His Majesty desired further to observe that he could
not doubt that her Maesys Government had taken too
favorable view Of the state of the Christian population
in Turkey. The Sultan might have intended to better
their condition. might have given orders in that sense
but he quite certain that his commands had not been
attended to.
understood to receive very reports Of what
passes in Turkey the Emperor replied with considerable
animation that he called this fact in question that he
believed on the contrary that some of the English con-
suar agents incorrect in their reports He would
only refer to Bulgaria the greatest discomfort prevailed
there and his Majesty would affirm that, it not for
his continued efforts to repress the manifestation OF
feelings of the SORT the Bulgarans would time since
have been in insurrection
His Majesty proceeded to contrast the threatening a
tude which had been assumed by Count Lenngen with
the peaceable character of Prince Menschkof mssion
not however that he desired 10 blame the Emperor Of us-
tra noble prince scom he loucd sincerely and all irhose
Gpprorsd the difference existed in circumstances
and when Montenegro was threatened with utter deyas
tation the Emperor of Austria obliged to act with
energy His Majesty would, he said, have acted in the
same manner.
am desirous of remarkng here that part of the En-
perors observations were obvious, addressed to
personally, and were intended as reply rs well to an
alluson which had made to religious intolerance IN
Tuscany as to my the Chancellor upon the
conduct Of the Austrian cabinet with regard to the late
confscatory measures in Lombardy
His Majesty after observing that according to the ac
counts just received hose Of the 29th ultimo little
no progress had been made towards adjustment OF diff
cules at Constannople said that as yet he had not
moved o ship battalion; that he had not done SO
from motives of consideration for the Sultan and from
economical motives; but that he would repeat that he
had intention of being trifed WITH and that II the
Turks did not yield to they would have to give
way to approach Of danger.

BY the dispatches just arrived that he had received intel
gence Of the landing at Pera of the French Ambassa
DOR who understood TO- be party to the arrange
ents about to be concluded The indirect answer how
ever returned by his Majesty and the expressions
which he used led to apprehend that this consdera
ton did not receive the attention Of which, in fairness it
appears to me deserving.

My LORD had the honor Of receiving your lordships
despatch marked secret and confidential Of the 9th in
stant which, in obedience to your lordshps ORDERS
communicated Count Nesserode the 10Th instant
His Exceency before the arrival Of this messenger,
had desired to for the purpose of communicating
to me paper which had been drawn by the Emperors
DESIRE and which to be considered answer to
your lordships despatch Of the 23d utimo.
This document, which beg to transmit in original,
was accordingly placed in my hands by the Chancellor
who observed that he had previously thought that it
would close the correspondence but that it was possible
that the fresh despatch which had brought his know
ledge might upon being laid before the Emperor call for
some fresh observations on the part of his Majesty
The only passage in the enclosed paper to which Count
Nesselrode was desirous 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
rial her Maiestys Government being las his Exceency
had been made aware as desirous the Imperial Cab
net could be that effort should be wanting the part
of the Porte any and every cause OF complaint
which could be made in justice by the Suans Christian
subjects.
Your lordshp will perhaps allow to observe that
suppesng the present crisis in Turkish affairs to pass
over intmation is made in the enclosed paper which,
if taken up and embodied in joint resolution by all the
great Powers might possibly be the means OF long avert
ing catastrophe which, happen when it may will pro-
baby have disastrous to those to whom
it may be considered the most profitable
Since the preceding part of this despatch written
the Chancellor has intimated to that the Emperor
being Of opinion that the paper which enclose, fol-
lowed up by the conversation which had the honor Of
holding with his Majesty the 1Sth may be considered
replying any points touched upon in your ordshp
despatch propose to offer any fresh observations
upon the subjects which have been under discussion
His Exceency does not conceal from his satisfaction
this resolution these subjects being as he remarked
Of delicate nature that there always objections

The Emperor has, with lively satisfaction, made him

maintenance Of the existing state of things in Turkey the
Emperor nevertheless cannot abstain from advertng to
special point which leads him to suppose that the nor
nation received by the British Government not alto
gether in accordance with 1t refers to the humani

Putting aside many other examples to the contrary Of
old date it is for oil that notorious that recently the
dreds Of christian families to seek refuge in Austria In
other respects without wishing this occasion to enter
upon discussion to the symptoms Of decay more or
less evident, presented by the Ottoman Power the
greater or less degree of vitality which its internal consh-
tuition may RETAIN the Emperor will readily agree that
the best Of uphodng the duration Of the Turkish
Government not to harass it by overbearng demands
supported in humating to its independence and
its dignity His Majesty disposed he has ever been,
however that the rule of conduct shall be Observed
without distinction, and unanimously by each Of the great
Powers and that none Of them shall take advantage of the
weakness the Porte to obtain from concessions which
might turn the prejudice of the others The principle
being laid down. the Emperor declares that he ready to
labor in concert with England at the work of

He readily accepts the evidence offered by the British
Cabinet Of entire confidence in the uprghtness Of his
timents and the hope that this basis his alliance with
England cannot fail to become stronger. I,
