base Of the diplomatic campaign was found 10
"A treaty-the treaty OF KanaTdii BY that trea-

ton and. of course in favor Of all the com
munities Of that faith in the Sultans domlnions,
Who happen to be the large majority Of his subjects
Ills was the avOwed Russian Interpretation OF the
treaty Of Ksnardj On the other hand they might see,
from Dispatch OF the 9Th of January, 1873 from sr
Hamilton Seymour, that Count NesseliOde informed
Sir Hamilton, who Informed Lord Clarendon " that 1t
was necessary that the diplomacy OF Russia should be
"tuppOrted by denomination OF force. According
to tbs same dispatch Count NesserOdes belief that
this quettion would be brought 10 s9tisact0ry con
clusion rested upon the cXer'ious which were 70 be
made by Her Msesy's Ministers at Paris and Con-
" stantinople.' Russa, then, at once declared that
tie demonstration OF force only denomination;
but at the object to be penceaby attained BY the
exertonR Of the English Minister'S at Paris and Con
stantinople "Now, Sir" continued Mr.. Disraeli. Il
want TO know, with that object expressed with those
"means detailed, and with that diplomacy to deaf wtl
chow the Ministers encountered such combination
1t unnecessary to touch ON the question OF the
Holy Places. That in fact, soon settled at Con
stantinople. Even Count NesselrOde, at very early
period OF these negotiations expressed bis surprise and
satisfaction and stated his acknowledgement Of
tie conciliatory spirit Of France. But all that
time the forces Of Russia were accumula-
ting On the Turkish frontiers, and all that time
Count NcsserOde was telling Lord Clarendon that his
EaNar ueutv ON 1aek an
which the Greek Church had lost at Jerusalem, but in
the settlement of which his Government had not been
disturbed. Even the mission OF Prince Mencblkoi was
mentioned atthat time as proved by various dispatch
es ron Sir Hamilton Seymour. Lord Johr Russell
had told them the other night that the conduct of Count
NessclIode was fraudulent. On the other hand Lord
John Russell confessed himself that Count Nesselrode
kept saving that bis Imperial master would ask an
equivalent for the Greek Church; button the other he
complained that Count NesscrOdc told them what
he wanted. Wicked Count Nesselr0de! Laughter.
Fraudulent duplicy of Russian statesmen! Laugh
"ter Why could the noble Lord not find the inor-
"mation he wanted Why is Sir Hamilton Seymour
"at ST. Petersburg if be is not TO ask for the nor
"mation that is deeired" II Count NesserOde never
told him what he wanted, it was because the noble
Lord dared to ask At this stage OF the proceed
iDgs il the duty of the Ministers to put categorical
questions 10 The Cabinet of ST Petersburg If they
could not define what they wanted then it was time
to declare that the friendly Offices of the British Gov
eminent at Paris aad COnstantin0ple were TO cease
When Lord John Russell had renquisbed the seals OF
Office and was followed by Lord Clarendon, there was
different character in the diplomatic proceedings-a
bias in favor of Russia. When Lord Clarendon was
made Minister of Foreign Affairs he had to draw
up instructions for Lord Stratford de Radcliffe the
Queens Embassador, repairing TO the seat OF action
Now what these instructions AT the moment OF
her utmost need ard her utmost cxgency, Turkey is
lectuIed about internal reform and commercial reform.
1t is minated to her that the conduct OF the Porte
must be distinguished by the utmost moderation and
prudeI ce, viz that il must comply with the demands
Of Russia. Meanwhile the Government continued
not TO demand explicit explanation Of what
meant On the part OF Russia. Prince Menchikoh
arrived at ConsantinOple After having received most
alitang mffiyes from Col. Rose, ind warning dis
patches from Sir Hamilton Seymour, Lord Clarendon
in letter 10 Lord Cowley, the British Embassador at
Paris, denounced Colonel Roses order in calling mp
the Brtieh feet, regretted the order given to the
French Admiral TO sal 10 the Greek waters, fsvorng
France with cOntemptuous dogma, " that policy OF
suspicion is neither wise nor safe, and declared he
placed full reliance the Emperor of kussa's solemn
assurances that be would uphold the Turkish Empire.
Then Lord Clarenden writes 10 his ambassador at
ConGtantnople that he feels quite sure that the objects
ofPrnce McDchkof mission, Whatever they may be,
do not expose to danger the authority OF the Sultan,
cor the integrity OF bis dominOns.' Aye Lord
Clarendon went out of his way 10 accuse their solitary
ally in Europe, and stated that their Only grounds for
now approaching embarrassment in the East the
position fer time occupied by France with respect
to TIE Holy Places Accordingly Count Nesselrode
complim(nted Lord Aberdeen upon the beau role

Of April, Colonel Rose informed this country Of the
Stcrei convention which Russia demanded from Turkey
Only ten days after Lord Stratord arrived at Con-
stantnople ard confirmed every thing that Colonel
