the prey of a rapacious and arbitrary Government. Our
subjects found themselves codsfv celled to break their
osth,,or to leave without delay a hostile country. The
Irospborus is closed ..OSIT trade annihilated. Our
Southern Provinces, depriired of the only channel for
the exportation of their produce, are threatened with in-
calculable injury. Nay, more !—At the moment when
the negotiations between Russia and Persia are nearly
concluded, a sudden change on the part of the Persian.,
Government checks the course of them. It soon appears
that the Ottoman Porte exerts itself to make Persia
waver, by promising powerful aid, arming in-haste the
troops in the adjoining provinces, and preparing to
support by a threatening attack this treacherous hostile
language. This is the series of injuries of which Turkey
has been guilty, from the conclusion of the Treaty of
4ckermann up to this day; and this is, unhappily, the
frisk of the sacrifices and the generous exertions by
which Russia has incessantly endeavoured to maintain'
peace with a neighbouring nation. But all patience has
kph:nits; the honour of the Russian name, the dignity
of the Empire, the inviolability of its rights, and that of
nor, national glory, have prescribed to us ihe.bounclo of.

extent the duties imposed on us l)y imperative necessity,
and insp!retrwith the greatest confidence in the justice
of our cause, that we have ordered our army to advance
under the Divine protection against an enemy, who
violates the most :attest? obligations of the law of nip
dons. We are convinced that our faithful subjects will
join with our prayers the most ardent wishes for the
success of
.our eca4piise, and that they will implore
the ALMIGHTY to lend his support to our brave soldiers,
and to shed his Divine blessing on our arms, which are
destined to defindrour liberty, religion, and our beloved
country !

DECLARATION.

All the wishes of Russia to remain at peace with a
neighbouring nation have proved vain ; notwithstanding
its great patience and the most costly sacrifices, it has
been obliged to confide to arms theldefence of its rights in
the Levant, and energetically to impress on the Ottoman
Porte respect for exiting Treaties. It will, however,
develope the imperative and just motives which impose
on it the melancholy necessity of such a resolution..—
Sixteen years have passed since the peace of Bucha-
rest, and, for the same, period, we have seen the
Porte act contrary to the stipulations of the Treaty,
evade its promises, or ihdefinitely *delay the fulfilment
of them. But too many proofs, which the Im-
perial Cabinet will adduce, irrefragably proves the in-
fatuated hostile teudency of the policy of the Divan.—
On more than one occasion, particularly in 1821, the
Porte assumed, with respect to Russia, a character of
defiance and open hostility. For these three months
past it has again assumed this character, by formal acts
and measures which are known to all Europe.
Oa the same day that the Ambassadors of the three
Powers, who, by *convention free from all self interested-
nen, are united in a cause which is no other than that of
religion and of suffering humanity, expressed at their de•
perm. from Constantinople an ardent wish that peace,
might be preserved ; on the same day, when they pointed
out the easy means of attaining that object, and when the
Porte in the same manner most positively expressed its
pacific 4), on that same day it summoned all
nations professing the Mahometan faith to arms against
Russia, denouncing it as the implacable enemy of
Islamism; accusing it'of a design to overthrow the
Ottoman empire ; and while it announces its resolution
to negotiate, for the sole purpose of gaining time for
arming, but never intending to fulfil the essential
articles of the Treaty of Ackermann, it declares at the
same time, that it concluded that Treaty with no
other design than that of breaking it ; the Porte,
knew well that in this manner it also broke all preced-1
ing treaties; the renewal of which was expressly stipu-
lated by that of Ackermann ; but it had already taken its
resolutions beforehand, and regulated all its steps ac-
cos ding) y.

Scarcely had the Bultaa spoken with the vassats of
his Crown when the privileges of the Russian flag were
alrudy violated, the ships covered by it detained, their

_cargoes sequestrated, the Commanders of the ships
obliged to dispose of them at prices arbitrarily fixed,
the amount of an incomplete and tardy payment re-
duced to one half, and the subjects of bis Majesty the
Emperor compelled either to descend into the class of
Mayas, or to leave In a body the dominio4s of the,Ot-
tom= Government.

Meantime the Bosphorus is closed—the trade of the
Black Sea hindered—the Russian towns, whose exis-
tence depends upon it, see destroction before their eyes
—and the southern provinces of his Majesty the Ens-
poor lose the only channel for the exportation of their
produce, and the only maritime connection which can
promote the eschew of their commodities, render their
industry productive, and favour their manufactures and
prosperity. Even the boundaries of Turkey did not
limit the expression of their hostile sentiments. At the
same time that they were expressed at Constantinople,
General Paskewitschs after the conclusion of a glo
.
rious cimpaign, 'was negotiating a treaty of pall,
• ith Persia, the conditions of which were already ac-
cepted by the Court of Teheran. On a sudden, lokrol
warmness succeeded to the eagerness which had hitherto
een shown for the conclosien.of a Carnation, which'
as alriad7 apptorea by bOth parties in all its parti-
culars. These delays were followed by difficulties, and
then by an evidently hostile tendeacy ; and while on the
neighbootl
