circumstances TO which my noble friend he's alluded,

announced by The Russian government. He sent in
note saying that the late Minister having been the
instrument by whose conduct the violation Of the pro
mixes given by the Sultan to the Emperor had &c
cured he was determined not to intrnst any ncgota-
tons shIOugb that channel. When Prince Mensahi-
kofi went to the Sultan therefore, he requested that
the correspondence should be sent through the Grand
V,zier, Of any other Minister. Prince Menschkoi
did not cali upon Fuad Efsndi, and he was dis

comply with that request, and when, few days

belief that had results would have folio Sed had it

that at that moment we did not think IL necessary
