The moral condition Of the East ia very slngu
lar one, though its material condi.ionis the most
wretched in the world You have doubtless heard
OF conflict going on between the Turkish Govern
ment and the more enlightened class OF the nation
who thirst for civilization, education, aud progress
and the low. fanatical multitude who always con
trive to tear to pisces every Giaour they meet on
their way, and who conspire even against their

you believe mo when tell you the contrary Is
true? Much has bsen said of Sultan Manlnouo'
the reformer but be assured he was tnorouga
Musulman, hs unwilling as any other TO modify,
much Less to destroy the religion by which he was
allowed the satisfaction OF bis most hideous vices
Indeed the cunning Of Mahommed was most ssrk
iDgy manifested iu the composition OF religion al
fordiDg TO ita adberents the moot complete sratics
tion Of their sensual and even Of their yclouR pro
pensisies; he knew that such religion would have
but few apostases and he was right Sultan Nah
moud bad ne desire to reform a system under
which he bad split more human blood than any con
queror and experienced no restraint upon the most
unnatural and disgusting de0auchery. What ne
did desire was to free himself from the fatal yoke
of the Janissaries and Jantssaram; TO put good
regular army in their place, and to Introduce into
his palace some of the comforts of W estern Europe,
and this was all or nearly 40
The only real reiormer now in the Turkish Gov
ernment IL Reschid Paoha; the Satan, having
followed ha advice in sending away many Of tue
inhabitants of his fathers ueraglio feels Shat by
dssertng him now he would remain quite friend
less. For that reaaon, and for that alone he ad
DIT F,-I
say, Reachid pacha does not kaoc what reforms
to begin with nor how to carry them through. Be
side, he is Alone quite alone, to take care OF him
self, land terrible job that is to lead in every
diplomatic transaction, and TO superintend the
whole administration without possessing che
friend in whom to coDiide and upon whom to rely
Nearly the entire stock of Pschas aud Of Boys are
necessarily plotting against Reschid Pacha, whom
they consider, correctly enough, as tho only patti
san of innovation,
Above you have the fact as regards the higher
classes Of The nation. Bat there is region where
the want of good reforms is really and heenly felt,
and that Ia the lower class of tho people. They
are the source from which Heschid Pscha ancon
sciously derives all his strength. / an aware that
the contrary is generally believed 10 Christendom
butthis is the truth, The inhabitants the Asatc
widernesses are overwhelmed with cruel suifer-
ipes, while the yoluptuous delights which III ahom-
med allows are far and too dear for them to ach.
What influence can 1t have on them that their
prophet permits his disoi pies TO possess hundred
women and as many men when they have not
enough wherewith to feed even a angle alave?-
Mabommed in writing his law had no other object
,oRxr
now that ar and the warlike spirit exist longer
among the MussulmRns, the whole ediace OF the
Moslem religion is falling to pieces for want of u
bssis to support it, Agriculture is neither taught
nor encouraged; manufactures aud commerce &re
now the privilege of Greeks and Armenians.
What, then remains for the pacific Turk Moth
ing but to rnminate upon the gulf that separates
him from other nations and to wish to become
like them. His pride s gone with his superiority
and his fanaticsm he greeta gladly every Euro
pean who comes him. and endeavors to post
pone the departure of the stranger az if he hoped
to inhale some healthtu influence while in mia
company.
How often have seen thick bearded, vide
turbsned Turk, dark, rough and feroe in aspect,
bushipg like child as hs caught my glance fixed
on his dirty costume or his awkward movements
How eften have such men timidly approached to
beg uic to teach them the way Of making some
triiling object or of performing come ordinary
piece of labor, and then shake their haNds smiling
sadly and saying We are not Europeans, but
patience, and we shall learn,
What is moro strange is their behavior toward
women aFd in particular toward then women in
our presence and toward Us in theirs Tails xii!
