am happy to inform you that
the immigration of paupers and
criminals to this country from GER
tain OF the cantons of Switzerland,
has substantially ceased, and is no

| The consideration of the subject

| The Ottoman porte has not yet as
sented to the Interpretation which
this government has put upon the

ever, be seen that this differenc,
will be adjusted by a general revi

' in connection with the treaty Of
