RUSSIAN DECLARATION OF WAR.

At length the die is cast—the Emperor
NICHOLAS has issued forth his Declara-
tion of War—and the Russian Army has
crossed the Pruth. We have this morning
received the official documents, announcing this
important event, which were published at St.
Petersburgh on the 26th day of April, and on
the 27th the army had orders to invade the
Turkish Territories. The Emperor in his Ma-
nifesto accuses the PORTE of having by its con-
duct destroyed all subsisting treaties between
the two Powers, and to have left Russia no
other alternative but to seek redress by force of
arms. The treaty of Bucharest—and the con-
vention of Merman, as well as other treaties,
have been trampled under foot by the PORTE,
which only made professions of peace that
it might the more securely prepare for war.
The EMPEROR further says, that Russian
trade was annihilated by the closing of the
Bosphorus, and the southern provinces of
Russia rendered useless by the same cause.
The PORTE is also accused of having, by its
treacherous machinations, stirred up Persia to
War. But, added the EMPEROR, " all patience
has its limit, the honour of the Russian name,
the dignity of the Empire, the inviolability of its
1
tights, and that of our national glory, have pre-
scribed to us the bounds of it.

" It is not till after having weighed in their
fullest scent the duties imposed on us by im-
Perative necessity, and inspired with the greatest
confidence in the justice of our cause, that we
leave ordered an army to advance, under the
Divine protection, against an enemy who vio-
late:: the most sacred obligations of the law of
Nations."

After enumerating the various grievances in
detail, the EMPEROR says, that Russia, never-
theless, is very far from entertaining ambitious
Plans ; enough of countries and nations already
they its commands; cares enough are already
united with the extent of its dominions.

" Lastly, Russia, though at war with the Porte for rea-

lons which are independent of the Convention of the 6th
July, has not departed, and will not depart from the stipu-
lations of that act. It did not, and could not, condemn
Russia to sacrifice its earlier important rights to endure
decided affronts, and to demand no indemnity for the
toast sansible injuries. But the duties which it im-
Poses upon it, and the principles on which it
it founded, will be fulfilled with scrupulous fidelity and
otictly observed. The Allies will find Russia always ready
act in concert with them in the execution of the treaty
ois f London, always zealous to co-operate in a work which
COMMended to its care by Religion and all the feelings
":"ch do honour to humanity, always inclined to make use
its situation for the speedy fulfilment of the stipulations
°I. the Treaty of the 6th of July, but to make any change in
'3 nature and its effects.

" Theia7peror---;iiinot lay down his arms fill he has
Ibtained the results stated in this declaration, and he ex-
,Petts them from the benedictions of him to whom justice
kid

a pure conscience have never yet appealed in vain."

nag official documents :

ktitocrat of all the Russias, &c. &c. &c.
The Treaty of Bucharest concluded in the'year 1812, with
Ottoman Porte, after having been for sixteen years the
;11',ieet of reiterated disputes, now no longer subsists in spite
% all our exertions to maintain it, and to preserve it from all
attacks. The Porte, not satisfied with having destroyed the
,7148 of that Treaty, now defies Russia, and prepares to
,lage against it a Bellum internecinuin ; it summons its
;"Ple in a mass to arras, accuses Russia of being its irre-
aecileable enemy, and tramples under foot the Convention
Akerman, and with that all preceeding Treaties.

accepted the conditions of this peace only as a
Fto conceal its intentions, and its preparations

,;en the rights of the Russian flag are violated, the vessels
it covers detained, and the cargoes made the prey of
ktapacious and arbitrary Government. Our subjects
le'rld themselves compelled to break their oath, or to
the, without delay, a hostile country. The Bosphorus is

pePrived of the only channel for the exportation of their

17ia and Persia are nearly concluded, a sudden
tlitittle on the part of the Persian Government checks

dZta exerts itself to make Persia waver, by pro-
-414g powerful aid, arming in baste the troops in
the adjoining provinces, and preparing to support by a
li;rsatening attack this treacherous hostile language.
