ANOTHER MANIFESTO OF RUSSIA.

| ANOTHER MANIFESTO OF RUSSIA.
In Count NEssRIRoDE's despatch Baron MErENpoRFF
dated September he says with regard to the altera
tons made in the Vienna Note by the Ottoman Porte that
she had made them the subject of special remark in
another despatch" This despatch is published in tho
London Times as translated from the Ze and is fol
lSggs:
Examination of The Three Alterations made By the Ottoman
| Porte IN the 4astrida Note.
l. In the Vienna Note it stands " ST toute epoque
les Empereurs de Russe ont emogne eur active solicit
tude pour lie mainten des immunites ct privileges :.
lise Orthodoxe Grecque dams empirc o.on,an les sui
tans sont jamais refuses nonsacrer do nonye,
| par DIES actes soennels."
This passage has oeen altered as follows: 81 toute
epoque les mpereurs de Russe ont temoigne eur active
soicitude pour lie cutie ct rEgise Orhodoxe Grecque
lac Suans n ont amais cesse de WELLER au mantien es
mmunes ct privileges de cutie ct de cette egse dams
Pempre Ottoman, ct de les de nouveau &c.
! The words !" dams pempire Ottoman well lie
manten des immunites ct privileges &C. struck
and inserted further down. and applied exclusively in
connection with the Sutans This deprives the
muated passage of all meaning, of oil sense for
calls in question the active soctude Of sovereigns
of Russia for the faith which they themselves profess and
which is that also Of their subjects What required
to be recognised was that from time mmemural active
soctude had been shown by Russia for her goniss
in Turkey well for the maintenance Of their relig
mmunities and that the Ottoman Empire is resolved
have regard to this socude and leave those priy-
leges intact
The present given to the phrase is so much the
less admissible as in the following expression
ascrbed to the Suans than soliciude for tie Ortho
dox worship 1t is asserted that they have ceased
to watch the preservation Of these immunes and
privileges and to establish and confirm the by So
emn acts But it is the very Of what is here
serted which, has of late years taken place than
once and particularly in the of the Holy Shrines
has compelled to seek prevention for the future by
STIMULATING for a definite guarantee If we allow
ourselves to acknowledge that the Ottoman Government
has neye cnas o of he
privileges of the Greek Church. what goes with the
plants that have preferred against ii We should,
by doing admit that we have no just ground for
plant; that the mission of Prince Menschikof
called for that in word the note that is here adj
dressed to us is perfectly superauous.
2. The omissions and additions Of words, which are
here made with evident aectaton clearly intended
deprive the treaty of Kainar of all force while put
ting the semblance of Strengthening it,
In the original wording Of the note, drawn up in
Vienna, it said Fdee Ia lettre resprt des
stipulation des raites dc Kainar ct Adrianopo rea-
tyes de la protection du cutie Chreen lie Sultan regarde
CONNIE eant de honneur de preserver de toute
atteinte les immuntes ct privileges accOrdes lEg
lse 0rthodoxe."
The version which derives the maintenance of the i'm
muntes from the spirit of the treaty from the gene
raj principle laid down in the twelfth article, conceded
with the view that have put forward and still do put
forward; for, in opinion the promise to protect
form Of worship and its churches includes the maintenance
Of the immuntes which they possess These two in
separable things. This version, which originally ap
alteration in Paris and London and if did not at the
time make any objection to it, did not omit TO do so
because we deceived ourselves to the meaning Of this
alteration.
We noticed well enough the distinction that was drawn
between two points which, in eyes, nseparaby
connected with each other but this distinction glanced
at in such delicate that in the spirit Of conci
alton, and in the desire to come as soon possible TO
final solution could accept this version, and
thenceforward look on il Interchangeable. These
yes for compliance cannot be extended to the alter
InIl IL a.
stantinople The line Of distinction has been drawnmuch
too sharply for to be able to accept it without denying
every thing that we have said and written
The mention Of the treaty Of Kannrd becomes super
Huous and its confirmation without object from the
moment that the general principle be applied
the maintenance Of the religious immuntes Of that form
Of worship For this purpose it that the words Ia
etre Il Pe7ra were suppressed without any necessity
whatever is laid the fact that protection Of
the Christian faith takes place the hands Of the Porte
if put forward any pretension ourselves to
else this protection in the Sultans States and the
time il is omitted TO be recited that according
the Of the treaty, this protection is promise made
by thelSultsn obligation he has taken himself il
would look as il II intended throw a doubt upon
the right which possess watch over the punctua
fu6lment Of this promise.
3. The alteration that has been made in this passage
Of the Austrian note is particularly nadmissible.
The Ottoman Government would by this only blind
itself allow the Orthodox Church TO participate such
advantage it accords TO those other Christian
mites which subjects OF the Porte But in these
communities-no matter whether Catholic other
should not be composed Of native Bayahs but Of foreign
clergy aity land this is the case with nearly all the
converts hospitals seminaries and bishoprcs Of the
Latin form Of worship in Turkey and it should
please the Porte to grant 10 these establishments fresh
religious advantages and privileges, the orthodox
munes according 10 the words which IL is endeav
ored introduce into the note, would be entitled
lay claim to similar advantages, would Russia have
the right to intercede for them.
The evil intentions Of the Ministers Of the Porte will
DO evident if take example, possible
riarch at Jerusalem should receive certain privileges
from the Porte which the Greek Patriarch does enjoy
Every reclamation on the part Of the latter would then
be rejected, because he is subject OF the Porte.
The same objection would be made by the Ottoman
Ministry with reference to the Catholic establishments in
Palestine whenever subsequently, to the dcrmep Of the
native community any new privilege should be conferred
on them which is not mentioned in the last frman.
ANOTHER MANIFESTO FROM THE SULTAN.
The Turkish Government has also issued another mani
festo dated September 9Th Of which the following the
official translation:
We have already notified to the nation that the Gov
ernmen Of his Majesty the Sultan had protested in the
usual form against the Russian invasion of the Moldo
Waachian prncpalities and had Mt the time sub
mitted to the Great Powers memorandum settling forth
all the circumstances Of this act.
More lately the Governments Of England France, AUS
the Governments in adverse position, drew up project
Of arrangement and submitted i; to them
The Of the acccptaon by his Majesty the emperor
OF Russia reached Belgrade by telegraph and thence was
forwarded by special messenger TO Constantnoplc
This agerness and socitude the pnt Of the great
Powers is mark Of their wclknown friendship towards
