CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 214
Very urgent remonstrances have been made to
the Ottoman Porte by all the great European
Powers respecting its severe and cruel conduct
towards the Greeks, and the attitude it seems dis-
posed to assume lowattls Russia, which is the inns
mate ally of Austria, Prussia, England and
France. Upon all these remonstrances the Reis
Effendi expressed himself to all the Ambassadors
with the greatest composure and apparent buyers
tiality, but to the English Ambassador with •
certain f►ankness and friendship.
The Porte denies that the punishment inflicted
on several of the Greek clergy proceeds from a
spirit of persecution towards the Christian religion,
or the Greek nation; relatively to the first point it
appeals to the protection which the Catholics and Ar-
menians enjoy; to the fact that the free and public
exercise oftheGreek worship at COnliallainopk has rot
been for a ntoment•interrupted ;from this it should
seem as if the reports of thedestruction of the Greek
churches were false]. and the sacrilege committed on
some village churches had been severely punished.
It affirms that what was done to the Patriarch would
h.ive been done to the Mufti if he had been guilty
of similar crimes ; that his perfidy was iascontestably
proved by eleven letters written by him to the Mo-
rea, which are in the bands of the Porte [they
were not ihewn]; that his being executed at Elutes
was nut the effect of design, brt because the proofs
of his treason had not been obtained till the prece-
ding evening; that the Porte, forks own security, was
compelled to use inexorable severity,- but that it
had not caused • single individual to be executed,
ef whose guilt it had not the most incontrovertible
proofs. Finally, that the Sultan acted as an inde-
pendent Monarch, who had to account for his ac-
tions to (3,w1 alone.
To Lord Strangford the Reis Effendi gave the
assurance Mai ilie Porte endeavoured to avoid every
thing that world lead to a mar With I€USCia. because
it was very sensible that as it was unable to repress
' the Rebels, it was not in a condition to act alone
opined. that Power, and well 'knew that in the pre:
sent state of harmony between all the European
Cabinets, no State would draw a sword in its de-
fence.

That all the misunderstandings were come-
q nences of the conduct of Baron Strogonotr, and that
a: would apply to the magnanimous Emperor
Alexander himself.—(Baron Strogonoff is well
known to be a man of distinguished education,
polishrd manners, and noble character.]
Letter from Constantinople of the 98th of June:
" The English and French Ambassadors at
Constantinople have desired the Commanders of
the squadrons of their respective nations in the
Archipelago to act hostilely towards the Greeks if
they should attempt to force the entrance of the
harbour of Smyrna, and the same against the Turks
if they should attempt to hinder the Franks from
remo►ing with their families and property."
