verbatrikt as it has coins to •s, merely observing,
That we have'no more reason to believe the doco-

cryphal. The following is what we have received:—
" FRANKFORT OR THR MAINZ, HAT 28.

suerat of All the Russia., Ac. eke.
The Emperor owes it to his High Allies, In Europe, to
his people, to himself, to make known the prineiples whieh
bow actuated him. the proceedings which ►ave takes place
in 1111E'ffiffereist relations of his Cabinet with the Ottoman
Porte, since the epoch when several Greek provinces declared
stursorretvesindepeedent of the Government of foetal ant inople.

°Nellie Providence, has ■ot, either is the wars in which he
has been maisfolly compelled to engage, or in his alliances,
or in his conduct daring peace, Inaiiifesied any other then a

quillity in those countries. His Majesty Ism not been less
affected by the suffering, of the Greeks than be was by tbe
sufferings of the Writers nations.
" The Legation of his Majesty at Constantinople agreed,
in all its proceedings, with the Legations of other Cabinets,
and gave at first to the Porte all the explan•tions which could
serve to prove that the Court of Russia took no pert, either
direetly or indirectly, in the first disturbsece• that arose In
Greece. The pereonal character of his Majesty, however,
rendered these explanations quite superfluous, which, be.
sides, were pushed to • demoostratiou the most complete.—
The demands which kis Majesty then resew/el were strictly
conformable to what was required for the eAtecatiou of trea-
ties, by religion, humanity, and reason.
" His Majesty's Ambassador demanded of the Porte, In
his name, first, that the churches which had beets demolish.
ed should be repaired, that the Christian Religion should be
freely exercised, sod that none of the Christian subjects of
the Ottoman Porte should be henceforth disturbed in their
worship; second, the evacuation by the Turkish armies of
Moldavia and Wallachia.
" The constant system of the Porte was to lengthen the
negotiations, and to gain time, either to wear out the per-
severance of the European Courts, or to prepare more surely
'for hostilities.
"The delays were such, that this consideration, joined to
thst of different eircontatances, which it rens impossible fur
the Court of Russia to aeglect, deternshied his Maj. sty's
Ambassador to quit Cosoisatioople, when It appeared to be

"The Emperor owes it to the good offices of his High Al..
Rea, whose Legations continued their efforts for the eosin's-
name of price, the comenoseicatios of the answers of the
Ottonas Court to the &Ileitis, notes transmitted by the
fisron Stroganoff. Them answers, ronsmunieated at six
weeks' distance from each other, bore, is different terms,
the sante ebaracter of obstinacy, and the rejection of
'the just claims of the Emperor sad his Allies. The Otto-
man Court would give uo positive guarantee as to the rees-
tablishment of churches, the principal object of the dessieds
addressed to it, and the refusal of which, though the other
points should be conceded, would be sufficient to reader
every arrangement inipossibie. The 'vicinities of the pries-

future period, subject to ch bids miry inilefieitely

Jag the jostlensands of the Emperor and his Allies, raised
• pretension which the Law of Nateoa■ sod the heart of his
. Majesty equally repelled. The delivering up of refugees,
contrary to all the sentiments of humanity and honour, toe-
less to the Interests of the Porte, and indifferent to the in-
terests of Greece, was steruly and formally refused as it ought
to be.
Such are the mewls! poist a of the negetiatioes between
the Court of Russia and the Ottoman. Porte. Europe will

even when the highest mediations were interposing between
the victims and the oppr►ssors.
