Since the magnificent Jake offered to the Empress
OF France IN the "Suitans yaley,r In Asia. on the
10th, her Majesty paid visit to the sinhdel H Of
fera, the residence OF the foreign embassies lega
tons, courts, &C.. In the winter season, well also
OF all the principal merchants, bankers, 80, OF the
| capital. Her visit was intentionally designed to
| new Arneno-Catholic church. the bishop OF walch,
| on being presented to her In Paris, formally
inylted her to 1t SO as to witness OF his peo
pie. The Sultan nade present of some 81, 900 Tor
the purpose Of property ornamoatlag tho
| church and getting up o throne for
| the Empress. The money was well spent,
and tho interior II now very handsome.
Near to the atar, on its right sde splendid canopy
or red velvet, lringed with gold and surnouned with
an imperial crown, gives quite royal appearance to
| the .'douse OF God.n All OF the other ornaments
| are equally appropriate and magnificent. some OF
the pictures oa the walls are by good artists, and
| opposite the canopy nung the wall, IL
superb picture OF the TRANSPORTATION OF Christ of
CobeNn tapestry, presented TO the church BY tho
pious Empress.
Al ConstanunopIe now forms corporation. at
the head OF which Is nigh ofcer OF the govern
nent, who figures as KIND OF governor ana mayor.

out the ctty-wideniny the streets aad laying
out squaros-as to have acquired Tor him the name
OF the Hansslnann Of StaMDoul. He to be
gifei wth pienary powers for this purpose mas
much he respects neither mosques, mausceurns,
graveyarIs nor the holy tombs OF the pous dead
Dervsnes. Everything gives place to his reforms.
DID he do anything OF the Kind IN Christian quar-.
ter wbat hue and cry would be at once set up
against him as Mussulman for dissertation.
Strange to say the whole Mosem commrnity
BOWS subuisslvely to his DEGREES, anu not murmur
Is heard against HIM. He nevertheless pays prop.
crly for all appropriations Of private property.
These changes are attributed to the wishes of the
Sultan, wno struck with the avenues

those occupied by French SUBJECTS, were decorated

| about noon the Empress visited Pera for the irst
| six black horses ana followed by several

! vailed everywhere; AS she entered the arch the
Mayor presented her With written address In a

After The mass the Empress paid q ylsit to the

has made most peasant Impression, and the people
OF all political sentiments in Ccnstantinople are
ready to swear by herr and TO allow no outsider
the rights of the slightest criticism regarding ner.
The Empress was to leave on Monday, the 18th,
but as che sultan begged her to remain at least one
| day more sue aid not depart untii tuesday. the
ls. little slter noon. In The meantime the sultan
accompanied his fair gaest to the only nue forest in
summit some eight or ten miles % from D tho tho
| Bosphorus on tue Asatic side. To this place the
| Sultan has had an excellent carriage road made
and as it crosses over the heights behlnd scutarl,
called Tchamllda, the Empress had one OF the finest
views possible OF the caplta. the Bosphorns, the
| Golden Horn and the Sea OF Marmora, with the Prn
| cess Islands, and beyond them Mount Olympus In
ancient Bythnia. AT Aiem Dagh the sultan has q
fine KIOSK for shooting purposes. In the forest are
several springs OF water, famous for their medicinal
qualities, and the view from the summit Of the
highest hin Is very extensive and beautiful Alem
Dagn, or the worlds Mountain" simply signifies, In
English Belvidere. a dinner, a collation. was pre-
| pared for her at summer house by Mustapha falll
| pacha, brother OF the vlceroy Of Egypt, but she
did not stop to partako OF IT, and SO dined with the
| sultan IN ner own palace OF BeRerbcy.
There Is little else left to be said OF the Visit OF the
fair Empress OF France 10 the sultan. Nothing hap
pened dnring her short stay provoke criticism or
make 1t IN any manner O source or regret. All went
| or perfectly well. The Sultan was,wlth her to the
latest moment, and In the forenoon OF Tho 10Th pre-
| sented her and the ladies Of her suite some fine
| Cashmere shawis, embroidery and rich stuis manu-
factured In his own empire. II has not been learned
| that he offered or she accepted OF any costly pre-
scnts. The fine barge wnicn he had ordered for her
use while here he presented to her on departing and
| Egypt.
iIe took leave OF her on board OF her own steamer
and the Turks state IL fact, and fully believe
that when their sovereign pressed her hand Tor the
last time aud bade her farewell she was deeply bf-
| fected and tears filed her eyes.
| As she slowly moved out Of the Bosphorus oil
of tho shipsof-war ared parting salute and their
| crews the yaTdarms vociierOusly checrcd the
parting guest Of their sovereign.
