Nothing can be more beautiful than view Of the Ohio

Ny DEAR G.. aSaan Aeikoum with you be peace !
Here am in Cons,antinople basking in the beauties Of
the Golden Horn and inhalng odor not of "Araby the
best have at been both pleased and disappointed
with Stambou. No city is frer 10 the eye none more
disgusting all The other Nowhere is il more em-
phaticay true that "dstanoe lends encann.ent TO the
view for Nature has done everything to beautiy what
man has done everything 10 degrade The entrance into
the Daranees and the succession Of views the shores
until yon reach the crowning panoramic view Of the Gold
en- Horn with the mosque minarets and gardens of SIAM
bou though often rayed about by tourists cannot be de-
srbed though it is impossible to oyerrate their loneliness
with coudess canopy of blue sky oyerarchng them and
bright golden sunshine lighting up their most hidden
beauties The long ranges Of lofty mountains the Asian
sideoftes, Of which is the Nysian 0lympusserye
appropria,e framework for the picture while the gliding
coue gives an Oriental aspect the water also though
the harbor is crowded with French English, and Ameri
can shps warlike and commercial. Unlike most other
.nuchauded views these 90 not dsaPpoint and you re-
cur TO them with increased relish. The land views
also very fine from various elevations in the city
you catch gmpses of the wafer and OF small cabinet PIC
lures Of portions Of the three cities constituting Consanii-
Eope viz Pac the European site Ssamboul, the Turk
isb and Gaat part Of the former also of Scutar on
the Asiac side where the faithful prefer being buried
Such the external view internally these cities do not
improve acquaintance Ii is impossible to imagine the
wreehed lanes mp the sides Of steep hills paved with sharp
pebbles and without sidewalks that pass for Streets or
the sqnalor fits and odors which characterize them all
One familiar feature IS missed The French oldiery have
killed off Of the dogs that used TO prowl about the
streets and they only to be found in strictly
Guided Turkish quarters You cannot 60 ten yards
any part of Constantnope French
soldersin fact the place is becoming rapidly Petit Paris
The Turks get them out they will be lucky. The
English decidedly playing second fiddle here wel
in the Crimea This is admitted BY all.
But do not intend giving you guide-book for STAN
bou and will therefore descend from generals 10 partcu
lars merely promising that all the talk here row is Of the
capture Of the aalako Towers by the French and
the Redan by the English, which has made Pessier
Larecbal de France and in which Dame Rumor here says
the English showed the 'white feather" at fret Those
competent to form Judgment say that hard lighting
must be yet If is believed the Russians yet hold the
forts the north side Of Sebastopo.
The Turks heartily SICK aud seriously apprehensive
Of the intentions Of the allies and believe would make
almost any concessions Russia to get well rid Of them.
They will find the fable Of the and hose Esop APP
pisable TO their after The stag has been killed and
they know IT. The last movement here proves it. Reschd
Pachs the creature of Lord Reiclie is down, and
ministry appointed who hostile to that despot and very
bitter about European nermeddling in the Internal aars
of Turkey. The cabinet composed of men of high in
elgence but very obstinate the right OF Turks gov
Turkey They propose series of reforms the chief
object of which diminish the influence and the pryi
leges OF the foreign ambassadors by placing tie Kayaks
on footing Of equality, regards civil rights, with the
true believers while the time decreasing the pre-
negatives and the jurisdiction Of foreign agents over those
under their protection, such protection having hitherto
proved the only shield Of the foreigner the Rayah in
Turkey agains the cruelty, the rapaeiy the yindctv
Of his Turkish master who regarded him with feel
ing one-thrd hatred and two-thrds contempt and pill
Jagged him ad lam unfortunately subject to his tender
mercics.
Contempt for the ainfdel dog Is fast passing away
but il question whether the hatred does in
an inverse ratio Certain it is the Turk cannot hate
and the Giaour more than the Greek Christian
loathes him aud bloody indeed, would be the reributon
their avorie dream ofshe restoration Of the Byzantine
empire ever approaches fll6iment From some expe-
