| irt3nded tofulhl: Itrefers to her intrigues
with Persia-charges her with violating
her pledge to the SerWans, and her guar
antee to the Provinces of Moldavia and
Wallachia. An amnesty was to be grant
ed to the Servians; instead of which the
Turks invaded their territory, and made a
dreadful massacre. The privileges of the
Principalities were to be guaranteed; in
stead of which a system was established Of
the most sweeping plumber. The incur
sions of the Turks inhabiting the left bank
ofthe Kuban were encouraged. Yet Rus
STA, during all these provocations only de-
sired to instil moderate and Just principles
into the conduct of the Porte. She disap-
proved the enterprise of Prince Ypsilanti,
but required that the innocent should not
be COMPOUNDED with the guilty. These re-
QUESTIONS were rejected, and the christians
were made the victims of indiscriminate
cruelty and rage.
The patience of the Emperor Alexander
was at length wearied, and in October 1925
he transmitted an energetic remonsuance
to the Porte. His lamented death did not
produce any difference in the moderate
policy of Russia. His successor rod in
the same steps, and, instead of taking adj
vantage of the revolt oCthe Greeks, endeav-
Ored to mediate between them and the Porte.
In conjunction with his ally England, he
signed the Protocol of the 4th of April, and
subsequently, in conjunction with England
and France the treaty ofthe 9th July. The
Emperor appeals to the article of that trea-
ty, in proof of the disinterested nature of
his intentions. He speaks of the breach
of faith by the Ottoman General, which
occasioned the affair of Navarino. His
Court, even, did notinduce him to abandon
his wish for peace. The Manifesto of the
Doth Dec, was considered by him as high
ly insulting. He therefore declares war
and states its objects to be to compel Tur-
key to pay all the expenses Of the war, and
indemnify his subjects for all the losses
they have sustained.
To enforce the due and effectual observ-
ance of the treaties which Turkey has vi
olated.
To secure the inYiolable liberty of the
Black Sea, and the free navigation Of the
BosphOrus.
He disayows any ambitious designs in
going to war, and declares hls~iLtention to
abide by the treaty of the 9th July.
Such is the substance of this most inn
portant state paper But while the EN-
peror is drawing the sword, he points out
the means by which the Porte may yet avert
the blow.

tanned in the second edition of the New

Mr.. Clay has published a supplement,
containing much and irresistible vindicato-
ny evidence, received since the period of
his Address to the Public. He proves by
many Witnesses, scattered along the whole
line of Gen. Jackson's route, from Wash
ington to the Hermitage, in March 1925,
that the General in all places, and compa-
MES, spoke loudly of bargain and corrup-
ton, and not less loudly, of his own incor-
ruptbihtyl He said the people had been
cheated oftheir President, g. that he could
have been President if he had listened to
corrupt overturesl The General said in
his Beverly letter, 1.-THE origin-the begin
ming ofthis matter, the charge ofbargain,7
was at my own house and freside, where
surely 4 freeman may speak on public top
les, without having ascribed to him i'm
proper designs" The Generals RIGHT to
speak was undeniable, but the point is,
ought he to have laid and limited the origin
of his charges to his own freside, when in
truth, from the time of his leaving Wash
ington, he spoke of the "bargain" every
where. That is the rub.
