CIRCULAR TO THE EUROPEAN POWERS.
The Gar has addressed Circular to the
European Powers, the substance Of which is
rs follows:
"Aiter referring TO the declaration and
its accompanying documents, the Circular
earnestly calls upon the Allies of Russia to
consider with attention and impartiality the
motives of this decisive measure it conf
IDENTITY appeals TO them for the recognition
of the justice of her cause, and expresses u
hope that the Allied Governments viii res
pectiYely aVow their public appreciation Of
the conduct of the Courts OF St. Peters
burg.
"The Circular next refers to the opinion
already expressed by all the Allies of Rus
STA, that she had an incontestahle right to
declare war against the Porte and, as an
| additional proof of her pacific views, details
her past and present conduct on the subject
of the Treaty Of London. The Circular
then Indignantly refers to the alarms pro-
mulgated by 'malvolence or fear respect
ing the general peace of Europe, and the
| pretended ambitious views Of Russia. 1t
premptorily declares that the sole wish
Of his Imperial Majesty is, that the Treaties
/ between Russia and the Porte may be re-
neWed in such manner, as to be complete
ly efficacious, and to include in themselves
a security for their being rigidly observed
and that the liberty of the navigation of the
Bosphorus, and the commerce of the Black
| Sea, may be henceforward inviolable. The
Emperor distinctly ayows his intention that
the Porte shall indemnify Russia for the ex-
/ penses OF the war, and Russian subjects for
the losses which they have sustained; but
ne declares, with no less distinctnesS, that
he entertains no ambitious views-that he
has no wish to diminish the Ottoman power,
nor will he require any sacrifice on the
part OF Turkey, except in the spirit Of equi-
ty and moderation. The Circular, as far
Their proof of the real designs of Russia, al
ludes to the letter sent to the Grand Vizier
which, 1t says, completely demonstrates
that It is entirely in the power of Turkey tc
conclude peace with Russia and that if, or
the one hand, Russia will not suffer nego-
tlatlon to be so prolonged as to lose the adj
vantage of an entire campaign, yet, on the
other, her sole thought is how best to oper
the means of a reconciliation at once speedy
and durable.
