TURKEY.

NOTE FROM COUNT DE NESSELRODE, SECRETARY OF
- STATE TO TILE EMPEROR OF ALL 'THE RUSSIAS, TO
THE REIS EFFENDI, DATED MAY 16.

" The letter which your Excellency sent to me
through Lord Strangfoi d, which I submitted to the
Emperor, is now before me. His Majesty has or-
dered me to make the following reply : Ile hopes
to have the happiness to prove to you how anxious he
is for the preservation of peace between the two States.
The Ottoman Porte must be convinced of it. The
Emperor has claimed the privileges insured to him
by treaties, he has shewn openly the dangers to which
the violation of them would expose the Porte, he has
never been influenced by hostile views, even when his
councils and his warnings were misunderstood ;
amidst deplorable events he transmitted, through his
Ministers and his allies, offers and representations to
the Divan, which shew how much he had the in-
terest of the Porte at heart.

" His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador has not,
failed to represent. to the Ottoman Government, the
pacific sentiments of the Emperor, and the modera-
tion which had always guided his policy. The Em-
peror's system is still the same ; he has learnt with
pleasure, from your Excellency's letter, that the Porte
was ready to execute its treaties, and that, conforming
to usage, and respecting the 'r►ghts of Russia, it haJ
named Hospodars in the two Principalities, and had
given orders to the Turkish troops to evacuate en-
tirely those provinces, to leave them in the full en-
joyment of the privileges which ancient treaties
grant to them.
" This first step of the Porte for the definitive ar-
rangement of the difficulties existing between the two
Powers, afforded the Emperor the greatest satisfac-
doe, and he dares to hope that the other points which
remain to be arranged will be so, conformably to sti-
pulated conventions.
" The steps taken by Lord Strangford, in the ne-
gociations confided to him, the proof of facts, and of

the incontestible results of the orders given by the
Porte for the entire evacuation of Wallachia and Mol-
davia, make the Emperor see the possibility of re-
newing his ancient relations with the Ottoman Go-
vernment. It is to this end that the re-establishment
of a Russian Embassy at Constantinople will take
place, to follow the negotiations entered upon in 1821,
upon the same principles, and in the same manner :
but this negotiation, though it has no relation to ex-
isting difficulties, cannot commence till they have al-
together boen done away.
" This result is expected by every one with impa-
tience ; the real interests of the Porte demand it ;
and to prove how much this object enters into the
views of his Majesty, he will not, in the present letter,
pass over in silence, the observations to which several
passages in the Note of your Excellency have al-
luded, and which relate to the measures adopted
lately by the Ottoman Government. Lord Strang-
ford will present on this head congratulations to the
Divan, on the part of his Majesty. The Emperor, my
Master, flatters himself that the Porte will appreciate
the present step, and the object of the fresh commu-
nications of the English:
