Captain Read, of the Anchor line steamer Armenia, just arrived in Bombay, states that when at Suez he was informed the Europeans had organized a force to resist any violence. It was arranged that all the Europeans were to collect in the grand square with whatever arms they could muster.
They were threatened that their buiklings would be fired, and they intended, if this threat was carried out, to retaliate by firing the Arab village in fifteen different places.
About ten thousand Arabs were collected at Damicita, it was believed with the intention of sacking Port Said.
Three boats filled with stones have been lying in the Canal for seveni weeks, nad no one seemed to know for what they were intended; but the sur- uise is, that they were intended to be sunk, so as to effectually block the passage.
A report was also current that a quantity of dynamite was place in the Canal banks and in the bed of the Canal, in such a position that, on explosion, both banks and the bed would be undermined, so as to make the Canal useless for navigation.
