MANIFESTO OF THE GEAR NIcHoLAs-"We,
Nicholas the First, DC, I'VE have already in
formed our beloved and faithful subjects of the
progress of our disagreements with the Ottoman
Porte.
"Since then, although hostities have com.
menced, we have not ceased sincerely to wish,
as we still wish, the cessation of bloodshed-
We even entertained the hope that reflection
and time would convince the Turkish Govern
ment of its misconceptions engendered by treach-
erous instigators, in which our just demands,
founded on treaties, have been represented as
attempts at its independence, and yelling inten-
tions Of aggrandizement Vain, however, have
been our expectations, so far.
"The English and French Governments have
sided with Turkey, and the appearance of the
combined fleets at Constantinope, served as a
further incentive TO its obstinacy; and now, both
the Western Powers, without previously delar-
ing war, have sent their fleets into the Black Sea
proclaiming their intention to protect the Turks
and impede the free navigation of our vessels
OF war for the defence of our coasts. After so
unheard of course among civilized nations, we
recalled our embassies from England and France
and have broken off all political intercourse with
those powers
"Thus, England and France have sided with
the enemies of Christianity against Russia, who
is combating for the Orthodox faith
"But Russia will not betray her holy calling
and if enemies infringe our frontiers, we are
ready to meet them with the frmness beoueath.
ed to us by our forefathers Are we not the
same Russian nation, of whose exploits the
memorable events of 1912 bear witness?
May the Almighty assist us to prove this by
deeds. With this hope, combating for our per-
secuted brethren, followers of the faith of Christ
with one accord let all Russia exclaim, % Lord,
onr Kedeemer whom shall we fear! May God
be glorfed and his enemies be scattered
