RETURN TO AN ADDRESS OF THE HONOURA-
BLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
DATED FEBRUARY 19, 1836 ; FOR, •
A COPY of the TREATY Of CONSTANTINOPLE, of the Bth of
July, 1833, (called the TREATY OE UNKIAR SKELESSI) ;
together with the SEPARATE ARTICLE of the same Date.
His Imperial Majesty, the most high and most mighty
Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, and his High-
ness the most high and most mighty Emperor of the Otto-
mans, being equally animated with the sincere desire of
maintaining the system of peace and good harmony hap-
pily established between the two empires, have resolved to
extend and strengthen the perfect friendship and confidence
which reign between them by the conclusion of a treaty of
defensive alliance.
Their Majesties have accordingly chosen and named as
their Plenipotentiaries ; that is to say, his Majesty the Em-
peror of all the Russias, the most' excellent and most
honourable Alexis Count Orloff, his Extraordinary Ambas-
sador at the Sublime Ottoman Porte, and the most excel-
lent and most honourable Apollitfftire Bouteneff, his Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Sublime
Ottoman Porte, &c. &c.
And his Highness the Sultan of the Ottomans, the most
illustrious and most excellent, the most ancient of his vizirs,
Hosrew Mehmet Pacha, Seraskier, Commander-in-chief of
the Regular Troops of the Line, and Governor-general of
Constantinople, &c. &c., and the most excellent and most
honourable Ferzi Akbmet Pacha, Mouchir and Com-
mander of the Guard of his Highness, &c. &c., and the
most excellent and most honourable Hadgi Mehmet Akiff
Effendi, actual Reis Effendi, &c. &c. ;
Who, after having exchanged their full powers, found in
good and due form, have agreed upon the following
Articles :
Art. 1. There shall be for ever peace, amity, and al-
liance between his Majesty the Emperor of all the Rus-
sias, and his Majesty the Emperor of the Ottomans, their
empires and their subjects, as well by land as by sea. This
alliance having solely for its object the common defence of
their dominions against all attack, their Majesties engage to
come to an unreserved understanding with each other upon
all the matters which concern their respective tranquillity
and safety, and to afford to each other mutually for this
purpose substantial aid, and the most efficacious assistance.
Art. 2. The treaty of peace concluded at Adrianople,
on the 2d of September, 1829, as well as of all the other
treaties comprised therein, as also the convention signed at
St. Petersburgh, on the 14th of April, 1830, and the ar-
rangement relating to Greece concluded at Constantinople,
on the 9th and 21st July, 1832, are fully confirmed by the
present treaty of defensive alliance, in the same manner as
if the said transactions had been inserted in it word for
word.
Art. 3. In consequence of the principle of conservation
and mutual defence, which is the basis of the present treaty
of alliance, and by reason of a most sincere desire of se-
curing the permanence, maintenance, and entire independ-
ence of the Sublime Porte, his Majesty the Emperor of all
the Russias, in the event of circumstances occurring which
should again determine the Sublime Porte to call for the
naval and military assistance of Russia, although, if it
please God, that case is by no means likely to happen, en-
gages to furnish, by land and by sea, as many troops and
fo'rces as the two high contracting parties may deem neces-
sary. It is accordingly agreed, that in this case the land
and sea forces, whose aid the Sublime Porte may call for,
shall be held at its disposal.
Art. 4. In conformity with what is above stated, in the
event of one of the two powers requesting the assistance of
the other, the expense only of provisioning the land and the
sea forces which may be furnished, shall fall to the charge
of the power who shall have applied for the aid.
Art. 5. Although the two high contracting parties sin-
cerely intend to maintain this engagement to the most dis-
tant period of time, yet, as it is possible that in process of
time circumstances may require that some changes should
be made in this treaty, it has been agreed to fix its duration
at eight years from the day of the exchange of the Impe-
rial ratifications. The two parties, previously to the expi-
ration of that term, will concert together, according to the
state of affairs at that time, as to the renewal of the said
treaty.
Art. 6. The present treaty of defensive alliance shall be
ratified by the two high contracting parties, and the ratifi-
cations thereof shall be exchanged at Constantinople within
the space of two months, or sooner if possible.
The present instrument consisting of six articles, and to
be finally completed by the exchange of the respective rati-
fications, having been agreed upon between us, we have
signed it, and scaled it with our seals, in virtue of our full
powers, and have delivered it to the Plonipotentaries of
the Sublime Ottoman Porte in exchange for a similar in-
strument.

Done at Constantinople, the 26th June, 1833 (the
20th of the moon Safer, in the 1249th year of the
Hegira.)

SEPARATE ARTICLE.

In virtue of one of the clauses of the first article Gf the
patent treaty of defensive alliance concluded between the
Imperial Court of Russia and the Sublime Porte, the two
high contracting parties are bound to afford to each other
mutually substantial aid, and the most efficacious assistance
for the safety of their respective dominions. Nevertheless,
as his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, wishing to
spare the Sublime Ottoman Porte the expense and inconve-
nience which might be occasioned' to it, by affording sub-
stantial aid, will not ask for that aid, if circumstances should
place the Sublime Porte under the obligation of furnishing
it, the Sublime Ottoman Porte, in the place of the aid which
it is bound to furnish in case of need, according to the prin--
ciple of reciprocity of the patent treaty, shall confine its
action in favour of the Imperial Court of Russia to closing
the strait of the Dardanelles, that is to say, to not allowing
any foreign vessels of war to enter therein under any pre-
text whatsoever.
The present separate and secret article shall have the
same force and value as if it was inserted word for word in
the treaty of alliance of this day.
Done at Constantinople, the 26th June, 1833 (the
. 20th of the moon of Safer, in the 1249th year of
the Hegira).

PAPERS.

VIENNA, Mallen s.—Letters from Ancona of Feb. 23,
say that the new steam-packet which plies between Patras
and Ancona was totally lost in a storm, As it was known
at Ancona that his Najesty the King of Bavaria intended
to return by way of Patras, this news excited general
alarm, because it was believed that the King was on
board. Private letters from Trieste had announceet that
the Madagascar steam-boat had perished. But we know,
from official accounts, that his Majesty will return on board
an English steam-boat, accompanied by an English man-of-
war, and that these reports, therefore, deserve no credit.

The arrival of Prince Milosch being fixed for May, the
Emperor has ordered that the Palace of Count Kegelerch,
where the Turkish Ambassador resided, to be hired and pre-
pared for the reception of the Prince.

damage done to the surrounding buildings and private
houses.

GERMAN BEDS.—A German bed is never over
Assizes,
fire feet in length, and proportionally narrow. The sheets,
ets, and coverlets are cut exacfl to the size of the bed's
surface, so that there is no tucking)? up. The bed clothes
seem made for cradles. Yet the Germans, generally speak-
ing, are taller than the usual race of men.
