points now in agitation'
the Court of Russia,
other representations ;
having also been comic
and members of Council
within their knowledge.
It is superfluous to speak,

Allied Powers, the nutintainance of general Inmquil-
lily I that she has no ether object than this, that she
otter will he disposed to adopt the detestable measure of
violating treaties, sad of being the first •10 'commence
war, and that her attention and scrupulous cares to fulfil
exactly and literally her engagements towards*, Court I
of Russia are constant and manifest. ,
Whitit it is necessary, however, on to taw /Mg that
Ruda sheald observe in the first instasos, 'and before
eke execution of any other article, -that concerning the,
surrender of fugitives. (the first point is discussion,
which admits no qualification, and, with reference to the
state of rebellion, ought to he subject to no delay) she
bas signified, that under present circumstances she can.
not, wb a may be the motive, deliver those fugitives
whom the Sublime Porte demands by virtue of treaties,
and because she considers that delivery essential to the
re-establishment of tranquillity. With regard to the
(heck spathes, which is forming imaginary projects of
creating a country, and rendering herself independent,
she has begs' by ovevolt, in the two principalities, and
is some other districts, from the Ottoman, empire. As I
at this moment she continues to hoist the standard of in-
satrectioa, and to carry on war la different provinces.
the Sublime Porte, in the sole view of maintaining good
order in tier state, sail in order to restore public tran-
quillity, proceeds to chastise tbs rebels aecordiag to the
dictates of necessity, therichts of sovereignty, said the
interests of her internal affairs. Is this state of things.
It wash' be highly inconvenient to withdraw the Odo-
m troops from Walachia and Moldavia, andio eppoint
and send Princes thither; for those revisers would
then bowies an asylam and refuge for traitors sad robbers.
tionever this may be, it would appear that the end of
Hauls, le motet up this pratension, is to obtain the

n•ri" wit siesta the Sublime Porte, is inlets (sod
s clear as the day) with every species of laeoave-
niesee, both as it touches upon civil or national rel.-
sr as it concerns those of 'swami of religion. It is

mood of the Sublime Porte, lead nolo to' disturb that
tranquillity which It is so desirable ID establish. and to
Weeds her authority and right..
The Sublime Pm* hastens. then. sincerely to declare
to her allies who wish for general tranquillity. and who
recognise as jest, the obvious wawa for which she do.

Bat on the point of evacuating the two prisripalillYs,
and of appointiag there two Princes aireeb, N she Drools

of Walachia sad Moldavia, it ie impossible at

unsatisfied that there is ootbing to ha op/rebottled 64s
their part—to name two individuals as ?daps@ asseger
them, or is confide to them the adaisistrallse of we
rich and fertile provinces, forming a part of his High.
ens's hereditary states.
Nobody can doubt abet the Court of Russia, by persist-
ing in her domaal noon this point—a point altogether
incompatible with the internal regulations of the
Sublime Porte(aod this is also as clear asdal,) pursues a
course contrary to the rights of nations and of go-

r it is possible, then, in the last resort to modify this
affair after the following manner :—to wit, that anti! the
rebellion ceases, the Sabha» Porte shall retain posses-
sion of the two provinces by °Seers whom she has there
established, witb such a number of troops only as may
suffice for their protection agaisat depredators, and with-
out the slightest molestation of the Rajahs; thst she
will relinquish to the Greeks those affairs which concern
the principalities, sad which are now directed by the
Uaimacaas, who are also Greeks; and that at present the
evacuation of the provinces and the nomination of Princes
be deferred.

As to the suh)ect of churches, which is one of the
points under discussion, there will be no objection as
soon as the revolt shall be subdued, to their repanstion
and re-eoustruetion, as far as the law will permit. is
whatever way they may have been iejored.
la what regards the free exercise of the Christi's re-
neon, the Sublime Porte, as in time past, besmear said
aught evilest the exercise. • I
The punichasent are confined to individuals who. in
open rebellion, refused the amnesty; and it Is known
that protection is extended to these who have not raised
the standard of revolt. As soon as rebellion shall cease.
;nishasent will cease. The greatest care is shown, as
rrnerly, to distinguish the innocent from the guilty,
'veal* gm extent that (although it is well known the
coaspiracris general) those Greeks are protected as for..
newly whit have not actaally raised the standard of re.
volt. Allthis being generally known. and your Pacer-
leney agreeing as to the truth of the facts, it is superflu-
ous here to repeat them.
It would inspire pleasure to think that, as all the
friends of the Sublime Porte, listening with a spirit of
moderation to her just complaints on the points above-
mentioned, which she has proved to be founded in jus-
tice, and conformable to national rights, equity, and
truth, avow such without hesitation; so the Court of
Russia, on her part, will observe what is due to right
and justice.
In this hope, the Sublime Porte prays the Court of '
England, erhuse rood-will towards both parties cannot
he &shad. that isileerting all the means wkleb sincere
friendship and jambe require, she would employ her
good Daces to semi% the way to a final arrangement
of the differences existinbetwere the Stabilise Porte
and the Court of Russia. With this object the present
Note bee bees drawn up and transmitted to your Excel-
lency the Ambassador of England.
