REFORMS AND CHANGES IN TURKEY.-I
mention here only she financial and administrative reforms,
but there are others of a moral nature peril spa equ'lly
important, which, in the commencement of this year
(1832), I observed, with no less gratification than sur-
prise, in passing through Turkey in Europe. The
Greeks were allowed to wear turbans, yelow slippers,
and generally any dress and any colours they chose. This
may rippeer a mere trifle, but it is far from being so.
The masks of distinc ion, between Greek or Christiar,
and Turk, are dress, name, and mode of salutation; the
most important, however, is dress ; every one must have
felt this, who for a day has worn the two ens•unies in
Turkey. When these distinctions are no longer mitten+
of right and law, they will fall into disuse; nor would
they be considered, a+ herertofore. even if preserved,
badges of oppression or slavery. The two people will, I
doubt not, in time, amalgarn,+te, if nothing interfere Irons
without to disturb the progress commenced; with the
acuteness of the climate (I know nut what word to employ
to designate the peculiar inteligence of these races), they
ven themselves anticipate this event. I recollect a vlacls
saying to me at Monastir, " If the Grand Vizier live ten
years longer, we shall sup with the Turks in Lent, an::
mey will dine with us in Raniszan." At the time to
which I allude, in approaching Constantinople, I met
several deputies, returning with &mans for the erection
of cburch: s. The difficuMes thrown in the way co
building and repairing cburcLes by the Tusks, are well
known, as v ell as the heart-burt,ings thereby caused to ti.e.
Greeks. Now, not only was perwis,ion freely granted,
out the Grand Vizier himself subscribed eighty thou.arso
piastres towards the erection of one at Monastir, whicl
was erected of solid stone masonry in an incredibly short
period, the whole Greek population contributing labour
'a well as money, and was completed by the end ta 1851.
rile Turks asked the Greeks, " Why they bad not add...-
four minarets to it ?" How couch rnsaning lies is thi.
taunt.—Turkey and its 2?tsources.
