TURKEY.

The following is the address delivered by Count
de Montebello at his late reception by the Sultan—
" Sire,—The Emperor Napoleon sends me to offer
you his congratulations on the occasion of your
accession to the throne, and his wishes for the pros-
perity of your reign. Sire—Europe, painfully
affected at the news of the premature death of your
illustrious brother, the Sultan Abdul Medjid, has
derived from the first acts and the first words of
sour Majesty the firm hope that the path of reforms
and of progress, so nobly opened by y our august pre-
decessors, is about to be followed by your Govern-
ment with the same perseverance and with fresh
energy. No one more than the Emperor Napoleon
has applauded the generous intentions proclaimed by
your Majesty, and no ono more ardently desires
their realisation. Let your powerful hand extend
its imperial protection over the subjects of every
race and every religion which people your vast em-
pire; let the solemn engagements, ratified and re-
newed by you, receive in Asia as in Europe, for all
and on the part of all, a complete and sincere execu-
tier], and your Majesty, while consolidating the power
which Providence has confided to you, will acquire
fresh claims to the gratitude of your people and to
the esteem of your allies. In the accomplishment of
this noble task, for which, if it please God, a long

life is reserved to you, the aid and support of
T.li'rance, the oldest and most faithful ally of Turkey,
will never be wanting. The Emperor Napoleon has
himself expressed to you his sentiments of friend-
ship and sympathy in a letter which I respectfully
place in the hands of your Majesty."
The Sultan replied in the following terms :
" I am very grateful to the Emperor for having
in this manner conveyed to me his congratula-
tions, as well as the expression of his exalted
kindness. lam not lees happy that the principles
proclaimed at the time of my accession to the
throne, as the basis of my domestic and foreign
policy, have been appreciated by Europe and par-
ticularly by the Emperor. It is well understood
that I desire to give to all my subjects equally and
without exception, protection and welfare, and that
all my efforts will be directed to that end. My
friends will moreover see that I shall devote my
exertions to reform this country and make it pros-
perous. I attach, I am pleased to repeat, a very
high value to the friendship of the Emperor, and
my dearest wish is to see that friendship constantly
increase. lam also aware of the solicitude which
General de Montebello has long felt for Turkey,
and I regard as a fresh proof of the friendship of
the Emperor the choice made of him to fulfil this
mission."
