DUTCH MAIL

SMYRNA, AUGUST 17.

The Oriental Spectator gives some extracts bum
thr notes of Baron Strogonoiff to the Sublime Po►te,
dated the t and 9Gth July, regrrtimg that it
cannot give the whole, which, it says. is• master-
piece of 'moderation and pulley. The Ambassador
observer—

" That' Russia, depending on the justice of
her demands, and certain that ill her Allies are
convinced of the posity of tier intentions, has,
while she took upon herself the defence of ge-
nersl iiitermts, not alleged the particular rights
which mvy be considered os the eroond of all its
proceedings totturils the Turkish Government. He
allege* the Treaty of kaniardgi, which gave liutwia
the protection of the Greek Christians in all the
owes of the Porte, sod the Treaty of Bucharest,
which the ivaminpiiiiiis of the Reis Effendi iu the
conference of the 25,11 April would
_render vain
and of nu effect, and deprive the inhabitants of
Aluldatis and Wallachia of all prospect of seeing
on roil of their misforiams.

" Nelson lirsiers with rasp-et to the Porte what she
always has desired. While she fr nakly points out to
the Government the changer to which isesposes itself,
site will at the moue' time stew it the way to its pre.
serration, sod if it obstinately petition in not follow.
log that way, Romig will warn it before hand what
attitude it well compel it to assume.
" If, as the Emperor willingly believes, the mea-
sures under which religion stud humanity io Turkey
grouts, have been taken contrary to the wishes, of
the Sublime Porte, his Majesty requites that his
nightie., shall prove that he is not without power
to alter a system, which, as it now is, will tto longer
permit the Clitistian Government to treat with
the Mks, or .in. live open „any othe► tense
with them) that, in a state of war.

•6 Thst ilir Greek (lovelies that have been de.
strayed or plundered be immediately restored to a

his 11%1111er. restore to the Christian worship its just
rights, fall...oiling it the same protection as befrre,
guaranteeing its inviolability for the future, and do-
ing every thing to console Europe for the death of
the Patriarch of Constantinople, and for thr wok.
notions which succeeded liis death ; that a wise unit
just 110E:teler be made between the air drits of the
trouble+ and those who have taken past in them,
and those who.e innovence should prn'ect them fsom
the severity of the Divan; that to this end a pro-
spect of tranquillity and peace be opened to the
Creeks who have remained faithful, or who shall
submit within a ceit sin time; and that whatever
the state if things may be, means shall be adopted
to divtirignish the innocent from the guilty.
"'ho the last moment the. Emperor will tepel
from his mind every representation contrary to the
preveihng; but if the Turkish Government, con-
trary to expeirtatima, should manifest that it is in
consequent c of a Won voluntarily adopted that
those teteasitsea are taken, resprcling which the
undersigned 1145 already dictated the opinion of his

august Master, nothing will then remain to the
Emperor than to declare anew to the Sublime Porte
that it places itself in a state of open hostility with
the whole Christian world; that it legalizes the re-
sistance of the Greeks, who would then combat
solely to save themselves ferias inevitable destruc-
tion; and that consideriog the nature of this con-
test, Russia will consider itself as aridly bound to
afford them an asylum, because they are persecuted;
protection, because she has a right to do ►o; and
assistance in union with all Christendom, because
she cannot leave. her fellow-believers a prey to blind
lanaticisni.
" In making these declarations to the Sublime
Porte, his Majesty, the Emperor, consider, that be
has fulfilled all his obligations towards it. He has
proved, that, as a faithful observer of treaties,
he silo ere's,. desires their maintenance, since he has
pointed out to it the n►eans that may save it, and
even 'hewn a wish to contribute to its preservation.
" lie proves it even this day, by pointing out the
only means by which the Sublime Porte can avert
its entire overthrow.
" The undersigned is commanded to give the
Sublime Porte the space of eight days to answer
to the present communication.
" In case the Turkish Government listens to all
the wishes able linoerial Majesty, and fulfil all his
hopes by acceding au these proposals, the under-
signed is commissioned to agree with the Sublime
Porte upon another period of time, during which
it shall have an opportunity of proving to Europe,
by the testimony of facts, that it not only accepts
these proposals, which must show on its part a re-
tuns to more moderate principles, and which are
here above stated ; but also that it exerts itself to
carry them into effect, and that it not only does
t desire the evil, but also that it is aide and
willing to prevent it. In every other case
the undersigiied has orders to unitoinice to the
Sublime Porte, that he is immediately to leave
Constantinople, with all the officers and nther pe►-
belongnug In the embassy of his Imperial Ma-
jesty.—The undersigned takes this opportunity,
&c. &e. " Baron STROGONOFF.
Bnjukdere, 81b (15th) July, 1841."
After the lapse of the time fixed his Excellency
wrote a second note, rectioit soloing the chief points
of the preceding. Ile complains that not only his
fiist Diagontaii leas not brought any written answer,
us the occasion imperiously demanded, but that
even the manner in which the Ottoman Minister
had exp•essed him..elf verbally respecting the three
important points. rendered it impossible for his .Ex-
celleney the Ambassador to continue steps which are
now become useless.
It's Excellency then embarked, and only waited
for a fair wind to sail with the whole embassy,—
