The Sick Man In Turkey.
A GRAND ENGLISH FILIsUsTERo MOVE TO THE EAST

From the London Times, June 30.l
The Turkish empire is certainly the most comprehen

This mixture Of East and West of personal despotism

there are ministries in Turkey with offices corresponding

which his ancestors won by the sword; he must de-
eide for himself, and 10 practise his weakness Is
the natural course OF ministers dependents who
wish to kep their positions It Is said that the
present ministry has not scrupled resort to such
cxpedenis. Fuad Pasha its animating spirit has little

the people, either Turks Christians. But he trusts %

Fuad Is therefore said be DESTROYS to proong the
occupation for indefinite time. He has nothing to
hope from the sultans Partially for Abdul Medd lately
sent his daughter TO Redschd Pasha, requesting

doubt that the designs attributed Faad Pasha aud his
colleagues not without foundation We fully believe
that he and his friends quite mistaken In their
that continued occupation by tho allies would advance

not understand the temper OF European nations. Such
men ~ Fuad have been accustomed 10 for years the
contests Of England France and Russia for

rels must be continued by the governments and the
selves acquainted with Eastern affairs. We all feel
how distant such suggestions are from the fact, and,
though there Is little chance OF the Ottoman territory
