enclosing copy Of letter from the secretarycof

July o. 1867 in which he structs the latter to read
to the Ottoman Minister for Foreign Affairs the reso-
luton OF the Congress OF the United States declaring
sympathy with the suffering people OF Crete Mr.
Morris replied In August that, the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs being absent on a special mission to the EN-
peror OF Russia In the Crimea he had read the reso
luton to his Highness Ali Pacha, Grand vizier,
and at his request left with him q trans
lated copy in French. His Highness, while
apparently surprised at the character Of the resolu
tion and the order Of Congress for Its communica-
ton to the Turkish government, made no comments
whatever on It's subject matter. 1t appears from the
documents the Chamber OF Deputies In November
last passed q decree expressing to the Senate
and House of Representatives and the people Of the
United States the most profound sentiments Of
acknowledgement for their generous solicitude
for the Greek nation. Our Minister in reply
said the expressions Of interest on the part
OF the people of the United States for the
struggling Christians Of Crete are but the utteranc
OF those who would be faithless to the principles
which made and preserve them q nation did they
refuse to extend the right hand Of fellowship to
Others wherever gathered ON the earths surface who
contend for the inestimabe right to choose their
own rulers The people Of the United States will
consider 1t happy circumstance for all the people
Of Eastern Europe when the policy adopted
towards them shall be in conformity with that senti
ment which English statesmen have themselves ad-
mtted to be a political axiom, namely:-That
treaties can never unite populations which are
discovered by sympathies. Until this principle is
recognized peace may be maintained by expedients
but can never be secured.
