(Translation.)
Memorandum transmitted by Rifaat Pasha to his Excel-
lency Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, on the 10th of
April, 1853.
Your Excellency knows that, with a view to repress the
revolt of the inhabitants of Montenegro, which forms a
portion of the Ottoman Empire, a revolt which lately
broke out, a blockade was established on the coasts of
Antivari. Inasmuch as, under the auspicies of his Ma-
jesty the Sultan, tranquillity has been re-established in
Montenegro, his Highness has ordered the raising of the
blockade, which fact has been made known to the authori-
ties of the Sublime Porto in that quarter.
I hasten to inform your Excellency also, of the rais-
ing of the blockade, for the information of those whom it
concerns.
