Russian State paper wersexprsssy directed against t
rival preensions OF France In the question Of the Holy
Places.
| NJ DRoUYS DE LHUYs's memorandum is a document Of
great precision in argument and great moderation tone
The French Minister Of 1853 disposes Of the main ques
ton in dispute by quotation from memorandum from
Count de St. Priest the Ambassador Of France at Con-
stantinope from 1853 to 1885, which pertinent to
the matter now in dispute that shall transcribe the
passage:
80 The zeal Of our Kings said M de ST. Priest shas
been adorned with the title of protection of the Caho
lie faith in the Levan but that term is usory, and
serves to misead those who have examined the thing
The Sutans have had as an idea that the
hngs Of France thought themselves authorized to med
die with the religion Of the subjects Of the Porte No
Prlnceas was very well said long ago by the Marquis
de Bonnac at this embassy-no Prince will permit
another to mix himself with the religion his SUBJECTS
me Turks are as sensitive any other people this
point France which has always treated with the Porte
as friend never imposed that Power such inyidous
conditions and the first point Of my instructions
avoid giving umbrage to the Grand Segnor by stretch
ing those capulaons which concern religious matters
This quotation is douby significant for it demolishes
the claim OF Russia to the protection Of the Greek churc
founded upon analogy with that exercised by France
favor Of the Lans and it also shows that France pre-
pared to desist from the extreme exgences Of similar
nature which she had at moment put forward.
NJ DnouYS DE HUYs, however, has not hesitated to
state though in moderate language TINT the conclusion
Of separate treaty this subject between the Porte
and another Power without the participation Of France
would be an act ustfyng whatever reservation she might
adopt or even whatever threats she might her utter

discrimination to uphold in concert With this country,
those principles Of public law which are the strongest
bond Of national interest and Of the general peace.
