These lavish presents are part Of the
policy of the Sultan, which is plainly to-
put himself thoroughly under the pro
lection of the car. The disorder Of
all his peovinces, his dread of Mehemet
Ali. the formidable rebellion in Asia Mi.
nor under CadI Kiran, and the increas
ing anarchy OF his capital, seem 10 leave
Mahmoud no hope of personal safety
exec pit in the favor and aid Of Nicholas.
Hence the ardor with which he throw
