RUSSIA AND THE PORTE.

The following, letter from, the-GrandVizir to
Count Nesse'rode-, appears in a Nuremb.urg paper
of the 10th inst. :

' " Illustrious; excellent, and highly esteemed- Friered,—lt
being obvious and manifest that the two Powers are desirous not
only of the continuance, but also of the inersase, of the amity
and goodniaderstanding which, in virtue of treaties, subsist be-
tween the Sublime Porte and the Court of Russia, its affec-
tionate friend and neighbour : it being also necessary that
Baron Strogonoffi the Russian Minister at Constantinople,
should conform to the salutary system adopted by both Courts
in amity, we addressed to your Excellency, on the 27th of the
Ramazan, an amicable expos of the proceedings and conduct
of the aforessaid Minister, in opposition to that system, and also
of the true state of the questions originated by him ; in short
of the real source of every circumstance. In order that the
communication might the sooner reach its destination, it was
conveyed through the hands of the Austrian Minister, and we
hope by this time it will have reached yoUr Excellency, and
that you will have taken it into your consideretion.
" Baron Strogonoff having resorted to some idle pretexts to
testify his dissatisfaction with the Sublime Porte, and having
put a stop to all communication with it (as is stated in the letto.
before nientioned), the Sublime Porte not having it in its power
to confer with that :Minister, expected from your Excellency's
wisdom an answer to its friendly communication, when the afore-
said Minister presented an of eial Note, dated the Stn of July
(new style.) That note contains a recapitulation of 211 the ques-
tions originated by him on different points relative, to existing
circumstances, to which answers of an amicable nature have been
returned at several times, arid which are likewise detailed in our
letter. The definitive reply to that note was demanded in the
course of eight days.
" Although it be contrary to the usage in practice amongst
States to fix a period for communications of such a nature,
,the
Sublime Porte, desirous of testifying on that occasion its
friendly compliance, hastened to conclude its reply for the time
,appointed; and the day after the expiration of the Bth day, it
notified to the Russian einierpreters that they should repair to
the Porte to receive the answer, and convey it to their Minister
but they found some pretext for not complying with that intima-
tion, and replied they would conic the next day to receive it.,
They did present themselves at the office of the Reis -Effencli•
on the following day, but declared that the eight days, which
was the time allowed, being expired, the Minister could not
accept any answer, and that he was obliged to leave the capital
immediately with the parsons attached to the legation. adding,
-that shoaled the Porte pretend to delay or detain him in any
way; he would, notwithstauding, depart •for Odessa, to act.ac-
cording to the instructions he should receive from his Court.
" The. Russian Ambassador having at the. same time ad-
dreasod an official note to the embassies of the other Powers ex-
credited to this government, intimating to them that he was ab-
solutely determined to depart without listening to the le:mon-
strance.; of the Sublime Porte, those ministers represented that
the departure .Qf the ambasSador, notwithstanding the instruc-
tions which according to his own statement he bad received,
ought not by any means to be considered as a proof of hostile
intentions on the part of Russia towards the Porte,. and that in
the eveit of the ambassador's departure in such a manner, it
was probable another would come to fill his place; that at that
time the best lire of conduct to nursue was not to oppose his
departure, and that they were all convinced the Porte on this
ocenesior had not acted so as to compromise the amity arid good
understetnelii-suLsistieg between it and the Court of Russia.
" The Sublime Porte not being able to diseunde the Russiin
Minister from his resolution of departing, it finally left him to
depart or remain as he pleased. Mean time that the Russians
may be able to judge of the note which its ambassador would
not receive, we transmit it to your Excellency.
" We doubt not that your Excellency, endowed with a sound
understanding, will recognize in the preteding communication;
and the official note annexed to it, not only the real statement
and authentic detail of every-thing that has taken place, but the
efforts and particular solicitude of -the Porte fcr the continua-
tion of peace with Russia, its affectionate friend, and the increase
of amity and concord between the two empires. We also hope
your Excellency will,on your own pa:rt, give proofs of your benevo-
lence and equity on all occasions, and that, acting with .w6dorn
and sincerity, you will kindly give your attention to discover the
meat proper and effectual means for strengthening and cement-
ing the amicable relations which form the object of the mutual
wishes of both the High Powers. With this view the present
friendly communication has been despatched to your 'Excel-•

lency. From its favourable reception, if it please Goa, we shall
entertain hopes that you will act conformably to our wishes.
" At the beginning of the month of Ziskande, in the year
1236 (Aug 1, 1321).
" The Grand Vizir, Hadij Salib-Paeha,
t,o his Excellency Count Nesselrode."
