RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Further papers were presented to Parliament on
Tuesday night, containing extracts from correspond-
ence that has passed duriTg the present year.
Some portions are of great interest, and we make
the following extracts :

" No. 31.

" THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND TO THE EARL OF

CLARENDON.—(Received Feikruary 4.)
(Telegraphic.) " Vieima, Feb. 4. 1354.
"Count Buol has announced to the French Ambassador
and to me that Count Orloff's proposition to the Emperor
of Austria was, that his Majesty should engage himself to
a strict neutrality in the event of the war between Turkey
and 'Russia, in which it appeared that England and France
were about to take a part. The Emperor of Austria re-
plied to Count Orloff, asking if the Emperor of Russia
would confirm his Majesty's engagements not to pass the
Danube ; to evacuate the Principal:ties after the war ;
and not to disturb the general arrangement at present
existing of the Turkish provinces ? Count Orloff replied,
that the Emperor of Russia could take no engagement.
" The Emperor of Austria answered, that in that case he
could take no engagement, as was proposed to him. He
should remain faithful to` the principles he had adopted in
concert with the other Three Powers, and should be
guided in his conduct by the interests and the dignity of
his empire.

" Your Lordship will not be surprised, after learning
this termination of Count Orloff's mission, and after having
received the Protocol of the Conference signed yesterday,
to hear that the Austrian GoVernment have decided imme-
diately to increase the cordon they have upon the frontier
of Transylvania to 30,000 men.
" Count Buol expected that Count Orloff would have
left Vienna to-morrow ; but he learns with surprise that
he had written that he intends to prolong his stay for
some days."

The proposals submitted by Russia to the Aus-
trian Government at the end of January, in reply to
those which were forwarded to Russia through
Austria from the Conference of Vienna, were re-
jected by the Conference as suck should not—he.
forwarded to Turkey. The Russian proposals were
fora treaty on the following bases :

"1. The full and entire confirmation of former treaties
concluded between Russia and the Porte, dating from that
of Kainardji, and of the special conventions of Adrianople
relative to the Danubian Principalities and to Servia.
"2. Explanations, to be recorded by the respective Ple-
nipotentiaries charged with the negotiation of peace in a
separate act in the form of a protocol or of an additional
article, the draught of which is hereunto annexed, con-
cerning the signification and practical application of the
former and latter 'firmans of the Sultan relative to reli-
gious liberty, and to the immunities according to the
churches of the orthodox Eastern rite.

"3. The evacuation, with the least possible delay, of the
Danubian provinces, and of the other territories and towns
forming part of the Sultan's dominions which may, in
consequence of the events of the war, be occupied by the
Russian armies, so soon as the arrangements shall be con-
cluded.

"4. The re-establishment of the order of things and of
the Governments of the Principalities, such as they were
settled by the stipulations of Adrianople.
" 5. The regulation of the right asylum, and of the con-

ditions on which it should for the future bo accorded in
the respective countries to agitators and revolutionists,
who, under the guise of political refugees, might foment
dissensions and create misunderstandings between friendly
and neighbouring Governments.
" As concerns the treaty of July 13, 1841, Russia con-
siders it as never having ceased to be in force, since it was
concluded both for the time of peace as well as for that of
war; consequently, there would be no occasion for its re-
newal or completion by a guarantee."

The protocol annexed contained the following
clauses :

`The Ottoman Plenipotentiary, in the first place, as-
serted in the Sultan's name the constant solicitude with
which that Sovereign is animated for the security, in his
States, of the clergy, the churches, and the religious esta-
blishments of the orthodox Eastern faith, expressing sincere
regret that there cotld have existed for a moment any
doubts on this subject in the mind of his Imperial Majesty.
He declared that his Majesty the Sultan had not for a mo-
ment thought of contravening the general principles laid
down in the treaty of Kainardji, as well as in the treaties
which confirm it, and that it was his firm intention to
continue invariably faithful to it. In corroboration of
that intention, and in proof of the Sultan's resolution to
secure to the orthodox Eastern rite in his dominions the
rights, immunities, privileges, and spiritual advantages
which have been accorded to the said rite and to its churches
by his Majesty's august predecessors, and even to extend
in their favour the effects of his Imperial benevolence, the
Ottoman Plenipotentiary was charged to communicate of-
ficially to the Court of Russia the Supreme Irade which
the Sultan of his own accord granted on the
of to the Greek patriarch and clergy. The
formal delivery of that document into the hands of the
Imperial Cabinet, and, furthers the proclamation which
had been publicly made of it, would demonstrate to the
world that the Sultan considers it a point of . honour to
enforce for ever, and to preserve from all infringement,
both now and for the future, the privileges confirmed or
latterly accorded by his Majesty. His Majesty further
promised, in a spirit of perfect equity, to allow the Greek
Church to participate in the advantages which he might
hereafter accord to the other Christian churches.
"In return for these assurances, the Plenipotentiary of
Russia declared that if divers acts of the Porte, and espe-
cially with regard to the Holy Places, having appeared to
the Emperor to indicate intentions little favourable to the
faith which he professes, had induced his Majesty to re-
quire at the same time with the settlement of the more
special question of the Holy Places, a general guarantee
for the rights, [privileges, and religious immunities ac-
corded to the orthodox church, on the other hand, it never

intered his Majesty's mind to ascribe to that guarantee a
character different from that which naturally results from
the principal laid down in the treaty of Kainardji, and
confirmed in subsequent acts—consequently anything con-
trary to the Sultan's rights and independence ; and that in
requiring that the Greek Church and clergy should con-
tinue to enjoy those rights and privileges under the pro•
tection of their Sovereign the Sultan, the Emperor had
sufficiently explained the nature of that guarantee."

" No. 95.
" SIR G. H. SEVAIOUR TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.—
(Received February 24).
( E %tract) " St. Petersburg, Feb. 15.
" In the Russian Projet de Protocole the Russian Pleni-
potentiary declares:—` Que si divers actes de la Porte, et
notamment a regard dos lieux saints, ayant paru
l'Empereur indiquer des dispositions pen favorables an
culte qu'il professe, avaient engage Sa Majeste a, demander
en memo temps que l'arrangement special des dits lieux,
une garantie generale des droits privileges, et immunitos
religieuses accordees a I'Eglise Orthodoxe.' These few
words contain a tardy tribute to veracity.
" In the early days of Prince Menscbikoff's mission it
was stated to me repeatedly and most positively that he
had no other object in view than to re-establish and secure
the rights of the Greek Church at Jerusalem.

" When the real motives which had carried Prince
Menschikoff to Constantinople became known, I was next
informed that I had no right to consider that I had been
misled, inasmuch as what was claimed for the Greek church
was the necessary confirmation of the Greek rights at the
Holy Places; and only now it comes to light that the special
arrangement regarding the Holy Places is considered by
the Russian Cabinet as a question quite distinct front that
of the guarantee to be demanded of the rights, privileges,
and immunities of the Greek church.

" I feel grateful to the. Imperial Cabinet for having made
this admission before my withdrawal from St. Petersburg."

" No. 58.
" THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND TO THE EARL OF
CLARENDON.—(Received February 13.)
" Vienns, February 8, 1853.
"My Lord,—l have just left the Conference to which
Count Buol had this morning invited me, in conjunction
with my colleagues. Upon our assembling, he stated that
he had no proposal to make to us; but, in consideration of
the perfect union existing among us upon the Eastern ques-
tion, he thought he was forwardinc, our common objects by
communicating the despatches he had addressed to Count
Esterhazy for the purpose of being submitted to Count
Nesselrode.

" Count Buol then read to us these despatches. The
first gave an account of the proposal brought forward by
Count Orloff, that the Emperor of Austria should, in con-
junction with Prussia, take an engagement with the
Emperor of Russia for the maintenance of a strict neu-
trality in the war now existing with the Porte, and in
which the maritime Powers seemed likely to take part.
Count Buol, in his despatch, developes in the clearest and
most distinct language the impossibility of the adoption by
the Emperor of any such engagement. Ho states, with all
courtesy to the Emperor Nicholas, the obligations by which
the A ustrianGovernment is bound to watch over the strict
maintenance of the principle of the independence and in-
tegrity of Turkey—a principle proclaimed by the Emperor
Nicholas himself but which the passage of the Danube by
his troops might, by the encouragement of insurrection in
the Turkish provinces, endanger. Count Buol therefore
states that he cannot take the engagement proposed to him.
The second despatch to Count Esterhazy relates to the an-
swer which has been returned to the proposals for negoti-
ations transmitted by Count Buol with the sanction of the
Conference on the 13th ultimo.

" In this despatch Count Buol states with considerable
force the disappointment felt by the Emperor at the want
of success which had attended his recommendation in fa- '
your of the Turkish propositions. He enters very fully
into the subject, and renews the expression of the Empe-
ror's most anxious desire that the Emperor Nicholas may
still adopt the proposals which had been submitted to him.
`The last despatch is one in which Count Buol replies
to the reproach which was addressed to the Imperial Go-
vernment, that by its present conduct it was abandoning
the principles upon which the three Governments of Rus-
sia, Austria, and Prussia had hitherto acted for the main-
tenance of the established interests and independence of
the different States of Europe, and that, by so doing, it
was endangering the established order of things in Europe,
and the security at present existing.
" The answer of Count Buol to this reproach is very
firmly and clearly stated.
" It is impossible for me to give your lordship a more
detailed account, before the departure of the messenger, of
these despatches ; but I must add that they met with the
entire approbation of the members of the Conference, that
they were looked upon as most ably drawn up, and that,
while using every courteous and friendly expression towards
the Emperor Nicholas, they most clearly pointed out the
present position which the Austrian Government would
maintain with the view of upholding the principles they
had proclaimed and the engagements which they had taken
for their support.
"After these communications, Count Buol stated that
the Emperor, in speaking of the departure of Count Orloff,
had inquired whether any suggestion could be made to
him, in a confidential manner, by which the negotiations
for peace might still be continued. Count Buol had con-
sequently given this subject his best consideration. He
had gone to Count Orloff before his departure, which had
taken place this morning, and, as a private suggestion of

his own, and only verbally, had stated that if the Emperor
Nicholas would accept the Turkish proposals, and, upoh
their general import, send to Vienna the form of prelimi-
naries for peace which he would agree to, and which might
be discussed by the Conference with Baron Meyendorff,
who should be instructed to that effect, these preliminaries,
if approved by the Conference, might be sent to Constan-
tinople with the recommendation of the Four Powers."

" No. 84.
" LORD COWLEY TO THE EARL CIE CLARENDON.
(Received February 23.)
(Telegraphic.) " Paris, Feb. 22, 1854.
" Count Buol assures M. de Bourquency, that if Eng-
land and France will fix a delay for the evacuation of the
Principalities the expiration of which shall be the signal
for hostilities, the Cabinet of Vienna will support the
summons. M. Dronyn de Lhuys is of opinion that this
should be done immediately, and that the two Govern-
ments should write to Count Nesselrode to demand the
immediate commencement of that evacuation—the whole
to be concluded by a given time, say the end of March.
Silence or refusal to be considered a declaration of war on
the part of Russia. Whenever a decision is taken, M.
Drouyn de Lhuys begs that you will inform me by tele-
graph."
