It seems positive now that the Empress of the
French viii in Egypt for the opening OF the Suez
canal and as the French here show the cloven foot
OF jealousy with respect to English influence in
Turkey there is little doubt that the Empress Eugenie
will try her hand at establishing balance of power
in the East. II she times her visit in Stamboul with
the period OF the es, to be given the occasion Of
the circumcision OF the Sultans son, she Will have
the opportunity Of seeing more of real Oriental stes
than the English party had. These circumcision
.rstes have hitherto cost and doubtless will
cost again this time, many thousands Of
pounds, not only to the Sultan, but also to all
the dignitaries OF the empire. Thousands OF Mus
sulman families anxiously walt such occasions in
order to have their circumcised at the Sutan's
expense and this religious ceremony also serves as
pretext for the presentation OF costly presents to
the palace. The vicerOy OF Egypt will also have to
open his purse on the OCCASION as we hear that he
is expected up here soon. on his way to Vienna and
Paris to invite the Emperor OF Austria and other
regal parties for the opening OF the Suez canal.
Unfortunately for this poor country, everything in
the way OF regal amusements visits, presents and
whims is done with lavish and useless expenditure
OF money! which would be far better employed in the
construction Of roads and other means OF communi-
cation for the carriage Of native produce, which
literally rOts In the possession OF the poor peasant
because the road from his village TO neghboring
town is impracticable both for man and beast. In
the east Of Turkey this difficulty OF transport COM
municatiOn, and the eXertions OF the Russians TO
facilitate communication and to encourage transport
trade through Georgia, have very nearly deprived

will hardly make up for what is mostly wanted for
this empire viz: means of communication from viii

our capital is much visited by tourists, who find
that they come from London to this city In five
