The Ottomans carried out intelligence activities since the founding years which are the nature of every state. In those activities, the escorts, merchants, messengers, passengers, sailors and travelers are employed, especially the spies, which are sometimes mentioned tebdil and sometimes sleuth in the documents. In this study, it was investigated that how the other information channels, including especially the Ottoman spies, were charged for the service provided. In this context, it was investigated that how much timar was allocated to those who were in spying service in the previous years, how the Sultan paid tribute to them, how much he paid in the next periods, and also it was mentioned that the difficulties encountered during the payment of the salary and the ways the central and local administrators applied to overcome those difficulties. The study is basically based on the documents obtained from the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Ministry and works of the Ottoman authors. In addition to this, the researches and studies related to the subject are also used. In this way, some important data were reached in a field which is little-known in the Ottoman history.
