the dangers to which the peace of the world would be
posed by REFUSAL and declared that the responsibility Of

to Count O for transmission to the Porte these also
rejected the Conference of the Representatives of
Austria France, Great Britain and Prussia, for the fol-
lowing reasons
After mature delberaton the Plenipotentiaries of
France and Great Britain taking the basis Of their
animation the previous documents which had received
the sanction OF the Four Powers established the
isenco of the radical differences between the documents
and the proposed preiminaries:-
l. Inasmuch as the evacuation of the Danuban Prin-
cralies which is fixed to take place after the sigma
ture of the prelminares, made to depend the de-
parure OF the combined fleets not only from the Black
danel!es condition which could only be admitted by
the maritime Powers after the conclusion of the de6n
tive treaty.
q Inasmuch as the document under consideration
tends to invest with form strictly conventional bila
tera and exclusively applicable to the relations of the
Porte with Russia the assurances relative to the religious
privileges Of the Greeks-assurances which the Porte has
only offered to give to the FIVE Powers at the same time
assurances in fact, once inserted in the preliminary
treaty. must then needs DO reproduced in the defntye
treaty and would be accompanied moreover, by an Off
ca note confrmaory of the said privileges exclusively
addressed to the Court of Russia, note which, in its
turn would be considered the treaties

g. Inasmuch as the preliminaries communicated to
Vienna by implication withheld from any discussion
in Conference upon the notifications considered

the acts which had received its assent and nasmuch
the conclusion of the defnve treaty contains greater
reservation for its inspection and Interference

TO make Turkey participate In the guarantees OF the
public law of Europe this condition IS passed over in

The plenir of Austria and Prussia appre

in Ike manner their part the remarkable differences
pointed between the Russian draught Of prelinna

In consequence the Conference unanimously agreed
