THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUR' 8, 1860.

as SANCHO PANZA to our legislative banquet of ,
1860. We are rising up from it in a plight con-
siderably worse than that of a guest at the feast of
Barmecides. It has been to us rather like the fare-
well entertainment of TimoN of Athens, in the great
satiric drama of SHAKSPERE. Mr. HoRSMAN has
articulated for us a grace like that of the cynical
APEMANTHUS. We have found ourselves drenched
withhot water, and have had the empty golden dishes
flung at our heads. This is the result of the expir-
ing session, so far as it affects ourselves. But how
will the memory of this past half-year affect us in
the eyes of surrounding nations ? Will it not con-
firm some at least among our Imperial neighbours in
the opinion that we must, in a great measure, be a
nation of shopkeepers—sacrificing everything, as
our chief financier has shown himself willing
to do, for the sake of tacking on to the glo-
rious skirts of Free Trade the wretched little
peddling anti•climax of a Reciprocity Treaty—a
treaty in effect absurdly so called, seeing that
there is in it nothing at all bearing even a sha-
dow resemblance to reciprocity. lAGO himself
might sum up the results of this lamentable session
of 1860, as tersely as he did the whole duty of
woman—" To suckle fools and chronicle small
beer"—adding hereto, as truthfully as scornfully-
-0 most lame and impotent conclusion."

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, AUG. 8.

The 21Ioniteur of to•day gives an account of the
review of the troops who are to leave for Syria. The
Emperor addressed the troops as follows :—" Sol-
diers ! you leave for Syria. France hails with joy
an expedition the whole aim of which is to cause
the rights of justice and humanity to triumph.
You do not go to make war against any foreign
Power, but to assist the Sultan in bring-
ing back the obedience of his subjects,
who are blinded by the fanaticisms of a former
century. On that distant land, rich in great re-
miniscences, fulfil your duty, show yourselves the
worthy children of those who once gloriously car-
ried into that country the banner of Christ. You
do not leave in great numbers, but your courage
and your prestige will supply the deficiency, be-
cause wherever the French flag is seen to pass
nations know that a great cause precedes it, and a
great people follow it."

The Moniteur also publishes a decree creating a
special cadre of naval lieutenants with fixed resi-

dence.

The following letter from Prince Pierre Napoleon
Bonaparte, addressed to M. Bertani, of Genoa, is
published in the Diritto : _ _

" Sir,—Twice honoured by the popular suffrages
of my heroic Corsica, I think it my duty to protest
against an assertion of the Illovimento of Genoa
and other journals that a certain Gricelli, who has
been very properly expelled from Sicily, is an ex-
officcr. No, sir, this Gricelli has never been an
officer. I know him. He is an ex-police spy, and
if he meditated anything against Italy and her
noble champion, I disavow him as a Corsican, and
I do not fear to be contradicted by my excellent
fellow. citizens. Corsica, Italian in language and
manners, is French by duty, by choice, and by fra-
ternity in glory. The laurels she prizes most are
those which her children gathered at Magenta and
Solferino. Margaeci, the first who fell at Monte-
bello, was a Corsican. In the eyes of Corsicans,
Garibaldi is a Sampiero, a national hero, dear in
triumph, dearer still in adversity, who loves arms
and liberty. He is sacred, and the Corsicans would
wish to see a thousand vendette against the man
who should pluck a hair from his head, which is
surrounded by a halo of patriotic love and of Italian
hopes. Such are our true sentiments. I affirm that
to you, as the worthy representative of the brave
man whom I count with pride among the Italian
friends of Charles Bonaparte and Cencio Valen-
tine of dear, illustrious, and glorious memory.
Accept, &c.,
" PIERRE NAPOLEON BONAPARTE."

PRINCE GORTSCHAKOF.F"S CIRCULAR.

The following is Prince Gortschakoff's circular to
;he Russian diplomatic agents abroad on the sub-
ect of Turkey :

" St. Petersburg, April 23, 1860.
" The situation of the Christian provinces sub-
ject to the domination of the Porte could not have

escaped the notice of the great European powers.
The Imperial Cabinet has considered it necessary
to devote the more attention to it that the reports
which reach it from those provinces, and particu-
larly from Bosnia, the Herzegovine, and Bulgaria,
draw an afflicting picture of the situation of those
countries.

"We considered it our duty to prevent as much
as possible the eventualities which such a state of
things might produce in the general situation of
the East. We called the attention of the Turkish
Ministers to all the facts which came to our know-
ledge, and pointed out the necessity of applying a
remedy to them. We received from them promises
and assurances which, up to the present time, have
been without result. We have at the same time
constantly recommended the Christians not to ex-
pose themselves to the danger of aggravating their
position by any violent resolutions, but to wait
patiently for the possible improvement of their
condition.

"These measures have perhaps contributed to
delay the explosion which everything seemed to
prognosticate. Nevertheless they could not be
effectual, except something were done to alleviate
the sufferipgs of those people, or at least to give
them some hopes of relief, and thus prevent them
being driven to desperation.
"Such has not been the case; all the accounts
which reach us state that excesses of all kinds con-

stantly tend to keep up agitation in those countries,
and that the evil had attained its utmost limit.

" Under those circumstances the Imperial Cabi
net fears that representations addressed isolatedly
to the Turkish Government would remain without
effect, and that the exhortations addressed to the
Christians to be resigned would not be sufficient to
prevent a conflict.
" We can fully appreciate the difficulties against
which the Porte has to struggle, and we have no
doubt of its good intentions. But if, after the pro-
mises made to Europe in 1856, things have now
come to this point, it is evident that they must be
attributed either to the weakness and to a culpable
indulgence on the part of the Ottoman Government,
or to the inconveniences inherent to the situation
created for the Christian provinces under Turkish
rule.
" However this may be, we are convinced that
such a state of things cannot continue without
shortly leading to a crisis dangerous for the repose
of the East, the existence of the Ottoman Govern-
ment, and consequently for the general interests of
Europe.
"Persuaded that the other great Powers cannot,
more than ourselves, remain indifferent to those
serious eventualities, we think that an intervention
exercised collectively at Constantinople, by all the
Cabinets interested in the tranquillity of Turkey, is
alone calculated to ward off the threatened events.
" For this purpose, and wishing to establish as
complete an understanding as possible, I by order of
the Emperor assembled round me the representa-
tives of England, Austria, France, and Prussia. I
pointed out to them the danger of a crisis, the ur-
gency of preventing it, and the means which we
thought the best calculated to effect this object. I
requested them to make the necessary communica-
tions to their Governments, and to unite in the
steps we proposed to take.
"Wishing to fix on some determinate bases for
these proceedings, the representatives, under the
reserve of the sanction of their respective Courts,
agreed with me on the following points :
" 1. An immediate declaration on the part of the
five great Powers that they could no longer tole-
rate the present state of things in the Christian
provinces of the Ottoman empire.
" 2. A demand for an organisation, having for
object to give to the Christian provinces of the
Porte effectual guarantees calculated to satisfy the
legitimate complaints of the people, and at the same
time to tranquillise Europe with regard to the pos-
sibility of complications which affected her general
interests as well as those of Turkey.
" The Court at which you are accredited will be
informed direct by its representative at St. Peters-
burg of the conference which has taken place on
this subject. You are authorised to declare by order
of our august master, to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, that, as far as we are concerned, we hold
completely to the above-mentioned bases, and that,
consequently, we are ready to send the necesssary
instructions to our representative at Constanti-
nople.
" Be kind enough, however, to add that, without
wishing to encroach on the resolutions of the
Cabinet of . we feel the fullest conviction
that this measure offers the only hope of prevent-
ing, if it be even possible, complications which
might seriously threaten the peace of the East and
the security of Europe, and that the only means of
checking the explosion is to act collectively,
promptly, and energetically, for the moment fast
approaches when any hesitation and any scruples
may lead to the most disastrous consequences.
" GORTSCHAKOFF."
