 CoNsTANTINoPLR.--Itis is wonderful how little is generally known with regard to this magnificent city. It situation is the most delightful in the world. With harbor aI- f0rding room for thousand vessels-with the Euxine on its East, the natural current of the Wealth of Asia is through the BOs- phorus; and with Marmora on its south & west, the products of Egypt, Arabia & Eu- rope, are at the command of its commerce. In the hands of commercial nation,it soon would become the centre of the commer- cial world. It is encompassed by walls, which have g gates-six towards the land six along the port, and ten on the Marmo- "a these have stairs and landing places.

 Constantinople like Rome, is an urbs septicollis." Its seven hills rise from the shore in the form of an ampitheatre gar- dens, cypress groves, palaces, &c. afford a view worthy of all admiration. The cas- tie of the Seven Towers is used as an hon. orable prison. A square tower standssin the sea, memorable as the prison of Belisa- rius. Near this are great many cannon level with the ewater, and guarding the en- trance of the port and the seraglio.

 The word "Seraglio," signifies ca pal ace" 1t is collection of palaces, mile and a halfin compass, enclosed by strong wall, on which are several watch towers in which guard is kept by night and day. The principal gate is of marble, and is cal- led the Porte. The gardens are very ex- tensive; the buildings are of white stone, and crowned with gilded spires and turrets and shining with surpassing splendor.

 The Exchanges are splendid buildings. and the richest and rarest productions of the East are daily sold in them, in large quantities. Addto these numerous chur- ches, mosques, &c. together with sthe ma ny private houses, and you may have some idea of the opulence and magnificent splen- dor ofthe Capital of the Great Ottoman kmpire.

 ST. PETERsBURGH May, 3. 1928. ORDER OF THE DAY OF HIS MAJESTY

 THE EMPEROR.

 The glorious and advantageous peace with Persia has not yet set bounds to the brilliant deeds of the Russian armies. We terminate a just war, but on another side an equal strug- gle awaits us for the defence of our honor, and of the rights purchased with Russian blood. The hostile proceedings of the Fur kish Government had already exhausted the generous forbearance of the Emperor Alex ander, of glorious memory; that Govern ment has now filled up the measure; scarce ly had it confirmed the peace by the most solemn oaths. when it openly threw off the mask of friendship which it had assumed.

 We march in order to put an end to the trouble and massacres in the countries bor- dering on our empire, and to establish viola ted peace on solid foundations. Soldiers! in combating civilized nations, used to arts of war you have gained imperishable glory, not only by the valor which insured you victory. but also by your magnanimity. Blind obe- dience to his superiors, strict discipline, and mercy to the vanguished, have always dis tinguished the Russian soldiers. You have seen the peaceable inhabitants receive you with joyron your arrival. and those whom you have conquered. salute you with the UdbuC Ol ucHtcTGrSs 1Ou udlDtdu lulS 6tO rious character while you hold out the hand of friendship to your fellow citizens; subdue those who will not submit. but spare the weak and the maimed---spare the property the houses and even the temples of our enemies, though they are of different religion. Thus the Holy Religion of our Redeemer commands-he who by mildness and human ity, shall have conciliated the bitterest ene mies-he, who shall have defended the wid- ows&orphans shall be as dear to my heart as the brayest in the field. Russian soldiers, you will not deceive my expectation. We have God for us, who crowns justice and intrepid ity with victory! NICOLAS.

 St. Petersburgh, IA (96) April, 1928. s IMPERIAL MANIFESTO.

 We by the grace of God, Nicholas I, En- peror and Autocrat of all the Russians, &c.

 The preservation of peace which Russia has enjoyed was always the chief object of our incessant care, and, thanks to the AL mighty, our efforts have hitherto not been in vain. By the sudden invasion of the Per, sians, tranquility was first disturbed on our frontier beyond Mount Caucasus. But, re- polling force, by force, we joyfully embra- ced the first opportunity of putting an end to the war. A glorious and solid peace con firms in those countries the security of our empire. But on the other side the Ottoman power threatens Russia with war, and even d war of extermination, which 1t has long had in contemplation, and which it seems to make general by summoning all it's subjects to rise s.~- kx~l aL. k..nA m.>Es sHa Euss
