I From the Journal des Debats.l
hEss A, A Y 10.—The following is a literal
translation of the laconk note which the G'hand
Vizier, 6 halib Pacha, addressed to Lord Strang-
ford, to complain of the political conduct of Eng-
land. It would be of no use to add, that at this
period the influence of Lord Strangford at. the
Porte must have been very weak. Since then,
however, circumstances have changed a little in
:favour of his Lordship.
Literal Translation of a Memorandum delivered on April 9,
1824, by the Grand Vizir, Ghalib Paella, to the First English
Dragoman, S. Berto Pisani, for his Excellency Lord
Strangford •
" The Ambassador, our 'friend, never ceases saying to the
Sublime Porte, that the laws of his country do not allow the
Court of London to prevent the English from aiding the
Greek rebels in • making war against the Mussulmans, and
that it bas..no power to punish these acts of glaring injustice.
If any person endowed with less -sagacity than our friend, the
Ambassador, heaLadvanced such an assertion, we should have
snppesed it had been done with the intention of knowing how
far our credulity could extend. It is too absurd to say that
any Government whatever, however administered, and what-
ever may be its laws, has not the power of preventing its
own subjects from making war according to their own plea-
eure, and violating treaties which exist between their Govern-
ment and another Power. The administration and internal
laws of England have a reference only to the English. The
regulations of a State cannot be quoted 'as a justification of
-the Improper conduct of the subjects of any State whatever
ugninSt any other Power : these things must be regulated by in.-
ternationai law, which forms the basis of all relations between
.governments and nations, and not the laws or customs of any indi-
oidual state. Let us suppose (which God forbid) that a partof the
sUbjeCts of (Preat Britain were in open. rebellion against the
King, and that the .subjects of another Sovereign at peace, and
on', friendly terms with Greet Britain, for example, thoseof the
c,nblime. Porte, were to send them publicly succours of every
ileseription, ammunition, money, provisions, and effective
officers, would England admit .:as an excuse for such conduct,
that the Porte had not arighte:or had not the power to controul
slie improper conduct, of its subjects, because the laws of the
country gave to every Mussulman the right of making war on
roll those who did not profess the same faith. If these prin-
iples Ware admitted, what would Ise,the situation of one coun-
try with regard to another ? Nhat. general peace -which Eng-
land pretends to have so much at heart, would no longer de-
pend on treaties or on the laws of-nations. It would be at the
anerßy IGnd, caprice of the passions-of the people. It would be
• supposed that every thing was clone in preserving the appear-
ance of friendship, and.each Government would think it had
done its duty in saying.to its neighbour, ." I am your very sin-
cere and disinterested friend.; be contented. with this assurance,
and do not be displeased if my subjects go to cut the throats of
vcurs." But does our friend the Ambassador. believe us de-
prived of common sense, when he pretends that his Govern-
ment has not the power to exercise a just controul over the
•conduct of its subjects ? The English Government has this
power, and hastened to use it when it was thought necessary to
prev:!nt English vessels front ears ying a little corn •lo the
Yurkish garrisons dying with hunger, and who at least
rah-tined ur. the hunzanity of an ,aldfriend. The existence
Of this power was clearly demonstrated then, and -the mi-
serable deatheof many Mussulmans proves it too well. If
we. are at peace .with,Esigland, weehave certainly the right
to demand that the Court of .Londorseshmild rot permit its
Subjects to make war against us. If the Government disap-
proves of the hostile conduct of its subjects, why .do it not
say to them once for, all, "..The Porte• has beeni es
our friend fee
ages; we have no complaints to make of it; and justice, there-
fore, requires it should have no cause to complain of us ; it
fulfils its treaties, and therefore we must fulfil ours." Why
does not the English Government use this languAge? Why has
it never :aid one word-to stile English people which resembles
friendship to ue ? Our friend, the Ambassador, is angry that
we do not do every thing which he aslZes...Con he reasonably be
astonished at. this? lenilseays uses svorsls full of friendship
She us, but does he .believe that we are ignorant of all theonis-
eiief that his countrymeu.seek to do us ? Ilow are we to re-
coecile his words with their nctions? We cannot, in factocom-
neehend these contradictions. -Toe Salslime Porte asks what it
osajostitied in asking, and what England is not justified in re-
fusing, namely, that the English should be forbidden hence-
forward to carry on hosWities against the Mussulmans, either in
person or by sending money or ammunition (as they now do
openly and publicly), or by establishing under the eyes of the
(i.;vernment the-centre.,if their machinations against the
interests of the Sublime Porte. It is clear that the English
,Govetnment .can prevent all this yit mill, and it is tine that it

,Nin following Address to the King, signed by all
its Members, except the Pwsident

" Sin—The Council; which hitherto has only related to you
particular events that happened at ()vie(le), but was .not ignorant
of those which occurred at other places, col4l not avoid direct-
ing its twention to the mistrust which prevails in the minds
of all those Spaniards devoted to defend your 1112jesty and his
decrees, end would be neglecting its most sacred duty, if,
neglecting this occasion, owing to the considerations of a des-
picable policy, it should so far forget itself as to conceal from
your Majesty facts which have been proved, and fears which
are too well founded ; that a torrent of evils will overwhelm
Spain, if, your Majesty does not take prompt and efficacious
p'4;:a.tillteS to restore confolence. We are rot, Sire, os in 12311,
when those who gloried in the title of your Majesty's subjects
were in a slight degree implicated with sects, of whose extension
and aim they were ignorant. We now know from reason and
experience what are the ideas and plans of that race which this
ago has ll:might forth, which never goes back from its object,
:and never desists ; the members of which labour in silince,
and have the art to colour their project in a thousand ways, and
woo put on the appearance of lambs, but are most devourito,
waives ; the people now know them, for they have heard
their doctrines, and have had to suffer for three years the
evils of the government of these cannibals. Can it be pos.-
Sir, when so large a number of those persons now
figure as before; when they obtain th^ most important em-
ployments, anti share with the purest and most devoted sub-
jects of your Ma,ety, in the management of the most delicate
and important nlfoirs, can it be possible, we ask, that the-na-
rinn feel confidence, and not fear to be overturned a third
time? \VG-Ad this triumph be more splendid than that they
Pow-enjoy, having impunity for their crimes,. and pe,:sessing
employments and comidenee under your Majesty ? Sonic
amongst them, it is true, less fortunate than others, are in
prison, subjected to the consequences of a sentence called
for against them by the public voice. But what have they to
fear from the sentence, when so little profit has been made of
:lose books, registers, and documents, found in their lodges
and ecret associations ;
when, in spite of the immense number
s
of sectaries found in Spain, there are no other punishments for
them than those mild ones (proscription) ordered by .irsrtlinand

question among all persons is, will the Ministry
revive after the terrible blow which it has re-
c"ived, or will it fait under the weight of the
-stroke ? '!'his question, as we have just saiti,

• when the plane is good, it is worth
many blows, and it is preserved as long as pos-
sible. Sourie .
•mt)vose the Ministry cannot, how-
ever, long preserve their places ; others suppose.
it is possible.
On 'Clll"'"4'al thousand reports are
in I
circulation on this suhiect ; one says a very in
fluential. 'Minister has offered his resign
which was not accepted ; another that the re-
..tfeat .of oomebody els-e :appears probable

though in this celebrated discussion he has
had the Precaution to preserve the appearance.
of neutrality. It appears, however, almost
impossible that the rejection of the law on the
Rentes should not speedily be followed by some
financial difficulties. Many speculators had made
considerable purchases in. the public funds, under
the idea that the project ••wonld:be adopted ; by
converting the Rentes from fives to fours, means
would have been provided a 4ailist this enormous
quantity of Rentes, but all these calculations are
destroyed, arid yet the 18 lance must be paid.-
-All the money sent from different parts of
Europe, to meet this grand financial operation,
will be stopped in its passage; arid yet the mo-
ment will arrive when the purchases made before
hand must be paid. The Denies, it is true, have
riot fallen much; but if those who purchased are
obliged to re-sell, it cannot be done without in-
curring a serious losS. Besides, the contemplated
reductions in Russia, Italy, cud Gerniany, will
probably sutler the same fate as those projected in
France. The stock-jobbers have every where
calculated on those European reductions, and
they will not take place. Those who have spe.
culated on these •immense operations will lose
large sums; whether they will pay them or not
is another- question. •

PAays, JUNE 6.—The rejection of the law on
the redUction of the interest of tie' voiles has
made a great impression ict this capital, and we
doubt not that the persons who, from regard to
private interests, have been elra‘vn into the oppo-
sition, will now make serious refh:ctions on the
consequences of the rejection,- The Quotidienne:
joins in chorus with the Constitutionnel and the
Courier _Francais in hymns of triumph to 'the
majority of the Chamber of Peers. We advise
it, however, in the intoxication of its. triumph,
not to lose sight of the fact, that the majority of
the Chamber of Deputies, which also contains
excellent Royalists, was of another opinion with
respect to the law. Must not the exaggerated
praises given to one be at the expellee of the
other ?

We call, moreover, the attention of the Quoli-
dienne to this little calculation, which may in-
duce him to pay some respect to the partisans of
the project of the law• :--
