THE SULTAN'S RETURN.
The Sultan addressed a manifesto to the Grand Vizier on his return home couched in the following language: — "The marks of sympathy and goodwill which. I have received during my journey from the sovereigns and groat nations of Europe, have bfien each that I can never forget them. In returning to the capital of my dominions, I wish to convey to my faithful subjects the pleasure which I have experienced, -and to make them sharers in it. They know that the first and denrest of ray wishes is to witness the daily growth of the prosperity and peace of my Empire, and tlie well being of" all my people in every rospect. The satisfaction of ray heart increases the more when* I find all my subjects, like the governments* and the nations whose hospitality. I have' been enjoying, appreciating the sincerity or my intentions. My solicitude, will, therefore, continue to be devotod to fostering: those elements which everywhere servo to bind commonwealths together — to the acU vancement of public instruction, the extension of means of communication, and. thegood erganisation of the military and navy. 1 *
