THAT the gallant garrison of ISIS has been obliged
to surrender without even one attempt to relieve it is
manly attributable to the French and English
Governments. Lord PALYZINTON, when the COO-
voodoo by which the French and English Govern-
ments *greed to guarantee the Turkish Loan was
ander discussion in the House of Common.,
es the 20th of Jely, declared:—" It is my per
conviction that if we rebore to give to
Turkey those additional means which she requires for
the maintenance of her army, the consequences will
be most calamitous." The reason he assigned for his
conviction was, that any delay in helping the Turkish
Genre went to obtain a loan "would be etessied
with the most disastrous eoesegelano
regard to military operations." In other meek
his lordship was of opinion that until Wow
got the loan, she could not send her armies into the
field is an efficient cooditioo. Parliament listened to
Lord PALNUISTON—the Convention was ratified—the
loan was contracted. Bat at the present moment no
Ism than 2,500,6004 of the 4,000,0001. already paid
by the subscribers to the Turkish Loan are Wog idle
in the Bank of, England. Of the remaining 1,500,0004
600,0001. were' handed over to the Messrs. Rotas-
CHILD in repayment of an advance; 600,0001. were
remitted to Constantinople about the close of August,
bat did not come into the hands 01 ate Turkish,
Government till the 28th of Nevember ; and
400,0001. may by this time have rescind Con-
stantinople, but when they will be paid into
the SULTAN'S exchequer no one an tell. The
greater part of the loan, without which the
Turkish Government could not put its armies in
motion, has been paid up; but of the five millions the
Turkish Government has only received four hundred
thousand. The Turkish Government is fairly enti-
tled to say that the withholding of the money has
prevented it from bringing up its armies to relieve
Kan. The delay in paying over the money appears
to be occasioned solely by the red•tapist impediments
presented by the Cominiadosters at Constantinople
who have been charged to see that the money is
applied to its legitimate objects. The Commission
insist upon the observance of formalities, perfectly
familiar in this our Western world, but with which
Orientals are entirely anscquainted, of which they
Gannet see the use, and to which they can-
not be brought to conform. It does appear that We
pedantic adherence to Western practice on the part
of the Commission is sacrificing essentials to matters
of mere form. Granted that the unbesinces-like
procedure of the Turin, and the propensity to pecula-
tion of Turkish officials, may came a good part of the
loan tab. wasted, is it not better that this should be
the ease, than that the Turkish armies should retook
inactive, because the Turkish Government cannot get
the money, for the use of which it must pay ? Has
there bean no blundering, no misappropriation d
bads destined to the ems of the war, in ilex
land I. Are the French and English Gwen-
meats entitled to insist upon an Utopian purity
and wisdom on the part of the Turkish, which,
if their own secoants were daftly looked into, would
be Lead to be no characteristim of their own ma-
segment? if the Turkish Government had received
in dee time the instalments of its loan that have been
paid up, much might have been squandered, but
enough of it would have been spent on the soldiers
to render the relief of Kars possible.
The Western Powers, by constantly interfering
with, and dictating to, the Divan—by treating its
members like children or people issegable of
managing their own affairs—are playing the pineal
Russia. They are forcing upon the Turks a eseivie-
don that, by calling in the sid of the Western
Powers, they have only changed masters; that they
have reduced themselves to the plight et the horse in
the fable, who allowed the man to bridle and saddle
him in order to snap him en the stag; or the
gardener, who invited the boatsmen and hounds to
eater his garden and kill the bare that nibbled hie
cabbages.
When we impute to the Esglish and Frond; Go-
vernments, "conjointly mad separately," the blame
for the garrison at Kan having been driven to sur-
render, we have no desire to emends that by far the
greater part of the responsibility attaches to our own
Government. If French officers had been employed
to conduct the defence of Kars, there can be no doubt
that the EMPEROR would have strained every serve
to tissue their safety. But he did sot feel the emir
anxiety to watch over the security of Englidt officers,
aid our own Government has been as apathetie as he.
The English Government, which sent Gomel Wit.
wan and his gallant staff to Kars, ought to have
sued for their safety. The English Goverment
ought to have iodated that the Turkish should
have tech supplies of wog (out of its own loan)
as would leave it without MOOS for not seating
troops to the relief of Bars. The English Govern-
ment ought to h►ve sent its own Turkish Contingent
and Beshi-Basonks, who have been dsiag nothing
but mischief the whole rummer, to aid in relieving
