From the London Courier, JuiyIS
We have received document which
may be considered as an official exposition
Of The system and conduct Of Russia with
respect In her differences with Turkey. Ii
| Is AZ follows:
HAMBuRaH, July a." The policy ofthc
Russian Court is that of peace, because Il
war in the East would lead TO consequences
the extent of which il is Impossible TO fore
see, and Il permanent state of peace,
alone. can insure the welfare Of Europe
and the happiness OF nations. Russia
| hopes 10 recover, without arms, war, and
| bloodshed the rights founded on treaties
which have been lost during the Greek in
surrection. As the demands of Russia pc
cniarly regarded the security of HE rights
of Christian subjects in theTnrkish States,
| there can he no question raised about dis
engaging itself from the Greek cause. Had
the Porte respected those rights, made a
war only On the rebels, and not coniounded
the innocent with the guilty. a breach be-
tween the two Powers would never have
| taken place.
| The great heart of the Emperor COM
prehends every thing that humanity re-
fuires and that religion commands. A de
clnration Of war, instead of protecting the
Greeks, would have been the signal for a
vast massacre. TO spare suffering hnnIa-
nity, torrents of innocent blood, sti0e the
| srcds Of dlsmIon aud nidsummcr-standin
between the Powers, Ia destroy the germ
| of new wars, Ia oitain in peace the result
| of war, was the sole, the generous, object
Of the Russian Cabinet. This was the ten
| denCy ofthc pacific means, ofthc proposals
Of IN, dlation, supported by powerful mi
| litary force moderation alone could lad
to the attainment of this object, and every
things gives reason to hope, that we
! shall enjoy the fruits OF these cXcrtjons.
The high minded Alexander, therefore,
will not di.cngage himself from The cause Of
the Greeks, bu! forever secure them by
guarantee, what humanity and religion
command, what right and treaties require,
! ~ soon rs the direct negotiations now pre-
airing at Vienna have begun. II is 10 hr
expected that the other powers will second
| liz amicable intentions, and with the bar
mony that now exists between all the
courts, ii cannot be doubted lhat this de
| sirable object will be attained if the Diyan
remains faithful 70 the disposition which it
! h 9 lately sheWn. II is clear that the thrca-
tenng attitude Of it, neighbours, the encr-
| gctic language of the nedia;0rs, and above
al the union and harmony ot all the Euro
pean powers, have produced a great change
IN its way Of thipking. The troops in Mol
da,a and Nallacha, whatever NAV be
publicly reported on the subject, will be
withdrawn. 4 declaration OF amnesty in
favor of the Greeks is likewise tn be expec-
ed as soon as they have laid dnwn their
arms. We have reason to believe thai
preliminary steps to this end are already
taken.
The moderation and magnanimty which
characterize the policy of the Emperor,
are recognized and appreciated by all diplo-
matte characters who are vcrscd in politi-
cal principles. Sound policy is incontes-
tiby moderation for tIys cardinal virtue
includes all others; ii tngcndcrs esteem
and confidence, from which proceed
peace abroad and happiness nj home.
