IMPERIAL ECONOMY IN TURKEY.

The following is a translation of the Hatti Hou-
mayoun of August 5 (18), addressed to the Grand
Vizier :

" My illustrious Vizier,—Apart from the debts necessa-
rily incurred by the celebration of the marriages of various
members of our Imperial family, I learn that, by the
thoughtlessness and want of economy on the part of mem-
bers of our Imperial household, various purchases are still
made, contrary to our will. The regular allowance granted
to the members of our Imperial family ought to suffice
them, and it would be against our Imperial will should
their expenditure exceed their income. And although, by
another Imperial decree, it will be made known to all
persons, natives and foreigners, that they are not to con-
sider' them elves bound to deliver articles demanded of
them with the idea that sooner cr later they will be
paid, nevertheless, as my above orders are to be issued to
all functionaries and employes, that measures may be
taken to prevent the tendency towards their infraction,
and that they who infringe then' b?, if necessary, imprisoned
anti punished, and that a strict watch be cjnstantly kept to
that respect, we have thought it expedient to charge the
Seraskier Riza Pasha with that duty,
and, seeing the prox-
itnity tf the Arsenal to our Imperial Palace, we have added
to the Seraskeriate he Low holds the office of Muchir of
Tophane (Grand Master of the /Winery). And as the
Muchir of Topliaae, Mehetned Ruslidi Pasha, is one of our
distinguished Ministers, we have judged it fitting to make
him a member of the Council of Ministers.
"Thus, having appointed both, we have charged them
with the above functions, and send them to our Sublime
Porte. The Seraskier Pasha, the Minister of Finance, and
the Minister of the Civil List are to assemble immediately,
and are to agree on the steps to be taken in this matter.
They are to ascertain which among the existing debts are
just ones, and which, from different causes, are exorbitant
in character • my firm Imperial will being that such abuses
shall not die place henceforward, the discussion of the
measures necessary for obtaining that end shall be com-
menced without delay."

TRANSATLANTIC COMMUNICATION.—We are able
to announce (says the Dublin Evening Mdl) that awhot ity
has beer, viveo by Mr. Hamilton, the Secretary of the 'Teas.
sury, to the Board of Works, to remit all port charges on
the s'eaw vessels employed by Mr. Low', to ply between
New York and Galway. This is a satisfactory proof tat
the Government will do all in their power to advance Irish,
and, we will
add, imperial interests in connexion with Mr.
Lever's enterprise.
