FROM THE DARIEN GAZETTE.
ADMINISTRATION MEETING.
At a meeting of the friends of the pre-
ynt Administration of the General Gov
ernment, held in Darien on the 14ih inst.
pursuant to previous notice, Allen B.
Powell, Esq. was called to the Chair,
*)nd Geo. T. Rogers appointed Secreta-
ry.
After a few preliminary and appropri
ate remarks from the Chair, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted: —
Resolved, That we deeply deplore that
spirii of proscription and abuse, which is
abroad in our land, and which spares not
to assail, without measure or remorse,
our purest patriots, heroes, and states
man.
Resolved, That it lias become tae im
perious duty of every virtuous community
in our beloved country, however small
their numbers, or uninfluential in their in
dividual capacity, to array their moral
energies against that flood-tide of malig
nity which disgraces many of our public
journals, and converts our legislative halls
into arenas for the display of the worst
passions of men.
Resolved, That Andrew Jackson, as a
soldier and a general, deserves the meed
of praise from his country.
Resolved, That John Quincy Adams,
whose moral and political worth was
known and acknowledged by Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, has
done nothing to forfeit the high character
to which he attained under their several
administrations. That now, amidst the
raging and conflicting elements of parly
virulence, lie guides the vessel of State
with a master’s skill, and that we, actuated
alone by views connected with the dear?
est interests of o(B$ountry, feel bound
by honor and conscience, to support him
B3 our next chief ra igistrate.
Resolved, Thai we approve of the nom
ination of Richard Rush, E«q. of Pensyl-
Vania, for our next Vice President.
Resolved, That with a view of concen
trating the votes of those favorable to the
re-election of Mr. Adams, we nominate
James Hamilton Couper, E iq. of Glynn
county, as Elector, leaving the nomination
of other Electors to other sections of our
State, which are engaged in the same
cause. • "
Resolocd, That Col. Wm. A. Dun
ham, Anson Kimberly’, and Th imasKing,
Esqrs. be appointed a Committee of Cor
respondence, and that they be requested
to aid by their intercommunications, in
establishing a general concert of action a-
mnng the friends of the present adminis
tration.
Resolved, That the Editor of the Da
rien Gazette, and ail other independent
Editors in this State, be requested to pub
lish these resolutions.
Resolved, That the thanks of this
mpeliug be tendered to the Chairman and
Secretary.

STATE CONVENTION.
Albany, jCne 11.
Judge Spencer, from the committee
of twelve, reported the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That the confidence of the
convention in the public Sc private worth &
integrity of J. Q. Adams, remains unim
paired; that iiis administration of the gov
ernment of the (J. States, since his ac
cession to office, manifests the profound
statesman and an untiring zeal to'promote
the best inteiests of the nation; that un
der his wise counsels and guidance, the
national character has been sustained, and
its prosperity advanced ; aud that he
richly merits our graceful acknowledg
ments as a faithful and beneficent admin
istrator of our public affairs.
Resolved, Thai the causeless hostility
to his administration, and the increasing
efforts tojierver;, distort and discolor Iiis
character and can met, emanate from fac
tions and diisrg wi.Ziiig principles diis-c-
ving the reprobation of every man who
estimates the honor and character of his
country, and who would cherish and sup
port a wise and virtuous administration of
the government.
Resolved, That there exists no ju3t
cause for excluding Mr. Adams from a re-
election to the presidency, contrary to
the almost uninterrupted course of the
government, and mat such exclusion in fa
vour of a candidate of far inferior qualifi
cations, would evince a reckless disregard
to our own interests, aud to the 'prosper
ity, safety and seem it V to the nation.
Resolved, That whatever may have
been the military services of Gen. An
drew Jackson, the only opposing candi
date for the presidency, he is unfitted by
his habits, ills temper, and his want of
civil acquirements, for tile exalted station
ol president of the United States; and we
should deplore his election as the greatest
calamity which could bef.il our country.
Resolved, thtrefor*, That John Quin-
cv Adams be nominated io the people of
this state for re-election, as president of
the United States.
Resolved, Thai having great confidence
in the talents, patriotism, and private
character of Richard Rush, and regard
ing h:m as the abie and prominent advo
cate of the cardinal interests of our nation
al policy, we recommend him to the peo-
ple as a suitable person for the office of
vice President of the United States.'
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Ti.OM THE {JEW YORKSEHECA FARMER.
The cause of the Administration, in al
most every section, is evidently gaining
ground every day. Ilad the election ta
ken place six months ago, Geu. Jackson
in our opinion, would have succeeded by
a handsome majority. But as calm rea
son and truth pervaded the minds of the
People, he has, for the last six months,
probably lost ground as a Presidential
candidate, as fast as he gained it a year or
fifteen months ago. This is plainly to be
seen, when ivc look about our own coun»
try, abroad through the States or through
the United States. Yet what boasting ac
counts concerning the Jackson interest in
this country have been published at the
City of Washington,in the Albany Argus,
and all over the country, and just such ac
counts of the success of Jackson’s cause
in other places are published here through
the same false mediums—and thus the
farce is kept up. It is only by a precon
certed and determined, resort to misrep
resentations and false colourings, that his
cause is kept up in this State with anv
tolerable appearance of success. We
have never before seen the Albany Argus
so monstrously put to its trumps to invent
plausible misrepresentations to do away
.the effects of the evident “signs of the
times” that are continually breaking out
in spite of Mr. Van Boren’s party disci
pline in every section of the country. It
must be plain to every intelligent observer
that the Democracy of the State, headed
by veterans, in the old democratic School
are firmlv stepping forward in support of
Mr. Adams. They respect General
Jackson as a great and successful military
officer—they admito him him as a Hero
in the field—but knowing him as lie is,
they tremble at the idea of placing him at
the head of the civil and intiicate affairs
of the nation.
Tennesee-—A convention of the del
egates from the several counties of the
Nashville district, in Tennessee, assem
bled on the 26th ultimo, and, after adopt
ing an address and resolutions in support
of the Administration, nominated Dr.
Boyd McNairy as Adams Elector for
that District. An assembly of citizens,
in Bedford county, in the pame State, on
the 17t'n ult. adopted several very strong
resolutions, and nominated Dr. James L.
Armstrong as Adams Elector lor that
District.—Nat. Int.
A FLYING PATRIOT.—We copy
the following advertisement from yester
day’s Enquirer :
“Flew away, on Friday the 6th inst. a PAR
ROT, with red feathers on the throat, that often
says, quite distinctly, “ Hurra for Jackson!” A
suitable reward will be given for returning the
bird to the owner, at 29 Wall-street.”
Yesterday afternoon we were much
surprised to hear the shout “Hurrah for
Jackson !” proceeding from the office of
our friend Stone. On examination, we
saw Poll perched on the window sill, og
ling the Colonel most uxoriouslv, and ev
idently determined to bring him over to
the good cause. The Colonel was in an
attitude of defence, making divers despe
rate pushes at Poll, and exclaiming loud
ly, “Go away, d—n you/” “Hurrah
for Jackson!” said Poll: “Go to thun
der !” said Stone. Bloodshed was pre
vented by the interference of the Police
—Hays seized the culprit, and carried
her ofl’; all Broadway beard the shout
“Hurrah for Jackson !” as Poll travelled
to ihe City Hal!. “Darn that bird !” said
a Jonathan, from Nantucket—-“Hurrah
for Jackson !” said Poll. On being pre
sented to Jnsiice Hopson, the first inqui
ry was, “What is your name?” “Hurrah
for Jackson !” said Puli. “What do you
do for a living?” “Hurra for Jackson!”—
Nothing could be got out of her ;ebe was a-
Ivtu being committed to Bridewell, when
our neighbor of the Enquirer entered
-bail for her good behavior, that she should
keep 'he peace towards the people of
X y.v-York, and William L. Stone in
particular. “Hurrah for Jackson !’* said
Pull, and away she went.
Morn. Courier.
A Sign“ A Parrot with red feathers
cm the throat,” and taught to exclaim
“ Hurra for Jackson, is advertised in the
Enquirer ofyesterday, as having flown a-
way from 29 Wall-street. The poor bird
ashamed of its associates, disgusted with
the party who taugljl him the expression,
and abominating his location, wings his
flight toother regions. It would be well
for the community, if the numerous flocks
of .party colored parrots which infest the
country under a false delusion would fol
low’ the example of this repentant feath
ered chatterer.—Nat. Advocate.
A New-York Police Report, published
in yesterday’s Mercury, relates, that a
Parrot, who Itad been taught to repeat
the words “ Huirah for Jackson,” hav
ing escaped from its owner, on being
retaken and carried before Mr. Justice
Hopson, of that city, after numerous other
interrogatories, was asked,’“ What do
you do for your living”—to which Poll
replied, “ Hurrah for Jackson.”—This is
not the only Parrot, who either gets a liv
ing, or expects to get one, by crying out
“ Hurrah for Jackson." We have many
amongst us, who obtain their bread, and
many otheis who hope to do so, by the
same means.—Charleston Courier.
Extract from the Address of the Hon. Thomas
Washington to the Electoral Committee of
Rutherford County, Tennessee,
“I am for Mr. Adams, upon the princi
ple of stare decisis; and because I believe
him to be as pure and virtuous as either
of the rest, and more enlightened than
any of them. Nay ; I believe him to be
one of the most enlightened men now up
on the active theatre of life—whether
speaking in reference to this country or
to the world. I also believe, that if let a-
lone, he will do much to "advance the dig
nity and prosperity ©f the United States;
and that, if the administration should be
changed, party feuds will rise, and the po
licy h^etofore pursued, be either much
retarded, or wholly abandoned.”
General Jackson.—We believe this
distinguished patriot lias for the present,
declined an invitation to a dinner at the
Waxhaws ; but as he proposes to pay a
visit to Charleston for the pious purpose
of searching for, and reinlmming the re
mains «>f a beloved parent, in the spot
where his own are to be deposited, it is
then probable he may honor the place of
Ins nativity with a visit.
Camden. Journal, June -21.
SENATOR BENTON.
We find the following sketch of the re
marks made by Mr. Benton, in the Sen
ate, on the proposition to increase thedu-
tv on indigo. Those who heard the
speech will readily perceive that this
sketch is faithful to the driginal.— lVe
the People.
“ Mr. President suppose, if the crop of
indigo should fail, sir ; and should it fail,
Mr. President, for a single season, in—
what a shock ?ir—what a shock to our
manufacturers, Mr. President. We should
ho subjected—-Mr. President to the redi-
cule—to the redicule, sir, of all the world
—of all the world, Mr. President. You
know, Mr. President, what logwood dye
is, sir, we should be obliged .to substitute
that, Mr. President, yes, sir, we should be
obliged to substitute log-wood dye, Sir.
We all, sir, know what log-’^ood dye is.
sir. We should be obliged to subsLtute
that, Air. President. Yes, sir, we know
very well what log wood dye, sir, is. Mr.
President, we have all seen log-wood dye,
sir. Suppose, sir, that all our coats were
dyed with log-wood dye, sir, which we
should be obliged to use, Mr. President,
as a substitute for indigo, sit. Sir, we
should have more colours about us than a
forest in November, sir. In reality, Mr.
President, every body would laugh at us,
sir.”
In the course of Mr. Webster’s re
marks at the dinner lately given to him in
Boston, lie said : —
“ Reflecting men have always suppo
sed, that if there were a weak point in the
Federal Constitution, it was in the pro
vision for the Executive power. And this,
perhaps, may he considered as rendered
more delicate and difficult, by the great
augmentation of the number of the S'ates.
We must expect there will often be, as
there was at tholasi election, several can-
didates for the Presidency. All hut one,
of course, must be disappointed; and if
the friends of all such, however otherwise
divided, are immediately to unite, arid to
make common cause against embarrass
ment and confusion. The love of office
will, ere long, triumph over the love of
country, and party and faction usurp the
place of wisdom and patriotism. If the
contest for the Executive power is thus to
be retiewed every four years, if it is to be
conducted as the present has been conduct
ed, and ifevery election is to be imme
diately followed, as the last* was followed,
by a prompt union of all whose friends
are not chosen, against him who is, tlie.re
is, in my judgment, danger, great danger,
that this great experiment of confederated
goverment may fail, and that even those
of us, who are not among the youngest,
may behold its catastrophe.”
Shipping Interest.—Some of the pub
lic journals have already commenced
charging to the account of the new tariff
of duties the stagnation of commerce and
the depressed state of the shipping inter
est. That act of the government will bo
made a stalking-horse, on which may be
conveniently packed all the embarras-
ments and distresses of our marc bants
from whatever sources their misfortunes
have originated. It is a well known fact,
that our wharves are lined with vessels,
which had returned from the south in bal
last, long, lung before the Tariff bill pass
ed. The truth is that short crops of cot
ton and other products have essentially
diminished the usual amount of freights,
while the quantity of goods imported in
foreign bottoms has left our own shipping
without employment. Grant, for the
sake of argument, that the new Tariff is
fraught with all the evils to commerce
which some have anticipated, it is evident
that the effects of the change in the . ate
of duties cannot so soon be felt ; and it
will be time enough to erv, wolf, when the
wolf has actually appeared.
N. Y. Statesman.
We observe by a notice in the’news
papers, that the students at one of our
southern institutions, have adopted a res
olution to dress entirely in homespun,
and more especially, to wear no cloth
manufactured north of the Potomac.—
Now, whatever may be said of the feeling
in which this resolution originated, there
can be no harm in the practical part of it.
Were our young lads, generally, obliged
to dress in homespun, it would be better
both lor them and their parents. If the
Tariff is oppressive, this is the only wav
to disarm it of its sting; But such puffs
will ail be forgotten at the first holiday
ball. _ They originated in the interfer
ence of a few boys of an older growth.
Savannah Mercury.
Speaking of the Poor Laws, the Duke
of Wellington says that “if work is not
furnished and food given to able bodied
persons, they will immediately fall sick.”
In illustration of the position, we will re
peat an anecdote communicated to us
many years ago, by a country gentleman
and Magistrate. A stout, healthy fellow,
applied to the Board for support. They
refused saying, “ Why you are a strong,
hale man, and can work ; we will not
keep you in idleness.” Applicant—“ You
wunt/” “No we won’t.” Applicant
“ You’d better.” “ No, we shall not.”
Applicant (emphatically,)—“ You wunt
—then (slapping his thigh) blow me if I
doart fall sick l”—London paper.
CHEROKEE INDIANS.
We have before us, the Treaty lately
made with the Cherokee Indians, west
of the Mississippi. The following is that
part of it which'provides for the emigra
tion of those who are yet resident within
the limits of Georgia.—Geo. Journal.
Art. 8. The Cherokee Nation, West of
the Mississippi having by this agreement,
freted themselves from the harrassing and
ruinous effects consequent upon a location
amidst a white population, and secured
to themselves and their posterity, under
the solemn sanction of the guarantee of
the United States, as contained in this a-
greemeut, a large extent of unembarras
sed country ; aud that their Brothers yet
remaining in the States may be induced
to join them and enjoy the repose and
blessings of such a state in the future, it is
further agreed, on the part of' the United
States, that to each Head of a Cherokee
family now residing within the Chartered
limits of Georgia, or of either of the states,
East of the Mississippi, who may desire
to remove West, shall be given, on enrol
ling himself for emigration, a good Rifle,
a Blanket, and Kettle, and five pounds of
Tobacco ; (and to each member of his
family one Blanket,) also, a just compen
sation for the property he may abandon,
to be assessed by persons to be appointed
bv the President of the United States.—
The cost of the emigration of all such
shall also be borne by the United States,
and good and suitable ways opened, aud
provisions procured for their comfort, ac
commodation, and support, by the way,
and provisions for twelve months after
their arrival at the Agency ; 4 and to each
person, or head of a family, if, he takes a-
long with him four persons, shall be paid
immediately on Iiis arriving at the Agen
cy aud repotting himself and his family,
or followers, as emigrants and permanent
settlers, in addition to the above, provided
he and they shall have emigrated from
within the Chartered limits of the State
of Georgia, the sum of Fifty Dollars, and
this sum in proportion to any greater or
less number that may accompany him
from within the aforesaid Chartered lim
its of the State of G eorgia.
Proviso by the Senate.
“ Provided, nevertheless, that the said
Convention shall not be so construed as
to extend the Northern Boundary of
the * Perpetual Outlet West,’ provided
for and guaranteed in the second article
of said Convention, North of the thirty
sixth degree of North latitude, or so to
interfere with the lands assigned, or to be
assigneJ, West of the Mississippi River,
io the Creek Indians who have emigrated,
or many emigrate from the Stale of Geor
gia and Alabama, under the provisions of
any treaty or Treaties heretofoie conclu
ded between the United States and the
Creek Tribe of Indians; and provided
further, That nothing in the said Conven
tion shall be construed to cede or assign
to the Cherokees any lands heretofore
ceded or assigned to any tribes of Indians,
by any Treaty now existing and in force,
with any such tribe or tribes.”
SOUTH {AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
Rio Janeiro, April 28, 1828.
I have lately visited Buenos Ayres—
that wonderful city, which, almost unsup
ported by her sister provinces, continues
with eclat to wage war with a great em
pire, aud laugh at the high pretensions of
the Emperor of Brazil. The Brazilians,
to be sure, hold the supremacy on the wa
ter, and continue to blockade Buenos Ay
res, but it is very ineffectively. When
we first arrived on the coast, the Brazil
ians had 60 pennants flying in the river
La Plata; they have now probably not
more than half that number—10 or 15 of
them cruising (commonly close together,
for fear of being surprised aud cut off in
detail, like Bobadil’s army,) within 15 or
20 miles of Buenos Ayres. The river
there being 30 or 40 miles over, vessels
pass them almost every night, unmolested.
Pinto Geddes is still the Admiral, and
generally is at Monte-Video, leaving
Commodore Norton to command up the
river.
The General Government of the Pro
vinces of this Republic having been dis
solved now more than a year, each Pro
vince, or State (I believe 16 or 17 in
number), now takes care of itself, and the
city of Buenos Ayres is left to carry on
the war with the little assistance she gets
by the voluntary contributions of the dif
ferent Provinces, in men and money.—
The Provinces, generally, agree in the
propriety and necessity of the war, but
disagree about the form of their own
General Government. Buenos Ayres
wishes for a consolidated form, to be con
centrated at Buenos Ayres ; the interior
Provinces recalled therr Representatives,
aud will only agree to a Federal form of
Government, like that of the United
States, and to have them meet somewhere
in the interior, being jealous ef Buenos
Ay res. The latter form of Government
is undoubtedly best suited to the country,
and is now forming—with what success
time only can determine.
Buenos Ayres has now about 7,000
troops, mostly cavalry, under General
Lavallaja, in the Banda■ Oriental (the
bone of contention), who are now press
ing upon the heels of the Imperial troops
within the limits of Brazil, at Rio-Grande,
where they have fortified themselves, but
if not soon relieved, they must be cut off
by the Patriots. Monte-Video and Ca-
lonia, the only towns of all the Banda-
Oriental held by the Brazilians, are still
besieged by the Patriots, the smoke of
whose flies are daily ascending over the
towns; but being well garrisoned, walled,
and strongly fortified, they cannot be ea
sily taken. Ther Gouchers (as the Pat
riots are called) are brave, aud will endure
great privation and fatigue. They have
fine horses, and know bow to ride them ;
30 of them have been known to charge
upon 600 Brazilians drawn up to receive
them ; of course they were repulsed with
some loss (8 men), but in tbeir retreat they
all feel safe in the speed of their horses.
They will attack and retreat at pieasuie ;
they are like the Arabs of the desert, aud
can hardly be conquered.
The finances of both Buenos Ayres and
Brazil are getting low. In the former ci
ty, four paper dollars go for one of spe
cie ; in Rio-Janeiro two paper dollars go
for one of specie. The Emperor has
not succeeded, altogether, with his Irish
soldiers. About 2,000 of them have been
invited over by the Emperor in the char
acter of emigrants, and he now wants to
make soldiers of them. Pat don’t like
it; but being hard pushed, and in the face
of starvation, I see many of them are fal
ling into the ranks. Some of tl^pm brought
their families, and now find -themselves
entrapped to make soldiers for the Em
peror. His troops, however, are much
better paid and clothed than the Buenos
Ayreans; this is some inducement for
them to enter ; about 500 of these poor
devils have died already. I can’t tell how
it will terminate, but I think discontented
Irish troops would be rather dangerous!
for the Emperor. The Buenos Ayrean ]
privateers continue to make havoc with
the Brazilian commerce. Captain Coe,
in a small privateer brig of 6 guns, at
tacked the Robert Fulton, with her con
voy, drove her into Santos, and took sev
eral prizes ; he had 8 men killed and 4
wounded. So much for the war.

From Europe.
New-York, June 16.
Bv the packet ship Birmingham, cap
tain Harris, which arrived below on Fri
day afternoon, we received on Saturday,
at 1 P. M., our files of London journals
to the evening of the 10th ultimo, Glas
gow toihe 7ih idem, and Lloyd’s and
Shipping Lists to the 10th. Our latest
Liverpool papers are of the 12th, and our
private letters to the 13th ult. We have
made such extracts as contain the most
important items of intelligence in rela
tion to the affairs of Russia, Turkey, and
Greece, from the Liverpool Albion ; from
which it will be seen that there was no
doubt of the Russians having occupied
the principalities of Moldavia ant] Walla-
chia, and of their having passed the Pruth
on the 27th April. The conduct of the
Emperor Nicholas is precisely in accor
dance with the policy which that court
has followed with an undeviatiiig purpose
of territorial aggrandizement, since the
days of the Empress Catharine; and we
are persuaded that all speculations, found
ed on tho belief of the continuance of
peace on the continent, will be found il
lusory.
In England, we fintTthe great question
of Catholic Emancipation occupying the
attention of Parliament. The question
was brought forward in the House of
Commons by Sir Francis Burdett, whose
motion, in the following words, was se
conded by Mr. Brougham : “ That the
House resolve itself into a committee to
consider the state of the law affecting his
majesty’s Roman Catholic subjects in
Ireland, with a view to such conciliatory
amendments as may be to the general
satisfaction of all parties.” Tho debate
was continued with great ability, through
the 8th and 9th and was to be resumed on
the 12th. Wo copy from the Times a
bold and eloquent expression of the opin
ions entertained by the Editors of that
Journal, in relation to this now most in
teresting subject, to both England and
Ireland, and shall, hereafter if our limits
will peimit, copy the very able speeches
of Sir F. Burdett and Sir James McIn
tosh. The bill for the repeal of the Cor-
poratiouand Test acts, received the Roy
al signature, by commission, on the 8th
May, so that the disabilities of protestant
dissenters, in regard to office, are abroga
ted in a great measure. The subject of
imposing a duty on foreign wool, is also
attracting no small share of parliamenta
ry notice, and as it is one to which we feel,
and must feel an interest, we shall deyote
some portion of our columns to it to-mor
row. The reader is referred to our com
mercial head for the state of the London

hie cause.
Tho Declaration describes, at much
greater length, the cause which render an
appeal to arms indispensably necessary.
It reproaches the Porte with i:s shame
ful avowal of duplicity in signing the trea
ty of Ackermann, which it never inten
ded to fulfil; with its disregard of all oth
er treaties, with its perfidy in summon- lj
ing all Mahomedans to arms against Rus
sia, on the very day when the European
Ambassadors received the strongest as-
surances of the pacific disposition ofthe
Porte; and with its endeavors to cause a
renewal of tho war in Persia. Notwith
standing all the sacrifices made by Russia
to preserve peace, and secure the exis
tence of the Turkish dominions in Eu
rope, the Turks had taken advantage of
the difficulties in which they imagined
Russia to be involved after the peace of
1812, t.» violate more grossly all their ex* j
isting engagements.
They had cruelly butchered the Ser
vians, to whom they had granted an amne
sty ; and plundered Moldavia and Wal
achia, though the privileges < f those un- ■
happy provinces had been guaranteed.—
For five years the Emperor Alexander ■
had endeavored to preserve peace, not
withstanding all the provocations received
from the Turks, and the shameful eva
sion of treaties evinced bv them. The
insurrection in the Murea then broke out;
of this, Russia disapproved, but required
that the innocent should i.ot be punished
with the guilty. This resonablu demand
was disregarded by the Porte, and Chris
tians were exposed to indiscriminate plun
der and massacro. These repeated pro
vocations wore out the patience of Alex
ander, and in October, 1825, he trans
mitted an energetic remonstrance to the
Porte, but immediately afterwards, death
snatched him from the love of his people.
The Emperor Nicholas then sought to
settle the existing differences by nejocia-
tion, far from taking advantage ofthe re
volt of the Greeks, endeavoured to nredi-.
ate between them and the Porte. In pur
suance of this design, had signed with En
gland. the Piotoco! of April 3, aorl, sub
sequently, with England and France, the
Treaty of July 6. The Emperor ap
peals to that Treaty as a proof of his dis-^
interestness. The shameful breach of
faith, on the part of the Ottoman Gener
al, which led to the battle of Navarino,
did not change the Emperors wish for
peace, and the return made by turkey
for all tho moderation evinced by him,
was the publication of ihe insulting Mani
festo of the 20th of December. The
Emperor then declared war against Tur
key, and states the objects of the war to
be—
To compel Turkey to pay all the ex
penses of the war, and to indemnify his
subjects for all the losses they have sns-
tained.
To enforce the due and effectual ob
servance of these treaties which Turkey
has violated.
To secure the inviolable liberty of tj H
Black Sea, and the free navigation <>i
Bosphorus. ,.
He declares that lie has nnt those ambi
tious designs which the Turkish Manifes
to has imputed to him ; that he has al
ready countries, and nations, and care?
enough ; that, though he is a! v/zr tut.
reasons independent ofthe Treaty oft e
6th July, he will not depart from the sti
pulations of it, which he will fulfil in cj-‘
cert with his Allies. ...

not lay down his aims till he lias obiam-^
