RUSSIA AND THE PORTE.

iTUREMBURG, SEPTEMBER 10.
We have redeived two very interesting articles ;
°he of them is a letter from the Grand Vizier to
Count Nesselrode; and the other an answer of the
Porte to the note of Baron Strogonoff, the Russian
Ambassador, of the 18th of July, which is doubtless
that which has been modified according to the ob-
is:mations of M. Lutww and Lord Strangford. The
following is the letter of the Grand Vizier to Count
Nesseirocie

" Illustrious, Excellent. and highly-esteemed Friend,
"It being obvious and manifest that the two
Powers ate desirous not only of the continuance, but
also of the increase of the amity and good under-
standing
which, in virtue of Treaties, subsist between'
the Sublime Porte and the Court of Russia, its affec-
tionate friend and neighbour ; it being also necessary
that Baron Stroganoff, the Russian Minister at Con-
stantinople, should conform to the salutary system
adopted by both Courts in amity, we addressed to
your Excellency, on the 27th of the Ramazan, an
amicable esposé of the proceedings and conduct of
the aforesaid Minister, in opposition to that system,
and also of the true state of the questions originated
by him ; in short, of the real source of every circum-
stance. In order that the communication might
sooner reach its destination, it was conveyed through
the hands of the Austrian Minister, and we hope, by
this time, it will have reached your Excellency, and
that you will have taken it into your consideration.
a Baron Strogonoff having resorted to some idle
pretexts to testily his dissatisfaction with the Sublime
Porte, and having put a stop to all communication
with it (as stated in the letter abovementioned), the
Sublime Porte not having it in its power to confer
with that Minister, expected from your Excellency's
wisdom an answer to its friendly communication,
when the aforesaid Minister presented an official note,
dated the tith July (new style). That note contains
a recapitulation of all the questions originated by
him on different points relative to existing circum-
stances, to which answers of an amicable nature have
been returned at sevei al times, and which are like-
wise detailed in our letter. The definitive reply to
that note was demanded in the course cf eight days.
" Although it be contrary to the usage in practice
amongst States to fix a period for communications
of such a nature, the Sublime Porte, desirous of tes-
tifying on that occasion its friendly compliance,
hastened to conclude its reply for the time appointed,
and the day after the expiration of the eighth day, it
notified to the Russian Interpreters that they should
repair to the Porte to receive the answer and convey
it to their Minister; but they found some pretext for
not complying with that intimation, and replied,
that they would come the next day to receive it.—
They did present themselves at the office of the Reis
Effendi on the following day ; but declared, that the
eight days, which was the time allowed, being ex-
pired, the. Minister could not accept any answer—
that he was obliged to leave the capital immediately
with the persons attached to the Legation; adding,
that should the Porte pretend to delay or detain him
in any way, he would, notwithstanding, depart for
Odessa, to act according to the instructions he should
receive from his Court.

4, The Russian Ambassador, having at the same
time addressed an Official Note to the Embassies of
the other Powers accredited to this Government, in-
timating to them that he was absolutely determined
to depart without li,tening to the remonstrances of
the Sublime Porte, those Ministers represented, that
the departure of the Ambassador, notwithstanding
the instructions which, according to his own state-
ment, he had received, ought not by any means to
be considered as a proof of hostile intentions on the
part of Russia towards the Porte; and that, in the
event of the Ambassador's departure in such a man-
ner, it was probable another would come to fill his
place; that at that time the best line of conduct to
pursue was, not to oppose his departure ; and that
they were all convinced the Porte on this occasion
had not acted so as to compromise the amity and
good understanding subsisting between it and the
Court of Russia.

" The Sublime Porte not being able to dissuade the
Russian Minister from his resolution of departing, it
finally left him to depart or remain, as he pleased.
Meantime, that the Russians may be able to judge of
the Note which their Ambassador would not receive,
we transmit it to your Excellency.

traordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary from the
Court of Russia to the Ottoman Porte, on the sub.
ject of the measures and dispositions which it has
taken, and continues CO take, with regard to the
Greek nation, now in rebellion against a Sovereign
full of clemency.
gg Although it was publicly notorious, that the
system constantly
.pursued by the Sublime Porte, as
well anteriorly as on the latter place. was founded on
a 6rm resolution to execute religiously the Trestflas
and conventions with all the friendly Powers, and
especfally with its affectionate neighbour, the Court
of Russia; that its invariable intention is to preserve
always with her the present friendship and the most
perfect intelligence, and that its amicable dispoti,
tions have been stated at several times, in official
communications to the said Envoy, and to the Mi-
nisters and Charge de Affaires of the other Powers.—
although it may be superfluous to repeat here how
many tames, and in how many different ways it has
endeavoured to convince the said Envoy, our friend,
on the subject of the events referred to in his said
Note, viz. •

" That all the individuals punished In consequence
of this transaction, and amongst them the Greek Pa-
triarch, and other Prelates, had only been subjected
to the chastisement which they deserved •
" That the insults offered to some of the Greek
Churches, were only attacks committed by the dregs
of the populace;
" That the adoption of a life in camps, instead of
one in cities, and the general arming of the Moslem
nation, were only measures indispensable for the
maintenance of internal good order, and in-no way
affected the friendly Powers, or the different classes
of the innocent Rajas (Greeks);

44 That the instructions given to the Commander
of the troops, sent by the Sublime Porte into Walla-
chia and Moldavia, had no other end than to reduce
the rebels, and to purge the provinces ;—that the
Porte had no intention of changing the order of
things once established, nor to do anything to preju•
dice the privileges which the said provinces enjoy
that as soon as tranquillity shall have been re-esta-
blished, that is to say, when the Brigands, who have
appeared in those principalities, shall have been en-
tirely expelled ;—in short, when the ci-devant Prince
of Moldavia, Michel, and his adherents who have
escaped with hits, as well as those wretches who
have fled into the Russian or Austrian territories,
shall have been either given up, or well and publicly
punished on the very spots in which they shall have
been taken, then the Sublime Porte would proceed
immediately to the installation of the Waivodes, and
would take the greatest care to cause ancient con-
ventions to be ooserved, and to maintain the privi-
leges of the two provinces as formerly;-...
44 Nevertheless the said Envoy, our friend, dis-
carding, against all attempts to the contrary, and
without any motive, every feeling of moderation,
shutting his ears to the frank and straight forward
representations of the Sublime Porte, and pretending
reasons frivolous and contrary to the usages prac-,
tised by Foreign Missions, testified his discontent at
the steps taken by the Government ; and determining
to retire to Bujukdere, forbad his interpreters to com-
municate with the Porte, and cut off all relations
with it. Now, although the orders, in form of a
notification, which the Russian Minister has received
in consequence of these events, may be founded only
on reports (little conformable to the truth) which he
has presented to his Court, yet the good intentions,
and the straight forward proceedings of the Porte in
this affair, as well as in all others, whether of recent
or distant date, are not less clear than the sun at
noon-day ; they are appreciated by the Representa-
tives of all the other Powers of Europe, and are
known to all the world.

eg Seeing that the Envoy, our friend, has retired to
Bujukdere, and that he has cut off all communica.
tion with him; and seeing, above all, that, in spite of
the functions which he filled, he has not solicited the
answer which the Sublime Porte expected to a dis-
patch written by the Reis Effendi, at the commence-
ment of the troubles, to the Russian Minister for Po-
reign Affairs, which was delivned in conference to
the Envoy, the Sublime Porte has felt it necessary to
make known directly, and without intermediation,
to the Court of Russia, its last intentions with re-
spect to the affairs in question—intentions founded
entirely on justice and rectitude. In consequence of
this, his Highness the Grand Vizier has written ila
extenso to the Russian Government."
