ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual rlypochrondrissis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. - - " Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent piactical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. - • - " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; bat the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

The following is the speech of Prince Adam Czartoryski, delivered at the meeting of the Polish Historical Society, held in Paris on the 29th of November last, in commemoration of the Polish Revolution of 1830 31 : " Once more, gentlemen, the duty of addressing you, on this memorable anniversary, has devolved upon me, and appears to me more difficult than before, in presence of the complicated, perplexing, and often contradictory events and circumstances of the world. I should wish not to depart from truth, and at the same time be able to satisfy your expectations and those of our brethren in Poland. Vain will be my efforts, because events speak quicker, and with more emphasis, than words, and because nations, by their actions and example, teach us better what we ought to imitate and what to avoid. We live to see a momentous epoch portending great and most beneficial changes for humanity. The voice of the peoples, their complaints and longings hitherto stifled and repressed, obtain now access to governmental powers. Not only rights which tradition had sanctioned for ages, and laws established by treaties, but the claims of Nationalities aro now brought forward at international deliberations. The monarch who stands at the head of the most valiant and noble nation, whence the light of civilization is spreading all over the globe ; the monarch, chosen by :he will of this nation, has proclaimed himself the fulfiller and observer of the principle of justice, which is to ennoble, and settle on a firmer basis the opera tions of future diplomacy. Besides France, constitutional England, equally mighty, supports this new liberal prin ciple of international treaties. We may, therefore, expect that it will be established, that it will increase in power, and that in time t Wtlinucy of every kind will not support its claims by mesoadight,violence, usurpation, or conquest. But, gentlemenicvery good in this world must be pur chased by suffering, frequently the most honest, nay, even the most salutaty idea, when about to be carried out, in undates countrisewith torrents of blood, fills them with heaps of ruins, and is frequently defiled by excesses. It is sad and heart-rending, when two laws, two principles, which ought always to go together being ranged against one another, are by their advocates either abused or denied, and violated in turn. One of these laws is improperly called " the Law of God," for both proceed from God, or are rather emanations of one law bestowed by Divine justice, not for the benefit of some dozens of potentates, but for the benefit, of mankind at large. For who is not bound to respect traditions and laws sanctioned by ages ? —who would not acknowledge the validity and sacredness of treaties corroborated by oath?—wbo would think of denying that solemn words, stipulated conditions, and mutual agree ments are equally binding in international as well as civil relations ? But it happened in the latter half of the past century that those whose interest and duty it was to watch over the strict observance of existing laws, were the very men who violated them absolutely. The open, glaring crime perpetrated upon innocent Poland led the van of the whole series of iniquities, wrongs, and still continued out rages. These scandalous manifestations of unscrupulous ness in the highest spheres of society struck at the very authority and inviolability of the laws by which Europe was to that time governed ; people perceived, with disgust, imposture and bad faith in the administration of these laws, and excesses of the mighty against the weak without the least consideration for justice. Such an example from above exercised necessarily a fatal influence over the mora lity of society—an influence, the cruel effects of which were very soon appatent. Many times moments of retribution and punishment tame, and they are now approaching ; but that punishment, now as before, seldom reaches the most guilty, and yet never fails to perpetrate new wrongs. The first and indispensable requisite for a nation desirous of obtaining independence, or who has just recovered it, is to revive and strengthen in themselves the principles of order, honour, religion, and morality, lost either by slavery, or troubles and commotions ; for without these principles no nation will ever proceed with dignity, or shine on the path of liberty and progress. Dismembered and subjugated Poland could not, under pre sent difficult and complicated circumstances, set forth by herself her claims either by word or deed. There is yet an inevitable solidarity which unites oppressed nations; the Poles, therefore, could not but see with rapture the peoples of Italy crushing the fetters rivetted by their foreign oppres sors, and they rejoiced at their success • but they heard at the same time, with pain and sorrow, of difficulties and sufferings to which the High Priest of Christendom was exposed. This pain of ours was still increased by the anxiety lest the blows aimed at the Holy See should strike, which God forbid, at the very authority, unity, and the living faith of the Universal Church, which is the stronghold of the whale, even of the disunited Christendom, the true treasure of all social virtues and consolations, of all present and future hopes of mankind. Let us, Poles, love with filial affection—let us preserve zealously, and defend with all our might against the incessant persecution this faith, which was for our forefathers the source of fame acquired by their arms, and of great merits recorded on the pages of history. It has.pleased the Almighty to allow us in our mis fortune to take part in inducing —we trust decisively—a con siderable portion of our fellow brethren to aunion withßome, which may afford to the Holy Father, amidst his most pain • ful afflictions, a moment of comfort and joy. It would be an inconceivable and unpardonable fault on the part of the Zlatholic Powers were they to neglect to take now under their protection at Constantinople four millions of people, who of their own accord are desirous of emancipating themselves from schism which exposes them to a twofold oppression. A new and salutary reform in the management of inter national affairs has already sprung up among the Western Powers : with us the old days of the Partition are still in existence. Elsewhere we hear of nothing but liberty and restoration : our unfortunate country sees the return of old severity, the reintroduction of imprisonment without trial. Everywhere they talk of the importance of nationalities ; and yet that nationality which has given signs of the most vigorous life, whose rights have been confirmed by the ver dict of universal justice and by the sacredness of treaties ; that nationality which has been robbed in the "Jost shame less manner of everything calculated to ensure its vitality, is now but rarely mentioned. Governments pass it by in silence ; the name of Poland has not audibly passed the lips of any Minister ; public opinion speaks in its favour at wide intervals of time only ; and to all minds the Polish question appears so beset with difficulties, so entangled with complicated consequences, that no one dares to take it up in earnest. But let us not be turned away from our object by these obstacles, nor be led by them to indolent supine ness, and to doubts of the final issue. The course of events and of public opinion will not stop, but will bring ever greater danger to our oppressors. Although, as yet, the current has hardly touched our cause, we see that it con fuses and disturbs them, and leads them to the commission of fatal mistakes. With what want of tact did not the three aggressors recently choose for the scene of their delibera tions the capital of a nation, where everything around them recalls the memory of their conjoint crime and its fatal consequences Were it possible that a ray of grace from above could then have enlightened their conscienced, they might at least, on meeting amid these plundered ter ritories, have shown to the world a desire to atone for their sins, and to have joined in fulfilling the promises which they made before all Europe, but all of which they had successively broken. Of the three Powers which are hos tile to us, there is one which, if it desired to cleanse itself of a hideous stain, and, at the same time, understood its own interest, would have no reason to oppose the restoration of Poland. But to hope this would be futile • and any remarks upon the subject would as y et be untimely. The Power I speak of, driven to its last resources, has abandoned the principle of a centralised Government ; and being threat ened with dismemberment, it has agreed to establish a system of separate national autonomies. If these conces sions are sincere—if they are executed in good faith and in their entirety, it is possible that Austria will find in them a means of restoring the unity of her power. Be that as it may, let the inhabitants of Galicia take advantage of these concessions, as if they were never again to be withdrawn ; let them try to extract from the spirit and letter of these new edicts all that may serve to heal their internal wounds, and to strengthen and organise their national powers. In Lemberg as in Cracow, all parties, all classes and pro fessions, prudent statesmen and ardent young men—all, in a word, should join hands, unite in a common understand ing, and persevere in one mind ; they should remember that, although differences of opinion may exist among us, the interest and the good name of our country require us all to rally round one banner in presence of foreign nations. The vitality of one province will diffuse new h es t through the body of its neighbour. For even where no spark of our better hopes has as yet penetrated, how many works of prime utility and immense future influence—works in some cases only planned, in others already in course of execution —call for the united and fervent zeal of the people 1 Does not that most important of all questions, the emancipation question (without reference to what the Government will say on the subject), require the meat anxious care to ensure mutual confidence and sympathy among millions of fss brothersotaermabsteadily tldime ye forbidden anywhere. within np E p e wac thehe.

In this respect I may point to the conduct df the inhabitants of Posen as most exemplary, indeed extraordinary. They know how to ward off, and sometimes to attack, the implacable hatred of the Germans against the Poles ; they refuse to have anything to do with secret dealings, which do no good to our cause, but rather injure it; and recently they have warned the whole Polish nation that everywhere the enemy is spreading his toils, and striving to seduce as from a field of labour which ho looks upon with fear, and that every where we are surrounded with pitfalls, in which we may lose our renewed strength and our honourable name at once. But I learn that the vexatious and irritating proceedings which have become so notorious in Posen, are also spread ing over other portions of our country. The German and Russian bureaucracy do not yet despair of success in their efforts to drive us to madness. I have been informed that agents and emissaries are beginning to insinuate them selves into provincial societies—that they are organising l c o o u n d s r a givinges , expression to thepe people e mist spreading family dissensions, murder and riot , u nder the pretext of freedom and happiness for the people. Th e local absurdthoughtless principles, a m n s d , authorities are well aware of this, and leave them fall liberty of action, for it is in strict accordance with the views of au thorities who are implacable in their hatreds, to hold over the heads of the Poles the terrible sword of butchery, and, on a given °magma, to let it fall on our last refuge. More over, these agents say that they have arrived with the sanction of persons said to be known to the Emigration, among whom lam included. I do not doubt but the common sense which is inherent in the majority ef all classes of our population, will estimate these shameless falsehoods at their true value; or, should they fail in sounding to the bottom these disgraceful intrigues, and shaming our enemies by unmasking their batteries, that they will at least destroy them by the force of their enlightened patriotism. I feel it my duty, nevertheless, however, to warn my fellow-countrymen, and I earnestly desire that this our protest may reach the most distant boundaries of the land of Poland. For it might possibly happen (though I do not anticipate it) that our worthy and noble-hearted young men, carried away by their impatience to take up the national cause, and deceived by false ap pearances, reports, and calculations, would join these emis saries, and thus, by their desire sincerely to serve their country only inflict a dreadful calamity upon it, at the same time drawing on themselves a heavy responsibi lity. Once mere, then, I warn you from this place, and implore and conjure you to be prudent and watchful, and at the same time I take this opportunity for declaring openly that I never sent any emissaries to Poland, but that I have always looked with confidence to my fellow-countrymen there for information and assistance. Lwill never make any statement as to the possibility of coming to decis ive action until I shall have first fully persuaded myself of the practi cability of doing so. You have heard of the invitation sent to the Poles to form in Italy a foreign legion. This measure has not yet been matured, and has to all appearance been put off. I sincerely hope that it will be possible to arm a separate corps of Poles, and I am convinced that there need be no anxiety about the filling up of its ranks. The old and incapable will regret the loss of their strength ; the young will leave their wives and parents to take their stand where shines the hope of doing battle for their fatherland. If this desired opportunity presents itself in Italy let us profit by it ; but always on the condition that the Poles shall be called upon to combat the enemies of Poland only ; that they shall not be made use of in internal broils, and, above all, that we shall not be expected to raise parricidal hands against Rome. And now, as ever, the Emigration will remember its duty, and should circumstances permit it to unfurl, in the presence of governments and peoples, the standard of our . nation, it will keep it pure and unspotted. Before I conclude, gentlemen, I may be allowed to remark that our constant lamentations for our fate seem to me sometimes to sin, by failing to recognise the signs of a Providential government. Let us consider how low our enemies have fallen in their strength, and to what means they are com pelled to have recourse in order to continue the contest with our nationality ; let us con sider how the knowledge of our own faults and shortcomings has spread among us, how much more profoundly we have understood both the conditions of our national strength, and the absolate necessity for its systematic concentration. And let us confess, that it is long since we had so many reasons to hope, supported as we are, not only by our own vigour, but also by our ene mies' weakness. But if, on the one hand, gentlemen, a general view of the present state of our country is calculated to cheer our hearts and excite us to perseverance, you will, on the other hand, share with me my grief at the recollection of the irreparable loss recently sustained by the duchy of Posen, and with it by all Poland, in the death of Gus tavus Potworowski, late deputy to the Prussian Chambers at Berlin. He departed this life just as he was about to receive the highest of honours, a testimony of gratitude from his fellow-countrymen. God withheld this human reward, and left him the glory of unrewarded merit. May God grant that, in his last hour of expectation and trial, no Pole may have to reproach himself either with a feverish, senseless rashness, or what is worse, an indifferent and guilty carelessness ; but rather that each of us, like Gus tavus Potworowski, may be able to say conscientiously to his own heart, with an unutterable sense of consolation, these precious words : "I, too, have served my fatherland with all my heart, with all my strength, and through all my life." [Advertisement.] 2HE OTTOMAN LOAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Siu,—The concessionaires of the loan contracted by the Government of his Majesty the Sultan consider themselves bound to exhibit the situation of the Ottoman Empire from a political, administrative, commercial, and financial point of view, in order to enable the public to estimate from a knowledge of facts the resources and guarantees offered by this empire, which up to the present time has remained almost a stranger to the benefits of the European system of credit. TNE POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONDITION OF TNN OTTOMAN EMPIRE. A somewhat confused idea generally prevails in Europe respecting this country, which at divers epochs has played a considerable part in the history of the world, and for which the future yet reserves a brilliant destiny. Respecting the Ottoman Empire many errors and preju dices have obtained credence, and have in a great measure caused it to be forgotten that this empire contains the most fertile provinces and the most frequented ports in Europe. Nowhere perhaps does there exist such a fruitful source of natural wealth, and no person can predict the degree of prosperity to which this empire must attain at the period, now near, when the cutting of the Isthmus of Suez will re-establish the ancient route from India to Arabia, Asia Minor, and the Egean Sea, and when the East will be united to the West by steam both on land and sea. Placed in a singularly advantageous position for serving as a bond between the East and the West, the Ottoman Empire occupies in Europe the vast space comprised between the Adriatic, the Black lies, and the Archipelago, while in Asia it comprises the whole of the territory between the Black Sea, the Archipelago, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf—that is to say, magnificent countries whose immortal memory is consecrated both by secred and profane history. It may be added that the population of these provinces is more than thirty millions of souls. Thus, whether the ex tent, the population, or the geographical situation of the Ottoman Empire be regarded, or whether its powerful pro duction or the fertility of its soil be taken into consideration, one is struck by its grandeur, and is sensible of the prodi gious resources which it contains. But precisely because the Ottoman Empire extends over immense territories inha bited by the most diverse populations, the question is asked, how has it been able to establish and maintain its domina tion in Europe, notwithstanding the difference of traditions, manners, language, and religion, and above all, notwith standing the small number of Ottomans compared with that of Christians. The reply to this question comprises the whole secret of the duration of the Ottoman Empire. It is to be found in the moderation of the government, which has allowed the laws and usages of the Christian populations to subsist ; for in this vast empire strangers are only amenable to their. ambassadors and consuls. The Greek Christians are amen able to their patriarch, and the Latin Christians can invoke the special protection of France. An administration so divided cannot certainly be proposed as a model, since the majority of the population of this empire evade the supervision and control of the imperial. authority. But we are forced to acknowledge that for this multiplicity of jurisdictions and powers to have worked re gularly for more than 400 years, proves that the adminis tration must have been more tolerant than is supposed. It must be acknowledged also that the Ottoman Empire is endowed with great vitality, since, during four centuries, it has supported a political and administrative state of things which, in any other state in Europe, would in a few years result in the dissolution of social order. THE COMMERCE OF THE EMPIRE. Turkey possesses great natural riches, but few manufac tures. Its commerce and its industry, easy of develop ment be it understood, cannot enter into comparison with those of the great nations of Europe. From the extent of the annual importations i n to the market of Constantinople it must, nevertheless, be acknow ledged that commercial life is yet very active. The following is an account of those importations Merchandise from England l4O millions of francs. Ditto ditto Fra4ce f) „ Germany ,f 1, „ Italy ~ ,1 ~ Switzerland lO 1, ~ Belgium 7, s, Holland Total ................ 225 millions of francs. Two mass of European produce is absorbed by local ton sumption ; Upper Roumelia, the right bank of the Danube, the Moldo-Wallachian Principalities, Anatolia, Kurdistan, Georgia, &c. As regards the maritime movement, the position of Con stantinople, the key of the world, is so marvellous that this city is at the present time the third commercial port in Europe—a fact too much ignored. From its importance it ranks immediately after Liverpool and London, just be fore Marseilles. It is known that the port of Liverpool shows an annual movement of about 30,000 vessels, measuring 8,000,00 0 tons, including the coasting trade._ Well, in 1859, a normal year, in which there was no ex traordinary movement of transports, the port of Constanti nople had an ingress and egress of 27,029 vessels, measur ing 5,060,526 tons. This is almost double the movement at Marseilles in 1858. The value of such maritime activity in Turkey will be better understood on considering that the total movement of the navigation in all the French ports does not exceed 8,600,000 tons. 111. FINANCIAL ORGANISATION OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. If the political and administrative system of the Ottoman Empire offers a curious physiognomy, its aspect becomes still more surprising when the conditionuf this vast em pire is examined from a financial point of view, particularly with respect to taxation. A It may be said, on thilkead, that far from being an ex. hausted country, the Ottoman Empire is the least bur dened of all states. In fact the taxation varies from 5 to 2f per cent., and, in fine, its importance is but from 275,000,000 to 300,000,000 for a population of 30,000,000, or 10 fr. per head. Now, the taxation in England is 55 fr. per head ; and in Austria, 30 fr., &c. Moreover, the Ottoman Empire is exempt from those enormous debts which encumber other states. Without wishing to enter here into the detail of the dif ferent taxes, it will be sufficient to make known with what equity and moderation they are imposed. The principal of these taxes, the verghi, or direct land tax, which forms, after the tithes and the customs, the most important part of the public revenue, is apportioned by the principal inhabi tants of the localities without then intervention of the go vernment, and according to the position, the means, and the fortune of each, as well as according t. the revenue from the property. Agriculturists have the right of discharging the imposts either in money or kind. They may pay the impost on cereals according to the number of sheaves, or by weight, as they prefer. The tax-payers in this strange country thus possess faci lities and immunities for the acquittal of the imposts that no European government either could or dared grant. In order to simplify the administration and reduce the charges of the state, the greater part of the revenues are farmed to some of the inhabitants of each district. This farming privilege is publiely awarded at the Ministry of Finance on the lst (13th) of March in each year. Every farmer is bound to have securities at Constantinople of un doubted solvency, and who are responsible for punctuality of payment. This payment is thus effected. The farmers regulate their accounts during their year of office by means of monthly bills, delivered and signed by their securities at Constantinople. No instance has ever occurred of one of these bills having been dishonoured. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. The financial condition of the Ottoman Empire exhibits the peculiarity of having during a period of four centuries, that is to say, from 1453 to 1853, presented the phenomenon of a state which discharged its total expenses with the ordi nary receipts without any increase of taxation. And let it not be imagined that the yield of taxation was irregular. On the contrary, the law is explicit on this point. It inter dicts any augmentation, and grants to all the members of the Ottoman nationality the right of controlling and super. vising all the expenditure. It is only from the date of 1854 that the balance between the receipts and the expenses was disturbed by the extraor dinary expenses of the war in the East, and that, as a con sequence, the Ottoman Empire was obliged to have recourse to the system of loans. And yet the sum total of all these loans is only 325,000,000 f., an amount which indicates neither prodigality nor disorder on the part of the Turkish Empire. Of all the states of Europe the Ottoman Empire is there fore the only one that is not loaded with a heavy public debt. If its credit is not developed, it is because its loans are of recent date; because there has been no opportunity of clearly exhibiting its financial situation; and finally, because the banking-houses to whom the negotiation of the Rentes (titres de rente) of this empire was entrusted have not paid sufficient attention to the reorganisation of its finalises. This reorganisation, now in preparation, is really very easy for a state which possesses such great resources, and which, so to speak, has no debts, since altogether they are limited to a total of, 774,000,000 f. The debt of the Turkish Empire, like that of most other states, is divided into the exterior and interior debts, into consolidated and floating debt. The following is an exact statement of these debts as obtained from sources which may be termed official : THE EXTERIOR DEBT. The exterior debt, contracted since 1854, to meet the expenses of the war in the Crimea, represents, after deducting the redemption Francs. already effected, a capital of VI. After having exposed, as exactly as possible, the financial situation of the Ottoman Empire, and before indicating the. guarantees furnished by the Government of his Imperial Majesty, it remains to point out the character and the ob ject of this loan. An example borrowed from the financial history of Eu rope in these recent years will clearly elucidate the idea that has influenced the contractors. Four years ago the Queen of Spain had just dissolved the Cortes and summoned Marshal Narvaez to the Presidency of It w as t that tf one Alin o i f s t t he ersc.onAtrtacttoharts, m ver . y m m ir o e m s, e w n as t a bad harvest I n ce c t r i h l eals was producing an uneasiness that furth e r aggravated the general and political state of the country. sum moned to Madrid by the intermediation of an influential personage, and was put in communication with Marshal Narvaez for the negotiation of a loan. He found at Madrid something analogous to what was met with at Constan. tinople—that is a commercial situation little developed,. w hich gave but few outlets to capital, and left the bankers scarce ly any other custom than that of the government. It will be understood, in short, that when .commercial and industrial affairs do not offer sufficient aliment to capi talists, they turn away from their natural mission to pursue the path which offers them greater and more immediate ad vantage. The Spanish government was desirous of making a loan at that period, not only to pay for the grain it was buying in different ports of the Med iterranean, but also to pay the in terest of the public debt. The Madrid bankers were aware of these embarrassments and .re. 7,:.• not: willing to facilitate , • the loan further than within the urgent & L.,. • t i ......reasury. that damaged its credit and obliged it to PLY a Ten' high There resulted to the governme nt a p recarious situation, interest (10 and 12 per cent.) for the smallest sums fur nished by the bankers. This situati on is exactly. that oi the Ottoman government. • M. Mires was struck with the danger that such a state of things plisented to the prosperity of Spain, and in confer ence with Marshal Narvagz and M. Barmanallana. then Mi.e• ulster of Finances, he offered to remedy it, by taking the entire balance of the loan of two millions of reels authorised by the Cortes. This balance consisted of 800 millions of reale. This was the basis of the loan of which he obtained the con cession, and the realisation of whisk may be said to have been the point of departure for the ascending period into which Spain has entered. The large resources placed by that loan at the disposal of the Spanish government gave a. spring to its credit, and the Spanish Three per Cents., which were at 36f. in 1866, are now at 51f. Such is the object that was attained in Spain, such is that pursued at Constantinople. The contractors could make a loan for a more restricted figure than that at which they have stopped, but then the Ottoman Em pire would not be with sufficient resources to withdraw from circulation the paper money which clogs commercial enterprise, nor to extinguish the greatest part of its floating debt, nor lastly to escape f rom the exi g encies of A few bankers. The contractors have done still more. By an agreement concluded with the directors of the Bank of Turkey, they' have insured to that institutio n g reat advantages, by facili etaretrt. for T h it ey so ar m e e eimreapothigrtanat ilhaoperanctiialonseeuislieptalany for public Ottoman works and the construction of railways. AireadY the con cession of the railway from Constantiiople to Adrianople is demanded by a powerful company of capitalists and bankers. In fine, everything leads to the presumption that the reali sation of this loan will be the dayspring of a new era for the Ottoman Empire, just as the Spanish loan has been one of the causes of the development of prosperity in the Iberian. peninsula. VII. THE GUARA.NTEES FOR THE LOAN. Although the rank of the Ottoman Empire in Europe's its immense resources, and tho relatively small amount of ital debt, offer to capitalists absolute security and great advan-e tapes, the contractors, however, felt it incumbent on them, though it appeared unnecessary, to demand specialguaran tees beyond the general assignment of all the revenues of the empire. These guarantees have been accorded with the greatest sincerity and the most perfect good faith ; they do not depend upon contingent revenues, susceptible of reduc tion, but on the surest and mos t im p ortant returns, for they are all farmed, and easy of reali sation. Their anaount greatly exceeds the sum necessary for the payment of the interest and for the redemption of t he loan in a period of 36 Vars. Whatever might be the conviction of the contractors unon the really favourable financial condition of Turkey, they felt compelled to take into consideration the errors propagated against the Ottoman Empire, and it is with the object of combating and destroying these errors that, independently of the guarantees accorded, they have demanded and ob tained the formation of an international commission com posed of distinguished men. This commission of 12 members, resident at Constanti nople, Paris, and London, is deputed to supervise the re turn of the revenues assigned in guarantee, and the regular payment in Paris and London of the interest and redemp tion of the loan. It is on those members of this commission resident at Constantinople that will naturally fall the most useful task,. viz., that of superintending the returns of the revenues given as guarantee. It will, therefore, be of service to announce their personal situation, because it is precisely this which has determined the choice of which they have been the object. The members resident at Constantinople are The Marquis de Plceuc, inspector of the Finances of France, sent on a mission to Constantinople, at the request of the Ottoman government, to co-operate in the financial reorganization, and in this capacity member of the Superior Council of the Finances of the Ottoman Empire. M. David Glavani, banker at Constantinople, and the highest and most honourable of the financial notabilities of the empire. Mr. Ch. S Hanson, banker, one of the censors of the Ottoman Bank at Constantinople, and brother of one of the directors of the Bank of England. Mr. Ch. Arland, one of the principals of the house of Arland, G. Court and Co., and a partner of the special commissioner of tho Ottoman government for the loan. Members residing in London : The direction of the Bank of Turkey, composed of— Russell Ellice, Esq., of the firm of Roberts, Lubbock, and Co. Willi a m Gladstone, Esq., of the firm of Thomson, Boner, and Co. H. G. Gordon, Esq., of the Oriental Bank. M. E.:Rodoeanachi, Esq., of tke firm of Rodocanachi Sons, and Co.

After having summarily exhibited the general situation of the Ottoman Empire, and the finan cial considerations which have determined the contractors to un dertake this oan, they have the right to add that, wh ilst seeking advantages for tho interests they represen t, they further believe they will be useful to the g reat Europe:az f a mily by contributing to the prosperity of an empire so necessary to the equili brium of all States, an d the integnty of which has been assured by the concurrence of the Gre Great Western Powers when they admitted the Ottoman.

To appreciate the insignificance of such a debt far an empire like that of Turkey, it is sufficient to remember that the debt of England exceeds twenty milliards, that the Austrian debt is about 5 milliards, &c., and that the propor tion between the amount of the interest to be paid by those states and their ordinary revenues varies from 30 to 40 per cent. BUDGET OP RECEIPTS AND EXPENSES. The administration of the finances of the Turkish Em pire is entrusted to a superior council, under the presidency of his highness Mehemet Ruschdi Pasha. The imperial government, desiring to effect great reforms in its finances, has requested the collective information of the European Powers. In order to satisfy this desire the French and Austrian governments have entrusted the mis sion of studying and organising the financial administration of the Turksh Empiro to The Marquis do Plo3uc, Inspector of French Finances ; M. Devauz, id. ; and M. Lachanbacher, Aulic Councillor of the Austrian Era- pire. - These distinguished functionaries have beer, attached to the Superior Council of Finances s ittin g at receiptsConstartinople; and it is with their concu rrence that the budgets of . and expenditure of the Turkish Emp ire are being P " ? 3 r h e i d l e This arduous labour will be concluded shortly. an approximate estimate can be made of expenses as resulting from the present state otttithee• total the Recent publications have already mad e mown . o crept in ; thus, for of these budgets, but sonic errors h _ roc , M t a Pf e . w and have the debt at only 600 example, they have stated the amoun already shown, 774 millions, while it really reaches, mil lions. But without stopping favourable to the Turkish government/ " valuations, at these evidently the contractors con sider a frank expos ition due to the public, and they cannot do better than hero insert an extract from a note emanating from a source that may be termed official : " Tho explanations with which I furnish you on the finan cial situation and the budgets of Turkey, although not hay in, the official exactitude that I should have wished to give them, are nevertheless sufficiently approximate to afford a judicious estimate. I will add in a more positive manner, that the budgets for the years 1855 and 1856 are balanced by an excess of receipts amounting to about six millions of francs. In 1857 the excess reached nearly 25 millions francs. During 1858 and 1859 the results were different, but the cause was principally due to financial operations which did not produce the results that the imperial govern ment had reason to expect. For the future, however, thanks to the integral withdrawal of the paper money, and in consequence of thedevelopment of publieprosPerity, the budget will be balanced by an excess of receipts. The receipts and expenditure of the Turkish empire are approxi mately as follows : " The produce of all the taxes amounts to between 275,000,000 f. and 300,000,000 f. , about " The budget of expenditur e onl y amount. to 258,900,000 f. debts only "Ifit is considered that the int erest of all the t. ofthe - amount; to 4 5 ,000,00 0 f., or about 16 per oa total t PUiILICATIONS.
