AFFAIR OF TUNIS.
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 27.—1 n furnishing you with
a liberal and authentic copy of the subjoined note of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sublime Porte to the
Baron de Bourqueney, the French Minister Plenipoten-
tiary, I hope that I afford you the means of at once
clearing up the mystery which has enveloped the later
negotiations with respect to Tunis, and in explanation °'
which so many erroneous and mutilated versions ,have
been already given to the public. The whole drift
of the Baron de Bourqueney's communication to the
Porte upon this subject embraced two propositions, tend.
.ing both of them to establish the same point—viz, the
inexpediency at the present moment of any change °n
the part of the Porte in the administration of the Pacha'
lit of Tunis. Firstly, because in the unsettled state °
the Regency of Algiers, the removal from office of Mb'
met Pacha, the present Governor of Tunis, in whose I°-
n9urable intentions the French Government reposed Wei.
greatest confidence, and the appointment in his place °
a functionary whose views- and dispositions were T 1•
known to it, and who might possibly embroil the re.nt:
tions of the two countries, could not be regarded but wiPti
great alarm and jealousy by the French Cabinet ; an
secondly, because the duties incumbent on the Govern°,
of Tunis, and the tribute due to the Porte, would her,
forward receive for their fulfilment and punctual lititni
tion an additional security in the guarantee of the French
Government ; and that, for these reasons, the disnu's,,
.-
of Achmet Pacha was equally uncalled for and inadinl9o'
sible. Convinced by these very powerful arguments ft)to
say nothing of the presence of six French ships of '/it
line at Smyrna) the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Serl,e
Effendi, spared no pains to reassure his Excellency, t',,f
French Minister, with respect to the pacific intentionssfulli
the Sublime Porte, and to receive with the most gnat` t°
acknowledgments on its behalf, the liberal offer made
if
it by the French Cabinet, of exacting the due Pen
formance of the duties incumbent on his vassnl• b.
would undoubtedly consider itself fortunate, could it ° ,
tain a similar assurance and security for the revel,
and administration of every Pachalic of the empire. A
these assurances of Sarim Effendi Were at first conveYv;
de vive voix, the Baron de Bourqueney, in order to hs,r,
some record of the result of the several conferences m
had held with the Minister, was, at his particulst
request, furnished with this following note : •of
TRANSLATION FROM THE TURKISH OF THE ANSWER
4,4
THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE PCili
TO A NOTE RELATIVE TO THE REC-EKCY or TURD-
", The report of a determination of the Sublime r°,-,tl
with reference to a change in the actual form UNthe 'Pt:
vernment of Tunis, having reached the French billet,
I was desired, in our last conference, by your Excel/ eli;
to give you a full and explicit explanation on this s QCs
Cn4l
ject. It certainly cannot be denied that many reP°,,
have been lately disseminated on this head, and his -'4-0;
cellency Reschid Pacha having received a communicatito
from the French Government thereon, had referred
~,
the Sublime Porte for instructions. His Imperial IT,
jest, 's Government, as I had before the honour to
.5
dare verbally to your Excellency, has never meditetq
any change in the present form of the Government or°
Tunis, and, in the event of Achmet Pacha, the Gove3o
of. that Pachalic, always fulfilling the duties 0'
station, and paying the stipulated tribute, the Goverd,
ment of his Highness engages to refrain, error
the as or
the future, from all designs or projects to his prejudi°' of
having for their object a change in the Admimstration
t°
that Pachalic.. Reschid Pacha, I have the honour t`:,
inform your Excellency, has been formally directed
ratify these negotiations at Paris, and therefore 1 0
fully authorised to apprise your Excellency that to
Sublime Porte, as I have already intimated, has Comae 0
no such determination on this head, and that it harbla ,
none but such as may have for its sole end the Pgr:lf
servation of the public tranquility ; and I avail Ini—of
of the opportunity afforded me by the transmissit 6,
these written demonstrations, of repeating the assur'.
of my high consideration.
