the Sublime Porte and the powers in f,iendship
win II, have been entered into with the Monarch
and Ministers OF these Powers only; and consider.
iag the obligation oil every independent Power TO
govern Its subjects itself, the Sublime Porte ha,
not Jailed TO address to some friendly Courts com
plants respecting the suecOors afforded to the in.
surgeuts. The only answer made TO those repte-
sensations has been, TO give to Vaccinations tend
ing 10 suovert laws end treaties, the Specification
oil h6sry; and to interpret proceedings contrary TO
existing engagements by the expression ofnet,fra-
Itty; alleging the insuifciency of mesns for res
tsainins the people.
Setting aside the want OF reciprocal security,
which must finally result from such stale of
things, TO the SUBJECTS of the respective Powers.
the Sublime Porte cannot allow such transactions
to pass silently. Accordingly, the Porte has me-
yer omitted TO reply TO the different pretensions
advanced, BY appealing TO the Justice and the e
qu'ty oil Inc powers who are it's friends, by often
eit-' ating complaints respecting the assistance az
iorded to the insurgents, and by giving the ne
ceseafy answers IN the course of co,nn,unca
lions with Its friends In fine, 4 mediation has
at last been proposed. The fact however is
mat an answer resi cted one single otiec, can
neither lie changed by the process of time, nor by
the innovation OF expressions. The repiy which
the Sublime Porte gave at the b-eipn,ng will al
ways be the ssmei namely, that ,.hch it has reit-
eraled IN The lace OF the whole world, and which
isln the las, result its sentiment on the position of
affairs
~"SSS VIM uc informed OF the circumstances
sha the details OF events ignorant, that at
the commencement OF the in-urrection some
ministers \ friendly Courts, resident at the Sub.
iime Porte, offered elective assistsnce la punish
inS the rebels. As, however, this offer red TO
an aUsir which came exclusively within tue resoI,
OF The Sublime Porte. IN pursuance OK important
considerations, Both with regaid to the present
and the future, the Porte confined itself in reply
ing, that To ugh such oFer had for its object 20
give aid TO the Ottoman Government, it would
never permit foreign interference. What is more,
"Ae' 'he Ambassador Of friendly Power, at the
period oil his Journey TO the Congress of Verona,
catered into explanations III conferences with the
ottoman Minister on the proposed mediation the
sublime Forte declared In the most uneCuiyucaI
Gianner that such proposition could not be lis
'ehed 20; re,eaiing every time that the subject was
resumed the assurance that political national and
religious considerations, rendered such refusal in
dispensable.

termination exclusively by he Porte itself; that NO
other Power was to interfere in the seoueI; and
that 1t ever any one TO interfere all the o,h

declaration having served as the basis for the re-.

question respecting this affair, which the SuIin,s
ore 10 entitled 10 consider completely and ra-
uic'iy atjus,eJ. Nevertheless, the Porte still
considers itself authorised here to add the foIIo,
ing observations In support OF its aatecedent as-
