would close the correspondence but that was posi-
BILE that the fresh despatch which had brought to hs
call for some fresh observations the part Of his
Majesty.
The only passage in the enclosed paper to which Count
Nesselrode DESTROYS of drawing my attention, was
that in which an observation is made respecting the
treatment Of the Christian population, as described BY
English or by Russian agents.
remarked in reply that the point was the less mate

had been made aware) DESTROYS the Imperial Cab-
net could be that effort should be wanting the part
Of the Porte to remove and of complaint
which could be made in justice by the Suan's Christian
subjects
Your lordshp viii perhaps allow to observe that
supposng the present crises in Turkish affairs to pass
over intimaton is made in the enclosed paper which,
If taken up and embodied in joint resolution by all the
great Powers might possibly be the of long avert
ing a catastrophe which, happen when it may will pro-
batly have disastrous consequences to those to
whom it may be considered the most profitable.

the cruees committed by the Turks in Bosnia forced
hundreds of Christian families to seek refuge in Austria
In other respects without wishing this occasion to
enter upon discussion to the symptoms Of decay
or the greater eat or less degree Of vitality which It, inter-
nal constitution may retain, the Emperor will readily
agree that the best means of uphodng the duration Of
the Turkish is not to harass 1t by overbearng
emands, supported in humiliating to its inde
pendence and its dignity His Majesty is disposed, as he
has BEEN to act this system, with the clear
understanding however, that the rule of conduct
shall be observed without distinction, and unanimously
by each Of the great Powers ana that of them shall
AXE advantage at the weakness of the Porte to obtain
concessions which might turn to the prejudice Of
he others. THE principle being laid down, the EN-
peror declares that he is ready to labor in concert with
England, at the common work of prolongng the exist
Of the Turkish empire, setting aside all Of
alarm the subject of its dissolution. He readily
ceps the evidence offered by the British Cabinet Of
tire confidence in the uprghtness of his sentiments
the hope that this basis his alliance with England
cannot fail to become stronger.
