The Sultan has lately decided upon making q SerSes
Of excursion, into the interior Of his Empire, for toe
pvrro~e If making out bis plans Of reformation
rnentiy needed. He is now nj Ismii, ancient Nicos
media. ard from thence will visit Brusa ana
Suvtna Lefors returning to this capital In the
month OF May he will CO. it is said, to Adr'anopie'
aud pAs. 10 his way, tho route Of the
riilroad co the Sea of Msrmo a, 70 TINS CITY,
destined 20 connect the capital of his Empire
with Europe Ano her railroad is already begun
from, Vrrns. on the Black Sc, to Rnstchuk, on the

The sultans loan of 4cs,OOO.Oo0, for which hG
only receives f500000o, and destined for the with
drswal Of The paper notes with which this capital a
inundated has yet, not made its appearance here.
The effect it has had however is to raise the value
OF foreign specie from is0 to 30 piasten 10 the
pound sterling, while the value Of exchange on Lon
don is only ls0 pi,sters TO the pound. The same s
tie case with all foreign coins BY some, 1t lie sup.
posed that this rise IL created by the Government as
il buy in 10 own notes Al half their ohciaI
value that of the pound sterling being no pisstsrs,
and the TurksA pound 100 pasters. Business ID
dul and gress uncertainty reigns as to the INTENTION
Of tie Porte regarding these paper notes, whieo
constitute large debt to the inhsbitantsof the Cspt
tall L! Is believed that they will not all be drawn
in and destroyed after purchase or exchanged fol
spe IL, but be consolidated into regular public
debt, payable in go many years, and bearing per
cent interest. Such may be the fate OF 'he paper
currency now being Issued in the United otsies un
der circumstances somewhat similar to those which
compelled the Porto 10 cover the expenses Oh s MN
