Abdul Aziz, who had always shown himself
so feeble, should have suddenly displayed so
much energy, and at the same time that his
death was OF so little importance to any one
that il seemed rcpugnant to attribute it to
assassination.

VIEWS OF TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
! Like all dcSpotS who have Outgrown their
! popularitv-and for many years he had
nonc--hc had Become moroSe, sullen, and
isolated, save to the creatures who minis.
tered 10 his sensual pleasures or his costly
whimS. With the growth Of popular dis.
content he applied all the energies spared
from his roluptuous Incidence to the hoard
inc Of money. He was never man OF ac-
ton: the expression OF his face was hall
WEAKNESS and hall insenSibility: and when
the day for action came, when the menacing

them out rs bloodly and efcctually as did
his father Mahmoud II. the ianiZarieS just
fifty years ago.
His dcthroncmcnt was undoubtedly the
work OF England. The reign OF Abdul
AZiZ represents an Intellectual struggle tc
implant reforms upon the Turkish system,
ending in the disgust OF the monarch and
founding the appropriately which his own
course subsequently dccpencd into the dis
content tina. overthrow him. TO the Turks
his successor is supposed to be the opponent
OF all that Abdul-Aziz attempted. In the
hands Of England Mourad WILL however. be
pushed TO repeat the attempted reforms that
Abdul failed in. and hence with the fanatl'
cal MoSlcms he will soon be as unpopular as
his uncle. The death OF Abdul-Aziz takes
place when Europe is secthing from end tc
end with excitement. The ghost OF Abdul
Aziz may look down from the bosom OF the
Prophet upon blazing pyre in which the
throne OF Islam shall be burned before the
eyes OF all Europe in arms and to the thun-
