The following is al extract from letter from the
Rev. DIR. Hanlin. American Missionary ut Crnstanti-
nople, datettSept 81, 1S5Z:-
My last letter gave you the details Of an interest
ing examination into the case OF % converted Mus
sulman family. We hoped that exars'nat'on would
end the whole natter but il has only served to ex
asperate the feelings of large circle. The Porte
has done nothing further but some Of the Pachas
le greatly irrtated that this family should remain
here and subject them TO the constant annoyance Of
TIM "a hnIp funAtieal marty. The cXClt rment has
spread 80 far aud wide that the family have fed
ivm the lowering storm we wished very
much to make stand IN TINS case, but 10
expose family to the danger OF mob, or OF
assassination poison, when so many are combined
against them. when they themselves feel unequal to
the Icing pressure of wutchfuness and daily appre
bensioD OF danger from some unknown, unlocked for
quarter, il not to be thought of, and on the whole
they have done well to flee.
On Saturday, two Turks in military dress, came
TO the French college in this village seeking a. we
supposed this family; but there is another case, in
which the Catholics concerned. OF persons, for
merly Christians, who became Mussurnans, and have
returned to Christianity and gone to the Catho-
lies; and the two have become mixed up with the
two colleges Protestant and Catholic, and the Turks
are equally excited against both. They informed the
superior that if the individuals sought were not pro-
duced they would come and tear down both the col.
leges the next day. We were Immediately Informed
by the French college Of the threat, but with the
strong guard at the guard house feel confident that
of the kind can be executed in the daytime
Unless there shOulu De something IKE Renerb flrk
Of the Lofts at the head of the rabble The rebel
lion in India has communicated sngularly excited
spirit TO the Turks The fanatica party make great
aud effective of il. Tens OF thousands believe
that originated in the efforts of the English to
make the Mussulmans Christians by force and that
all the English have done here for freedom Of con-
science is only to prepare the way for the same vio
lent conversion oil the Mussuimans in Turkey. The
storm will probably pass over but IL Is an indi
cation OF what We might expect III the future. The
excitement against the missionaries personally and
body, il Just now very strong but that also will
soon pass away. Nothing lasts long in Turkey. We
may have tremendous and destructive storms, but
then clear sky TO work in.
