LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1853.

It is, of course, simply a coincidence, but, at
tho same time, a sufficiently curious and remark-
able coincidence, that Fiance should have called
out a portion of her military forces at Satory,
and England a portion of hers at Chobham, 'at
the precise juncture when there is a probability of
war with the A.u-TocRAT. In each instance the
troops drawn out in encampment have been re-
Tiewed with considerable pomp by their respective
Sovereigns. It was only very recently that we
received an account of the visit paid to Satory by
his Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON, accompanied
by the Empress EUGENIE, the principal offi-
cers of his staff, and the grand functionaries of
his household. Within a brief interval after-
wards, we had the gratification of notifying the
enthusiastic reception accorded to her Most
Gracious Majesty Queen VICTORIA, and her
august consort the Prince ALBERT, by her
brave soldiers assembled together at the
Chobham Encampment. Meanwhile, we are
informed by successive despatches received from
Constantinople that the SULTAN and his Divan
are making extraordinary, and in some respects,
as far at least as Turkey itself is concerned,
wholly unparalleled exertions in the way of war-
like preparations. The VICEROY of Egypt has
promised an enormous contingent—some say a
contingent of no less than 150,000 men in the
aggregate. Besides all which, the maritime arma-
ments of the Sublime Porte have been promptly
concentrated in the neighbourhood of the Bos-
phorus, while the fleets of France and England
have already arrived at the Channel of the Dar-
danelles.

Under these circumstances we wonder how it is
just now with his Imperial Majesty the AUTOCRAT !
We wonder what he thinks, on calm reflection, of
the mission entrusted to Prince MENSCHIKOFF !
We wonder what his real feelings may happen
to be at this moment in regard to his inso-
lent ultimatum, to the proud Note, and the
haughty Sened, and the arrogant Convention !
Everything has failed in this gigantic conspiracy
for the downfall of Turkey in Europe, and the
occupation of Constantinople. Every thing has
proved abortive in relation to the great diplomatic
coup which was to have transformed the mosque of
St. Sophia for ever afterwards into a church for
the Greek Schismatics. One by one the demands of
the CZAR have been rejected by the SULTAN and
Ministerial advisers. One by one the insults ad-
ventured upon by his Plenipotentiary have been
quietly set aside by the resolute and dignified
bearing of the Divan. Ultimately, in fact, we
have witnessed how the Russian Ambassador, with
all his pomp and bluster as Envoy from the Im-
perial councils of St. Petersburgh, has received, in
spite of all this, his conge, and been politely bowed
out of the capital of Constantinople. Baffled in his
lawless enterprise, it now remains to be seen whether
the CZAR will venture to enforce his views by an open
declaration of war, not by this time simply against
Turkey, but against the banded forces of the allied
Powers of Christendom.
An electric message of extraordinary importance
has this morning been flashed from Paris to Lon-
don under the waters of the British Channel.
According to the
sententious wording of the
telegraph—"THE ITIMMATUINI OF RUSSIA HAS BEEN
FINALLY REJECTED By THE PORTS„-an intima-
tion dated on the 16th of June from Constanti-
nople.membered that the 16th
It will be re
instant was the limit fixed for deliberation on the
part of the Divan as to the acceptance or refusal
of this four times proffered and four times
rejected Ultimatum. Well —the day fixed
has arrived, and again, for the fourth time,
and finally, the Porte has refused to accept
the ultimatum. What will follow ? Shall
we say with Sir HUGH EVANS—" There be
pippins and cheese to come yet ?" Or shall
We listen for the thunder of BAYES ? Will this
Anal rejection of the ultorti'atuol Lao the refusal of
