sire to carry out II the porte is advised Of

!
Island of syria, Admiral Caillard win re-
main In the Levapt some time longer
| NJ Coustans will return 10 Constsutlnople
very shortly.
The additional clause was conceded at
| the request OF France In order to prevent
future difficulties. such as the Turkish pRo
vlucial authorities have often raised either
| on their own initiative or in consequence
| of instgati0n by the court.
| The Temps which describes the result as
| a "brilliant victory for French diplomacy
says: ''The great merit Of the government
| wac in being ahlc to restrict It's action.
Very serious 'fiuuliles must have arisen
had France departed from her reserve. The
| favorable disposition shown to our repre-
| sensations abroad has been due to the fact
that the civilized world has had opportunity
! during the last seven years 10 observe the
progress of the anti-Eur0pean movements
| In the sultan's councils. Frenchmen, Amer
| leans Austrans Italians and Britons have
| all been victlmlzcd by the sultan and his
| councillors After the Armenian mnssacres
aud the successful war with Greece they
| thought everything was permitted TO them
| 1--WE hope the sultan will now understand
| his duties toward the civilized powers and
| toward his own subjects, unto whom he
has tnkcn solemn engagements which he
| has always dlsrcgurdcd. Otherwise Europe
| which thanks TO the energetic action of
| France is now able 10 resume at Con
| stnntlnople the authority she lost several
