TRANSLATION OF TH GR AND VIZIER'S LETTER
TO HADII EDHIN BEY, DEFIERDAR (AC-.
COUN PANT-UENERAL) OE ACRE.
It has been stated in a note presented to the Reis Effendi
by his Excellemy the British A nba-isador,LordPonsonby,
that the promises Ira le by the Sublime Porte to recom-
pense certain fruitful subjects amongst the Syrians, who
rendered useful services ; and to indemnify the pro-
prietors of the mulberry trees that were cut down to
form an entrenched camp at I)jouni, have not been ful-
filled ; and that upon intemgation upon this point,
your Excellency replied, that you had received no in-
structions to that effect. _ _ _

Now, you know that a list of the persons to be indem-
nified was placed in your hglads ; that, at the moment
you were about to quit this` place, and at a Council of
Ministers whereat you assisted, you were most strongly
recommended to distribute their recompenses in con-
formity with the list remitted to you—to pay the value
of the trees in question—to make inquiries into the
nature of the taxes--and to take care, that the country
should be administered according to wise and equitable
principles.
Consequently, we all expected that you, being an en-
lightened servant of the Sublime Porte, endowed with
prudence and sagacity, and knowing the delicacy of ex-
isting circumstances, would not only take every care to
arrange all these matters, but that, stimulated by your
natural zeal, you would render greater services to the
Government than any other functionary in that part of
the empire.

We have, therefore, great grounds for astonishment
upon hearing that you pretend not to have received in-
structions relative to these matters, and that you neglect
toiwrite to us, whilst the different Foreign Embassies
constantly receive letters from Beyrout. It results from
this, that we are unable to return satisfactory answers
to the representations made to us upon points to which
the Sublime Porte attaches the most lively interest. It
has become necessary, therefore, that we should issue new
orders to you on this subjeCt ; tra s flitting to you at the
same time a copy of the note of his Excellency the Bri-
tish Ambassadri, in order that you may be made ac-
quainted with the facts alluded t..
It is highly important that these indemnities should
be made without the least delay, and the dignity of the
Sublime Porte requires that the nichau,* the gratifica-
tions in money, and other kinds of recompenses, should
be distributed as soon as possible. Consequently, we
have ordered the two nichau to be completed, and we
shall send them to you, in order that you may confer
them upou the persons entitled to receive them. You
will distribute the gratiications according to the list of
persons already- made out. Yott will pay the value of
the trees, of which mention has hem ziready made, and
you will do all that is requisite, in order than these mat-
ters and all others recommended to your notice, may he
arranged ; and you will inform us, without loss of time;
of all that
.you have done:
As regal ds the taxes, the Druscs demand exemption
for three • ears, but they hhve already been exempted.
from the ferule tax, and Other Vexatious contributions.
It appears only, as far as .sre 'can ascertain, that his Ex-
cellency- Selini Paclia, formerly. Mouchir (General-in,
Chief) of 'Saida, spoke to the inhabitants of one or two
villages, siiitated in the neighbourhood of Beyrout, rela-
tive to Scare concessions that his Highness the Sublime
Porte might, make to them. Examine this matter and
write to us upon the subject. • 'And as in the case that
you, or any other public authorities, should act in a
dilatory mann affairs would be complicated More and
more; it is requisite that you should 'constantly make Us
acquainted with all that is passing,'"in Order that you
may recei :e new instructions; if 'necessary, upon every
I int.
. . . .

The Perik Wentenant-Generalj of JeruSalem, his
Excellency Tayar Paclia, who is on the eve of departing
for his Ceistination4 is charged with communicating to
you the nceersary orders relative to all the affairs above
mentioned. In short, you will devote your whole atten-
tion to the oTangement of these affairs. You will
write to us cons.ntly upon all that passes, and you will
s'e that the councy is well governed. You must never
f, bet fur a moment that you must exert your utmost
solicitude to ensure t 6 the people the enjoyment of that
pr which it is tlle desire of the Sublime Porte
shonld tic their portion. Y 6,1 will avoid everything that
may intert;.re with their repos,i. or give rise to popular
discontent. It is with this view teat this letter has been
written.

AN OSSIFIED MAN.—In the Museum at Dub-
lin there is a skeleton of one Clarke, a native of the City
of Cork, whom they called the ossified man, one of the
greatest curiosities of nature. It is the •arcase of a man,
entirely ossified in his life-time, living in that condition
several years. Those that knew him before this sur-
prising alteration, affirm he had been a young man of
great strength and agility. He felt the first symptoms
of this surprising change some time after he had lain all
night in the fields, after a debauch, till, by slow degrees,
every part grew into a bony substance, excepting his
skin, eyes,- and intestines ; his joints settled in such a
manner, that no ligament had its proper operation ; he
could not lay down or rise up without assistance. His
teeth were joined, and formed into one entire bone ; his
tongue lost its use, and his sight failed him some time
before he expired.
PENSIONS TO DR. ANSTER AND MR. CA-
REY.—We rejoice sincerely in the opportunity which the
outgoing government has given us, to state that two gen-
tlemen, every way unexceptionable, have obtained
pensions—small ones, we believe—for the pension list
has been sadly cut down—but still sufficient to mark
the feelings of the Queen in regard to the individuals in
question—both poets, one, sour fellow-citizen, Dr. Ans-
ter, who has given us the best translation of the Faust of
Goethe and the other Mr. Carey, the best of Dante.......

the census, were interrogated by the examining Ma-

an attack on the liberty of the press, but, at the same
time, endeavoured to show that they had acted with
perfect good faith.
