THE STATE OF EUROPE

bis chiefs and notables that he is resolved under
the present trying circumstances Of the Sultan Of
Turkey, to assist him by present of thirty mil
lions francs and Of twelve thousand horses on
course the resolution ofthe Sultan Of Morocco was
applauded and consented by the pious Moslems of
Western Africa and the danger of the Psdishah at
Constantinople has strengthened the ties which
connect the different Mahometan States of the
world. Egypt, lately a rebel country, has sent
troops and treasures to the assistance Of its
suzer.in; Tunis and Tripolis, only nominally de-
pendent on Constantnople, sent likewise an
auxiliary division; and now the Arab Sultan.
Ell Gharb-as he is called-the Lord of the West,
who never was subject to Constantinople, &C
knowledges the importance of the Turkish En-
pire in the East, and sends him present, most
acceptable under the present circumstances.
The new viceroy of Egypt is likewise now to
send one hundred thousand pounds to the Sultan.
and the Turkish loan yesterday brought into tho
market finds favor with the public, and already
commands six per cent. premium. Itis therefore
not likely that the financial difficulties OF the Sui
tan, upon which the Anglo French diplomatlsts
have relied so much, will force the Dyan to
allow the financial administration Of the Turkish
Empire to be transferred to the auAilisries.
Still such was the English plan from tho
beginning. and doubt whether it is already alto
gether abandoned Turkey has until now defeat
ed all the plans of European diplomacy, and Lord
Clarendon had himself to declare that neither
England nor France had formed just estimate OF
Turkish bravery and of the resources of the En-
peror. Kossuth and Urquhart were the only pub
lie men in England who knew not only Turkey
hut likewise England and Russia aud Urquhart
has not ceased to warn the public of the treachery
of western diplomacy. Every one of his numer-
Gus predictions has been fulfilled; STILL the Eng
lish are 40 much accustomed to be deceived, that
they rather turn round against the man who so
boldly and with 80 much sagac.ty charges tho
Ministry with treason and the people with stu
pidity. Among the German traditions we lind the
story of the faithful Eckhart," who precedes
the ehostly hunt which carries of all those
who chance to meet it at midnight. Eckhart
warns every body to go out of the way OF Perdi'
ton, but nobody believes him, and ptyng tho
lost, he goes on to warn the coming though
warnings Mr.. Urquhart is really the faithful
Eckbart of England predicting all the mischief
that is to come long before it has been done.
Still, the sound of the buge OF the "wld chase"
following him has such charms that the warning
voice is forgotten at the moment that it is ut
tered.
The Emperor of France has destined 1900
Mimic rifles for q present to Shamyl, who
never has refused to co operate with the Turks
in Asia, but who has most positively refused
the admission of AnglO.French officers to his
Circassian army. He fought his battles single
handed for twenty years, and does not require
foreign officers for the direction Of his operations.
The Sultan has conferred upon him the title OF
sirdad Elirim, Commander in Chief, but Shamyl,
though willing to acknowledge the spiritual
supremacy of the Sultan, whom he regards as the
successor Of the Kalifs, has an objection against
the secular supremacy Of his spiritual chief and
does not recognize it by accepting any title from
Constantinople. Sixty Circassan chiefs werelately
at Constantinople, but they are not Daghestaness,
or Lesghans, they belong to the Shapsagl confede-
racy and to the Augasses Of the western slope Of
the Caucasus, chiefs of tribes which were never
under the influence of shamyl, many ofthemhaving
even made their peace with Russia. They are
now of course all in arms against Russia.
The collusion of Austria with Russia becomes
more and more apparent Austria was to get tho
exclusive occupation of the Principalites, and
Omer Pasha had received his orders not to pur-
sue the Russians on their retreat. By the insu5-
ordination of Said Pasha of Rustchuk, who de-
fested the Russians, and occupied the excellent
military position of Giurgevo against bis orders.
on the eth of July, the scheme ofeAustria was
defeated, and the Turks entered Bucharest.
Gurgevo is most excellent strategical point,
and previous to 1879 it was, together with Brsils,
one of the main defenses Of the Danube. 1t was
therefore stipulated by the treaty Of Adranoplo
that the fortifcations Of these points should be
demolished. Said Pasha, aware OF the import
ance of Giurgevo, took it, and is now fortifyng t
under the advice of Anglo-French engineers.
Russia cannot like this, and wishes, therefore,
to see Bucharest, but principally Giargevo' IN
the hands of Austria. To attain this AIM husna
now declares that as long as the Iuins na'n'ain
their position in Wallachia, enc VIII NOT COM
pletely evacuate Moldavis but Will keep Uaiatcn
m the Danube and some other strategical poats,
probably Braila, occupied. Turkey is now to
withdraw her troops across the Danube, that
Rus,ia should recross the Pruth, and Austria
enter the Principalities without striking blow.
And in the face of such overt colluson, Lord Ked-
cife advocates the propositions of Austria rather
than to enforce the expulsion Ofthe Russians from
Nodayia. The Sultan il of course disgusted by
