CONVTANTINOTLII, OCT. 11 I H^9•

This day, at his country seat. Levend Chiftlik, situate about live
mites from the capital, on the Therapla Road, an elegant Fete was
given by All Effendi, the Silictar or Sword Bearer of the Sultan,
to his Excellency the Hon. Hoist. Gordon, Admiral Sit Puhenry
Malcolm, and several distinguished Officers of the Royal Navy.
—The repast was sumptuous in the extreme, every delicacy in
abundance; and it will appear almost incredible, that one bun-
•died and ten dishes were successively served up to a company
only seventeen in number. Yet the Turks are a temperate nation !
Diener was announced shortly after the arrival of the party. and
the di-tinguished I last, altei having pres'iled some time at the head
of his table, withdrew to an adjoining ap.rtment. During this in.
tercel, to honour his guests, it was so contrived that the liqueur
defends (of choicest qualitie.) was introduced, and copious libations
poured out to the healths of the Sultan and our own beloved NlO-
- After dinner the Silictar again joked the party. awl taking
his seat between his Eacelkncy the Atuba.sattor at.d the Admiral,
conversed with them very familiarly. The t ffice of hits -
ting devn:ved on L. W. M`rartliy, M. D. Physician to the
Seraglio, and G. Hood. Esq. Dr.tgriman to the lititi.li legati 111 l
As, in consequence of the existing t.y.tem, this Tu. ki-h Nobleman
has nut the advantage of travel and intercourse wi.h France, oh,
elegance of his manners and gentkmanly deportment was AI t
of general ourpri.r. In the course of the evening there was a display
of fireworks in the court-yard of the Chiftlik, and the Lam] of the
Sultan's Guards, ch'efiy Turk., executed. toleraldy well, St %%TA
plecea of Italian music. A. a finale, were produced 'wee toteats of
various kind., coffee, magnificent pipes etedJed with dianiondt;
in fact, nothing was wanting in the shape of Oriental luxury.
The greatest cordiality kept the company together until a late
hour, when his Excellency the Ambassador at:d Party retired to
ithe British Pal..ce in Pert. Shortly atter their arrival, aril con-
formably with Ea-tern customs, they were joined by Dr. M earthy,
with valuable presents from the Silictar, by whom he was .11-41 dr•
