The CIRcAssrAN SLAVE TRADE.-A Con-
stantinople correspondent of the London Noy7s
ing Chronicle, writes to that paper as follows,
under date of Nov. 10th -
When last l wrote, l forgot to enclose YOU
the Imperial frmans issued by the Sultan for
the suppression of the slave trade. They read
very we'll, and would tend TO persuade siran-
gers this traffic is really on the point of being
put stop to. The PRONUNCIATION and execu-
ton OF law are two very different things in
Turkey. The public slave market of Con-
stantinople has ceased to exist for some years,
but the slave trade has not diminished. The
same numbers are bought and sold alb A6itun.
The only difference is, that the slave merchant
has his private dwelling. The PRONUNCIATION
oil the tirman may have some slight influence,
but 1t will be very slight; and it is therefore
as well to say SO, and expose how dust is
thrown into the eyes of the European people,
This Is not the moment to indulge in de-
picting the state of slavery in the Turkish EN-.
pire. 1t is, however, but just to remark that
slavery exists here i'll its mildest form. It is
an Eastern custom. Slaves are treated as
part OF the family or household, and are not
kept for labor; indeed, numbers of the most
distinguished and powerful men in Turkey.
have been slaves by origin. As regards the
sale and purchase of slaves in Cireassin, the
be sold at Constantinople. She has chance.
if she is beautiful, of becoming Sultana, or
one OF the Sultanas, or at least she hatters
herself that her good locks will open the ha-
lem of some opulent Pacha to her.
1t must not be disguised that our endeayors
to suppress the Circassian slave trade, though
no doubt meritorious, and founded on motives
Of philanthropy, viii be regarded in a very
different light by the Circassians, and gain us
many an enemy amongst them. With respect
to black slaves, no country is so liberal to.
wards our dark brothers as the Turk, whose
ideas Of man in general seem not to be rooted
in prejudice against the dark sons Of Arabia
and Africa, as is the case in the north. The
black has nearly the same rights as his fellow
Mahometan Of paler color. Many fill high
offices in the State, Religion is the barrier at
which the Moslem stumbles-one black Ma
hometan is better in his sight than 10000
white Giaours. The PRONUNCIATION of this fir-
man is, however, move in the right direc-
ton, and the result of the strenuous efforts of
Her Majesty's amba sador, Lord Stratford de
Radcliffe.
