CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 12, 1869. The fleld of Beicos, on which the Turkish troops were paraded before the Emperor of Austria, is ad- mirably adapted for the evolutions of infantry, but 1s not roomy enough for cavalry movements, it was partly on this account, but principally vecanse of the inferiority of both men and horses, that the review, to which [ have already referred by letter, was a failure. As the last regiment passed I heard an Englishman exciaim, “If Turkey has nothing better than this to show hor army 1s a poor defence.” An enterprising traveller, of Connecticut origin, made the following remark on the cavairy:—“I doa’t think General Sheridan would let them feliows pass,’ The number of spectators present at the review of Beicos was smali im comparison with the crowas that flocked, not many days before, to catch a giimpse of the French Empress as she eat in the kiosk of the Padishanh and witnessed a sceno with- out parallel in Moslem history—the review of an army assembled from all parts of the Turkian empire for the purpose of gratifying the curiosity of the wife of @ Christian monarch. As Lhavo stuted in my former letter, the visit of the Emperor of Austria has aroused po enthusiasm, or, to speak more correctly, no curtosity, The hm- press Eugénie was the first iady of high degree who “had come from ® Christian land to be the guest of the chief of the Motianimedan world, She had come from the West, where woman is re. spected, to the Rast, where woman 1s either an instrament of pleasure or an obédient, if not willing, slave. No man who knows the East could for # moment suppose that either tho French Hmpress or the Austro-Hungarian monarch could arouse in the minda of the faithfal aubjects of the Sultan anything more than a feeling of imtense curiosity. In speaking thus I refer, of course, to the great mass of the Turks, The few men who bavea certian semblance of European education, and who understand well enough the pomtion of ‘turkey mn Kurope, with its complete dependence on the Western nations for moral support, and, what 16 now Of stili_ more importance, for material ald in the form of joans, are the only Mussvimans who ook upon the visit of @ Christian sovereign with auythtug more than curiosity.

He had no new systeih to oifer, he said, as the old had answered very well; experiments were dangerous; It was better to retain that which had been tried for tne last twenty years. They would tad he bill an em- bodiment of all the laws on instruction as passed heretofore and a full recognition of the prerpgative of the Church to exercise contrul over achools and teachers, ‘Ihis is the very point Which has caused go muon indignation against the Minister and bis de- partment, and to which he adheres with a tenacity worthy of @ vetier cause. Tne bill contains 170 paragraphs, more than half of which treat on the religious character of public instruction, sugervision Of the clergy, theological requirements of teachers and the general superintendence of educational es- tablishments as belonging to tue Church. Another vill, offered by Von Minler, and which last year was rejected by a large majority, proposes an amendment of the constitution by striking out “gratuitous” instruction at the public schools, as vouchsafed in article twenty-five. The reproduction of this bill is @ bold attempt, just at this period, to heap another burden upon the people and assist the State in squandering atill greater sums upon the obnoxious military establishment. To heap Ossa upon Pelion Herr Muhler announced a third bill respecting the support of teachers’ widows and orphans, for which purpose the State treasury had bo funds, and which henceforth sual be supplied by the communities. Many were the signs and seunds of disapprobation on the benches of the iiberals of all shades during the Minister's remarks. No discussion, however, was entered into, ag the three bills are not yet printed. When taken up again, which may not be the case for two or three weeks, they will cause excited debates, and justify hopes of such utter dis- comiture of Herr Muhier that vowing may remain to bim but resignation, The new Minwier of Finance, Herr Campnansen, opened, on Friday, the oudget debate vy develop. ing Ds plan of converting the national debt into “vent,” thereby evading te necessity of annual amortization, reducing the fyures of the budget and covering the deficit. His long-winded arguments ia favor 1 the measure Were listened to by tue repre- gentatives with considerable reserve, and that por- tion only of bis remarks which announced the with- drawal of twenty-five per cent lucrease of taxes, proviaed that his pew measure would be accepied, licited aplause. Several conservatives expressed their willingness to support government in tais flnan- cial reforim, alleging thatit Was the only expedient to remove the deticit and that many oter countries bad isc national debt the jorm of a reniage. The Nberals of the Fortschritt wing, among them deputies Dr. Lowe, Provessor Vircnow, Richter and otuers, applied a close scrutiny lo toe measure, they slowed that conversion was expeusive, that tue principle of wiping off old scores was @ sound one, that tne deficit was permanent aud would re- main so unless the new Minister could successfully oppose the insatiable demands of lus colicague of the War Department. rrofessor Virchow showed the uselessness of discussing budgets when government utterly disregarded the amounts a3 yoved by the Legisiatare, and in the absence of ministerial responsibility, After having wasted the fuuds of tne State a Minister may send in his resignation, What ig tne Use Of an éuté if it is Constanuy overstepped ? Mullons squandered for unprolitabie purposes, such as heavy aunuities to former princes, whose terri- tory societimes did nob stretch over vail a square mile; large Indemnitications to tie miniature States of the Bund, incapable to pay their proportion for the army, aud with all that not @doilarin the trea- sury to itive to teachers’ widows and orphans. An increase of the ¢iai of the Department of Justice, by more prisons and houses of correction, and at the same tine a saving of a few thousands by Herr Von Mihier in pubic instruction, The latter has never dared yet to overstep his état by a dozen dol- lars, while dozens of miliions In excess are yearly ent by the Military Department. As to the na- tlonal liberals, wuose votes comimand the majority. they wiil, undouviedly, throw their iniuence into tae scaies of the goverhiment, though not without demanding, on the other hand, a few concessions, such as the right of voting the revenue according to a while at present article 109 of the constitution establishes that the exiting taxes and duties coutl- nue to be levied, restriciing thus the veto of the Chamber to new duties. The motion next in order was that of Professor | Virchow relative to the proposed diminution of the burdens of the Prussian people, urging on govern- ment @ reduction Of the mitary efat. in support of this motion tue Protessor alluded to the present favor political sitnation, when, France and Austria are fo occupied with unelr Inter- nal affairs that there 18 no probability of war. European States, moreover, he said, were fuily imnued with the iesson that only by means of peace, commerce and indusiy they could advance in civilization and progress Under such circuinstances was unnecessary to inain~ tain a vast «military = array. if Prussia would set the example of reduction, ether States, it oy, on Mancial grounds, would speedily follow, and if no European Congress woald ve convened the desired result coald be achieyed by diplomatic action.

So suow thal we are | not incitned ply to vote down Deputy Virchow’s metion, we ourselves prepared one to the fol- lowing effect:—Whereas the smulitary écat is draaly tixed until the close of 1871, whereas only at that period i+ would be possible to decide bow far the in- Verests of the nation admit of reduction; whereas the conviction of the Prussian people and its repre- bentatives 18 WO general LO adinit of a doubt 4% to the necessity of a reduction, if in any way possible, @nd therefore needs no formal resoiution; aud whereas, on the otaer hand, tt is the duty of the representatives to adhere to @ constitutional agree- ment aud avoid doing anyibing prejudicial to it before the expiration of its term tk 1871; reselved, that the motion of Professur Virchow and col- leagues be laid upon the table for the present.’ Deputy Lasker further said that in his opinion all diplomatic negetiauons towards disariha- ment would have a directly contrary resull. The great questions of civilization cannot be solved by the rusty agency of diplomats. A systematic disarmament is only possible whea Germany shall have aiained such ap Imposing alli- tude that neighboring gountries would consider it a vain effort to wage war Wit her, Couildence in dis- armament could only result {rom solemn treaties in @ European Congreas. suct’as proposed by Napoleon iL, but whlch England, under the Just impression that wt would lead to war lmbroglios, has deciiued, The debate closed by first putting to the vore Deputy Lasker's motion and afver it thacof Professor Virchow, but the firsy having been declined by @ considerable majority this was decisive of the fave of the secoud, inasinuch as the ninety-nine votes belonging 1 fortschiritt party aud Po.es were ia favor, and Votes, comprising ali the other parties, against it. it may thus ve seen how utterly fruidess has been the attempt to suake the iroa military reginw. ‘What nothing in the suave of reform coutd Lave been ex- pected Irom the new Minister of #inanve is obvious trom his having accepted the appointment ina cabinet composed of a Bismarck aod Vou Koon.

Great has been the political agitation here for the last few days, The resignation of Siivela, Secretary of State, and Ardaiiaz, Minister of Finance, created both surprise and excitement, being looked upon as an ill omen: bat the resignation of Topete came upon the country like a thunderbolt.
