Ussr them, itsnnat BIZ w amicable action mani
tested hy any agreement with good and sincere
advice, and not by an interference founded upon
treaties to which no State could subscribe with
iout forfaiting its independence.
" The examination Of the reply Of the Cabinet |
of st. Petersburg Nj. le Baron, would not be
complete if I were not to remark that Count |
NesselrOde avoids with extreme care any allu- |
sioa To that Of all the passages of the protocol
Of the 9th Of April which is the most worthy Of |
his attention. and is the only one, in our opinion
of essential Importance, since it implies the
necessity OF an European revision of the ancient
relations between Russia and Turkey. France
and England, therefore, can not consent to o
suspension of hostilities upon vague assurances
given by Nj Nesseirode touching the pacific
disposition of the Cabinet of ST. Petersburg.
The sacrifices which the Allied Powers have
made are considerable; the object they have in
view is so important that they must not stopin
their progress until they are certain that they
shall not be compelled to recommence thu. war
The precise conditions upon which they WI
consent to peace depends too much upon circuni-
stances to allow Of being now pointed cut, and
in this respect they reserve their opinion AZ
all events, NJ. lie Baron, the Government OF HIS
Imperial Majesty desires nothing better than to
indicate now some of the guarantees which ap-
pear to it to be Indispensable to preserve Europe
against the early renewal of fresh troubles.
! These guarantees result even from the present
: position, which manifests the danger arising
j from the want Of them Thus Russia has pro
4 flied by the exclusive right of surveillance
+ which treaties conferred upon her in regard to
\ Moldavia and Wallachia, comforting sovereign
powers upon her to enter those provinces, as if
y they formed part of her own territory.
y The privileged position of Russia upon the
4 Black Sea has enabled her to found establish
ments there, and to employ naval force which.
without q counterpoise, forms q perpetual
menace against the Ottoman Empire.
The possession without control Of the princi-
pal mouth of the Danube by Russia has created
in the navigation of that great river moral and
material obstacles which affect the commerce of
every nation.
In short, the articles of the treaty of Kut-
chuck Kainardji relating to religious protec-
ton, become, by an abuse of their interpreta-
tion, the original cause Of the contest now ex-
listing in Turkey.
On all these points there are new regulations
to establish and important notifications to in
trodnce intothe status quo ante beiltem. 1t may
be said, think, that the common interest Of
Europe demands this;
i That the protectorate exercised up to this
moment BY the Imperial Court of Russia over
the Principalities Of Wallachia, Moldavia and
Servia cease for the future, and that the priv
iiegss granted by the Sultans to these pro-
vinces, as dependencies of their empire. by vir-
tue Of an agreement concluded with the Sublime
Porte, be placed under the collective guarantee
Of the powers
q That the Navigation of the Danube to its
mouths be freed from all restraint, and SUBJ
jected to the application of the principles es-
tablished by the acts Of the Congress of Vienna
8. That the treaty Of July IS, 1874, be re-
yised in concert by the high contracting powers,
with a view to establishing an European equi-
Abrium, and to limiting the power Of Russia in
the Black Sea. 5{.
4. That no power claim a right to exercise an
official protectorate over the subjects of the
Sublime Porte, to whatever sect they may be-
long, but that France, Austria, Great Britain,
Prussia, and Russia, shall lend their mutual
aid to obtain, in the initiative, from the Otto
man Government, respect for, and observance
Of, the religious privileges Of the different
Christian communities; and to turn to advan-
tage, in the reciprocal interests Of their coreli
gionisfs, the generous intentions manifested by
his Majesty the Sultan, without there resulting
any attempt to control the dignity and indepen-
dence Of his crown.
Shonld the conference meet, it will recognize,
i earnestly hope, that none Of the views have
just laid down are foreign to the protocol Of
April 3, and thatit was even difficult to confne
in more moderate limits the object ia recher-
chez which France, Austria, Great Britain and
Prussia have formally engaged themselves at
this present time to attain with respect to the
most suitable means Of consolidating the exis-
tence Of Turkey by linking it to the general
equilibrium Of Europe.
Recent Communications with the Baron de
Hubner enable me already to state that Count
Bouls opinion comedies with me, and that he
views as do the guarantee that Europe has a
right to demand from Russia, 50 that she may
not again be exposed to a renewal Of the same
complications.
Such is, NJ. lie Baron, the answer that the
Emperor has ordered me to make to the con-
tents Of the dispatch of Count Nesselrode. You
will forward copy of this answer to Count
Buol, and request him, If necessary, to assem-
BILE the Conference to hear it read.
4 In conclusion, the document emanating from
fhe Cabinet Of St. Petersburg makes no abso-
Lutte change in the actual position of things,
and, in the opinion of his Imperial Majesty,
only serves to point them out further. Since
Russia again communicates her intentions in a
practical and positive manner, France and Eng
land persist in their attitude of belligerent
powers and since the Principalities have not
been evacuated, Prussia and Austria will doubt
Jess consider that the obligations entailed by
the treaty Of the Goth Of April, and confirmed
! in what concerns the Cabinet of Vienna by its
private treaty with the Sublime Porte, subsist
in their integrity and have reached their ter
minaticn. Receive. etc.,
