regarding the wording of this document. The French
affect offence with the Turks for having inserted in
the firman that Mr. LAVALETTE is to be on board.
They contend that such a clause destroys the value
they attach to the paper, and places their national
honour in a false position, and that the Charlemagne

EXQUISITE WRITING !
The first leading article in the Morning Herald
of to-day opens thus sweetly and daintily
