Turkey und Egypt-Compiication Revived.
The difficulty between the Sultan and
viceroy is yet far from being amcably and
tremendously settled. Although temporarily
quoted by outside pressure pending the pre-
parations for and ceremonies of the opening
of the Suez Canal, its revival may be ex-
| pected at any time thereafter. In the COM
prehensive schedule of tributary duty enun-
ciated in the first and insisted upon in the
second note addressed to the Viceroy last
summer, it became evident that the Sultan
was determined to humiate his royal vassal
| by exacting conditions which would wound
his amour propre, and place Egypt in
the same position as other less important
provinces of the Ottoman empire. An
ancient frman, unearthed for the occa-
sion, was held threateningly over Ismail
Pacha's head, and strict compliance with
and adherence to its odious conditions de-
manded as the price of the Sultan's favor
and the essential for future tranquility
The Commander of the Faithful believes
that had European Powers evinced favor
able disposition to the overtures of his
ambitious vassal nothing less than modern
Egyptian empire, with Ismail at it's head,
was the end aid aim contemplated. Hence
his wrath. Hence his determination to rebuke
IN
upon the specifications of those frmans which
conferred hereditary administration upon the
family of the Viceroy. The idea of indie
pendent rule must be crushed cut; the fresh
blown glories derived as the presiding spirit
and the grand master Of the ceremonies at
the Inauguration of the Suez Canal, and those
dreams Of future greatness which Ismail no
doubt INDUCED in witnessing the gorgeous
pageant must be dissipated by another ulti-
matum, which, we are told, will order the
acceptance of the Turkish proposals without
condition, or suspension from the viceroy
atty as the consequence OF refusal.
1t will be remembered that the second note
of rebuke despatched by the Grand Vizier in
the name of the Sultan declared his satisfaction
with the Viceroy's assurances of fidelity made
in answer to the first complaint; but that salts
faction was materially qualified by the press
ing of certain points in the imperial missye
which left no doubt that the Sultan was not
satisfied with the explanation. Notwithstand-
ing the concliatory response of the Khedive,
setting forth that he had never sought to trans

rial firmans; that he was sensible and CRATE
ful for favors received, and had regulated his
conduct according to the will and orders of
his Majesty; Notwithstanding his many ex-
pressions Of fidelity and devotion-his frank
| explanation which he hoped would remove
untavorable impressions produced by unjust
accusations-he must give further proof OF his
| loyalty His appeal to the clemency and gen.
crosby Of his master, and his avowed readi-
ness to come and lay his mos. respectful HON
age at the foot of his Majesty's throne, were
answered by the renewal of terms which we
were disposed to consider as imperious, arbi-
trary and oppressive. These were as fol-
lows :-The Egyptian army must be reduced
1
must be ordered; all other arms and iron-clad'
that had been bargained for must be counter
handed taxes must be imposed and collected
in the name of the Sultan only the fnancia
budget and contracts for foreign loans subjec
to his approval and authorization bette
treatment must be guaranteed to Mussulmal
pilgrims to and from the Holy Shrine an'
lastly, no direct official intercourse must b.
held by the viceroy with foreign Powers
, After due compliance with these terms ant
the assurance of faithful observance thereof
the note in question graciously announced tina
the homage and visit Of the Viceroy would bt
acceptable at Constantnople.
The Suez Canal movement and the earnes
counsels of friendly Powers were instrumental
in tiding over the crisis which then appeared
imminent The Viceroy did not accept all tn,
conditions required, nor did he absolutely re
3 fuse any. He did not go to Constantinople
nor did the Sultan demand then and there th
: enforcement OF the foregoing stipulations. TIN
