THE SULTAN'S RAP HUMAYONN AND
FIRMAN.

THE HAT HUMAYONN.

"Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish Army, and my
faithful Muchir, Omer Pacha--The noble exertions you
have made on all occasions, up to this very moment,
have gained for you the highest reputation and glory ;
and by the firman attached, you will see that they have
increased my favour towards you. Moreover, the
faithful conduct of the generals, officers, and soldiers of
my Imperial armies, placed under your command, con-
duct which evidenced that zeal, fidelity, and valour
which are innate in my people, has given me boundless
satisfaction, and received my highest approbation.
"Once more go forth with all the magnanimity and
zeal of your heart, and do your deeds of honour in the
Crimea ; place your whole reliance upon the compassion
and aid of the Lord God of the universe, that you may
do good service to the State, and so doubly fortify our
favour towards you ; seek Rim that in every way pos-
sible you may be at perfect unity with the generals, offi-
cers, and privates of the two mighty Powers who are
allied with me upon the question which is, oa all
hands, allowed to involve the right of my empire, and
let your prayer daily be that you may give new proofs
of your innate valour, of your undeviating attention
to the execution, under all circumstances, of the great
laws which guide armies, and of your sincere devotion
towards your Sovereign and country."
