Protocol of a Conference held at the Department of Foreign

Affairs, August 3, 180.
The Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain Austria,
France, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey, desirous
of establishing, in conformity with the intentions
of their respective Courts, the true character of the
assistance afforded to the Sublime Porto by the provisions
of the Protocol signad this day, the feelings which have
dictated the clauses of this Act, and their perfect disinte-
restedness, declare in the most formal manner, that the
Contracting Powers do not intend to seek for, and will not
seek for, in the execution of their engagements, any territo.
rial advantages, any exclusive influence, or any concession
with regard to the commerce of their subjects, such as
could not be granted to the subjects of all other nations.
Nevertheless, in recalling here the Acts issued by his
Majesty the Sultan, the great importance of which was esta-
blished by Article IX. of the Treaty of March 30, 1856,
they cannot refrain from expressing the value'which their re-
, spective Courts attach to the fulfilment of the solemn pro-
mises of the Sublime Forte, that serious administrative
measures should be taken to ameliorate the condition of the
Christian population, of every creed, in the Ottoman Em-
pire.
The Plenipotentiary of Turkey takes note of this decla-
ration of the Representatvies of the High Powers, and
undertakes to transmit it to his Court ; pointing out that
the Sublime Porte has employed, and will continue to em-
ploy, her efforts in the sense of the wish expressed aboy:.
