STATE PAPER. MANIFESTO OF THE PORTE AGAINST RUSSIA. " From the remota periods, human fociety has been indebted for the fecurity and tranquillity it has enjoyed to the confcientious obfervance difplayed by nations of their treaties and conventions, and thofe Powers who have ailed contrary to this confcientinus adherence, conßantly bring diforder and confufion into the harmony of the whole. Every lawful So vereign is at liberty, when he pleafes, to break with another Power, but not before he has confidered with the utmoß attention the Reps which ought to he taken in fimilar circumflances. The Ruffian Court has long ufurped a fuperiority in order to opprefs the neighbouring Powers, and all her endeavours have been directed to break through her treaties. Her avarice, the perfidy with which the conaantly inter rupts the peace of nations, and her hoßile dehgns again(! the Ottoman Empire, are nniverfally known. The Court of St. Peterthurgh has always con felled the value of that friendly difpofition which the Porte has on all occafions evinced ; and yet the has returned this kindnefs with the bare( ingratitude.— Among other inflances it may be mentioned, that by the Treaty of t 188 cf the Hegira, Ruffia had no jurifdielion over the Crimea, yet has the reforted to every poffible artifice to ufurp polleflion 'of that Pro. wince, and at length, in the time of Peace, the marched a numerous army, and inveßed herfelf with the full fovereignty of the province. 6 ‘ Into the political and civil occurrences in Geor gia, which was under the fovereignty of the Ot toman Sceptre, the Ruffian Court has for a long time obtruded herfelf by a thoufand intrigues, and has at la!' inveßed herfelf with the fovereign autho tit), of that province alit', without the (mallet( pre tenfions. " The confuls who were Rationed in the Turkifh cities, have been in the praCtice of feducing the fub id(' of the Porte from their allegiance. By this condo& they have abufed the freedom of Navigation, which was permitted them for the put pv.fe of trading only, and they have embarked a great number of Turkifh fubjeas, in Ruffian vefiels, and fent them off for Ruffia. There ConfUls alf,) gave patents to the Turk : fh fubjeCts, and flags to the (hips of the Elands in the Archipelago, being cities of the Ottoman Empire ; and thus attempted in a moll unlawful manner to potret; themfelves of iminenfe numbers of Turkith vetfels and fubjeas. " It was to be hoped,that as friendthip was again teßored, by a Treaty of Alliance between Ruffia and the Sublime Porte, the former would abtlain from her perfidious coodua : on the contrary, the con= trived, out of this new league, a Rill more daring me thod of difplaying her malignant defigns. With the vain glorious idea of exciting a general infurreetion, in order to fpread domeflic diflurbances, even in the cities of her Allies, the reduced the fubjeas of Strvia from their allegiance ; and as the furnithed them with money and ammunition, the was in fart their fuppert and leader. " Upon a tingle occafion only, the Ruffians had been permitted to tranfmit provifinns to their troops at Tiflis; the Sublime Porte, out of refpeer to their Allies, delayed not a moment in doing the requisite firman. Scarcely had the Ruffians received this permit ion, when they embarked upon the Phafis nu merous bodies of troops, with cannon, and other implements of war, by means of which they feized upon the Cattle of Anacava, and as they have now fortified it, they hare !hewn plainly their bale deigns. 'When the Porte, with great propriety, requetied of the Ruffian Minifler at Contlantinople, that thefe pro. ceedings thould be detifled from, an evafive anfwer was always returned, a d n, difpotition whatever was (hewn to make a becoming reparati rn. " The conduit of the Court of Rut% feems al ways to have been aEluated by a 11.44 totally con• trary to the terms on which the had al ie ! herfelf to the Porte. B .th empires had agreed, that Ruffs bad no fuperior controul over the Republic of the Seven Iflands, which had acknowledged the love. reignty of the Sublime P a te. Each Power had given that Republic a gar trantee. When circumllances required tionps to be marched into thefe territories, both the Allied Powers were to furnith them jointly, and the coottitotioa of the Republic was fully eßa blilbed, ackn o wledged, and approved of by both Powers. Nora it handing this conventi , al, the Ruffian Court feta as many troops as they pleated to thefe Iflatvls; a c.arttitotion was framed at St. Pett rfbnrgh; and tranfroitted to this Republic, the OirICCS In which were tilled up by Ituffia, as if it were a country which lawfully belonged to her. Betides all this, thefe illands were made a receptacle for the Turkifh fish jeer, fr , rn Ramelia, who were either fecretly or pub licly feduced from their allegiance ; and proteCtion been thub held out u' traitors of every defct fed w i t h t h r ,. th e re was no into igtie which relented to againil the Miniflers or the Sub ate in there ifland; and particularly again( :ellency Ali Pacha of Janina. se Sublime Porte had refolved to r bferve the .nfcientious neutrality towards the Powers of now at o a r ; and the Ruffian Court, which d none of the rules of neutrality, and alto to &limy that of the Porte, abufed the pia alloo ed her of fending her (hips through the Sea for the ale of the Seven Iflands alone. Ruffians, by means of their emilToies, fecrerly !d troops in Albania, and tranimitted them, rans of the above privilege of navigation, to without the knowledge of the Porte. feemed "determined to diflurb the peace Wad, when the excited, by means of her emit an ik.7arrettion at Montenegro, when the ad troops into the very heart of the Todd& 1, and committed a variety of other a& tend. provoke " With the fame views, Roffia publithed patents poffibility of placing any confidence in her muft be in the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia, and ap• allowed by ill nations who are guided by lenity and propriated to herfelf inhabitants without number, candour. under various pretended tides. She treated both 66 Although the above motives for going to war thefe provinces as if they were her own poffeffions : are the refult of tranfa&ions openly acknowledged by her confuls took a (hare in their adminittration : . the whole world, and it may not be thought necef fhe petered with conflant complaints and hone de• i fary to make any declaration on the fubjeft ; yet, in monarations the Hofpodars who had been named by order to conform to diplomatic etiquette, the prefent [ the Porte, and who did not fulfil her wishes, and 1 Manifetto is hereby communicated to all the Foreign openly proteSed all Inch as teftified an adherence to Minifters at Conflantinople, in order that they may Ruffia ; fo that the nomination by the Porte of the tranfmit it to their refpeftive Courts.

We (hall here give an example of this. 44 The Sublime Porte lately difmifTed the two Hofrdars of Moldavia and Wallachia, in conk quence of canting cir cumfiaaces. The Ruffian Go -1 vernment took offence that they were not confulted, and prefumed to oppofe this arr..ngement. Any longer indulgence to the traitorous Hofpodar of Wal lachia, whlie perfidy had been ft.fficiently evinced on many occafions, vinuld have been highly deiti mental to the Porte, and if Ruffia had been apprifcd of his intended difmiffal, the intelligence would have reached that Hofpodar, which would have ocea finned a great deal of confulion ; on which account Raffia was not informed until he was aftually dif miffed. Some time afterwards, the Ruffian Mini (ter at Conffantinople made a requifition to the Porte on behalf of his Government, that thefe Hot podars timid be reflored, and he was commanded, in the event of a refufal. to leave Conflantinople with all his fuite, as he afferted in all his communi cations. He afterwards declared that his Govern ment did not feize this as a pretext to difplay the lion& defignr imputed to it ; but added, that the refforation of the Hofpodars was the tole and true cask& of his Government ; and that if the Porte con , tented to it, all mifunderltandings between the two Courts would ceafe; and that as he was commanded to communicate the refult of this negotiation to the frontiers, he would immediately write on the fubjed. The Sublime Porte taw from this official declaration, that the Ruffian Court fought a pretext for declaring war, and it was obvious frcm her unjutlifiable and narrow minded arrogance, thather °Nat was to blame the Porte with the difplay of thole hoffile intentions which the herfelf cherithed. The Porte contented, though contrary to its intereft, to rellore the two Hofpodars, in order that the Ruffian Government might have no caufc for complaint to the other powers of Europe. 44 It was for a while believed that Ruffia, afhamed of her condoe, had defined from all intention of making war upon the Porte. Two months and a half thus elaptzd without fufpicions, when , at the v ery I, moment that every thing belpoke peace and it iendfhip, 1 Ru ffi an troops appeared on the Turkith frontier— while the inhabitants, as well as the Governors of I Choczim and Bender, conadered themfelves in full fecurity is confeguerce of the alliance fubaiting be tween the two Empires. The Commanders of the Ruffian troops abufed the confidence they repofed in them as friends, and after prafliting every fpecies of artifice, poffeffed themfelves of thefe two fortreffes, , contrary to the law of nations, as refpefted by every I civilized Power. " The Sublime P.,rte which had not been apprized of tLis invafinn, required a declaration on the fubje& from the Ruffian Nlininer at Constantinople: the latter repeatedly declared that he had written to his Court of the refforation of the Hofpodars, as well as that of the Ruffian Confab, on the Dniener, by virtue of the difpatches he had received on thefe fubje&s ; and that the recent advance of thole troops was no con fequence of the above proceedings; fo far as he was` concerned himfelf, he knew of no ground for any rupture, and his Court had made no communication to him on the fubjeft. As the Sublime Porte received the intelligence quite unexpe.ftedly of the honilities of the Ruffians, by their occupation of the above fortreffes, and the ufurpation of the Turkith cities, 1 they might have removed the Ruffian Minifter im mediately from the capital ; and although it would have been but fair to refort to ufurpation againft ufurpation, yet the Sublime Porte, which had always evinced fo much lenity, was unwilling that indivi duals fhould fuller from the inconveniences of war ; and therefore allowed the Ruffian Minifter a certain time in order to obtain from his Court a declaration on the fubje& of thefe proceedings. The Ottoman Porte arced in this manner with the view of giving the Court of Raffia an opportunity of aging with [reining continency in the eyes of other Powers, and thinking the would, for (hame fake, at leaff refpe& the laws of nations. 4; But after waiting 3o days from the commence ment o f ' l nfinities, no anfwer was obtained from the Ruffian Minifter, except affurances that he had re• caved no declaration from his Court on the fubjeft ; and as the patience of the Porte was nearly exhauit• ed, it would have been dangerous and detrimental to have granted any farther delay. On the other hand, General Michelfon had fent inflammatory Proclama tions to the Judges and Governors of Romelia, in order to (educe the Muffulmen, and to tow difcord in the cities of t"e Empire. " To conclude, the Ungraceful condo& of Ruffia to the Ottoman Court is without example, and will never be imitated perhaps by any other power. As the hoililities of the Ruffians have now openly cons rnencett, every Isluffulman i., hound, by his religion, and the law of nations, to take vengeance on thefe per fidious enemies, againfl whom it has become ne ceffary folemnly to declare war. The Sublime Porte places its whole confidence on the Almighty and avenging Goy; and in order to check the career of. the enemy, it has become neceffary to make exertions both by lea and land, to organize all our forces, and to a& with energy and vigour. The Sublime Porte has therefore declared war, becanfe its extraordinary' lenity has only tended to increafe the arrogance and tiforpations of Rtiffia. 44 As the Sublime Porte has done every thing to conciliate, the Ruffian Court will be anfwerable for the blood which mutt be thee, and the miferies which mutt befal mankind, and until the latter Conti is taught to telped her unties and alliances, the im- THE EVENING STAR.

Dutch Papers to the lit inilant arrived yeflerday evening, but they bring nothing of importance. It is reported that private accounts have been received from Rotterdam, dated two days later than the above journals, which Hate, that on the preceding day (Thurfday laft), an exprefs had arrived there, with an account of a great battle having been fought on the 23d of March, in which the French were com pletely vidorious, and poffefted themfelves of Konigf burg. That the two armies could not remain long in their refpeetive fituations without coming to battle, we have repeatedly dated ; but we cannot lightly credit reports refpeiting an event of fuch moment, without any pofitive accounts on the fubjed being received. A Hague paper of Wednefday laft, of which we have fern a copy, brings accounts from Berlin to the 27th, in which no mention is made of any fuch battle. To this we add, that in an Edin burgh paper received this morning, there is ati extraB of a letter from Palau, received by a Gentle man in Aberdeen, dated the 26th ult. three days later than the date of the reported battle, which takes no notice of any fuch event. The writer Pays—" lam happy to inform you, that the enemy are every where defeated. They are upon the retreat, and purfued by the Ruffian army. This fortunate event fecures our communica ion with Britain, whence chips may now come in all fafety." Another report of a nature direltly the reverfe of the above is alfo in circulation, that the left wing of the French army in Poland was defeated by the Ruffians on the atth ult.—Such an event, however, could hardly have taken place at that date, without the particulars having been dated in Come way or other in the journals already received. We wait with much anxiety the receipt of regular acounts from tte theatre of war; events of great magnitude may be expeEted fpeedily ; for Naro,.som would hardly have fent to Italy for MASSENA, if he had had any thoughts of allually refinquithing his views on Poland, without narking another great effort to retrieve his aff , irs in that quarter. —The next battle will iirohably lie a mpft bloody one. NAPOLEON Milt out flank and &teat the left wing of the Ruffian army, or entirely fail in his views. BEKNIGSEN knows this, and of courfe is pre- pared Niche onfet ; but he has an arduous talk to perform, as he mull, at , he fame time, provide for the relief of Dantzic. We have •reafon, however, to believe that by this time lie•has received confiderable reinforcements ; and the. difplay he has already given of military (kill and prowefs, affords ftrong grounds to hope that he will foil his enemy in the objet he has in view. A veffel from the coalt of France, which left Cherburgh on Friday lad, brings an account of Come difturbances having broken out in the neighbourhood of that town, in confequence of an extraordinary levy of confcripts, which bad been made of boys, one year younger than any aho had yet been de manded for the army. So determined was the oppo• fition of the inhabitants to this oppreffive meafure, that it was neceffarily given up. Throughout the whole of the data of La Vendee no levy has been lately enforced. The Emperor ALKICANDER, accompanied by his' brother the Grand Duke Con rrserrtas, has fet off from Saint Peterfburgh to join the Armies, and of courfe, we prefume, to take the command into his own hands. _ _ Saturday evening, after the Cabinet Council, Mr. JAcxsoN, the extraordinary Mellinger, was fent off with difpatches to Lord Hurc Him SON. • A Cabinet Council will be held to.morrow, a cir cular letter having been fent to all the Members of the New Cabinet, defiring their attendance.
