traces of these various incidents.
" The Sublime Porte is happy to be able to communi-
este to his Excellency Count Nessclrode a supreme trade,
which gives publicity to the result of theme labours.
If the Emperors Russia hare on all °evasions evinced
their active earn for the maintenance of The immunities and
privileges of the orthodox Greek Church, within the limits of

testify their old and enduring benevolence towards their
Christian subjects.
" His Majesty the Sultan Abdtd now reigning,
is animated by the KAM mentiments, and—desirous to give
to hts Majesty the Emperor of Russia a personal proof of

unbounded confidence in the alietinguisheil qualities of

dim Church of the East, and which are now confirmed by
him ; and, moreover, to make the Greek ritual participate,
in an equitable spirit, in the advantages conceded to other
Christians by any convention or special ordinance (5).
" As the Imperial firmen which has just been granted to
the Greek patriarch and clergy, and which contains the
confirmation of their spiritual privileges, will of course be
regarded as a new proof of those generous sentiments—
and as, moreover, the promulgation of this finnan affords
a guarantee which will dispel for ever all fear with regard
t p the ritual which is the religion of H.M. the Emperor of
Russia, I ant happy to bet charged with the duty of making
Vie present intimation. As for the tem.:ware for the future,
