Court OF Russia its ueiglhor, as a sincere and
KIND friend whose sentiments admitted of no
doubt, llatters itself that the good understand
ing existing between his IIighness and his I'm
perIal Majesty OF all the Russias will he OF eter-
nal duration, and that Russia will lend a e..
vorable ear to the official explanations and
disclosures, repeated several times onthe above
SUBJECTS. As to the provinces Of Wallachia
and Moldavia, the desires of the Sublime Porte
are limited to deliverancc of them from the
brigands who Cypress them, in order that re-
pose aud tranquility may be re-established in
them and although the Ottoman troops des
patched into those provinces have thank God
chastscd the rebels that infested them, thes..
countries are not yet entirely cleared. In viz
tue OF treaties the sublime Porte has demand
ed that the former Prince of Moldavia, the per
fidious Michael, his partisans, and the persons
belonging 70 him, who have all fed, should be
restored and delivered up to tho Government
but the Ambassador has signified in one of his
notes previously presented, to which he has
not yet received an answer, that the Court of
Russia by an act of generosity has taken these
iuSltves Under her protection. But among
political states the treaties and stipuatons
winch affect either Government are one thing.
and personal generosity another No one is
ignorant that Government cannot in order
generosity, violate the stipuations of treaty
which it has concluded with another Govern
ment. The best act of generosity which con
tractlng towers can perform, is to fulfil their
treaties and Il punctual observance of them

Ihe delivery of the fugitives is considered br
the Sublime Porte as an essential point towards
the re-establlshmcnt ofthat order and Tranquil
lIty which are the object of all its efforts. The
troubles which agitate the victorious Mussul-
man race are solely caused by the fight and the
non-surrcnder of these individuals. The same
reasons increase the disgust which the Sub
lime Porte justly entertans towards the Greck
nation. On the other hand, these refugees
being delivered up and restored in virtue of
treaties, the az / would serve rs an examine fn
the Princes whom the Sublime Porte will

up to the Sublime Porte, in the view of H..

II, IN presence of the Universe the lust de-
mansis and legitimate complaints OF the Sub
lime Forte on onc hand, as concerns the re-
fngees, and The line Of conduct pursued for
some time past by Strogonof, were thrown
INTO the balance OF rectituie and Justice and,
on the other, the ili-foundcd complaints which
inns Minister has PIT forward, il is clear that
neither would be found as reproach upon the
sublime Porte, and that all the wrong would
fall upon the Ambassador. 1t is, therefore. TO
represent once more the real state of things
To the Ambassador, our friend, that the present
note is sent him."
