away. Already some OF ITEM have left, and the
French papers show that. Said Pacha, another OF

The Porte has at last made oyertures to the
Bankers OF Par's and London for loan. The
balance OF Trade" as well as Of Power, ha. for
many years been against this country. The
Exchange between this place and London and
Paris, has been upfavOrable TO the commerce OF
Constsntinopl- and bills cost here much above
their proper value. This is caused by the fact that
Tu,ke, produces almost nothing for expectation,
while Il is compelled TO import immensely for its

stance of there being, on all the articles raised
in this country when shipped, an export duty OF
9 and ; per cent, while the duty on all imports
il only 3 and , per cent. Beside the export
duty Of L. there is also 1.-THE due to the Sultan,
az Csliph, from the producer, making - per cent.

however has not as vet be accepted. The posi-

and alt It's r. sources inspires no confidence IN the

condition been go critical as it now j.. The army

Religion. A body OF religious fanatics have
stirred up the people to dissatisfaction with
the Government almost to open rebellion. The

The arrival of Commodore Strngham, with the

Athens to examine into the conduct Of the Gov

Some unfortunate cases of ill.treatment OF
Franks by Mussumans especially the ere " and pas
senscrs OF small English steamer which plies on
tie Bosphorus, have given rise TO the belief
among many, that the Turks are also becoming
