.and of this sentiment he has already' given
,you.a
.pronf in the letter which he addressed to you:
In-the sittiation,‘ however, in which-we find
ourselves placed, being hitherto totally unacquainied
with the, motives of t _incursion of 'the itussi2n
troops, we can at this I-num:Nit; whatek erbe the na7,
tune of this proceeding, do no more than lament the
interruption of the goigl undershivling- which existed
between the-Sublime Pure and her Allies- We a
too well acquainted with the scat meats of both our
Courts not to be •assured, thiit neither England nor
Russia can be cattated by any hostile inteptiOn to-
wards Turliey. The entrance of the Rus.siapsimust,.
therefore, as a necessary cUnt.uluence, be';,regarded
measure as ,a meane directed towards the security of
the.Snblime Porte and the ,unlortunate ;event, 'of
which you apprised ute in the letter alluded to, can
only be attributed to ode of those instances of
misunderstanding which :no buman, prudence can,
pyelent. , , ,

_
" Complete explanations may be. daily ex pe6led.;
And as the-Sublime Porte has done me the honour to
consult me,- I should no !means ad in-confcr-
mity to the sentiments whh which - tny' Court is
animated with respe<t to her, should I not Jake
the earhest opportunity of dec:±rin2,-, that-ei,ery con-
sideration of prudence enjoins tine obServance of
the sanie'u-pright and discreet condu'd-which .has—of
]ate reflc&ed so much •honciur on the Ottoman
Ministry. • -

" I have, however, no difficulty in admit-
ting, that if .the Statethf 'things should turn • out
to be such as•has been represented, iris very natural
that the Sublime Porte should be extremely dissaiis-
But•t-ihe must be too well acquainted with the
justice of the Russian EMPEROR', not to be Crunvinez
edthat his Imperial Alt.•jestv will. •be the -first to ex- •
press his disapprobation of any zua of -hostility (-dm-.
mit ted against Ttirkq by ilk:on-kers, • .The.Porto, is
too enligl!lened• not to pei'ceive, that the 'slightest in-
dication of dipleaure with Russia, can,-under
isting circumstances, have no other • tifeEt than that
ofplunging this Empire into the midst of those dais-
gers in whiCh France has, torso long a period, and
troth so 'many sinister motives,. endeavoured to in-
volve .•
her.

"I have. felt myself highly. flattered by the ho-'
nonr which_the.Porte-has conterrechapon me, in ap-
plying for my Mediation.: I:consider this 'step as a
convincing proof of the insace which it does me;
and thisunstsopply. nee with an additional' motive
to:endeavour to accomplish whatever tray' accord
‘vith its wishes.

"-Upon thisoccasion,•however, such,an offer-as-
that which the Sublime. Porte h3s proposed to me'
would-not only. be unnecessary, but also-misplaced';:
for -never have I heard from the. lips of the
AnThassadar' any othe Sentiments' than thbse which
I myself ententain ;-..bncl I have neizertetnarked in
him any other kaire, than that o preventing'every
thing which could., ten to excite a misunderstanding
between the taro. Cdhris:

I must thus wait. for some other occasion of
demonstrating to th 3
.t.'.bliNe'Porte.the friendship
which I feel towards her, in my charaaer- Repre-
sentative of ht r most faithful Ally.- I May venture_
'to assert, that no event -can' take plaCe-Of such de-
scripticm as not to aiTord the' means of triaking more
and more manifest, .that the King has 'ho other
views than tht of being useful to his Highness the
Sultan ; and that the; engaTemcnts mottially entered
into wit the Etilperor of Ri is have nb other
than to contril)ute to the security, the welfare, and'
glory of this Empire:
