LETTERS FROM THE SULTAN TO THE
ENGLISH AND FRENCH GENERALS.

The following is a tr;nalation of two autograph
letters recently addressed by the Sultan to the Gene-
rals-in-Chief of the English and French armies :

TO LORD RAGLAN.

My Lord,—The Queen, my august and intimate ally,
sent you to defend my cause—a cause which being el le
just and lawful, become* that of the whole civilised world.
You and the brave army under your command have
responded to the hope entertained by your country and by
me. By your glorious exploits under a trying climate,
you have merited and won universal admiration.
The new feats of arms which you are adding to so many
previous brilliant actions achieved in the Crimea, together
with my soldiers, whom I love as my children, encourage
me in hoping for en early definite result—a result which
will be as glorious for these grist allied nations as were
the events which distinguished the opening of the campaign.
I feel a sentiment of content, so much the purer from the
thought that the war, though a thing so terrible, will have
soma to re-unite my peoples by indissoluble ties, to the
greatest nations of the west.
As long as the noble motive of glory affects the human
heart,—those who have fought in fraternal emulation, those
who have shell their blood together upon a foreign nil, will
not forget the companions they have been wont to regard as
their brothers. That which hitherto has been a scourge for
humanity, will have produced the satisfactory result of
bringing together the peoples whose governments were
already allied, and thus this war will bring the germ of a rich
and durable peace, to show itself in salutary fruits amongst
those nations who desire to appreciate it. _ _

Desiring to offer to the brave combatants of the Crimea
a proof of my lively satisfaction—a public testimony of my
gratitude,—l chugs my aide-de•amp, Gen. Ethos Pasha,
to deliver this letter to you,. I love to think, my lord, that
all the brave officers and soldiers plsoed under your cots-

mend will feel persuaded that we make no distinction be-
tween any of the soldiers who combat for the common
tense, and that the affection which I avow for them
finds an echo in the hearts of all the people of Turkey,—
who love to recognise in them the olden Allies of my
Empire.
I pray God to destine you to the most glorious noses
and to have you in his holy keeping.
