the Bank of England yesterday by the Turkish Minister,
the contractors, Sir I. L. Goldsmid and Mr. Horsley
Palmer, and the agents. Subjoined is an official trans-
lation of the document, the form of which is such as is
used only in connexion with the most solemn treaties or
obligations :
" Translation of an Imperial Firman, bearing the Hatti
Scberif, or autograph command of the Sultan, appro-
priating a portion of the annual Tribute of Egypt to the
Payment of the Interest and Capital of the Turkish
Loan.

mond, ever victorious.
" My Vizier, the present Governor-General of Egypt,
Mohamed Said Pasha, &c. (here follow the titles),—When
my Imperial decree shall reach thee, be it known that
it has been unanimously decided that, deduction made
of the sum allotted to the Hedjaz, the remainder of the
tribute of Egypt, amounting to sixty thousand purses,
which, at the rate of twenty-two piastres and a half to the
dollar, makes one million three hundred and thirty-three
thousand three hundred and thirty-three pillar dollars and
one-third (to be henceforth calculated at that value), shall
be deposited in the Bank of England or of France every
six months, as follows, viz.—one-half of the aforesaid
sum, amounting to thirty-thousand purses, shall be depo-
sited in the Bank of England or of France on the 10th
day of April, new style; and the other half, amounting
also to thirty-thousand purses, on the 10th day of Octo-
ber, new style, of the year 1855, and so on, until the liqui-
dation be complete, as a special offset against the interest
and capital of the sum borrowed by virtue of a contract,
dated the 24th day of August, 1854, and under condi-
tions therein stated, from the Baron Goldsmid and Mr.
John Horsley Palmer, through the respectable mer-
chants Black and Durand, according to my Imperial
decree ; that the suitable partition of this sum of sixty
thousand purses between the two Banks shall be discussed
and settled on the spot between the two allied Geverments
and my Imperial Ambassadors in London and Paris ; and
that until the full payment of the interest, as well as of
the capital of the sumso borrowed, care shall be taken that
the paymants continue to be made invariably in the above
manner.
`• ' My Imperial commands have therefore been issued
for the execution thereof in the manner aforesaid ; and as
this Imperial firman is to be deposited in the aforesaid
Bank of England, this my Imperial order has been issued
from my Imperial Chancery, authorising me to make pay-
ment in due time and season of the sums aforesaid, and
has been sent to the proper quarter to be deposited in toe
aforesaid Bank.
"'When this matter becomes known to thee thou wilt,
in conformity with the judgment and intelligence which
characterise thee, and in the manner aforesaid, make pay-
ment in due time and season into the aforesaid Banks o
London and Paris of sixty thousand purses out of the afore
said tribute, pursuant to the above command.
" Thus know thou, give thou full credence to my Im.
perial cypher.
