Thais but iar feeble and futile explanation of sitch an important fea ture of the national polity of Turkey. The system of this Erni - tire lives patriarchal, and the priests of Islam guarded against any in troduction of that eudal aristncracy,:which would form a secular pUwer in- the, State, counterbalancing their,nwu, and at variance with the Scythian denaocracy, which ever came conquering from the desert. Such be ing the views of Islami4m, the Sultana were brought,to fall in with the.m, and adopt the harem principle—with. little difficulty. very probably., .This systeini . was necessarily per-, severed in ; marriage with any Turkish la dies was out of. the -4uestitfti. No Turk would permit his daughter to cater the Serai, a sort of slave in de midst of 'the.sfaves of Georgia, Circassia or Italy. Forinerly, the girls of the Italian consta—parucularly those of Sicily—were preferred to all others. It was found that 'Georgians and Circassians, with their languishing black .eyes and lan guishing natures, had Ilittle?of the active 'temperament and sprightly Wit of the Euro pean maidens. It was] a prOverb Wooded upon physical experience, that' the children of the Italians ivere mostly boys, while tin& of the Asiatics were mostly girlS. Formerly, ,Turkish pirates or Offieragedeiescould carry oil or procure young- Italians{ Or &Minus ; but now that source is dried up, andithe in mates of the harem are mostly briatlght in childhood, from the hills -of IGeOrgia and Circasga. Very ! often the poor little chil dren that, in Europe, atie sent to the Found ling Hospitals, are (supposing they are beau tiful,) those which mayl the mast readily be come—as they have . become,-rnothera' of the greatest sovereigns in 'the '• world !—but there is no want .of othor children- fur the purpose.

On his ascension to tie throne, the Sultan sends all his father2s Womankiud liivay to the Ed, Serat, or old Palace, and proceeds to make his own selections. This Was said to be dune by inarchind down a longlline of blooming and unveiled 1 beauties, add toss ing a handkerchief to the most captivating. But "the charming Mary Montagu, :,'j in one of her letters to her sister, the Countess of Mar, speaking of an interview, at Adrian ople, with the ix-Sultana j flaked, says this is a 'mistake. "The Sultana assured me," she writes, "thatl:he story of the Sul tan throwing a handk rchief, is altogether fabulous, and the mar Mer upon Ma l t occa sion, is no other than 'this: lie - seilds, the Kislar Aga to signify.to t the young lady the honor he iutends her. She is immethately complimented on it by the Others, and led i i to the bath, where s e is, perfurded and dressed in the most magni fi dent and becom e mg manner.' The Eirperor precedes his visit by a royal present and then copses to ,her apartment. Neither is the're any such thing as creepin g in at he.bed-loot.

The Sultan : who fi rst r esents the Padish with a silo, is' thence orward i styled KtVssciti Sultada—the Sultana par escellenie. The birth of the boys is an nounced with enormoos firing of cannon along the 13osphorus—ri greater noise of ar tillery, as we are told by the laughably sple netic Macfarlane (art has pelted, every thing, Turkish—from the Padishah's broth: er-ia-law, down to thedogs in the iltreets!) than the English makelfor their Waterloos and Tisfalgars. The girls, thbugh old Ful ler would call them 4. silent ;shine," in a dynastic respect, yet hive their reasonable cannonades also. The suctessiots of the Sultan's favorites is so airanged as to exclude the chances of a, pallin monotony, Occa sions vegularly occur, on which, for good ,reasons, such as old ag —harem ladies are emsidered old at Bs—Sultanas are sent away to the old Palace, to return no more; This, of waste necessitates •a tillidg up l 'of their places ; for the loran enjoins acertain num ber ; and the Padishah is too good a Mussel man to go.against it.

As fin the daughters * , they ' are not such useless things as.peopfe may imagine. Their lives are generally of greater interest to those out side of the palace than.those of the boys.- - As, in - Chins, the sisters and daughters of the Imperial [Ouse are given iii marriage to the Mongolian Chiefs of the frontiers sti in - Turkey, the requiem cd. the Padisliah's blood are betrothed to the great officers of the etn pire -7inen who generally raise themselves, by personal desert of one sort of other, front the humblest 'yanks el scriety —a society which really contains as much yeptiblican equality as exists anywhere et4e- in the world—not excepting the United States.— The Grand Vi2ler. or able Pasha, clever manager of - the finances, is informed that the Sultan has 's' little wife for him and-sub mits a vast show of gratitude. This tette is very often Under age—that it less than 15—. and the bridegroom must wait : he must do more: he must be at charges- for the dig= uffied education, support, and so forth, of his royal bride, till she comes - to him 1 In this way the Sultan is relieved from the !expense of bringing up his tentale children. II the affianeed husband rebe:s, or dies, the in nocent little widow is given to somebody'. else. , A' small !woman of nine years :old is often the Consolable relict of a couple of grim 'pashas: and Men of fifty and sixty have wives of fifteen. • And not in this way alone does the politic ruler seek, to hind . the litgh officers to their allegiance !and duty.

The women of the harem are kept very close. The 'Kislar Aga himself, the sable guverner of the whole palace, cannot come into the presence of the • 'ccidtn,' or the udaliks, till he is' sent fur, and then only sees them veiled. A iordOn male attendant* completely extends round that "sacred" womanhood.. The doctors who attend the:',estabhshinent, and who are generally of the class of the. other serfs are brought to after dr patient has been cov ered up in a veil, ain when he wants to feel pulses, can onlir.do it through a bat of mus iin cloth.Whett the harem is removed frimt one place to another-from Sumunir to Win ter. quarters-,—there is as much tiOuble and watchfulness as in the movement of sonic large menagerie of wild animals. The .wo• men are closely, veiled, and pass under iv/p -ings from the Sera' gates to the 1;0114(43's yr close barges,:-the blacks and /4frsangees run-. ning , backward and forwatd,'and" warning every one to keil,p out of stent,--not to look the wrong wan the peril of his lite. , In spite of all preettu!4 - ins, the secrets of the harem* manage to slip out.

Their niale - children . , would be considered as.helonging to the royal family, and perhaps, in time, pretenders. to the throne , in some possible crisis. ' It is, there fore, understood (such is the testimony of I most igthoriiies on the subject,) that these boya are to be put out, of the way. The . l dest and favorite dau ghter Ore late Sultan Mahmoud was married to Said Pasha, a man who mile from, the indigent ranks of 'the peo ple. 1 This poor ' , Sun and Moon Sultana," as she was called, knew that if she had a male child ,it Must be destroyed, and resolved she would not, see its face. One of those. woman, whose sinister - vocation in Turkey. (at !emit in'thg larger cities,) would' seem to be as general as that of accoucheuse, prom. ired that abortion should-be procured at the expense of a' slight illness, and the unhappy wile accepted the offices of the -- beldame.-- - - The result was that the - Sultana perished.--r Her father, 2dihmoud, was in despair, and doubtless deplored the deadly customs of his dypasty.
