Porte by His Malestys Ambassador AZ Conslah-

l. DE LAGRENE.


The undersigned has received the note by
which NJ l. de Lagrene, Charge de Aftares OF
his majesty the King OF the French, has commu-
nicaed the deep regret which the conclusion OF the
treaty of the 9Th of July between Russia and the
Porte has caused the French Government, without
/ stating at the same time either the motives Of
that regret or the nature of the objections TO
which that treaty may give rise. The under
signed cannot be acquainted with them-still less
can he understand them. The treaty of the 9th
of July is purely defensive; il has been concluded
between two independent powers. exercising the
plentude of their rights, and il does no prejudice
to the interests Of any state whatever.


/ What could. therefore, be the objections which
other powers might deem themselves justified in
raising against such transaction? How, above
all, could they declare that they consider it Of no
validity, unless they have in view the subversion
of All empire which the treaty is destined TO pre-
serve! But such cannot be the design Of the
French Government 1t would be at open vari-
ance with all the declarations it made in ihelast
ferences i'll the East. The undersigned must,
therefore, suppose that the opinion expressed in
NJ. de Lagrene's note rests upon incorrect data,
and that, better informed by the communication
of the treaty which the Porte has recently made
known to the French Ambassador at CONSTANT.
nope, his Government will better appreciate the
value and usefulness of a transaction concluded
in spirit as pacific as conservative, 81.


That act changes the nature ofithe relations be-
tween Russia and the Porte; for, to long 7enmity,
it makes relations of intimacy and confidence sue
ceed, wherein the Turkish Government will
henceiorth find guarantee Of stability, and, il
need be, means Of defence calculated TO insure
its preservation. 4@.: 5r,.


II is in this conviction, and guided by the pu
rest and most disinteresed intentions, that His
Majesty the Emperor is resolved on faithfully ful
filing, should the occasion present itself, the obi
cations which the treaty of the 9Th Of July i'm
poses upon him, acting thus as if the declaration
contained in NJ de Lagrenes note did not exist
