rebellion was seated in a corner of the court, under the regis-

tited by one of the commissimaers from the above neighbour-
ed to bring him to Dublin. He had been sued, along with
Liany others, by the Rey. Mr. Jones, formerly of Ardcanny,
"(hs. of Limerick, for arrears of tithes amounting to about 141.,

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

FRANKFORT, MAY 29.

LE ITER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE TO MR. C. DURAND,
EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL DE FRANKFORT.
" PERA, MAY 8, 1836.

" Sir,—The journals have entertained us for some years
past, and continue to entertain us, with the projects of
Russia against the Ottoman empire. They even assure us
that the Emperor Nicholas bad thought of profiting by the
victories gained over the Turks in 1828, to take and to
keep Constantinople ; but that the menaces of some Am-
bassadors, addressed to Count D:ebitsch, have sufficed to
stop the Russian army at Adrianople, and to oblige that
General to make peace.
" Accustomed as I have long been to place full confi-
dence -in the assertions of the journals, especially when the
ambition of the Russians was the subject, I should perhaps
have hesitated this time to believe them implicitly, if 1 had
not round the,same assertions in various works, the authors
of which being highly respectable men, could not be sus-
pected of having wished to mislead the public.
" Thus we find, in the CmTespoudanec d'Orient of M.
Michaud, letter 38, dated Pera, 25th of August, 1830, the
following passage :
" In the last war against the Russians, the Seraglio was
still assembling armies, and was preparing to display the
standard of the Prophet ; but in proportion as the Rus-
sians advanced towards the capital, the influence of Pera
seemed to increase, and it was in consequence of the me-
naces of Pera that the Muscovites halted. The bill on
which the wild.fig-tree formerly ''.rew, concluded peace, and
left to the Seraglio nothing to do but to issue proclamations,
and repress the Turks, who were indignant at.the treaty.'
" This certainly was one of the noblest parts that ever
Ambassadors had to perform, and a fact so honourable
ought to have been confirmed in such a manner as to give
it historical value.

" I have therefore expected with much impatience that
the Porllblio, which appears to have at its disposal a series
of documents relative to the occurrences of the war in Tur-
key, would furnish us with one which would show in all its
lustre this splendid episode of the diplomacy of • Vera. • But
all my hopes have hitherto.beew disappointad,iand the dis-
closures of the Portfolio, which have •let' us into many se-
crets, have told us nothing on - a subject so interesting.
t' The vexation which .1 feel at this'silenee has suggested
to pie the idea of endeavouring to Make up for it ; I there-
fore set to-work, and have Succeeded in procuring some
definite notions, which I hasten .to communicate to you.
It is for you to judge whether they are likely to gratify the
curiosity of your readers:
" When, in June, 1829, after the defeat of the Turkish
army at Kouleftcha, the Russian General wrote to the
Grand Visier, that, conformably with the orders of his So-
vereign, he was ready to treat for peace on the bases which
Russia had proposed in its declaration on the 20th of April,
1828. The Turkish General took these proposals ad refc-
rendanz, and wrote to Constantinople, but the Divan did
not think fit to listen to the overtures of the Russian Ge-
neral, and left them unanswered.
" Two months later the Russian army passed the Bal-
kan, and occupied Bourgas and Aidos ; they began to think
at Constantinople that it was time to show some concilia-
tory disposition, as the Porte then delivered to the Ambas-
sadors of England and France a memorandum, containing
a summary of the terms on which it would consent to make
peace. This memorandum was forwarded to the Russian
General, with a letter, which the two Ambassadors ad-
dressed to him on the 17th of August, and which contain
the following passage :
«< We do not pretend to constitute ourselves judges of
the contents of the memorandum of the Porte, but, con-
vinced as we are of the generosity of the Emperor, we refer
to the entire confidence which the Porte now seems to
place on that generosity, and we think that we have reason
to hope that the remaining obstacles to the return of peace
will be easily removed by the respective efforts of your Ex-
cellency and of Redschid Pasha, and that humanity will
soon see an end to the effusion of blood.'

" The conditions proposed by the Porte bore no trace of
the change which had taken place in the situation of the
two belligerent parties in consequence of the late event ;
they were merely to negotiate on a footing of perfect
equality, and to confirm the ancient treaties.
" Unfortunately these proposals, and the letter of the
two Ambassadors which accompanied them, found the
Russian General already at Adrianople, which he had occu-
pied on the 20th of August. He answered on the 23d of
the same month, and his letter, after referring to the over-
tures which he had before made in vain, and enumerating
the successive advances of the Russian armies in Europe
and Asia; proceeded in the following terms:—
" It is after such great disasters that the Porte con-
sents to speak of peace ; but I do not imagine that it can
believe itself to have either the right or the power to dic-
tate the terms. It depends on the magnanimous generosity
of the Emperor Nicholas, and it will not be deceived in its
expectation, provided it confidently relies on it. His Im-
perial Majesty, whose sentiments and inclinations are still
the same, desires a solid peace, which shall bring with it a
security for its duration. He will hold out the band of
friendship to Sultan Mahmoud, re-establishing between the
two empires a restoration of good neighbourhood and perfect
harmony.
Deeply impressed with these intentions of my august
master, and conformably to the instructions with which I am
furnished, I shall be ready on my part to enter into nego-
tiations with the Turkish Plenipotentiaries as soon as they
shall appear at my advanced posts duly authorized.'
" Before this answer reached Constantinople, news had
already been received of the further successes of the Rus-
sian army, of the occupation of Adrianople, and the march
of some corps on the road to Constantinople ; and the
Divan, in its alarm, had hastily despatched plenipotentiaries
to implore peace.
" On their arrival at the head-quarters of Gieral Die-
bitsch, at Adrianople, the Ottoman negociators were made
acquainted with the proposed treaty. They agreed to all
the conditions, but requested a few days' delay, in order to
have the express orders of the Sultan with respect to the
articles of the pecuniary indemnities claimed by Russia.
" Count Diebitsch granted the delay, declar►ng, however,
that he should cot suspend the march of his army, and he in
fact caused his vanguard to execute some movements.
These measures, added to the news of the occupation of
Enos and of Louie Bourgas, spread consternation at Con-
stantinople. which was threatened at the same time with an
internal insurrection and foreign invasion.

" (2.) At this alarming crisis the Ambassadors of France
and England resolved to write to the Russian General the
following lettar, which I give word for word:--
" Constantinople, Sept. 9, 1829.

1" Monsieur le Comte,—ln the present circumstances
there it en imperative duty which we cannot dispense our-
selves from fulfilling ; it is to inform your Excellency of the
infallible consequences which would ensue frOm the march
of the Imperial armies against Constantinople.
" ne Sublime Porte has formally declared to us, and
we do nut hesitate /o cmifirm the truth qf its declaration,
that in this case it would cease to exist, and that the most
terrible alarehy, destroying ila power, will give up indis-
criminately, and without dclence, to the must unjiivourable
chances the existence cf the Christian and Massubnan po-
pulation of the empire.
By concealing from you this ttale of things we should
have taken upea ourselves a responsibility to our Courts,
ta his Imperial Majesty biipself, in a word to all Europe,
which WO roust decline with all the energy of which we are
capable. Wu now fulfil this duty, writing to you the
present letter. Wu have henceforth only to adopt all those
MAUS which may depend en us to endeavour to preserve,
the Clitigtians of this capital from the imminent danger
which now hails over them.
" Nobody certainly will deny
1" We have the honour, ete,l
that this step of the two
Ambassadors and the preceding letter were dictated by very
honourable sent;tt:ents, and by a very amiable soligitude for
the interests of humanity i but it must be owned that this
was not threatening language, eii.alted to stop the Rus-
sian army, tie to compel Count Diehitsch i,z CM)CIUde peace.
On the contrary, titiay we not believe that if the io4trile-
,tions of the Emperor Nielic.ln.s had been to seize Constan-
tinople, aid overthrow the Ottottigi; power, the Russian
General, after tbe-receipt of such a letter, would not have
filed to take advantszo pf the circumstances which it
pointed out to him, to strike anti hit blow at the Ottoman
empire?
" These, Sir, taio filets hitherto unknown, and whiah I gyp
