The letter or his Hghness Aali Pacna, Grand vi.
zier, to the Viceroy Of Egypt Ismail Pacha will
to explain to you fully the nature Of the CON-
plants OF the Sultan against the latter We now
wait to receive the reply and explanations. No
one here believes that this difficulty between the
Sultan and his vassa viii gravitate into an open
breach OF the peace, though perhaps few persons
hope 1t may These are the brother OF the viceroy
and the uncle, Mustapha FAIL Pacha and Hahn Pa
cha. The latter Is the grandson OF the old Mo.
hammed All Pacha, founder Of the present dynasty
OF Egypt.
There is no reason to suppose that the viceroy
fears any warke action the part OF the Porte
All Europe Is now peacefully disposed and the Porte
has just come out Of a protracted and expensive
civil war, to suppress the nsurrectIon In Canda and
cannot well alord TO enter into new conflict. Its
finances are still In bad condition. and 1t has just
made new loan OF sl2 ooo, 900 at more favorable
rate than the preceding ones. On the other nand
the vlceroy has no spare cash, and could not make
loan for war which would Ieo pardize his own posi-
tion ana consequent means Of paying II. His naval
force Is very small and he has acted most despot-
lcally over the poor Feahs Of Egypt there is small
Bympathy for him among that class OF people. In
fact, his chief supporters would be his immediate
officers and the SPECTATORS who live on his favor
and bounty In Egypt.
From Europe the Viceroy can reasonably expect
no c0untenance, and, much less, any enectual as.
sistance Several OF the greater Powers are asso-
ciated in the terms OF the Sultan's 6rman which
conferred Egypt upon the family Of old Mohammed
All Pacha under certain conditions. These have been
changed from time to time, always favor of the
Incubus of the VicerOyalty, but can also be placed
back by the Sultan TO their original status In OF
need. Ii IL supposed that France particularly pro-
tects Ismail Pacna, the present Viceroy, ana that

General. There may be some truth IN this. The
French have the Suez Canal and the route TO India

Ferdinand do Lesseps whose father was for many
years French Consul General at Philadelphia. lie
died at Tunis, Barbary, III the same capacity, well
advanced In years. Madame Lesseps, mother OF
Ferdinand and Jules Lesseps was Spanish lady
nrst cousin OF the mother VI the present Empress OF
Franco % that there Is a close connection between
her and the promoter OF the Suez Canal. This will
serve TO explain the protection which M. Fer.
dinand Lesseps has always had at the Tuileries for
his Egyptian project and enterprise and the visit
which the Empress IL now about TO make to Egypt
on the occasion OF Its termination. She Is expected
TO arrive here about the goth OF September and after
stay Of some ten days VIII proceed to Alexandria,
With or without the company OF the Sultan. The
6in1cnlty between the Sultan and the yicerOy
must ALSO be one Of some embarrassment to the
French Court. On the other hand, the British gov
