RELIGIOUS IIBERTY IN TURKEY 1rl
The events which took place here in july last and A.
which you aly informed at the time have hard,
borns such fruit Lord Henry Bulwcr and ,be Turki.L
Government anticipated.
At first Sir Henry had everything his own VA, ua
only here. bu. In England Having the ear Of tho
Foreign Office and inference over the London paper.
| he msreprcsentsd u, cass in such way that biz
course vas approved By Losi John Russell and me
English press generally.
But the Truth could MOI bs KEEP. out Of s,si AMI Ls
found 1t necessary to 60 10 England In person. For
three months be has borcd thcre up the truth
and make appear that he and Ali Pacha ere the YER,
Apostles Of Liberty and Progress in Turkey. The
editor % TIE Lsydrf H,raS who IL one Of bis depend
epts also went 10 Enesad 10 convince tie editors n
London that all was right-.h,t Sir Henry was the
personiicston OF raih and the missionaries not only
fanatics but liars WAX Ytaaa
Had be acted with his 1s,al cunning he might have
succeeded hut unfortunately for himself he had written
certain letters whichcoud not be concealed and worse
than all, be went 10 England leaving the Protestant
Turks either Ia prison or in onie.
He positively Declared In writing TO Harl Russell that
he lad had no previous inmatlon Of what tie Turkish
Government did in July. But Earl Russsll wa also
shown le.ter from Sir Henry. in which lie declares
that he did know something Of what was 10 take place
three or four days beforehand. -a.I. 80
lie says in England that hs has defended religious
liberty but Ia his letter TO tbs missionaries be defines
religious liberty to be simply the right 10 hold any faith
In private, hut no. to propagate 1t nor to sssai any
other belief either In public or private.
Ard in dispatch addressed - Earl Russell just thres
years ago hs distinctly repudatss the Haaihornsyo"s
declaring that it lad no legal binding force. and thai
the simple publication Of IL did moro harm than good
and came very producing repetition Of the scene
o! the French Revolution OF tue eighteenth century
He says In England that thsre has been no religious
perse In Constan:inople but in the face OF nn
assertion the undenisblo fact that Of all the socaled
Protestant Turks arrested In July only those hsvsb bees
Sc. at liberty who have again declared themselves MOS
sulmans Months Of Imprisonment snd then exile was
the fato Of y. Oilers wl.hoG. any form Of rd or any
other charge than that having been Mussumans they
had become Chrisiars AMI had lrsde known the !sos
