ADDRESS TO THE OPERATIVE MANUFACTU RERS AND AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS IN ' GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Industry, properly directed, is the foundation of wealth in human society; or in other words, know ledge and industry are the sources of all wealth, except that ►vhich the earth spontaneously produces. You have now more persevering industry than is to be found, probably, among any other portion of the human race. You obtain less wealth, and are subject to more care and anxiety than any other class. It follows, that you are deficient in knowledge, or these effects could not exist. Your skill and in dustry, rightly directed, are sufficient to produce more wealth than you could beneficially use, and to enable you to have your children educated to make them superior, physically and mentally, to any of the present generation. But, to direct your skill and industry aright, you require knowledge of a superior description to any that has, yet been given to you; and, above all things, you should endeavour to obtain this know ledge, for it will enable you to discover the neces- sity for union of mind and action to relieve you from the difficulties by which you are surrounded. And it will also discover to you the impossibility of being united in mind and action, while you shall be compelled to live under a system, the foundation of which is an error, forced from infancy into the minds of the whole population, in direct opposition to every known fact. In consequence of this error, you have been trained in a system•of deception, and in bad or in ferior habits; and thus have been made the lower class in society, although you are the actual pro ducers of all the wealth which is consumed in the British empire, and much that is consumed by the population of many other districts, in distant parts of the world; and yet by this system you are pre vented from producing more than a very small part, "probably not one- tenth of the real wealth which your present skill and industry, rightly directed, would enable you to bring into existence. such, then, is the necessity for you to acquire knowledge, to relieve you from the system which has placed you under such unfavourable circum stances, and which has afflicted you with so many calamities. You, and the existing population of the world hare been compelled to become irrational in your thoughts and actions, and hence the misery and vicious character not only of your class, but of the human race. This irrational character has been created, by all receiving the impressions from infancy that they possess the power to feel and to think as they please, although as coon as an unprejudiced judg ment can be applied to the subject, it becomes evi dent that there never existed one single fact to prove the supposition thus formed and steadily main tained in the human mind, through all ages which have passed. . . . . It is this error which has created universal dis union among the human race. It is this error which now keeps you in bondage to your employers ; to the non-producing classes, and to all the vicious cir cumstances which have necessarily arisen from the system of society founded on this error. Try to feel differently from what you are forced to feel ; try to think differently from the conviction which you are compelled to receive, and the impos sibility of effecting either, will break the spell pro duced by this most calamitous of all errors. Your mental chains will he slur asunder; you will com mence a new existence, and the road to the highest win ties and most permanent happiness will be straight before you, and most easy of attainment. Acquire the knowledge which this simple expe riment will give, and you will soon attain moral courage sufficient to enable you to look with pity upon those who, through the effects of this error, have been compelled to oppress you, even upon those who may be engaged at this moment in active measures to endeavour to rivet more securely those chains by which they suppose you are held in bondage to them. The invaluable knowledge which you 01 thus acquire, will destroy all germs of anger and desire of revenge, and it will fill you with compassion for your oppressors and opponents. You will at once perceive the cause of the malady which urges them on to the destruction of their own happiness, and the well-being of all their fellows ; and you will have no other feeling but a desire to remove the cause of their malady, and to do them all the good in your power. But you will have no merit for this conduct, because the knowledge which you will acquire, by the means recommended, will compel you thus to feel, to think, and to act. A new day will arise upon you, in which there will be no desire on the part of any to oppress or to offend; and every one will be, of necessity, filled with charity and kindness for all his race. Be not afraid that this change in human affairs will not be now accomplished; for there are none to oppose its progress, except for a little time, because it vill be discoNered to be for the interest of all that it should be now effected. It will benefit every one from the highest to the lowest; nor is there now any power in mat►, whatever inclination may exist, to stay its course, except for a short period. Truth will henceforward take the place which error has occupied in directing the transactions of the world : sincerity will supersede deception, virtue rice, and happiness misery. Acquire this knowledge of the laws of yotir nature; spread it widely among your class; teach it to your children; wait calmly and patiently; but be of good courage,, and you will see what great things will be accomplished without force or vio lence, for you and all mankind. ROBERT OWEN. 49, Bedford-equare, January, 1830. EMIGRATION. We have been favoured with a series of papers from the capital of Nova Scotia, which contain a variety of interesting intelligence relative to emigration. The following are extracts " We hope shortly to be able to lay before the public a statement of what has been done during the past season, towards the emigratin population from th e M o ther Country. Thi s t statement, should we have it in our power to complete it, will, we are inclined to believe, prove highly satisfactory. The number of Emi grants who have landed at this port during the summer has been unusually great, and may be fairly estimated at 17,000 or 18,000, includings children, not always returned among the pas sengers. Of these there were 10,000 and. up wards from Ireland, 3,300 from England, and 2,500 from Scotland, including children. Of those persons, the total settled in this province is 3,500 ;in Upper Canada, 8,000. The re mainder are supposed to be scattered through the United States, and many, as; experience has shown,may,,be: ex.peeted batik agaiii tirbe come, hereafter, profitable settlers in the Canadas. It may be remarked, in this place, that the greater number of those who have passed through the provinces to settle in the United States are Englishmen ; and we should deeply regret the truth of this fact, were it not easy to account for it, by the success with which the efforts of American speculators have been seconded by their agents in the country parts of England, and by the little information as yet disseminated there respecting the advantages and capabilities of these provinces. It appears certain that the Canadas - stand at present in much !lighter estimation with our Scottish and Irish brethren than with Englishmen, who, however, emigrate in fewer numbers than either of the former. With re spect to actual settlement near Quebec, we are happy to state that in various situations in the vicinity of Craig's-road, and in other parts of this district, there have been located (to use a word generally adopted) three hundred and fifty families, of whom seventy-five have settled in the township of Inverness. The capital Possessed by these settlers is fairly estimated at 25,0001. Notwithstanding the unusual influx of strangers (luring the stunner, it is worthy - of remark that the number of unemployed poor is by no means proportionably in creased. On the contrery, we have good reason to believe that Quebec and its neighbourhood were never more free from this burthen than at the present moment. The facility with which locations are now obtained is one cause, and amply sufficient, alone, to account for it. There has been a pretty general . error in imagining that the settlers who arrive from Europe are al most universally paupers. Hence has arisen the coldness with which the mere influx of numbers, without capital, has been viewed by persens who otherwise h a d th e we lf are o f t h ese provinces much at heart. During the late season, our inquiries have led us to a perfectly different conclusion. It is a bold thing to say, but strong ground exists fbr believing that the amount of capital brought into the province by the settlers of the season will not fall short of 150,0001. Various instances have come to our knowledge where emi g rants have possessed in cash from one hundred to one hundred and twenty pounds. The party headed by a Mr. Jones, and who arc now settled in Upper Canada, brought with them 20,0001. in cash. Two in had, the one fourteen, and the other, whose name we have forgotten, and echo arrived in the ship Clarkson, dabs. weight of sovereigns. Many officers on the half-pay of the army an d navy , brought with them considerable sums. The benefit to the provinces by the progress of emigration and new settlements, without any visionary idea, must be considered of vast import ance. When we regard the increased number of persons arriving, aid remaining as settlers in the province—the money expended by them, and the capital they possess ; the favourable con dition of the working proportion ; the few un employed and unproductive poor, notwithstand ing so large an influx of emigra nta; and the great extent of settlement, even in this district it is impossible to deny that the prospect is cheering, and the consequences to be anticipated highly interesting and satisfactory. In every part of the province, opinion seems to have changed to a decidedly favourable direction, an d emigration and new settlements, forte - telly viewed with suspicion or indifference, now excite feel ings the most liberal and inspiriting. Land has advanced in value, in various proportions, but still has advanced. In the line of the Craig's Road, it has increased 50 per cent., and in Sio ncram and Tewsbury more than double. Look ing at the operations of the summer, it would be an act of injustice to pass over the indefatigable exertions of the gentleman appointed by the Itn perial Government to reside here as agent for settlers and emigrants. We are far from saying that his labours, which are known to have been freely bestowed, have alone produced the effects we have above alluded to ; but we may say, without any .fear of contradiction, that they have materially promoted the present state of things, as restards emigration and new settlements in the Canadas. " INDIANA.—The emigration to Indiana during the present fall has been unparalleled. Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather for some time past, and the extreme badness of the roads,- moving families are yet seen in consider able numbers, all bound fbr the Wabash. The principal part of those who have passed through this place are settling in the district around La Fayette. A person in Centreville, Indiana, has counted 700 moving waggons, passing through one street in that place within little more than two months, and it is supposed that 300 more passed through in the same time by another road. Upwards of 18,000 dollars was received at the ,Land-office at Indianopolis, during the month of October, and it is stated that the amount received at Crawfordsville within the same time is still greater." The passage through:the Regent's Canal has been kept open during the frost by means of ice-boaks o the sharp prows of which have been propell,d with such force as to break through every obstacle.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesturdly a private in the Coldstream Guirdi, named Curry, was. placed at the bar, charged with baying stolen a quantity of straw plat, the property of a publican in Chandos-street, named Austin. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was com mitted for further examination. Last night Elizabeth Spinks was charged by Mr. Rhodes, proprietor of the Coal-hole Tavern, in the Strand, with having stolen a twenty-pound note, the property of a gentleman who slept a few nights ago in that house. The prisoner, it appeared, has been occiasionany employed by Mr. Rhodes as a charwoman. On 'Tuesday night a gentleman, who had drank rather net ly in the house, was prevailed upon by the pro prietor to take a bed up stairs. The prisoner and one of the waiters assisted him to the bed-room. The next morning he missed the note in question, but the prisoner denied all knowledge of it. It was discovered, - however, in the course of yesterday, that 3116 had been making inquiries at her lodgings in Bull Inn-court, respecting a bank note for 201. which she alleged she had lost.- A servant girl in the houtei — named Eliza Cleeson, wa.; seen by the landlord early yesterday morning to pick up a piece of paper on the stairs, which, he said, had all the appearance of a bank-note. The girl, however, when brought forward last night, denied all know ledge of the circumstance; and the prisoner re-as serted her entire innocence of the robbery. tier room, however, had been searched in the course of the slay, and, although no trace could he discovered of the bank-note, a decanter belonging to Mr. Rhodes was found in the prisoner's box. Sir R. BIRNIE observed, it was more dial; pro bable that the prisoner had either stolen the note or picked it up in the gentleman's bed-room, and afterwards dropped it in her own lodging, where the girl Cleeson found it. The prisoner was then remanded, and Elizabeth Cleeson was also committed to prison for further examination. LA M ETIL STU E ET. A young man named TVillianz Meecham was yes terday brought before Mr. WALKER, charged with stealing a watch, and other property, value 161., the property of John Fife. The prisoner, upon being iislied if he had any thing to say-, replied, that he confessed to committing the robbery, that he had got into bad company, and that it was a girl who incited him to do it. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Two men, named John Smith alias Stratford Jack and James Godfrey, two notorious bad characters, were yesterday brought heti:ire Mr. WALKER, by a Whitechapel watchman, on suspicion of having com mitted a robbery. John Hearn, the watchman, on Wednesday night, or rather Thursday morning, at half-past two o'clock, was going along Red Lion -street, Whitechapel, when he observed the two prisoners carrying a bundle. Knowing them to be bad characters, he stopped them, and found a cloak and other articles in the bundle they were carrying. They refused to give any account of where they got the property. On being questioned by Mr. WALKER, Smith said that the cloak belonged to his wife. A woman who called herself. his wife here came foniard, but did not know that the prisoner had any thing belonging to her. Mr. WALKER said, that they were very bad cha racters, and the probability was, that they had stolen the cloak ; he should, therefore, commit them for two months each to the House of Correction. John C'ook and Maria Cook were yesterday re. examined on a charge of robbing their ready-fur nished lodgings, and fully committed for trial. Mr. North, one of the overseers of Mile-end Old town, yesterday appeared before the sitting Magis trates, Messrs. WALKEU, HARDWICK, awl WYATT, accompanied by another gentleman, and stated, that in consequence of the great pressure of business, and the illness of two of the overseers, he wished the gentleman to be admitted to serve as overseer. Mr. North said, they had at present 1,300 pau pers, and that they gave out every day blankets and soup to them, but that in consequence of the illness of two of the overseers, the three that were left found it quite impossible to get through with the business, and they therefore requested the Magis trates' permission to put the gentleman who accom panied him into the situation. Mr. .1-IARDwicK said, it was the entire fault of the parish that they had so many paupers. They held out to every man that he had the parish to go to, and thereby deadened all his exertions. Mr. North hoped that the Magistrates would con sent to this gentleman being admitted as overseer, for the three overseers left, were actually unable to get through the business they had done so since last September, and they were really tired of it. Messrs. HARDWICK and WALKER said• this was an additional reason for their refusal, since, as the three overseers had done the business since Sept., they certainly could do it six weeks longer, and ad vised Mr. North, if the paupers behaved in the out rageous manner he had stated again, to bring them before them, and they would punish them. Mr. North then thanked the Magistrates, and withdrew. Just as the office was about to be closed, a man named John Brown, alias " Jack the Logger," was brought in, charged with being concerned in the robbery of the Mile-end, Old• town, workhouse. No evidence was, however, adduced, and the pri soner was remanded for a week. LAMBETH.STREET. A man named Thomas Osborne, who foi merly be longed to the Bow-street patrol, was yesterday brought, for re•examivatiou, before Mr. HARDWICK, charged with stealing a watch and seals, the pi operty of Silmnel Wade, and 'discharged for rant of evi denre. A woman, whose husband was last week com mitted to prison for defrauding the parish of Bromley, yesterday applied for relief from the same parish. The overseer, Mr. Townsend, said that the fact was, that the woman was determined to punish the parish for punishing her husband, and she was de termined to get into the house at any price. The parish officers, however, were determined to give her no more relief than what they gave to other persons in the same situation; and as to taking her into the house, it was quite out of the question.

" You will allow that the rendering skins insoluble in water by combining with them the astringent principle of certain vegetables is a chemical invention, and that without leather our shots, our carriages, our equipages w,ould be very ill made ; you will permit me to say that the bleaching and dying of wool and silk, cotton and flax are chemical processes, and that the conversion of them into different clothes is a mechanical invention; that the working of iron, copper, tin, and le-ad, and the other metals, and the combining them in different alloys by which almost ail the instruments necessary for the turner, the joiner, the stone-mason, the ship builder, and the smith, arc made, are chemical nventions; even the press, to the influence of which I am disposed to attribute as much as you can do, could not have existed in any state. of perfection without a metallic alloy ; the com bming of alkali and sand, 'and certain clays and flints together to form glass and porcelain, is a chemical process ; the colours which the artist employs to frame resemblances of natural ob jects, or to mate combinations more beautiful than ever existed in nature are derived from chemistry; in short in every branch of the com mon and fine arts, in every department of hum as: industry, the influence of this science is felt, and we may find in the fable of Prometheus taking the flame from Heaven to animate his man of clay an emblem of the effects of fire •in its appli cation to chemical purposes in creating the acti., vity and almost the life of civil society."--Sir Humphrey Davy's Last Days qfa Philosopher. VISIONS OF BLAKE THE ARTIST. To describe the conversations which Blake I held in prose with demons, and in verse wish angels, would fill volumes, and an ordinary gal lery could not contain all the heads which he drew of his visionary visitants. That, all this was real, he himself most sincerely believed ; nay, so infectious was his enthusiasm, that some acute and sensible persons who heard him expatiate, shook their heads, and hinted that he was an extraordinary man, and that there might he some thing in the matter. One of his brethren, an artist of some note, employed him frequently in drawing the portraits of those who appeared to him in visions. The most propitious time fin those " angel-visits" was from nine at night till five in the morning : and so docile were his spiritual sitters, that they appeared at the wish of his friends. Sometimes, however, the shape which he desired to draw was long in appearing, and he sat with his pencil and paper ready and his eyes idly roaming in va cancy ; all at once the vision came upon him, and he began to work like one possest. He was requested to draw the likeness of Sir William Wallace—the eye of . Blake sparkled, for he admired heroes. " William Wallace !" he exclaimed, " I see bins now— there, there, how noble he looks—reach me my things !" Having drawn for some time, with the same care of hand and steadiness of eye, as if a living sitter had been before him, Blake stopt suddenly, and said, " I cannot finish him —Edward the First has stept in between him and me." " That's lucky," said his friend, " for I want the portrait of Edward too." Blake took another sheet of paper, and sketched the features of Plantagenet : upon which this Majesty politely vanished, and the artist finished the head of Wallace. " And pray, Sir," said a gentleman, who heard Blake's friend tell his story—" was Sir William Wallace an heroic looking man ? And what sort of personage was Edward ?" The answer was ; " there they are, Sir, both framed and hanging on the wall behind you, judge for yourself." " I looked (says my informant) and saw two warlike heads of the size of common life. That of Wallace was noble and heroic, that of Edward stern and bloody. The first had the front of a god, the latter the aspect of a demon." The friend who obliged me with these anec dotes, on observing the interest which I took in the subject, said, " I know much about Blake —I was his companion for nine years. I have sat beside him from ten at night till three in the morniag, sometimes slumbering and sometimes waling, but Blake never slept ; he sat with a pencil and paper drawing portraits of those whom I most desired to see. I will show you, Sir, some of these works." He took out a large book filled with drawings, opened it, and con tinued, " Observe the poetic fervour of that face —it is Pindar as he stood a conqueror in the Olympic games. And this lovely creature is Corinna, who conquered in poetry in the same place. That lady is Lais, the courtesan—with the impudence which is part of her profession, she stept in between Blake and Corinna, and he was obliged to paint her to get her away. There ! that is a face of a different stamp—can you conjecture who he is ?" " Some scoundrel, I should think, Sir." " There now—that is a strong proof of the accuracy of Blake—he is a scoundrel indeed ! The very individual task master whom Moses slew in Egypt. And who i 3 'this now—only imagine who this is ?" " Other than a good one, I doubt, Sir." " You are right, it is the Devil—he resembles, and this is rennukable, two men who shall be nameless ; • one is a great lawyer, and the other—l wish I durst name him—is a suborner of false witnesses, This other head now ?—This speaks for itself —it is the head of Herod ; how like an eminent officer in the army !" .He closed the book, and taking out a small panel from a private drawer, said, " this ia the last which I shall show you : but it is the greateq curiosity of all. Only look at the splendour of the colouring and the original character of the thing !" " I see," said I, ". a naked figure with strong body and a short neck—with burning eyes which long for moisture, and a lace worthy of a murderer, holding a bloody cup in its clawed hands, out of which it seems eager to drink. I never saw any shape so strange, nor did I ever see any colouring so curiously splendid-- a kind of glistening green and dusky gold, beautifully varnished, Let what in the world is it e" "It a ghost, Sir—the ghost of a fled---a spiritualiza tion of the thing !" "He saw this in a vision then," I said. " VII tell you all about it, Sir. I called on him one evening, and fiund Blake seen And a d 1 , 7 01 wonderful ful make th i e nz g o h f o::, h t im o ? f a flea ! more than usually exc i te d . H e told me lie had thing —the These stories sre scarcely credible, yet there can be no doubt of their accuracy. Another friend, on whose veracity I have the fullest de pendence, called one evening on Blake, and found him sitting with a pencil and a pane!, drawing a portrait with all the seeming anxiety : of a man who is conscious that he has got a fas tidious sitter ; he looked and drew, and crew and looked, yet no living soul was visible.— " Disturb me not," said he in a whisper, "I have one sitting to me." " Sitting to ycu r exclaimed his astonished visitor, " where is he, and what is he ?—I see no one." " But I see him, Sir," answered Blake haughtily, there he is, his name is Lot ; you may read of ICm the Scripture. He is sitting fur his portrait."— Family Library, No. X. Livcs•qf the Artiste. RECEPTION OF THE RUSSIAN ANIBAS- SADOR AT CONSTANTINOPLE. (From Tuesday's Journal des Debuts ) Letters from Peru, of the 9th of December, in an account, of the reception of his Excellency Lieutenant-General Count Orloff, by the Grand Seignor at Ramis•Tchiflik, some intere,ting derails which we hasten to communicate to our readers. Having officially announced to the Rcis Effernli his intention to remain at Buyoukdere until the day notified to him for his presentation to the Grand Seignor, the Count Orloff was informed; on the `2:i of December, ;hat his audience of reception wee fixed for the 4?h. In consequence he repair, d the Sd to Pera, where he received, an hour after his arrival, the compliments which the Porte is accus tomed to address to the representatives of foreign Sovereigns. It was remarked on this occasion, that instead of sending to him, as is the common prac tice, presents of fruits and sweetmeats by the Dra goman of the Porte, the Reis Effendi gave charge of them to his Chef de Bureau, a personage of much higher rank, and had prepared in haste an apartment at Ramis-Tchiflik to receive the Envoy-.Extreoeli nary of his Imperial Majesty. Count Orloff repaired to it at nine o'clock on the morning of the 4th, accompanied only Ly the Councillor of State Franehini, in quality of !met- Fetes, and two officers of his suite, Captain Ko:ze :rue and Lieutenant Bakhinetie.ff. Two noa-cem missioned officers, one of the regiment of t t e Arrb duke Ferdinand, the other of the corps of Cesseeks of the Don, formed the whole of his escort. Arrived at Ramis-Wank, Count Orloff fount env of the Sultan's aides-de-camp, Avel Bey, who at tended him to the principal entrance. A tow of soldiers paid him military honours ; officers of ranks pressed into the path of his Excellency. Having been introduced into the chamber of the Selictar Agra, Count Orloff found the Reis Effeirii, who after an interchange of polite civilitiee an nounced to him, that the Government had felt it to he its duty to give the necessary orders to the au thorities of Adrianople to give their best assistence to the sick in our military hospital, to let them remain in the town, having for their use the bar racks in which this hospital was established. in receiving this communication, Count Orloff testified to the Reis Effendi how much more agra eable :his notification would be to the Emperor, as it rietic:- pated all his desires, for it was intended to have made a demand upon this subject, and that it only remained for him to address his thanks to the Mi nister of his Highness. This conversation was in terrupted by Aehmet Bey, one of the Sultan's aides de-camp, who went immediately to announce the Count, when his Excellency was then introduced by the Reis Effendi. Count Orloff having bowed in the European manner before the Grand Seignor, advanced to the canopy under which he was seated, and presented the official letter of which the Em • peror had deigned to make him the bearer. The Reis Effendi received it, and falling upon his knees, delivered it to his Highness. When Count Orloff saw it placed in the hands of the Grand Seignor, informed him that he was charged by the Emperov to present this letter as a pledge of his sentiments ; that in intrusting him with this mission, his Mejesty had de;goed to order him to express verbally in his name, how much he desired that the peace has p il e concluded at Adrianople should be a durable one, and thouhl re-establish harmony between the two nations. The Emperor had at heart the forelation of friendly personal relations with the Sultan, and that the desire to nourish these relations of recipro cal amity was one of the principal ohjects of the mission with which he was honoured. Upon which the Sultan replied, through the Reis Effendi, that he received with thanks the Emperor's letter. and the sentiments of fri e ndship w hi c h ac co mp anied it flint since the re-establishment of peace, he braes ito other desire than to preserve it, and that the most strict execution of the concluded treaty would be henceforth the object of all his wishes. The Count Orloff having then made to the Sul. tau a sketch of the happy results which must attend this personal confidence between the Sovereigns, the Sultan replied, that he had given his Mejesty a ma idlest proof of his sentiments by a special embassy to St. Peteisburgh. After having expressed to Grand Seigeor how much the embassy of . 'n e m Pacha was agreeable to the Emperor ; Connt Orloff afterwards delivered his thanks for the t'ostingelehed reception which he had in all reipiacts met in his Highness's dominions, and more particularly for that which he had received at Ramis Tehifliek, as i< w s re in the midst of his Highness's ehildrern—ot: f is ras gular troops, which were of his own proper ele The Sultan, who had at first preserved a grave and serious air, became gradually more animated towards the close of the audience, and condescended to ad dress sonic expressions of personal remembrance to M. de Franehini. He then entered directly into conversation with Count Qrloff, without the intere mediation of the Reie Effeedi. Profiting by theee dispositions, and desiring to discourse upon na object which was agreeable to him. Count Orloff reetored to the remark about the regular troops, fotethe pur pose of praising their mien end rapite improvement. The Sultan, after having expreaeed iris satisfaction at what he heard, hoped that the Count would be equally pleased with the Reis Effendi, After - these remarkable words, which terminated an interview that lasted near an hour, the Count made his how to the Grand Seignor. Upon leaving the hall of audience, tho fount again repaired to the apartment of the,lSel;etar : he was followed to it by the Reis Effendi, by Mustapha Bey, the private secretary, and one of the favourites of the Sultan, and by ahno.it the whole of his Ilgh , neas Aides-de-Camp. When the Count was r,bout to retire, the Reis tjendi announced to him that the Sultan desired at parting he would arcept w: 4 of hie horses, which was then ready saddled e,r4 h,a-nessed, as a mark of his rtgard. After 11.4 , ;-:drg expressed his gratitude for this new dit, - ;:ie•ction which he owed to the auhaii, Coma U. 1.3 'quittcd Rainis•Tchitlik about noon, receiving 0(1 his de parture the aame honours which halA b.equ. paid to him tApon his arrival.
