By the European mail at this port we have the plete text of the second letter addressed by the ‘and Vizier of Turkey to the Viceroy of Lgyptin repiy to the note of the Viceroy, which was pub- lished in the H#xRALD on the 26th of September, The Turkish odicial missive—of which the poiuts were telegraphed to us through the cable—reads thus:— I have received through Taluat Pas nV. mitted to hs Majesty, the letter wa your Highness has done me the honor to wri date of ivth asi, im reply to th addressed to you by order of lis Majes' urpose of giving and asking various ¢xplan re are LWO Important points-— saucy tO point out to your Higuness. ay Upon the soverelynty of Lis Maje oue fs the preservation of the welfare aud security of his subjects, as well as the consolidation of the pases Ou Which ther wealth aud tranquillity repose; (ne other, the paraniount obligation of is Majesty to preserve intact the legitimate rights of his sovereignty. Itis therefore a necessity, follow- lug irom tuls general rule, that his Majesty should give lis attention aud care to the faithiul execution Of these obligations, a8 Well as to the proper adinia- istration of Kgypt, one of the most tinportant por- tions of the enipire. 1t ia incontestable that most of the dilicuties, disputes, annoyances or disasters waicn arise originate in the want of a frank and suflciently clear undersianding a3 to the practical carrying out both of rights and of duties, Aituoagh this argument Las no need Of proof itis abundauuy coufirwed by tae svents which occur from time to time in connection with the administration of Egypt, aud whiea have just occupiea general public atvention, On tue olber hand, aa Egypt is in every respect the must important portion of the empire, 15 follows that the Sublime Porte cannotin aay way consent to the weakening or rescinding of any of Gi the conditions established by the imperial frmans. Consequeatly the want of a perfect understanding upon tie mode of carrying out Lose conditions on the part of your Highness causes dificulties of more thau one kind to arise, Thus the understandiug as vo the manner of fultilling the established conditions bemg of capital interest, and as it siould in the future prevent ail dauger—the tenor, besides, of your Liguness’ leuer facilitating the solu- tion of this importans question—{ hasten, with great pleasure, to inform you that ms Mi Jesty has deigned to receive with sauisfact tue assurances of your Higuness on this ect, fs also the assurance of your entire fidelity to him and of your urm totention to keep within the inmits of your duues, If tie considerations mentioned in iy previvus letter, instead of being stated stratgnt- Torwardly and wivuout disguise, had been Jeas frank, there would have been in our reiations @ lack of contidence which might Lave given rise to numerous: inconveniences; but as in affairs of state of funda- mental importance the first duty 18 to get rid of pe sonaliiies and confine oneseif vo the matters at issue, | have never doubted for @ mMoluent that your higaness would in your persptcuity entirely récog- nize tat tae pots ‘dwelt on in my letter were of the most serious Importance for the government, gud that it was a sacred you the part of his Majesty to deiend the: t present and ia the future lixeiy to weakea or de- stroy them, ‘Lie reply of your Highness has confirmed this con- viction. fhe Ryracpletin eres you are ready to remove every trace of the regrettabie situation produced by such and such causes Within some time past, and that you do not adinit even the idea of passing in auy degree whatever Leyond the limit of your dudes and privileges—this deciaration, I say, has tu a and renewed the benevolence of his Majesty towards You, and be has considered it proper to 1uimsh your Highness with the means of realizing the good dis- ogition and loyal sentiments which you have maut- ested towards him, in order to banish those unpiea- sant recollections which he, as well as yourself, desires to see completely disappear. The surest way to attajo this ead being according to the principle above mentioned, the complete execution of the exact terms of tue imperial firmans, i hasten to Point ous the aispositions Which should be taken in this respect. “Tpus, accordimg to the conditions stipulated in the firmans granied to your Uiustrious graudfatuer, and contirmed 1a those which have been given sub- sequently, establishing the state, form and duration of the enrolment of Kgyptian troops, regarded as imperial troops, tere Was one whicii at first fixed the number of these troops at 18,000 men; this igure was afterwards increased to 39,000 meu. Your High- ness, thereiore, Wiil nut go beyond this figure, unlesa in case of need its increase shall be mutually agreed upon. Ail armament exceeding the regular service of such @ force becomes consequentiy a useless expense to your Highness, and as evidentiy there can be no actual want of the 20,000 needle guos which have been ordered at diferent times in Europe aad America, you will of course at once counter- mand them, aud we have no doubt that, in order to keep within the stipulations before men- tioned, your Highness wiil also countermand the ivon-clads at present being built at Trieste and in Rreothire! ta dave ger. ete.spould beany. difficulty them, lis Imperial Majesty bas decided on takin them Of your hands at cost price, in order to factil- tate the solution of the principle. According to the terms of the same firmans ali taxes in Egypt should be collected in the name of the Sultan, but as the receipt and boty spiel of these taxes devoive upon your Hig liness it lollows that unless his Majesty has some knowledge of the nature, amount and employ- ment of these revenues, this condition of “collection in the name of the Sultan” has neitber sense nor appieation. Besides, your Highness has no hesita- tion, according to the passage of your ietters rela- tive to the presentation of tue budget to the Medjlisa (Council), in submitting the state of the receipts aud expenditures to a scrupulous examination, In adnering to these saiutary principies your Iiginess has given evidence of great Wisdom, but the perfecting of that salutary system would be as indispensable for your Highnese as for the security of this province of the Sultan and for the well being of its Inhabitants. On tho other hand, your Highness knows (nat foreign loans necessitate extreme measures, such as the hypothecation of the present and future resources of the country and the increase of its receipts, 89 93 Lo pay the interest and reimburse the capital. 13 question, too, is the more important, as itis wot just that the entire re- gee should rest upon your Hignness, and his Majesty has thereiore commanded me co request your Highaess to forward the budget of receipts and expeuditures each year to Constantinople, 80 that it may be submitted to his Majesiy; and if itshould become necessary to make @ foreign loan, you will frat ask for the previous authorization of his Majesty, at the same time submitting to him, ac- contig to precedents, the reasons for the loan, its conditions, and the means provided for paying inte- restand sinking fund, after which you wilt be fur- nighed with the firman containing the imperial au- thorization. The external relations of Egypt being comprised in the treaties of the Le Porte with iriendly Powers it has been clearly lished by the before- mentionea fi mans that the Pgyptiaa Adininistrati shall have bo Official or direct communication will the Powers; consequently the natural result of this decision 18 that whenever any matier affecting the foreign relations of kgypt may present itself it slould be conducted by the imperial government and by the official intervention of the Ottoman am- bassadors in Europe. But according to the imperial authorization contained im the tirman of the Sti Sefer, 1254, if it should be necessary to send an agent for the purpose of giving any explana- tions to foreign administrations concerning par- Uicular couventions which might be made ta certain matters Geiermin2d upon, or to confer in refereace to specia: regulations not officially conciuded, such agent must put himsau in communication with the Ottoman representative ef the place and carry on the negotiauon with which he is charged by bis oilcial mediation, This manner of acting is neces- sary in order byw aleped the business and to be in conformity with te rights and proprietics, Hils Majesty, desiring e: hestiy that all the func- tlonar.es of his emp! Whatever may be their rank, should bring the gieatest diligence to the oullon of the organic regulations affecting the life, property and honor of his subjects, the assu- rances given by your [ighness in tais respect have especialiy gratified his Majesty. He lias deigued to order me to request you tu employ your efforts more aud more to these ends, He hopes, too, that the Lad wweatinent and the Cat ff endured this year by the Mussulman pilgrims will not be Fenéwed ana that your flighness will hold reaponsible for these facts the agente who have thus conducted themseives contrary to your wishes and to humunity, We all regard your Highness as one of the chief Members (sic) of the empire, Yon wili, therefore, confine yourself to full and entire compliance with the conditions above laid down, which are intended to safevuard the sacred rights of our it aster from ail encroachinents, and to develop the wealth and prosperity of the country placed under your administration. As his Majesty does not doubt that you will employ all your efforts to remove every Cause Of misunderstanding, 1 consider it useless to enter into further details of this subject. Your Highness’ intimation as to your imtended voyage to Constantinople has been agreeable to his ajeety, who wili be glad to see a satisfactoiy arrangement of what precedes, a4 aiso to see your Highness at the same time, and to contiuue to you his high benevolence. - it is by Imperial order that I have the honor to address to you this Leite AVALL DIRMAZIUL-EVVEL 21, THE CA\ONS OF THE COLORADO, Letter from Samuel Adams, a Governme Explorer—Fertiie Valloys aud Rich Mineral Deporits, {From the Omaha Republican, Sept. 16.)

In reply | was told that the holder, who had brought them from America, to which country they had been taken in 1791, took a pleasure in going through tuem, and could nos be prevailed on to part with them except at his conve- niepce, It will be readily understood, therefore, that when M, Le Verrier, at the sitting of the Acad- emy on the 2vth of Angust, 1867, asked me from whom I received these documents, and to give a list of the whoie of them, I was obliged to refuse to give him the information he asked for, because to let everybody Know from whom I received them would lave led to such offers being made to the possessor as he could not have resisted, and would Lave compromised the fate of the docu- ments, Neier could I say that the thousands I heid in my hands formed the entire collection; con- sequentiy | was forced to give a distinct refusal, and nobody can with justice biame my reserve, more especially as J Gacnestly requested all who took an inveresi in the matter to come and inspect them. More than tiat—as s00n as objections came from abroad I either sent the originals or photographs of them for examiuation. Could I do more? More- over, the great number of these documents, the variety of subjects of which they treated, the names of the authors and thetr perfect concordance ieit no doubt 1a my intad concerning their authenticity, It Wus tis accordance tat euabled me to answer all the objections tiat were urged against them; so readily, indeed, a8 to give rise to the supposition that there was a forger, aud, eveutuaily, that there were several lorgers Who manufactured the documents to meet exigeucies as they arose, On this subject allow me to state that tie existence of the letter of Jaiues 1i., Waich some perscos seemed to think jus- tiled the:n In uttering Wew suspicions, was Knowa some months previous to my making use of it to our brother academician, M. Balard, he having ob- served it one evening when going through the let- ters of James aud bis two daughters. Mary and Anne, with two English servauts. Independently of this simpte lact, | may add that what passed at our meetings ought to have obviated these insinua tions, seeing thas I there and then answered the ob" jections as they were made. (At this part of his statement he called the recollections of the Academy to the fact tint, when made ac- juainted at the beginning of the mect- Ing with the nature of the objections that Were to be urged m the course of the sitting, he hastened to his house and fetcued the particular documents required to meet them, and that when be hforintty’ wo tie pehtrie BINED VAR Sey UEP might appear wii the ey ger of the proceedings.) He continued:—Moreover, | ailirm that the vendor of tae documents invariably came to me between eleven o'clock aud midday, or between half-past five and six o'clock; aud that 1 never once went to hia house, nor did | ever send any person there to ask for documents. I had, therefore, the tuilest con- fidence in the genuineness of ny documents, Never- theless, the observatious made at Florence relative to the letter of Galileo, dated the Sth of November, 1639, of which I had sent a photo- graph, awakened my apprehensions, and engen- dered tears which induced me to make certain inquiries und to adopt precautionary measures. I even considered it penoved me to request the préiect of police to take measures to ascertain the real depot from which they were brought to me. ‘The ultimate Tesult of these imquiries was that I thought it my duty to give the vendor into custody. The examina- tion of his avode, however, which I hoped would lead Lo my possession of the originals of which I had as yet only copies, merely led to the discovery of some triting articles, At first he refused to name the source from whence he obtained the documents he sold me, but he afcerwads asserted that it was he who fabricated them. ‘The commiasaire who was to draw up the indictment asked him if he did not have any from Count de Menou In 1816, to which he replied: “sixty or 80; adding — that he hut othors irom the cabinet of M. Le Veltier, but that this cabinet merely contained papers relating to genealogy, which were doubticas 801d in 1860, ite allirined, therefore, that he had forged the wholo of the docuiments, more than 20,009 cer- Wainly, which he had gold ine since 1861, and that he had made me the victim of his frauds. * * * Can anybody suppose that a single individual, unaided, could compose such an immense number of docu- ments upon al! sorts of subjects? Yet those I submit- ted to the Academy were only @ portion of those he delivered to me. Independently of the numerous Weitlags of Galileo, Pascal, Louis XIV., de Lavru- ere gud & lost of other persons, I possess 2,000 let- ers Of Kabdlals, a iarge number purporting to wriiten, by Copernicus, Christopher Columbus, Car- gan, Tortoiea, Calvin, Luther, Scatiger, Mactua- velll, Michel and others, Angelo, Kaphaei, Charies V. ail addressed to Rabelais; many letters «addressed to Clement Marot, numer- ous unpublisiied mysteries and pieces of poetry attributed to Margaret d’Angouléme, numerous iet- ters aud pieces of poetry, together with advice to his son, the authorsaip of Wlicu Was agsigued to Francia LL; pun ters and poetical pieces sald to be writtea by Mavy Stuari, several hundreds of letters from Montaigne, many fro!

It cannot Bre moneyt be onda leg that they were borrowed rom priate: uhesé documeuts were Gh] believed, the contributions of Petra¥ch, Laura an Clemeuce Isaure were sent to Rabelais, by Nostrada- mus, who ovilected them at Avignon. The dates assigned to the above mentioned papers are recent compared With some others, which pur- port to have been writien at the commence- ment of the Christian era, and even at ap earier date; a goodiy number vearing the names of Julius Cesar and other Roman Emperors, also Of the Aposties and St. Jerome, Gregory of Tours, St. Augustine, Charlemagne and many oisthe Merovin- Kings. Accoruing to the docuiments ther. seives the origin of these tweasures was this:—fhe Abbey of Tours was very rich in old documents, and ‘Was still further enriched by the Abbot Alcuin, who caused researches to be made in Italy aud other for. eign countries tor any records of importance. Rabe- Jals, Who Was au entiusiast In such matters and who Was still further #timulated in his researches by Francis |. and Margaret d’Augulewe, knew of the archives of the Tours Abbey, aud he was allowed to make coples and translations of several thousands, which were subsequently found at ais hermitage of Langey, and thenve passed into tie collection of Foucault, a member of tae Academy of luseriptions, Who died at the commencement of the last ceutury. In conclusion Ai, Chasies added:— 1 Go not assume the responsivility of the genuine- nese of the Whole Of these papors; but, whatever they may be, it is indisputabie that their compost. tion, li they are not original, must have required rolonged iabor and numerous materials, and if tt be borne in mind Low they dovetail tnto each other, from the earliest time to the beginning of the last century, and the great variety of subjects of wi'ch they Lrent, it seems impossible to believe that tuey can be the work of one person, of a single fabricas tor, who, moreover, knew noting whatever of the Latin and Italian languages, and was just aa igno ant as regarded mathenratics and the otuer selences treated of in a considerable nuinber of them, ¥ ‘Lhere is, theretore, a wiystery to be penetrated, aud until that is doug nothing can be couciuded with cer- tainty. It may be added that the circumstances whitch seem to have awakened the suspicions of M. Chasl were the reporis of the commission at Florence, appointed specially with the view of inquiring into the genuineness of these documents, that the one ascribed to Galileo, or Vincent Galileo, bearing the date of Novembor 5, 1630, was @ forgery, as was also enother specimen of the same letter, which M. Chases believed to be genuine, and of which he transmitted @ photograph, REAL ESTATE MATIERS. The following 1s summary of the auction sales of veal cstate during the past week:— OITY—IMPROVED.

No more favorable time than the present could be found for the inauguration of such a board, when speculation in stocks and other unreal securities being in dis- favor from the with proper recent convulsion in values, inducements and facilities investment in real property and antees of fair dealing, it the power of an incorporated body, to the advantage and gain of the investers, as well a8 to the enhancement of land values and the gene- Tal prosperity of the country. The arguments used by those who advocate the organization of this board are simple and convincing, the dimculty in the way of the accomplishment of the design arising more from indifference on the part of many to them thaa tt would seem any atvempt at contradiction, Acircular, which speaks for four very prominent houses tn the business, says on this subject:— Associations of people engaged in similar pursuits In iife ave of very ancient origin. We have in the ma3008 an organization thousands of years old, dat- ing back to the. building of Solomon’s ‘Temple, and from that time to this many trades have had their distinctive associations, The guilds and associa- tons of trades of Europe nave beea orsanizauons of great strength and power, many of them being possessed of great wealth and carrying on impor- tant works of charity. Here in our own city we have the Produce Exchange, owned by a society of Produce dealers, where in a stugie hour miliious and Inillions of doilars’ worth of gram and produce are disposed of. The Stock Exchange also own their buuding, and within and around it the transactions of a single basy day willreach an amount alinost fabu'ous. The Gold Exchange, Mining Board, Government Board and National Stock £. change are all similar organizations. ‘There are also associations of cotton brokers, insurance brokers, a Drug Exchange, Shipowners’ Association, Shipmasters’ Associauon, and go on through ainiost every branch of business.

Every braach of labor has its organizations of employer and eceior aa We have the Employing Printers, Employing Masons, Employing Carpenters, the Typographical Union and trades’ unions of every Class, It 18 but a few days ago that one of our papers had an account of a meeting of the Associa- tion of Boot Bla of Brooklyn. It 1s especially noticed that those branches of business principally carried on through brokers all have associd- tions. We have nasociations of dealers in the produce of our land, im its precious mineral products, in the stocks of the companies that carry these products to market, and in every branch ‘of industry but this great basiness, the sale of the land itself, Our real estate business has been done in a loose, irregular way~every man for Mpeelt no arate or uallormity. “ Our business of iniiiion’ and millions could bo much botter accomplished if we were untted In it and worked together. It has been asserted by many of tie older brokers that it cannot be done, We canvot have an exchange! Why not? Are wo, tie real estate brokers, @ different class of mortals from brokers united in other branches of business? We certainly do not acknowledge any other men 2s our superiors in intellect or ability. We think it quite as dificalt a matter to effect a sale of a large and valu- able tract of property, or to negotiate a trade wi each owner is determined to fe the other’s property tor nothing, as it 1s to sell stocks or to make @ corner. A few otners besides those associated with us 1 our paper agree with us that the interests we repre. sent can be advanced more fully and surely by United effort than by the single-handed, seiflsh prin- ciple which is now the rule and not the exception Qmong the real estate brokers. It does indeed seem singular that o business so extensive and important as that of the purctiase gud sale of real estate and the loaning of money on land security should be thus without any systematic association, any recognized centre of information or communication. which would secure something like uniform conduct in transactions, and, by the best of all means, publicity, ensure fair and honorable rela- tions among dealers. The proposed national con- vention of real estate men is a step in the right direc- tion for the attainment of this end, and it really 18 a matter of some surprise that instead of leading in a movement of this kina, New York evinces such wonderful indtifevence even in respect to its own local ueeds, A real estate exchange here and @ system of agencies over the whole United States could be made effectual for the protection of men irom many of the land swindles that are yeurly practised upon ignorant buyers, and in fact in eleminating from the market many of the tricks, such as bogus gaies for instance, whigh tie present irresponsible system of dealings permfis, less crimi- nal porhaps than to deserve to be thus character ized, but yet being more or less impositions, In this view of the matter, and regarding the interests of the pubite and of all honorable brokers as certain to be subserved thereby, it would seem that the Abe lishment of a rea! estate exchange 13 “a consu urna. tion most devoutly to be wished,” and its prowoters deserving of encouragement, Renl Estate Notes.

Arrivals at This Port During the Presont Year=Where the Emigrants Come From, The statistics given below show the progress of emigration to this country since the beginning of the current year, or rather that to this port. The city of New York, however, is the main port of entry to the entire country for toreign emigrants, so that it is safe to say that. the arrivals at this port comprise the greatest part of the emigration to the entire country, To receive aud care for such large numbers of emt- grants until they are shipped securely on the routes they wish to travel or placed in the hands of friends, and thus saved from the clutches of sharpers and swindlers, is a work of no small dimensions. It is most consclenctousiy and ratise factorily performed, however, by the Cominissioners of Emigration, through their general agent, ir. Bernard Casserly, and his assistant emigration wo the New World is now entiroiy unattended by ing horrors and trials to which emigrants were subyecte some years ago.
