Dreciated ny the Sublime Porte, aud sunnor,cd
by tue Emperor Alexander in the most active
manner, ana his generous sentiments have ena-
blcd number OF difficulties to be surmounted
winch, ssundcr other auspices, would have been
lnsurihoentabie. at length, it is hoped that
tue desireu OBJECT Will be obtained and il is witt,
lively satisfaction that the Court of on,ion ron,
icrs homage 10 the honorable sentiments of the
Divan. IL may now be hoped that the Porte
convinced OF the disntcrestednrss of the advice
always gwen by England, recalling the pas,
ana throwing forwards ITS view TO the future will
make no difficulty iii follow inw-in order TO re-.
move all its disputes with Russia-the counsc,
ut an old friend and ally who has never conscn-
ted, and Will never consent, TO be the means of
communicating any proposition which could in
J'iro .hc rights the Interests, the ,lfo.,i,v or
independence of tise Ottoman empire. There
are two subjects of contenti0r between Russia
aud the Porte ono has lis Source i'm questions
winch are connected with navigation and com
nerce, and the other i; dcrival from political
events The former has been fortunately SET
tied by the Treaty concluded i'm Sc fenher
1898, between the Ottoman Nfnis:sy and the
English Ambassador; and the Court of LONDON
rs uniouh'ciiv lar from believing that the sub.
lime Porte viii refuse to execute promises made
wuh sincerity and COOL faith. The Emperor of
Russia. on ms part, ALWAYS disposed to attend To
the conciiiat"ry stops oftho Porte always read,
to listen to the principles ofjustice, from which
he has never departed, and constantly animated
with the desire of rc-estabshing on n firm basis
relations ofarnity with the Sublime Porte has
made no difficulty Of approving the result of the
treaty which England and her Allies communal

Ills Imperial Majesty has given the sultan and
the Ottoman nation, AMI all Europe, another
proof OF the stability of the wise and noble prin
clplcs Which are the basis of his political con-
duct; IT the Diyan had taken single stem more
to reconcile Turkey with Russia-if i'm place of
contcntng itself will, not satisfying Russia. but
IN one respect it lsad pfofiitel by the iavourabl
moment Tor putting end to the subjects III
dispute; on the second point (those which arc
connected with polite al eycuts,) there can h..
no doubt that it would have received still more
certain proofs eftc good will of the Emperor
| In piac" OF sending temporary agent appoint
| Ell only to take care of commercial affairs his
| Majesty world have sent an accredited Minis
ter to tue Sublime Porte, charged with the ho-
nourable mission of rc-estahli,liing friendship
between the two Powers on an t.,nourable ba
SIS. 1T was even in tire power of the Sublime
rorte to have arrived speedily at this end, which
ITS friends wish with as much artiour as is EN-
lect. In comparing what has with what might
nave happened, it appears that it still depends
| upon the will OF the Divan to ensure success TO
the efforts OF the CoErt Of London and its Allies
May its will be directed BY wisdom--may It be
the means ofobtaining, and the guarantee of
result which is desired by all Europe. Toen-
sure TO the Porte and its friend, the fruit of so
many efforts and sacrifices, it is only necessary
for 1t to take measure, Which is already
hxt r<,ofi a. 4
interests OF the Porte tself;--a measure of which,
the advantages will be greater or less in pro-
portion as 1t is promptly executed or delayed-
| measure which, in any case, the Sublime Porte
cannot neglect, If 1t is aI,irnatcd with sincere
desire ofreconcing itself with its most power
fnl neighbor--if ii attaches any value to the re-
tabishlns OF its former political relations with
i'ussia; hnaliyr II 1t prefers certain advantages
10 the dangerous alternatives of fortune The
undersigned has received orders to insist ON the
execution OF THIS 'ne S'urc; liz consequence he
iias The homo 10 invite the Sublime Porte i'm the
name OF his own Court, in the name of Russia,
and OF all the Powers Interested in The preser-
Vation oil peace; finally to agree, and without III
terror delay 10 place tie principalities of Media
via ana Waiiactia III The same situation in all
respecS as they were before the disturbances
ni 1871, and 10 limit tie number of its troops in
these provinces for their presence is evidently
contrary To the treaties and engagements On.
tered ii'to by TIC Ottoman Ministry 10 the ori.
nary number in time OF peace. The demand
which the undersigned makes in the name of
'hese illlstrious Sovereigns, is founded, first on
The rights and duties of tue Court of russia
which otgh to make this demand; secondIy. on
the rights and engagements of his Britannia
Majesty and his Allies, who are bound TO sup
port il; thirdly, on the consideration of the adj
vanfages which the Sublime Porte will itsel
derive from the frank and sincere execution of
this measure; forrtliy, on The consideration OF
the injuries and dangers, which will infallibIy
be the result Of a refusal or of a cielay.n
