INSTRUCTIONS OF THE OTTOMAN
PLENIPOTENTIARY A r VIENNA.

The Pays gives es follows the text of the inetrute
Dons with which the Ottoman government has fora•
nished its ambassador at Vienna, as to his conduct in
the Conference :
As moon as your Excellency announced that Prince Gad-
elsakoff, in the name of his government, had accepted the
four g tee points, with the interpretation assigned to
them by the three Power', it was notified to your Etat-
lency, by order of his Imperial Majesty, that you should at-
tend the conferences about to be opened, but that yea
should discuss the questions raised merely ad referendum.
The conditions of the future peace are is fact of too vital
importance fur the Sublime Porte to permit of their being
decided without the greatest circumspection and the ma-
tweet reflections on our part. It will only be after a long
end minute examination of those conditions and the gals•
tions of right connected with them, as likewise of the ele-
ments of their practical application—it will only be
when everything shall have been concerted with our allies,
that our plecipote ntiary at Vienna can be furaisbed with
precise and definite instructions. Nevertheless, as it is
requisite that your Excellency should have a few mind
instructions, to which you can adapt your language so the
occasion may require, we impart to you the following
general indications.
When the time .ball have arrived for giving a complete
definition of the four articles, and drawing up a plan for a
treaty of peace, the Sublime Porte bowing the iedispetabh
right to be heard both on the principles that coustitets its
basis and on their practical consequences, it is iedispecuble
that this plan should be submitted to our considentiel
before it shall be proposed to Russia for her acceptance, sad
that we should first discuss it with the Allied Powers, with
the view of 'eig at one combo. resolution.
' This mode of proceeding is too natural to admit of a
doubt., respecting the adhesion of tie representative ci
those Powers on this subject. Nevertheless, by way of
additional precaution, and to obviate any future mirsader-
standing or difficulty, your Excellency will on this point
enter into formal explanations with Count Hued, Lord
Westmoreland. and Baron Bourqueney, end you will
transmit to us the result.
Let us now proceed to the four articles above mentioned.
In the first it would be incurnbent,w hen abolishiegßitedie
protectorate over Wallachia and Moldavia, that the rights
granted by the Porte to these two Principalities, as also to
Sergio, should be established in one organic law, and plated
under the pearantee of the great Powers. On this wide
there are numerous other important observations to be weds,
which deserve the attention of the allies. In the first plisse
they should not be left under the erroneous impression.
which appears to exist, that a real protectorate has ever
been granted to Russia by virtue of treaties concerning the
Danubian provinces. All that results from those Inane
mat be reduced to an assurance give n to Russia, that the
institutions established in these provinces should be 'wake
modified nor destroyed. But under the pretext of neigh-
bourhood and similarity of religion, Russia, as is will
known, without the slightest respect for existing Mints.

to gain her own ends, end satisfy her own private interests,
as the conduct of theßussian consuls, in arrogating adefede
sovereignty at Jassy and Bucharest, has at ell times proved.
It is therefore meet that the guarantee of the Powers shield
be dearly defined and explained, so that, without at all
interfering with the internal condition end administratioa
of the Principalities, it may confine itself appropriately to
securing their privileges from destruction, and their existing
institutions from encroachment. It is equally essential to
