION. Several thousand comprised the revoiting tribe, all mounted and wild Arabs, who fight well. The Porte immediately sent 20,000 infantry, embarked upon transports, which were towed through the Suez Canal. These men landed at Yemen, and Avith little diMculty suppressed the revolt, and there—at Yemen—the troops of the Sultan still femain. Yemen is ao settlement not far from Mecca, where all good pilgrims, and especially Wirty and diseased pilgrims, go. I need not add ‘that all the pests, epidemics and loathsome tills th: hang about the common neck of the African and Asiatic continents are propagated by these seekers after an illusion older than the ages. Now, what is the military and political situation, When the Sublime Porte has 20,000 tine infantry on the banks of the Red Sea, in camp at Yemen? Militartly the Khedtve ts flanked, The Red Sea ter- maluus of THE SURZ CANAL can be choked up, and all the Yemen victors have to do fa to march rapidly on Cairo and Alexandria, ‘roops, i, 4 the Mediterranean, if they can land, jank the Khedive by sea. What has put the Vice- roy m the lamentable position? The answer 18 simple, “progress” calling on him tor the Suez Canal, and “progress,” again, which has made irdp- viads that could demollsn all the forts that the Khedive has butit or could build along M. de Lesseps’ conduit. Yes, the Suez Canal, the instru- ment, let us hope, of civilization tn the East, has peen a fatal instrument, I jear, to the Khedive—a Bee? to his military prowess along the Nile. Had it not have been for this cana! the Porte could not havo had his camp at Yemen and Egypt would not \o-day be flanked by 20,000 men. But the Khedive vonstructed works Along the banks of the canal; but When he beard of THE TURKISH FLEET and tts iron-claus these forttiications were aban- doned. The squadron that could ve thrown against Egypt is very powerful. belteve that war Is not ninety days off, unless tt be averted by some extraordmary diplomatic vic- tory or combination on the part of the Khedive. It ts the Kheaive who needs diplomatic allies; it is the juitan who has one of the finest armies of Europe. remember General Sheridan to have rald upon being asked where he had Been the finest massed body of soldiers to have replied, in Turkey. Sheridan believed them to be good, steady, rellable men, that could oe handled in action, The Viceroy’s soldiers are equally good, and are yey otficered by Amert- cans Of largeexperience. His army ts 30,000 strong, and besides this he has 75,000 Remington guns in his arscnais, which can be put ta the hands of a contingent. The Turks can throw ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND GOOD MEN pn the Egyptian coast in three days from a proclas miauion uf hostilities, The landing of an invading army has aiways been within an hour's drive from Alexandria, and it was there that Napoleon landed before liis victories preceding the Consulate. THE GAUNTLED OF WAR bas been thrown down by the Sultan. He has noti- fied the Khedive to surrender, without loss of time and without condition, ali his guns, arms, war ma- terial, Vast munitions, on pain of being displaced from his Viceroyalty and of vetng immediately pro- claimed a heretic, In order to cover this order with the semblance of jusiice the Sultan has made the Bame demand of all the African Pachalics, THE BRY OF TUNIS was summoned, and the bey, like a good heuten- &nt, obeyed, because resistance would have been @eath. ‘Che Khedive has the ultimatum in nis hands; he knows what his spiritual and secular fuaster wanis, and the Khedive {s temporizing and the Grand Vizier of the Sultan patiently awaits a response.

The “bulls” in the Goid Room gave the market a decided “squeeze” and compelled the “bears’ to pay 1-16a 44 per cent for the use of gold until to- morrow. The ‘‘shorts,’”” who were induced to cover under an apprebension of a continuance of these rates, occasioned a rise in the price of gold from 112% ro 113%. Subsequently on the decine in foreign exchange there was a temporary reaction to 112%, which was assisted, 11 was reported, by the ‘bulls’? themseives with a view to discouraging their smaller satellites. The market afterward advanced to 113 upon the prevalence of an inquiry for gold to be used to-morrow, and in transactions so occurring the rates were 3.264 7,32. One heavy flrm were unable to make their deliveries except with a certified gold check, which being refused they were compelled to pay one-quarter of one per cent for the privilege of extending the time of delivery until to-morrow. The “squeeze” was intensified by a rumor that one of the Canadian banks had withdrawn its gold tor use in Montreal, where money is sail to be in better demand. The present advance in gold 1s of no service to the exporting merchants for the reason that foreign exchange ts as much lower as gold 1s higher, and hence biils of lading are wortn so much less, The specie engagements for to-mor- row reported up to this hour are trifling, viz., about $100,000, The course of the market 1s shown tn the table:— one-fourth to one-sixteenth per cent tor borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follow: Gold cleared... Gold balances Currency balances. SOUTHERN SECURITIES STAGNANT. The Southern list was lifeless, and underwent so little Nuctuation, even in nominal prices, as to merit no fresh list of quotations, STOCKS DULL AND HEAVY. The early alarm occasioned by the hoax concern- ing the California steamer Henry Chauncey pro- duced considerable excitement on the Stock Ex- change, and nefore the story was denied the:e was a strong pressure tosell Pacific Mail, under which the price declined to 49%. The agents of the com- pany were prompt te deny the statement, and sub- sequently offered a reward of $5,000 for the detec- tion of the parties who perpetrated the outrage, for such it was, considering the alarm it excited, both among people who had friends and merchants wno had goods on board the steamer. The Stock Exchange Will also very probably offer an additional reward— a step which is due to the dignity of financial trans- acttons—the story having been evidently prepared for the purpose of influencing the stock market, 1s doubtful What punishment can be meted out to the offender or offenders, for there were evidently several parties, if not a large party, engaged tn tt, but the trick, if traceavie to any members of or dealers at the Stock Exchange, should condemn them to present execration and to future exclusion from the street, The scheme seems a reproduction by just one year of the one adopted last summer to asion a fall in New York Central by falsely reporting an apopletic stroke to Commodore Vanderbilt, at Congress Hail, in Saratoga, The similarity of the strategy suggests an identity of parties, The situation of the Pacific Mall specula- tion 18 so confused, however, that it ts impossibie to tell whether the Henry Chauncey hoax originated with the “bears’’ or “bulls.’’ It can be laid at the door of either party with equal plausibility, While it seems most natural that it originated with the “pear party, Who were selling the stock s0 confl- dentiy all day Thursday, 1 ia just as good a weory that the “balls” quietly spread the rumor that after+ noon and caused its introduction into the newspa- pers with a view to induce an overwhelming specu- lation for the decline on the hypothesis that with the speedy and certain denial of the story there would be a perfect stampede of “bears” to get their stock back, under which they could easily unload their own stock. A ‘bear’? 1s always @ more timia specuiator than a “bull,” and will take more alarm ata rise of one per cent than will a ‘bull’? ata fall of two per cent. The subsequent course of the stock seems to carry out the latter of the above theories; for, alter the price had rallied from 49%, to 514% (Some Say to 52, the confusion being very great), on the assurance of the company that they were without any advice of such @ disaster as reported, it slowly weakened, as if supplied by the clique, and fell back to 60%. These indications must be taken for What they are worth. Despite them there are many strong beltevers as yet im fhe fidelity of the citque to tHeir original plans of much higher prices for Pacific Matl, but they lack ad- herents in the crowd of speculators at the Stock Exchange, who are equally confident that the Movement has culminated. Inasmuch as the com- pany never publish any reports of their business beyond the formal yearly statement, which by a fanciful appendage of values to each item of the company's property is simply @ balancing of assets with Habilities, and as nothing has occurred to the goneral knowledge of the public explanatory of an enhancement of 10 per cent in the stock during the past few weeks, there Is considerable room for the foundation of such am opinion on (he part of the + $53,878,099 - 1,54 1,782,497 it | street. Indeed, as the complaint has been made that the stoppage of dividends was tne result of heavy losses in running the steamers, it has been facetiously suggested that the rise in the stock to 52% on Thursday was attributed to a belief in the destruction of the menry Chauncey, and the fall to 49% to-day to the chagrin of the stockholders at finding the report untrue, A very shrewd Hibernian once wanted to buy two stoves of a pattern that was advertised to save half the fuel, nts motive being the economy of all the coal. The “boys? in Wall street, who will have their joke, are ciphering it out that every time the Pacific Mail Company lose a steamer the stock 18 enhanced, and that it will go back to 350 again when the last of the line nas vanished. It wouldn't be advisable, perhaps, to back up this theory with any considerable investment of money in the com- paoy’s shares, The reflection is pertinent, how- ever, in view of the fact that the discovered satety of the Henry Chauncey has been followed by lower prices for the stock than prevaiied at the time her salutary conflagration was supposed to have ended her career as a cause of inroad on the Treasury. The moral of all which 1s that the speculation in Pacific Mail may not be ended, and that the public are still at liberty to exercise the American prerogative of disbursing their green- backs and selecting their chotce of sides in the con- test. The rest of the market stood aloof during the exciting twansactionsein Pacific Mall, and was for the most part steady, Western Union being the only exception that ventured on anything like activity, and meeting a reward in a rise to 62%, the highest point this season and the highest for many years. Late in the day, however, on the final break-down of Pacific and an unexplained weakness in New York Central, the dull market became a heavy one, and the closing dealings were tame at a slight re- action from the lowest point of the day.
