The correspondent of the Times at Vienna thinks, from the

information before him, that he can vouch for the rebellion in Yemen not being suppressed. The insurgents now include twenty regiments of two thousand men each, who, under the command of Sheikh Hamed-ed-din, have captured many for- tresses, and are now beleaguering the Turkish garrison in Sanaa, the capital itself. The Turkish Commander-in-Chief has applied to Constantinople for 20,000 men, and says the province requires a garrison of 40,000. The rebels demand as their irreducible minimum a native Governor, native Judges, and an exemption from taxes for five years,—that is, in fact, temporary independence. The Turkish Pasha, in reply, requires unconditional submission, after which, of course, no reforms will be granted.
