correspondent, writing from Constantinople,
under date of July "a, states that there is a
probability OF a war between Egypt and
Turkey, and that the personal relations of
the Khedive of Egypt and the Sultan of
Turkey are far from being friendly. Some
time ago revolt occurred at Yremen vii
lage, in Arabia, near the Red sea terminus of
the Suez canal, and to suppress it 10000
troops were dispatched there by the orders
of the Sultan. These troops remain at Yre-
men, and the Viceroy of Egypt, dreading
the hazards of war, seems unwilling to take
steps which may indicate his willingness to
accept the gauntlet thus thrown down by
Turkey. The surmise is that Turkey, desir-
ing to resist the encroachments of Russia in
the east, wishes to offer the Empire of Ger
many free transit through Egypt, which the
war might be likely to secure, in return for
the aid that Germany might give Turkey in
the Indies.

1.-The cholera is spreading in Koeneigs-
burg, and has appeared in Dantzig. Stillin
and the south of Prussia are still full of the
disease. News from Persia is still CONTRA
dictory. The Levant Herald declares that
the famine and pestilence are worse than
ever; that there have been $4,000 victims
at Ispahan alone; that the crops have been
destroyed, and that one third of the popu-
lation has been annihilated. The details
