Ottoman Diplomats
Letters from the Imperial Legation in Brussels (1849–1914)
Synopsis
Composition du nouveau ministère. - Une annexe.
Etienne Carathéodory Effendi reports that the new Catholic Malou government was formed in Belgium. This was officially announced on June 16th by Royal orders, published by the Belgium Official Journal (the Moniteur Belge), that also mentioned the composition of the government. Carathéodory notes that the new Prime Minister, Jules Malou, was also the new Minister of Finance. In the remainder of his report, he mentions the other members of the new government: Charles Woeste was the new Minister of Justice, Victor Jacobs was Minister of the Interior and of Public Education, Auguste Beernaert was Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Public Works, Alphonse de Moreau was Minister for Foreign Affairs, General Pontus was Minister of War, and Jules Vandenpeereboom was Minister of Railways, Post Services and Telegraph Services. The new ministers took their oaths, and immediately thereafter, they visited the foreign ministers in Brussels. Again, Malou assured Carathéodory of the government’s profound sympathies for the Ottoman Empire, to which Carathéodory replied that these sympathies were mutual.
