helm renal given A 0 the sespiest 0 hod a favourable I
ear to the legal excuses and tea) olpstac.lon which the
Sublime Porte-had, with good faith, at different times]
alleged on this subject.
Finally, the fatal event of blavarin—an &gni uh.l
heard of and unexampled in the history of nations—.
still made no change in the amicable relations cf the
Sublime Porte; but not content with the concesston%
which the Sublime Porte might, from regard solely to
the three Powers, and without any farther addition,
Kraut to the country still in rebellion, the Russian En-
voy departed from Constantinople without motive or
lesson.

Were the Sublime Porte to detail her numeroustom•
plaints, and insist upon her Jost rights, each of the
points abive stated would become in itself a special de-
claration. But the circumstances which preceded and
folloived the Greek insurrection, herring clearly demon-
strated what was its origin, and the natural progress of
events having only tended to confirm the opinion pre-
viously form-d, the Sub ime Porte, v. ithout wishing to
impute the origin of the revolution to atiy quarter; con-
tinued to testify towards Russia all the respect and all
the friendship which Treaties and vicinage sequined :
she endeavoured to maintain the most favourable rela-
tions, but of this no acvaint was taken. Besides, inas-
tuu:h as the Sublime Yogic, from the desire of pre-
serviag peace, displayed a mildness and condescension.
in so much did Russia oppose to her reserve and hos-
tile•proceedings. It was natural that such a conduct
-should excite in the minds of NI ossulnions the idea. of
inert enmity. and awaken among them all the ardour.
'of Islamism.
Besides that not`iing can prove the reproach which
Russia addresses to us of having concluded the Tre.cy
of Ackermann with a mental reservation—the Procla-
mation whirl, the Sublime Porte, for certain reasons,
circulated in its States, being an internal transaction,
of which the Sublime Porte alone knows the motive, ft is
, evident that the language held by a Government to its
own subj,cts cannot be a ground for another Govern-
ment picking a quarrel with it.
Nevertheless, immediately after the departure of the
Envoy, the Grand Vizier, in an official letter to the
Prime Minister of Russia, clearly expresied that, faith-
till to the good it tensions so long manifested, the Sub-
lime Porte was always desirous of maintaining peace.
Now if Russia had equally desired, as she pretended in
her declaration, sincerely to maintain peace between the
two States;as all discussions betwen Powers ought to be
based on the text of treaties, or on official document,,
the official letter of the Grand Vizier well deserved to
be accej.ted and taken into consideration according to
diplomatic practice, and in the hypothesis of this pro.
clansation having given some suspicion to Russia, the
course of communication nct being obstsucted between
the two Courts, Russia might have applied.amicably to
the Sublime Porte to ascertain the truth anal to clear
up her doubts. Far from following this course, perhaps
even Without taking into consideration the correct in-
formation transmitted on the subject by the representa-
tives of other (madly Powers who were still bere, she
hastened toeless that proclamation among the number
of her complaints and pretexts. Then, is not the party
which has declared war e►idently thlit which most have
concluded the treaty of Ackermann with a mental re-•
servation? The facts carry their proofs along with
them, and relieve us from the necessity of further de-
monstration.
We tome now to the seizure of the cargoes of Bus.

vinces furnished is, thanks be to Gon, sufficient for the
consumption of the capital, nevertheless the blockade.

As to the reproach of droving excited Persia against
Russia, it is a pure ca.umnr. Never did the Sublime
Porte think it cons•stent with its dignity I's instigate
•ne nation against anot•rer. Far from exciting Persia,
the Sublime Porte cab-trued the stilt test netitraluy, nei
ther u►ising itself up with the origin or the issue of the
war or the price between the two einpiies. Ir some
neighbouring Paellas made preprations, they aereonly
