THE TURKISH BLUE BOOKS.
ANOTHER supplemental blue book, in relation to the
Eastern question, was issued on Saturday last- It
contains six documents, presenting the correspon-
dence between the English Government and the en-
voys of Russia in England, and of England and
Russia respectively. The following are the final
papers of the series announcing the ultimate disrup-
tion of diplomatic intercourse on either side

BARON BRUNOW TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.
(Received February 4.)
London, Jan. 23 (Feb. 4), 1834.
The undersigned, dtc., has had the honour to receive
the note which his Excellency the Earl of Clarendon, ttc
addressed to him on the 31st of January.
It does not satisfy the conditions of fair reciprocity on
which the undersigned was ordered to insist in the name
of his Court in his note of the 13th (25th) January.
That communication, if it had deep appreciated as it
deserved to be, would have had the effect, on the one hand
of confining the calamities of war within limits which could
be accepted by the two belligerent parties; while, on the
other hand, it offered to Great Britain a fresh proof of his
Majesty the Emperor's sincere desire to remove from his
relations with her every cause of misunderstanding.
The undersigned regrets that the spirit of good will
which dictated that proceeding should not have met with
intentions equally c•niciliatory. Thenceforth, his line of
conduct was traced out for him by a deep sense of respect
for the dignity of the Sovereign whom he has the honour
to represent.
Faithful to his duties, he cannot admit that her Britannic
Majesty's Government, at peace with Russia, should assume
to impede the freedom of the communications which the
Imperial marine is directed to keep up between the
Russian ports, while Turkish ships convey troops from one
Ottoman port to another under the protection of the
English squadron.
This distinction being contrary to the rules of public law
as well as to the consideration mutually observed between
friendly powers, the undersigned is thereby placed under
the impossibility of continuing to exercise his functions so
long as her Britannic Majesty's Government shall not
have resumed towards Russia an attitude conformable to
the relations of good understanding and friendship which
have so happily subsisted up to the present time between
the two countries.
The more value the undersigned attached to the main-
tenance of those relations, the more he regrets the obli
[Winn under which he labours to suspend them.
He has the honour to notify to the Earl of Clarendon,
dec., that he is about to leave London, accompanied by the
members of the embas , and to proceed to Germany until
further orders.
(Signed) BRUNOW.
THE EARL OF CLARENDON TO sin G. H. SEYMOUR.
Foreign-office, Feb. 7, 1851.
Sir,—On the evening of the 4th instant Baron Brunow
placed in my hands a note, the copy of which is herewith
enclosed, announcing that the diplomatic relations betw .ren
this country and Russia were suspended, and that he was
about to leave England with the members of the Russian
mission. Yon will, therefore, immediately on the receipt
of this despatch, inform Count Nesselrode that you are
instructed to withdraw from St Petersburg, together with
every member of her Majesty's mission.
You will return to England, and avoid all unnecessary
delay in quitting the Russian dominions.
Similar instructions will this day be addressed to M. de
Castelbajac by the French Government.
(Signed) Ci.kRENDON.

THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR IN PARIS.
Tint departure of M. de Kisseleff, says the Journal des
Debate, has caused great regret, not only amongst the
political personages who had relations with him, but also
in the whole of the society of Paris. He was universally
loved and esteemed, and his company was sought after on
account of the amusing and safe character of his inter.
course. He was an essentially obliging man, most anxious
to render service, and avoiding with the greatest solicitude
all that could annoy any person. In society he paid no
attention to political parties, being intimate with every one,
and was everywhere liked. M. de Kisseleff, though still
young, is among the oldest members of the diplomatic
corps of Russia, and one of those who can boast of the
greatest number of years of uninterrupted service. He
first came to Paris in August, 11429, a few days before the
formation of the Polignac Ministry. He had been sent
thither as secretary of the Russian embassy, of which
Count Pozzo di Borgo was then the head. But that was
not his commencement, for he had already served in Persia
and elsewhere. Nearly twenty-five years have since elapsed,
during which time have taken place the revolutions of 1830
and 1848. M. de Kisseleff witnessed them, and beheld
the consequences of them successively develop themselves
before him. In 1837 Count Pozzo di Borgo, who had
ceased to be Ambassador at Paris, having been sent in a
similar capacity to London, asked for M. de Kisseleff as
his first secretary, which WAS accorded him. The latter
retnrned to Paris in 1840 with the title of councillor of
embassy, and soon after Count Pahlen, the Ambassador,
being recalled to St. Petersburg, M de Kisseleff was placed
at the head of the mission as charge d'affaires, which post
he still held when the revolution of February broke out.
In 1819 or 1850 he was raised to the rank of minister
plenipotentiary, and in 1853 received the title of envoy
extraordinary. M. de Kisseleff had consequently passed
half of his life among the Parisians ; and it may be affirmed
that it is in France that he has gone through the various
degrees of his career. It is affirmed beyoni a doubt that
he loves France and the French by taste and by gratitude,
and that he saw with a real grief the differences which
arose between the two Governments relative to the Eastern
question. He did not at first foresee all its consequences,
