§ In reply to Mr. A. M'ARTHUR,
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEsaid: Information was received from Sir Henry Layard, before he left Constantinople on his return home, of the publication of a newspaper called The Peih-ul-Islam, intended for circulation among the Mussulmans in India, and containing articles of a nature calculated to influence them against British rule. As this newspaper was printed at the Imperial printing-office at Constantinople, and was stated to be subsidized by persons connected with the Turkish Government, Her Majesty's Ambassador was instructed to take such steps with regard to it as he might think advisable. Before this instruction reached him, however, his Excellency had been in communication with the Turkish Prime Minister on the subject; and on the 11th of July Her Majesty's Government were informed that the subsidy had been stopped and that the paper would not appear again.
