A RISE IN TURKS.
(4.n extract from the latest advertisement.)
The Sultan presents his compliments to the crowned heads, nobility, and gentry of Europe, and begs to say that he has made up his mind to turn over a new leaf. His Imperial Majesty is prepared to deal in a spirit of the greatest possible liberality with his good and honest friends the bondholders. He has determined to make many concessions. He will chat the matter quietly over with anybody. Further, to England he will give the security of Cyprus ; to France, Tunis ; to Austria, Bosina ; and to Russia, Merr. These guarantees are a proof (if one is needed) of the good faith that will characterise for the future the dealings between the Sublime Porte and all foreigners. The Sultan, moreover, has determined to order the Khedive of Egypt to pay any sums of money that henceforward may be advanced to His Imperial Majesty. Tn conclusion, in return for all these valuable concessions, the Sultan would ask the same civilised world to advance, on His Majesty's personal security (and thn Sultan's word is as good }13 hj g bond—if not, indeed, better), the unimportant amount of half-a-dozen millions. Or —would tako £1,000 do i-n and have done with it. —Punch.
