61 the Ottoman people, and he has restored to them
somewhat of that confidence in themselves which it
is indispensible for a nation to possess, in order to
be able to defend and maintain its independence.
This Prince Vassal has become, according to our
/jell', an essential and necessary part of the Ottoman
totpire. If he be destroyed, the empire will not
the more acquire, now-a-days, the means which
were formerly wanting to enable the Sultan to govern
Syria atid Egypt ; and the Porte will lose a vassal
who ia, at this moment, one of its principal bul-
warks, Other Pachas will succeed who will be
disobedient to their masters, and who will be the
tlePeedents of every foreign influence. In a word
