and into the heart Of Russia. All this merchandise
is paid for in Russian caIboranz Every time this
Russian money obtains at Constantinople rate
higher than It's real value there is aiux of them;
and what happens? Why the Turkish government
reduced to send to Europe the return Id paper for
the merchandise furnished by contraband to Persia,
TO the nelRhboripg States, and to Russia The CON-
merce Of Odessa and of ali Southern Russia, profit
ing by this exaggerated value of foreign money in
Turkey, then uses the Bank of Constantnople to
SEND iunds 10 Europe, specuatoDs are organized to
in hand bank bills. 1t is thus that the drafts OF this
bank have risen lately to the annual sum of more than
400 900 coo of pastres The exports of Turkey with
out doubt procure for it thevsues with which covers
its correspondents in London but these values are
far from being sufficient, although it may be that in
coed years the exports balance the imports We
comprehend the causes OF this insniiciency The
amount of the drafts which the Turkish government
ought to furnish to commerce, in the place Of being
only the difference between the imports and exports
of Turkey, augmented by all that which Persia and
part of Russia owe to the merchants Of the west.
The Bank of C0nstantinople is then for some time
obliged to cover its correspondents by sending the
Din which it possesses and this accounts for the dis
appearance OF oil the new gold and silver money. In
1s4S, year otherwise deplorable for the commerce
of all Europe, the loss was IA 600 900 pasres This
is an intOleIable situation, which weighs heavily
upon the budget and of all the vices of the financial
system Of Turkey it is that which requires the most
energetic and prompt remedies Let US hasten to
say that the Divan is under no Illusions In this
pect, and that reform in the coinage more radical
than the preceding is at present within its contem
paton. The only Ieproach it will incur will be that
it is too late.

COPY OF AN ORDER OF THE GRAND vIZIER, TO BE
MADE PUBLIC TO THE INHABITANTS OF CoNsrAN-
TINoPLE, EYOUB, sCUTARI, AND GALATA.
The acceptanc, OF the propositions, as made by
Russia and which are kno Hn TO all the world, rea-
tive to the religious privileges would not ony have
been an infringement of the sovereign rights aud in
dependence of the Ottoman empire, but would be
the immediate source, as Also IN the future, OF all
sorts Of prejudice--from which God preserve you!
Russia has assumed menacing attitude by making
such immense preparations for war.
As regards the Sublime Porte, whilst taking
on its side measures Of precaut0n and defence,
by sending troops to the Imperial frontiers, TO
Anatola, and Roumelia it has at the same time, in
compliance with its system and pacific principles,
exhausted all the means Of negotiation, and pro
posed moderate arrangement, and made every
effort for the preservation OF peace-at all times
cherished and sacred object-but all was Of no
avail; and, finally, the Russian army crossed the
Prnth, and has invaded the provinces of Moldavia
and Walachia, hereditary provinces of his Majesty
the Sultan. Notwithstanding this state Of things
the Sublime Porte had recourse to INTERPRETATION,
with view to reconciliation in the interest Of the
maintenance Of peace but it has not been possible;
and in consequence, National Council was con-
voked by the Porte on the ed and 23d OF the month
of Zelludge composed Of the Sizirs, Caserkers,
Ulemas military Chiefs and other functionaIies, and
the question was exsmined in all its bearings 1t
being clear and evident that as the court OF Russia
declines to accept an arrangement to which the
Sublime Porte can adhere, the peaceful solution
of these differences is not posslble it being koow
to all the world that it was Russia who violated
oil the treaties by invading the Ottoman terri
tory and the PRONUNCIATION OF such state OF things
being hurtful, IL was unanimously decided to place
our confidence in divine aid, and in that Of Holy
Prophet to undertake war, and order the troops to
move. This decision of the council was confirmed
by fetoa of the Sbek ul Islam, fet0a which it was
thought proper to put into execution ; and report
to that effect having been land at the foot Of the
throne for the orders OF the Sultan the decision Of
the general council was sanctioned by Haiti Sheriff
and the whole made known to the Caserkers of the
divisions of the army in Roumea and Anatolia, and
to all the Inhabitants Of the empire by the publca
ton of rmans. Therefore you also will convene the
it is Russia which gave rise to this affair, and that asst
is her that the responsibility will fall, they must
address to the God of Battles for the triumph
Of the Sublime Porte and of the Imperial troops,
and we enjoin them to pray necessarily and with
fervor for the Of cause And at the same
time you will make it clearly underitood to all that
Us this war is a war against government which,
without the slightest reason, has violated the rights
of the indeuendeCce OF the Ottoman Empire, enc
amicable relations which exist between the Sublime
Porte and the other friendly powers have not suffer
ed the slightest alteration III consequence OF this
situation, aud consequently no one must be allowed
to modest the merchants subjects of those powers,
nor persons protesting different religion, as re-
CARDS their life, honor, and property; and no one
81 all be allowed to modest them in any manner
whatsoever for the law protects the lle the honor
ard property of every class Of subjects, and Of
Rayah as our own. All must be treated, according
t. our sacred laws, in every circumstance, with u,
tice and enjoy the most perfect security; in word,
it il repugDant to tn. sacred law as well as to com
mon sem e. as it has been made known III the past,

TESS religion bearing conformity to that OF Russia,

The subjects of the Sublime Porte have enjoyed for
centuries the religious privileges accorded to them
by the Ottoman Emperors, under the special protec
ton of the Sublime Porte, and those privileges &C
quire daily additional strength and greater extern
sion. They are aware that the pretence Of the Rus
sian government to take them under its protection,
would only tend to weaken them.
You will make it well known to all men that one
Of the external Of the triumph mpored is that
all classes of his Highness may live together ia har
mony; that should modest or humiliate another;
and that all shall endeavor to live in perfect union,
and serve their common country.
If from negligence ignorance, or i'll will, any one
should act in opposition to these legitimate orders,
be shall be severely punished.
All the above dispositions were decreed in the
general councils recently held. You will, therefore,
have o care that no one shall act contrary to the
above orders.

slavery In the United States, and American
Trade In India, in an English point OF view.
From the London News, Oct u
It las been amusing to a good many people in
England within two or three weeks, to see it an
nounced with certain amount of flourish, that a
grand sensation is excited in the cotton growing
States Of America and that an entirely prospect
of abolisbipg slavery is opening by the probable
tension of railways and cotton growing in India.
There are a good many Quakers and other benevo-
lent persons smiling over the news--fnen who
were busy 50 long as fifteen years 10 promoting
shortest way of putting an end to American
slavery. Hundreds of thousands of tracts on the
subject were circulated then, aud have been since;
ano these tracts have been read in the Southern
States of America for years. For years the Ameri-
cans, who were tempted by high salaries to 60 to
India to supelinteno the preparation of the cotton
for the market, have known that they must get away
quietly and not think OF returIingso great was the
dread entertained by the American planter Of what
india might do. 1t is also some years since the
planters learned that they need not alarm themselves
abb ut ny.hiDg that Indian railways do to them
during their natural lives and till there railways
the cotton OF India will go on to be spoiled in an
enormous proportion by the &C ;dents natural to
