It was probably to this weighty argument
that Ministers owed their maps from defeat
upon the evening in question. Let us examine
how far their acts have agreed with their words—
law promptly they have applied to the pressing
asonsities of the Ottoman Army the fonds audio-
rind to be raised under Parliamentary guarantee.
We will first adduce a few fads, to which we Mal.
lags contradiction. There is at the present moment
lying in the Bank of England a sum of no less than
2,600,0001., out of the total of 4,000,0001. already paid.
by the subtoribers to the Turkish Loan = some
gutsily these loan fends have as yet been drawn
epos to the extent of only 1,600,0001 for the
service of the Ottoman Government. Of this
WS of 1,600,0001., 600,0001. was handed me
to the Messrs. RovuecttiLfr, in liquidation of
advances previously made by that firm to the Perle,
the Government of the SULTAN having been &koala
each dire straits for want of money that it actual*,
meld not wait for the guaranteed loan, with its ate
companying formalities. The original deposit of
600,0001. upon the new loan was paid into the Bank
on the 22nd of August, and, we admit, was promptly
remitted to Constantinople. But the British peal
will scarcely credit the fact we now mamas% that
this sum of 600,0001., the first proceeds of the heat
did not actually reach the hands of the Turkhk
Torment until the 28th of November. The Odes
man army Wog in a state of sonsimtervations sod
rendered quite ineffective for active opometien,
through a deficiency of clothing, food, and maw of
transport, was it necessary that more than filer j
months should elapse before the officials of England
end France would relax their grasp upon thislimilsi,
amount? Since this 600,0001. was neat (and spit
from the 600,0001. repaid to Messrs. Rornscalizo),
the only farther remittance made on account of the
loan is a sum of 400,0004, despatched in four sopa-
tate amounts of 100,0001. each, in the first week of
the present month. Probably the latter supply has
am now reached Constantinople; bat Hite diddles*
doe be retarded by difficulties similar to themeniddh
prevailed in seeped of the first half milli% ter
SULTAN'S suffering soldiers may have yet to wait
for some months before their wants are relieved. ,
We have no hesitation in saying that this del*
requires explanation. The objects involved are mew
tially important to the vigorous prosecution of the
war. The British portion of the greed Allied Army
of operation being numerically email, England is
making great exertions and sustaining enomens ex-
pense for the enlistment sad equipment of men
drawn by the temptation el • high bounty and good
pay from many parts of the Continent. Is
she toting wisely in seeming to minister
to the wants of the Ottoman troops, who
have given admiring Europe such frequent sad lir
nal proofs of constancy and courage? Let an un-
prejudiced observer gimes at the general military
conduct of the Ottoman forme from the °prolog case
paigu of the war on the Danube down to the genet
action on the river input and the heroic defense of
Kars. Can he fail to some to the ecieciesiou that
these men, properly equipped end allowed. will
prove of the highest vales in a protracted war ?
Fighting for that country and faith against their
hereditary foe, the motives stimulating these tried
soldiers to deeds of endemics and gallantry mud be
mash more powerful than those operating in the
Wads of oar Gorman and other hired recruits. In
point or shapes, too, the Turkish moldier is unri-
valled. He *ants ao bounty, sad will even fight
without pay. Give him merely the seamed sloth-
hog and food, aid be will think himself compare
lively well off. Yet theme are the troops whom
