sembly was raised platform, On which stood the
sultans minister's. RIA Pasha, marshal ot tne
palace. handed the haiti sheriff 70 Redshid Pashl,
who read it aloud with all the symptoms OF pro-
found emotion Hardly had this prcsamatl'n 'n
taken place, when Redshid Pasha communicated
the document TO the ambassadors OF the different
Powers in thsirrespective tongues and had 1t puo-
lshed in every part of the world. There ran one
shout of admiration through Europe for the great
man who had devoted himself to the patriotic task
of repeEerating the Ottoman Empire by means oil
modern institutions AS to the notes bearing the
signature of Redshid-which were eleyery doae
ind,ed-it is nov ayerred that it was Messrs Cor
ord Irci.n Rome Frenchmen), beside Ali Pasha,
Fusd Pasha, Ahmet Vefk Efendi and NJ hher-
K we de Varent, 10 whose combined talents they
owe their existence.
TIE Greeks Of the Fanar, the British embissador,
ard tie Muscoyites constantly strained every nerve
and resorted to every e1pedient to keep Redshd In
power, and to keep Meberet Ali out While the
NJ nclikoff mission still pending, he was REIN
stated in power, thanks to the combined action oil
Russian and British influence. The Russian en-
besssdor even published note OF congratuiaaon'
thanking the Sultan for having restored the port
folio to the former Grand Vizier. The wrath OF
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and his insolent sum-
mons to the Sultan to restore Redshid to power,
after his own return from a visit to the Cnmes,
during which Redshid had been elected must be
still fresh in the memory of the reader. HIS re
instatement in Office was marked by the ap-
pointment, as war miDister, of Ria Pasha-tne
greatest debauchee in Turkey; by the admission
of the Austrians into the cipaties and by the
restoration of Prince StiIbey in Wallachia, in spite
of the inquest made by Dervish Pasha, who had
pronounced his deposition.
Praise cannot be withheld from Redshd for having
at all times identified the interest OF tho Turkish
Empire with his own. Nothing can equal the
splendor of his palaces the luxury of his furniture
the water of bis diamonds the rich elegance of his
ppes His establishment is composed edOftwo hundred
to three hundred persons. There are to be found
clouds Of intendants, secretaries and slaves for all
specialities. Ever since he held the dignity OF
Vizier, there has been no great commercial enter
prise in Turkey in which he has not had the lions
share. There is no country included in the cir
cumference of the Empire where he does not possess
estates, houses, gardens and tarms. Before he had
acquired the fortune of Chosrew Pasha, he was
known 10 hold four hundred and seventy-twO es-
tates. Since lsi7 he has owned in Thessaly an
tate extending over one third OF that province.
His domains situated in the neghborhood OF Con-
stantinople. In Bulgaria and ROumelia, are estl-
mated at frOmten tOfteenleagues each incircumter-
ference Mr. Wilkinson reports that being charged
to survey a property newly-acquired by Redshid In
| SYRIA. he was obliged to be seventeen days on
horseback in order 10 make its tour. aud that he
counted seven Artesian wells on it, He was pro-
prietor Of the magnificent palace of Balta-Llman
on the Bosphorus. AS he has the reputation Of
being always in debt, in consequence of his vast
expenses, he feigned that he was obliged to
sell this palace which he had acquired
at the cost of ten million piasters. This hap
| pened but few days before the marriage
Of Ali Ghalib, his son, with the Sultans daughter
Some cOmplaisant friends presented themselves
before the Sultan, and after having intimated the
great mans hard necessity of paying bis debts,
they entreated the Sultan to buy the palace. The
poor Sultan consented, Redshid received %, ,000,-
900 piasters and his magnificent ex-resldence was
given, accompanied with dowry Of 10000, 900
pastres, to bis son, Ali Ghalib. The go-between
of this match was Lord Stratford de Redclife.
Not long ago the fortune Of Redshid Pasha
was greatly increased by maneuver quite
worthy of himself. Old ChOsrew having died
without leaving an heir, bis estates, valued at fifty
millions of pics, were, in accordance with the Of
tOsan law to return to the administration of the
State domains. But as, according to the same
law, the WldOW mas te rlght Ol dc iullnS tne prop
erty Of her husband if not outbidden by other buy
ers, the widow OF Chosrew came forward to redeem
tie whole succession. Redshid being known to
back her up, nobody dared to outbid her. and she
acquired the property for 100000 piaster' Some
days afterward the said widow resold the whole to
Redshid Pasha against commission Of 1000
piasters, who thus, at the cost of two millions,
realized fortune OF forty. This revelation We
