persisting in her demand upon this point—a point
altogether incompatible with the internal regulations
of the Sublime Porte (and this is also as clear as
day), pursues a course contrary to the rights of na-
tions and of governments.
It is impossible, then, in the last resort to modify
this disk after the following manner : to wit. that
until the rebellion abases, the Sublime Porte re-
tain possession of the two provinces by officers
whom she has there established, with such a number
of troops only as may suffice for their protection
against depredators, and without the slightest mo-
lestation of the Rajahs; that she will relinquish to
the Greeks those affinrs which concern the princi-
palities, and which are now directed by the Caimu-
cans, who are also Greeks : and that at present the
evacuation of the provinces and the nomination of
princes be deferred.
As to the subject of churches, which isone of tho
points under discussion, there will be no objection as
soon the revolt shall be subdued, to their reparation
and re-construction, as far as the law will permit,
in whatever way they may have been injured.
In what regards the free exercise of the Christian
religion, the Sublime Porte, as in time past, has
never said aught against its exercise.

The punishments are confined to individuals
who, in open rebellion, refused the amnesty; and
it is known that protection is extended to those who
have not raised the standard of revolt. As soon as
rebellion shall cease, punishment will cease. The
greatest care is shown, as *racily, to distinguish
the innocent from the guilty, even to the extent
that (although it is well known the conspiracy is
general) these Greeks are protected us formerly who
have not raised the standard of revolt. All this
being generally known, and your Excellency agree-
ing us to the truth of the facts, it is superfluous here
to repeat them.
It would inspire pleasure to think that, as all the
friends of the Sublime Porte, listening with a spirit
of moderation to her just complaints on the points
above mentioned, which she has proved to be Jimmi-
ed in justice, and conformable to national rights,
equity, and truth, avow such without hesitation ;
so the Court of Russia, on her part, will observe
what is due to right and justice.
In this hope, the Sublime Porte prays the Coart
of England, whose good-will towards both parties
cannot be doubted, that in exerting all the means
which sincere friendship and justice require, she
would employ her good offices to smooth the way to
a final arrangement of the differences existing be-
tween the Sublime Porte and the Court of Resja.
With this object the present Note has been drawn
up and transmitted to your Excellency the Ambas-
sador of England.

Accounts from Constantinople say, except single
murders and excesses, which can never be wholly
prevented, there are no complaints of the interrup-
tion of public tranquillity. But the fermentation
is not suppressed, and has in fact, rather incrca.sed
than diminished. Apprehensions are particularly
entertained respecting the disposition of the Janis-
saries. A great part of the Ortus that were in the
capital were ordered to co-operate in subduing the
rcoellious Mariots and Epirots. Fur this purpose,
they were to pass through Macedonia to their de,-
tination, and their place to he upplied at Constvn
tinople by Asiatic troops, which were still in the
neighbourhood of Constantinople, as -
reserve. This orator, which excited
sensation, and the greatest ill-will
nissarics, was plotested against by
that corps, and by several distingui
the state, for they considered it as the
svards the execution of a plan which
favourite, l-lalch Etnniii, is said to h
in contemplation, and which consists
lotion of the Janis.saries. Considerit
opposition made to the removal of a
the capital, it is probable it will not take plapinot
all. The news of the reverses sustained at that-
ent points by the Tarkis4 troops has likewise ex-
cited much discontent, which it sought to allay by
by spreading reports of th..l arrangement of al (lit:
ferences which the Persians, and the retreat of their
