s~srsrtant from the East Coming OF the
Trne Messiah--The Remnant In Israeli
TThe Destiny OF the Jewish People.
Ny the last steamer from Europe, we have recciv-
ed letters and papers, developing the result Of the
-s~isbrated mission to the East, undertaken by Sir
Moses Montefore, distinguished Hebrew Of Eng
L1sd together with account of HIS interview with
the Sxltan of Turkey, and the proclamation of that
Sovereign in favor Of the Hebrews, throughout he
~,hoss extent Of his empire. We give them
cnziOas history of certain events ia the present
age.
II was in the fourth century before the birth OF
cAEst that the first Proclamation ia favor of the Jews
was issued from Susan, by Cyrus, the King of Per-
sss, directing the children Of the captivity to return
TO Judah, and TO rebuild the House Of the Lord at
Jerusalem. From that period up TO the present, we
do believe that a important event has taken
place affecting the destiny of the ancient people OF
God. Sultan Abdel Medjid has issued his Procla
ssafon not for building up house with hands to the
glory of the God of Israelbut to construct house
81 lafh and justiee-to establish a habtaion Of hu
assan rghts-a building that cannot be broken down
b. the prejudces Of the unbeliever the Gentle.
IA would seem that the predictions Of the subli-
sasst of all the ancicat prophets Isaiah, were at
seasth coming TO pass. See Isaiah pGSsim.
AZ is estimated that the numbers of the Jewish
people throughout the world to 5000 OOO Of
which onehalf are in Asia In the present state Of
the world, beth Christian and Mahometan, all the
scattered portions can communicate with eac h other

hsiea Of Save been committed for safe

Thought Civilization, inteli genes, the press NOR
ale, all mental and physical improve are giving
the Jews a new and an elevated position in the
world. Their Messiah Is truly coming in the shape
