Manifesto Of tho Emperor Of Russia
BY the grace of God, we, Nicholas
the LIST, emperor and autocrat Of all the
Russias, &c., &C., SC.
We make known (what follows,) Il
and well beloved subjects, that our glo.
rious predecessorshave yowed,o defend
the Orthodox Faith.
From the instant at which it pleased
Divine Providence 10 transmit TO US The
hereditary throne, the observance o
those sacred duties which are insepara'
ble from it, has constantly been the OBJ
isct Of our cares and our solicitude.-
Based on the glorious treaty Of Kainar'
dgi, confirmed by the solemn agree
mpnts, concluded afterwards with the
Ottoman Porte, these cares, and this So
licitude have always been directed 10
the security Of the rights Of the Ortho-
dox Church.
But, 10 our deep affection, in spite
Of oil our efforts 10 defend the integrity
OF the rights and privileges Of our Or
thodox Church, in these lasttimes, nu
merous arbitrary acts Of the Ottoman
government have prejudiced these right:
and were at last threatening TO destroy
completely the whole order Of things
sanctioned for ages, and SO dear to the
Orthodox Faith.
Our efforts to prevent the Pope from
such acts remained fruitless, and even
the solemn promise which the Sultan
had given, on that occasion, was soon
violated.
After having exhausted all the modes
of persuasion, and all the means Of OBJ
tain,ns, in a friendly manner, the salts.
faction due to our just claims, we have
Judged it indispensable to make oul
troops enter the Danubian principalities
for the purpose Of showing The Porte
to what consequence its obstinacy may
conduct. However, even at present
our intention is not to commence war
by the occupation Of the prlncipalities
we wish TO have in our hands a pledge
which may answer US in every state o
the case for the re-establishment Of oul
rights. We do not seek conquests
Russia has no need Of them. We ash
that It may be satisfied in regard 10
Legitimate right SO openly iniringed.-
We are ready even now, to stop thu
movement of our troops, il the Otto
man Porte pledges itself to observe re
ligionsly the integrity of the privileges
Of the Orthodox Church. But, il OBJ
sinacy aud blindness are absolutely
ben. upon the contrary, then calling
God to our aid, we will refer 10 Hin
the decision of our difference, and full
of hope in His omnipotent hand, we
will march 10 the defence OIL the Ortho'
dox Faith.
