RECEPTION OF THE FRENCH AMBAS-
SADOR BY THE SULTAN.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 31.
This day his Excellency itl. Bouree, recently ap-
pointed ambassador of France at the Sublime Porte,
has been granted an audience to present his creden-
tials by his Imperial Majesty the Sultan with un-
usual pomp, that had, however, been previously
settled between the Ottoman Ministers and the am-
bassadors of France and England. Imperial car-
riages had been placed for the-purpose at the disposal
of the ambassador and his suite. The whole diplo-
matic personnel, the dragomante, the military mis-
sion, the staff of the cruiser La Corse, the French
functionaries of the finances, mines, public roads,
and woods and forests, now on mission at Constan-
tinople, accompanied the French ambassador.
The introducer of the ambassador, Kiamil Bey,
came and took his excellency to the Imperial
palace of Dolma-Bagche, and thence to the Sublime
Porte.

The ambassador rode in a carriage and four,
escorted by a picket of Imperial Guard ; his suite
followed in thirteen Imperial carriages.
A guard of honour was stationed in the second
courtyard of the palace, where the ambassador
alighted.
M. Bouree was immediate), admitted with his
suite into the presence of the Sultan, and delivered
the following speech, which was translated by Aali
Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs :
" Sire, the Emperor, my august Sovereign, has
deigned to confer upon me the honour of represent-
ing him to your Majesty. The numerous duties
devolving on me on account of that mission will he
made easy by the mutual confidence established be-
tween two States which are united by so many ties,
political and commercial. I succeed an ambassador
who will leave in Constantinople lasting remem-
brances. Your Majesty wished that such an assur-
ance should be given to him by your ambassador in
the most honourable terms ; I would feel happy
should my counsels be accepted by your Majesty
and his ➢Ministers, as were those the Marquis de
Moustier was able to give, and of which the high
bearing was so fully appreciated. Those counsels
have been always characterised, as in the recent
question of the Principalities and Montenegro, by
that wise spirit of moderation which softens the
present and ensures the future ; it will continue, the
Emperor Napoleon feels sure, to inspire the policy
of your Majesty and also of your Government.
" Owing to a long sojourn in the East, the ques-
tions that rise up here are not unfamiliar to me, and
I bring with me to Constantinople the personal
dispositions the most fitted to:merit the goodwill
of your Majesty. I dare asking it from this day.
The Emperor,Sire, is not indifferent to the measures
through which your Imperial Majesty has tried, and
will try, to increase the prosperity of the populations
under your sceptre. It is, above all, in developing
the immense riches, sources of the public as well as
of private fortunes, that exist in the soil of the em-
pire, that he thinks this aim can be reached. The
Emperor does not ignore the fact that great im-
provements are sometimes difficult to be realised ;
but no one knows better how a strong will can mul-
tiply those ameliorations in the area of a great state
and render them everywhere simultaneously pro-
ductive. I have, Sire, the honour to place in your
hands the letters accrediting me to your Majesty,
and which renew the assurance of the constant
amity of the Emperor."
ilia Majesty, 01100 the intermediary of Aali
