the part of Russia, to the cause of 'the Greeks, than
anything that has yet appeased. They are quoted
from the Oriental Spectator, which? it is said, g, gives
some extracts from the Note's of Baron Strogonoff to
the Sublime Porte,lated the 18th and 26th of July ;
regretting 'that it cannot give the whole, which it
considers is a masterpiece of moderation and policy."
The Ambassador observes, that Russia, depend-
ing on the justice of her demands, and certain that
all her Allies are convinced of the purity of her in-
tentions, has, while she took upon herself the defence
si general interests, not alleged the particular rights
which may be considered as the ground of all its
proceedings towards the Turkish Government. He
alleges the treaty of It aniardgi, which gave Russia
the protection of the Greek Christians in all the States
of the Porte, and the treaty of Bucharest, which the
assumptions of the Reis Effendi, in the conference of
25th April, wou)d render vain ani of no effect, and
deprive the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia
of all prospect of seeing an cud of their misfortunes.
“ Russia desires, with respect to the Porte, what
she always ,has desired. While she frankly points
out to the Government the,..danger to which it ex-
poses itself, she will, at.dieisame time, shew it the
way to its preserv,ation ; and? if it obstinately persists
in not followjng that way; Russia will warn it before-
hand what attitude it will compel it to-assume. If,

as the Emperor Willingly believes, the .-measures
under which religion and humanity in Turkey groan,
have been taken contrary to the wishes'of the, Sub-
lime Porte, his Majesty requires that his Highness
-shall prove that he is not without power to alter a
system, which, as it now is, will no longer permit
the Christian Government is treat with the Tusks,
or to live upon any other terms with them than in a
state of war.

" Thatthe Greek churches that have been destroyed
or plundered, be immediately restored to a condition
adapted to their sacred destination ; thathis Highness
restore to the Christian worship its just rights, afford-
ing it the same protection as before, guaranteeing its
inviolability for the future, and doing everything to
console Europe for the death of the Patriarch of
Constantinople, and for the profanation which suc-
ceeded his death ; that a wise and just difference be
made between the authors of the troubles and those
who have taken part in them, and those whose inno-
cence should protect them from the severity of the
Divan ; that to this end a prospect of tranquillity
, and peace be Opened to the Greeks who have re-
mained faithful, or who shall submit within a certain
time; and that, whatever the state of things may be,
means shall be adopted to distinguish the innocent
from the guilty.
44 To the last moment, the gmperor will repel from
his mind every representation contrary to the pre-
ceding : but if the Turkish Government, contrary to
expectation, should manifest, that is, in consequence
of a plan voluntarily adopted, that those measures
are taken, respecting which the undersigned has al-
ready declared the opinion of his august Master, no-
thing will then remain to the Emperor than to de-
clare to the Sublime Porte, that it places itself in a
state of open hostility with the whole Christian world;
that it legalises the resistance of the Greeks, who
would then combat solely to save themselves from
inevitable destruction ; and that, considering the na-
ture of this contest, Russia will consider itself as
strictly bound to afford them an asylum, because,
they are persecuted ; protection, because she has a
right to do so; and assistance, in union with all Chris•
tendom, because she cannot leave her fellow-believers
a prey to blind fanaticism.
" In making these declarations to the Sublime
Porte, his Majesty the Emperor considers that he
has fulfilled all his obligations towards it. He has
proved that, as a faithful observer of treaties, he sin-,
cerely desires their maintenance, since he has pointed
out to it the means that may save-it, and even shewn

a wish to contribute to its preservation.
lc He proves it even this day, by pointing out the
only means by which the Sublime Porte can avert its
entire overthrow.
The undersigned is commanded to give the Sub-
lime Porte the space of eight days, to answer the pre-
sent communication.
"In case the Turkish Government listen to all the
wishes of his Imperial Majesty, and fulfil all his
hopes by acceding to these proposals, the undersigned
is commissioned to agree with the Sublime Porte
upon another period of time, during which it shall
have an opportunity of proving to Europe, by the
testimony of facts, that it not only accepts these pro-
posals, which must shew on its part a return to more
moderate principles, and which are here above stated,
but also that it exerts itself to carry them into effect
—and that it not only does not desire the evil, but
also that it is able and willing to prevent it.
" In every other case, the undersigned has orders
to announce to the Sublime Porte, that he is imme-
diately to leave Constantinople, with all the Officers
and other persons belonging to the Embassy of his
Imperial Majesty. -
" The undersigned takes this opportunity, &c.

After the lapse of the LIMO fixed, his Excellency'
wrote a jecond note, recapitulating the chief points
of the preceding. He complains that not only his
first Dtagotnan has not brought any written answer
as the occasion imperiously demanded, but that even
the manner in which the Ottoman Minister had ex-
pressed himself verbally respecting the three
