days ago in London, has already been ra,i
fed, and that the tex. Of this impor,an, doe
umen. will probably appear this morning
in the Moni.eur. The object Of the alliance
Of The two Courts is stated to be the re-
establishment of peace between the Empe-
gor of Russia and the Sultan on a perma-
cnl basis, and the preservation Of Europe
som the dangers which have disturbed the
General peace.
For this purpose, and in order 10 rescue the
iomnions Of the Sultan from foreign inva-
sion, The English and French governments
agree 10 combine their militery and naval
forces in manner sufficient to accomplish
she result they have in view. They bind
themselves not TO accept any proposition
for the cessation of hostilites against Rus
sis, without having communicated 10 each
other the nature OF such overtures. They
distinctly disclaim all exclusive advantage
TO themselves from the events which may
arise, and they invite the rest OF Europe to
cooperate with them in an alliance des,in-
