THE SULTAN AND HIS CREpIToRs.-A Constantine.
pie letter OF the Sth of December, in the NdHrelite
of MarseiIles, says:
"a demonstration took place few days ago on
the part of the persons who supply the palace and
whose accounts still remain unpaid. The Sultap
was on his way from Top Hane, where he had
skfasted, to the palace of Doine Bakche when
he was met by an assemblage of three hundred Of
these creditors, who crowded around the imperial
cortege, calling for justice. The first movement
of the Sultan, at finding himr ELF surrounded by
this crowd, who were uttering loud cries. was TO
lay hold of the hi of his sabfe but soon discover.
ing the pacific character of the demonstration. he
ordered that three of the creditors should be dele.
gated to call on Haki 3ey, who should that very
evening receive the necessary orders on the SUBJ
ject of the claims.
"The following day three of tho principal credi-
tore, waited on Iiaki Bey, who tent them to Rizza
Pasha, The President OF Commission formed for the
settlement of the accounts Of the civil list, but
which has only held one two stttings for FORMS
sake. Ri2za assured them that all their accounts
should be paid, but that, at pre- 7ent, funds we're
wanting. Meantime. many of theCe unfortunate
men, who are pressed by their own creditors,
have been obliged to suspend payment, and several
of them have been completely ruined. similar
demonstration was made two days after, by the
workmen of the imperial buildings"
