The English residents at Constantinople gave a
grand dinner to Viscount STRATFORD before his be-
parture. At this dinner a very complimentary ad-
dress,signed, was presented to the Noble
nanu
and
his sIY
health was drunk with great enthu-
siasm. Ile replied
in a speech, in which he
"Such ti striking acknowledgment
of the services which
iord
you have been kind enough to ascribe to me, indioates
that in estimating them you have weighed the spirit in
which they were conducted, and the difficulties by which
they were impounded. It is true, gentlemen, that the
obstacles I have had to combat were sufficiently formid-
able. Their nature is such that a man of my principles
must expect to see them arise in Turkey aseertainly as in
other countries of the East; they are—corruption, which
undermines society to its foundations, and cupidity and
intrigue, which obstruct the march of progress, aed
poison the aterosphere wherever they exist. A good
deal was to be expect2d from the generous and benevo-
lent disposition of the reigning sovereign, and from the
salutary changes which have taken place in the adminis-
tration of the country since the adoption of the
new system. A good deal was also to be expected
from the counsels and policy of a minister who had
wisely contributed to the introduction of a system,
on the continuation and extension of which depend so
entirely the renovation and subsequent security
of this noble empire. A great deal of the expected
good has, no doubt, been accomplished under then
auspices; bat more, much more, remains to be accom-
plished, and I
p must add with the most profound sorrow
that indications of error and weakness are seen in more
than one Place, that the energy of the Government is
embarrassed by financial complications, and that even
the great charter of Ottoman progress is to a certain
point discredited by negligence in the execution, or
rather the non-execution, of its promises. Ido not say
this to place in doubt the intentions of the Government
or to insinuate that I despair of the final restoration of
the empire to a more prosperous position. A state of
transition is always more or less a state of weakness;
and 1 entertain the hope that efficacious measures will
be adopted before it be too late to dissipate darkness,
and cause to shine unclouded the rays of European
civilization."

Viscount STRATFORD concluded by calling atten-
tionru t t importance of establishing railways and
g other improvements into Turkey, and
by proposing a toast to the prosperity of British
commerce.
