CONSTANrINOPLE, June so, 1869.
The question pending between the Porte and the
Pasha OF Egypt regarding the Suez canal continues
to be the main topic OF interest discussed in all cir
ces here and to all appearances his Royal Highness
the Khedve seems to kave but few friends in this
capital. as the general wish appears to be that he
may be made to eat humble pie in the matter. From
the tenor OF several European journals, however, 1t
does not appear quite as certain that the
VicerOY Is quite friendess In other places
Also for, Notwithstanding the Sutans for
NAL protest, he continues hts tour OF invita-
ton visits, and his conversations regarding
the future political position OF the canal and seems
to be received and listened to In capitals with
cautious reserve; in Others with friendly favor and
protection. In the meantime the Porte can only
wait to see what the Khedive's next move may be.
and how far he may think himself strong enough TO
throw off the mask entirely but except the favor
shown him in some courts turn out to mean actual
and material ala against the Porte In case OF need.
his Highness may tnd out. when too late, perhaps,
that the Porte has tie means, as well as the WILL TO
bring him to reason. We hear OF new Ievies OF
troops in Egypt aud preparations in the OF naval
ornaments and so FORTH to meet which the re-
sources country are to be strained to the utmost

ton to cope with the forces Of the Porte. This he
must be fully aware OF, ana 1t is the knowledge Of
this which renders his present moves Incompetent
Sble. That ne Is playing game for independent
royalty is pretty evident but what cards he relies
to win the game WITH or how far he may be sure of
those winning cards, Is more than anybody seems to
know as yet
In the meantime his invitations have been more or
less accepted. The Emperor OF Austria Is said to
have promised to be at Suez personally. Italy. on
the other hand, sends the Duke son, with neet
ana England the Prince OF Wales. France, the En-
press. But between this anu October many changes
may take place.
The feeling here Is so strong against the Pasha
that even the small affair Of signb0ard over the
Egyptian Post ONCE attracted notice. A new sign-
board was put up a few days ago, with the Words
"R0yal Egyptian Post Office" This remarked,
and orders were Immediately sent to the postmaster
TO have the board removed and as 1t had been put
note was addressed TO Egypt on the subject, with
request that the incident should not be renewed.
When relations between Suzerain court and vassa
come to TINS pitch, the least thing may bring on
disturbance, especially If the latter harDors the least
intention to increase the irritation rather than ap-
pease it.

whence, however, 1t will not be long ere we see
them back again and willing to listen to reason.
