L a roust letter I mentioned the increased extent
to whisk the abases thus complained of by the Ports
have bees perpetrated by the Russian agents along
the south meat of the Black Sea. In the came of
Russia the object of such unwarrantable practices is
dear enough ; but, though neither our own Govern-
' meet nor that of Louis Napoleon can harbour mach
designs, this insolent custom of giving " passports
and patents of protection " to natives of the country
has been, and is, nearly as prevalent amongst
British and French consuls as amongst the sgenta
of the Czar. The corruption to which it has given
is. is beyond belief ; for no Rayah who can afford
to pay for this exercise of consular usurpation need
be long without the immunity it confers. The privi-
lege of exempting any native from the operation of
the local laws had its origin in the " captalatioas "
—the generous intention of the Salta° being
• • to extend the favour in question to every
tnative in the actual service of a foreign Embassy
sr Consulate. Very soon, however, the immunity
easeed to be confined to the bosh fade servants of
these authorities; dragotnacio relatives to the '
11th degree gradually came to share in it; till at
i length nearly every natural-born subject of
..... thy Porte who chooses to pay the needful
amount of gilded adulation in the proper quarter
may snap his fingers at Pasha and Cadi together.
.•
Away from the capital, where these abuses are not
Urso shamelessly practised, I have seen much of
Ur disgraceful injustice resulting from this comelier
habit of setting at nought the proper authority and
~ rights of the Government ; and from that expo-
hence (as from much other not less unflattering to
ear consular agents throughout the provinces)
. r 1, for one, earnestly hope that the pro-
. : jetted reconstruction of our whole consular
system will at once and for ever put an end to abuses
fraught with such mischief to oar national character.
