The following is q translation of
OMAR PAsHA's LETTER TO rEIscE GoRrscHAKorr
MONSIEUR LIE GENERAL-lt is, bv the
order OF my government that l have the
honor to address this letter to your Excel
lency.
Whilst .he Sublime Porte exhausted all
all means Of Cancellation to maintain a,
once peace and It's own independence, the
Court OF Russia has not ceased TO raise
difficulties in the way of any such settle
ment, and has ended with the violation Of
treaties-invading the two Prncipalities of
Moldavia and Wallachia, integral parts of
the Ottoman Empire.
1rue to It's pacific system, the Porte
instead Of exercising its right to make
reprlsalS, confined itself even then to pro-
testing, and did not deviate from the wav
that might lead to an arrangement.
Russia, on the contrary, far from evinc-
ing corresponding sentiments, has ended
by rejecting the proposals recommended
oy the august medlatlng courts, proposals
which were alike necessary to tbe honor
and the security Of the Porte.
There only remains to the latter the
indispensable necessity Of war. But as
the invasion of the Principalities and the
violation OF treaties which have attended
it, are the veritable causes of war, the
Sublime Porte, as last expression of its
pacific sentiments, proposes to your Excel
lency by my intervention, the evacuation
Of the two provinces, and grants for your
ceclslon term offifteen days to date from
the receipts Of this letter If, within this
interval, negative answer shall reach me
from your Excellency, the commencement
ct hostilities will be, the. natural conse
quence.
While have the honor 10 make the in
tlmatlon to your Excellen2y, embrace the
opportunity to offer the assurance of INV
hiSm eSteSii' (olgned,) OMAR.

pali:les until the Porte shall have given tc
fhe Gear the moral satisfaction he demands

evacuate the Principalities immediately
whatever the time or the season. IfIam

fend myself, (conine myself to the defen.
