But even. with these views would rather have
surrendered myself TO my deadliest enemy Than to
cause any difficulties TO the Turkish Government
whose situation we'll knew how TO appreciate,
and therefore did not niFHde on the Turkish iefri
tories without previously inqniriBg whsther1 and

We received the assurance that we were wei.

bis Majesty, the Padisha who would rather sacri,
flee $4,000 men of his own subjects than allow one
hair Of our heads to be injured.
1t was only upon this assurance that we passed
into the Turkish territory and, according to the
generous assurance, wa were received and tended
on our journey, received in Widdin as the SHltans
guests, and treated Hospitality during four weeks,

But fresh letter, from his Majesty the Gar
arrived in Constantipople, and Us consequence was
the suggestioR sent 70 us by an express messenger
OF the Turkish Government, that the Poles aud

mir BathiaHy, Minister OF Foreign Affairs of Hun
gary under my government, and the Generals Mes
saros and Peftzel TALL present here,) would be sur
rendered unless we chose to ahure the faith of our
toFetatheTs IN the religiontof Christ, and become
MUssulmans. And thus five thousand Christians
are placed in the terrible alternative either Of facing
the scafold, or Of purchasing their lives by aban
dOnlng their faith. So low is already fallen the
once mighty Turkey, that she can devise no other
means to answer or evade the demands of Russia.
Words fail me to qualify these astonishing sHg-
gestions, such as never have been made vet TO the
fallen chief Of generous nation, and could hardly
have been expected in the nineteenth century.
