For several years, struggle has existed between
the Ottoman Porte. and the inhabitants of the Gre

marked on both sides, BY excesses revolving to hu-
manty.


During this struggle, the rights Of neutral States,
and the laws which regulate the intercourse Of civili
zed nations, have been frequently violated, and the
commerce of his Majesty's subjects has been expos
ed to depredatons aggravated very often, by acts
Of violence and atrocity.


His Majesty has arlently desired to put stop to
these caamities, and To avert the dangers insepara
BILE from such state of Observation-Disclosures con-
stitutng the only exception to the general state OF

| Notwithstanding the bravery evinced on that oc-
caslon. His Majesty laments, that this action has
occurred wIth the l0rces OF an ancient ay-but re-
tains confident hope that this untoward event will
moi he followed by other hostiIes and viii NOT pre-
vent the amlcable arrangement between the Greeks
and the Ottoman Porte, which both have so great
an interest in adhering to.


In maintaining the national faith, and in observ
ing the engagements which His Majesty has con
tracted, His Majesty will never lose sight of the
great objects In view. those Of causing the cessation
