      delivered a speech highly characteristic of the man and strikingly indicative of the heretofore unex plained impulses by which he has been political !; guided . The great aim he has ever had in view ii all his dealings with the Porte may be said to hav < been its admission into the fraternity of European nations . He truly discerned that unless this , could be effected , the existence of the Ottoman power on this side of the Bosphorus could not be of long duration . But he likewise clearly saw that to countervail the deep-rooted prejudice of Christendom against the recognition of a Mahpmedan state as one among equals , it was indispensable that

      Turkey should be freed from the twofold reproach of anti-Christian intolerance and physical barbarism . As a civilised and equitable Power , able to protect life and property , whether native or foreign , within her ovra confines , and capable of developing her own internal resources , so as to become . 'an important customer and ally of other nations , she might possibly come to be by degrees acknowledged as one of themselves , and so obtain the moral guarantee of Europe ' s sympathy and respect for the preservation of her independence . It was with this view that so often and so earnestly the British Envoy urged upon the

      Sultan the importance of putting an end to those fanatical oppressions of wlucli his Greek and Sclave tributaries ^ mcessantl y complained , and which the emissaries of Russia were invariably tooprompt to exasperate by goading their victims violently to avenge . Lord Stratford implored and admonished by turns the irresolute Ministers of the Sultan to risk anything and everything , rather than allow the continuance of exactions and excesses , injuries and insults , which he well knew were slowly but surely undermining the patience , of Christendom . With equal energy and perseverance he strove year after year to stimulate them to the adoption of reforms in the

      administrative system of the empire , and to the initiation of those great works of material improvement to which Turkey alone , of all the states ot Europe , remained a stranger . He felt deeply that as long as the reproach of having siothfuliy abused the noblest opportunities of progress and civilisation could be justly laid at their door , it was in vain to count upon the respect and friendship of the rest of the world . Ere quitting the land of these noble-hearted labours , it was natural that lie should avail himself of his new liberty to reiterate aloud what he had so long been saying in the secret chambers of the r * * . 1 a An «»*] 4-1 * ¦ . « ama nnmiMi 41- 1 ¦»¦» * - ¦• + lirf- * l * OO 11 IT" T */*\ Til Til 1 * 43 uiu lu luiui b

      LORD STRATFORD'S PARTING SPEECH . Before taking his final leave of the Turkish Empire—that empire which for twenty years he has struggled so hard to save from suicide—Lord Stratford de RedclifFe has availed himself of a fitting occasion to sum up the leading principles of his policy , and to give utterance to some remarkable words of parting counsel and admonition . Hitherto the high-souled and intrepid spirit of the man has been , save in diplomatic correspondence , voiceless and dumb . At intervals the world has read

      unmistakabl y Ins meaning m las acts , but , for the most part , those who have desired to read from afar the drift of English counsel , as given by him confidentially to the Porte , have been forced to look for the indications of it in the hostile and often heated comments of our continental rivals upon the doings of a man whom they agreed to fear and to abhor . It is hardly too much to say , that for many years Lord Stratford ^ yas the real , though unacknowledged , Prime Minister of the Sultan , llcdschid , AH , Mustaplm , and the rest , who by turns occupied ostensibly the place , and drew the pay of Grand Vizier , sometimes gave good advice and sometimes bad ,

      sometunes enjoyed power and oftentimes were benumbed by their own weakness or the perplexities of their position . But the English Ambassador never hesitated , never admitted that he was at fault , never bent his head beneath the blast of despotic caprice or the looust cloud of administrative corruption , never quailed before the cabals of continental Governments against him , and , above all , never faltered in his unswerving course when threatened with desertion and disavowal by those who ought to

      have supported him at homo . Yet all this time ho was , by the very necessity of his disposition , de . fenceless against , and debarred from , all opportunity of vindicating tlio profound motives of Jus policy to his own country , to Tuikoy , and to the world . < Now that at length his mission is fulfilled and his diplomatic day is dono , lie scorns to rejoice that his tongue is loosed , and that lie may speak plain . On the occasion of laying the foundation-stone of the first station on the Smyrna aud Aidin Railway , he

      UcllUUC , clUU . bllUS , . C UUIUIlllH / iJAi ^ bUQ-lup history , once and for all to exonerate his soul . True to the persistency which has always characterised him . Lord Stratford stoutly repeats his protest against the cause of Turkey being considered hopeless . The brave old man cannot reconcile himself to the belief that after his long life-battle in its defence he shall live to see it lost . Sooner or later , he tells the Turks , they may retrieve all and refound their dominion in security and honour , arts and arms . If they will but do justice , love "mercy , work energetically , spend and develop their resources promptly , and economise their revenues frugally , all may yet go well . Only what they do , let them do quickly : —

      Western civilisation is knocking hard at the gates of the Levant , and if it be not allowed to win its way intoregions where it has hitherto been admitted so partially , it is but too capable of forcing the passage and asserting its pretensions with little regard for anything but their satisfaction . The ambition of one Power and the feat of another may easily give point and direction to this prevailing tendency , and in times of change and enterprise any incidental circumstance may serve far sooner than we expect to bring on , not indeed the peaceable solution of > vhat is emphatically styled the " Eastern Question , " but that fierce struggle of partition which our ablest statesmen have long endeavoured to avert .

      There is an ominous force of truth in these admirable expressions which , it is impossible for tho most indifferent or superficial to disregard . Even while Lord Stratford generously deprecates the tone of despondency regarding the future of Turkey , which over since tho successful termination of tho Crimean , war pervades diplomacy and the press , he unconsciousl y betrays tho heaviness of liis heart , and the disappointment with xvhioh he is compelled to look bapk at tho sqanfy fruit or his best efforts to redeem Turkey iu spito of Jiorself . He flings his last fagot on tho altar of hope , but the , gesture W lobk arcf those of despair . Surrounded by tho ontorprishig agents and [ artificers of tho first railway attempted i » Asm Minor , the fond dream ho has so Jong olionshod of Ourkov s physical regeneration fiits ogam vividly . before , lna
