We will now pass to the examination of the
fourth question, which the despatch Of Count Wal
ewsk enters before the thra, order to justify
the Plenipotentisries OF France and England for
having deferred the discussion Of this grave inter

the circular Of May 2s Count walewskis) there ex.
listed certain dive gence OF view between the
French Cabinet and ours. At Paris the political
question predomiuates; In other words, the fourth
guarantee is specially considered IN relation TO the
influence which the great Powers exercise In the
East. A. st. Petersburg the religious sentiment,
the national sentiment Of the country, outweighs
ire COL sideraiions belonging only +, the domain Of
politics. Under the influence Of this conviction the
principal object which the Russian pleniposeotis
res were dire cted TO keep ia view was 10 arrive at
peace by which the liberty OF worship and tn
amelioration of the condition Of the Christian po-
pulatioDs subject to the domination OF the Ottoman
empire, should be placed for the iutare uoder The
safeguard OF collective act, sanctioned by Euro
pean law.
