tf) H Dtclaralien of tht Imperial Conrt of RnJJia to the Courts of Sosro/t, upon tht
mtreji of its Miu’fer, rsfiJmt at ConflanttncpU,
HER Imperial Majcity, in taking a part in the tranfallioni of
the Republick of Poland, as humanity on one fide, and the
obligations of her Crown oa the other, had prompted her,
was no Kfs cartful to conduit hcrfelf in such a manner as not
to give umbrage to a jealous and powerful neighbour :
every part of her conduit was publick; and (he had likewise a par.
ticular attention to communicate in confidence to the Ottoman
Porte her resolutions upon every ftcp (he took, and she conduit Ac in
tended toobferve, till the peace and tranquility of that kingdom was en
tirely re eltablilhed. But the enemiqp to the peace of these two empires
were not wanting to blacken at the Porte all the actions of her Imperial
Majeity, and to sow these the feeds of difeord by the mod falfe imputati
ons. The Porte, rcltrained by the upright conduit the Court of RuCa
continued to maintain towards them, liltened, but it was with caution,
to the calumny that was spread. Some attention to the affairs of Poland,
•nd an impartial examination of what Ruflia had done, compared with the
overtures made by that Court at the Porte, had dispelled all suspicion,
and the publick tranquility seemed to be no more threatened. The com
mon enemies, however, repeated their insinuations with more rage and
audacity than ever, to impose upon the credulity of the Turkilh nation,
and infufed a spirit of difeontent among them, wflich called for the aotice
of government, for it had forced its way even into the seraglio The
change in the mioiftry, brought about by these events, soon produced a
revolution in the fy (tern of peace, equally dear to both nations. The new
Virir, upon his advancement, immediately lent for Mr. Obrdkow, her
Imperial Majesty’s Resident at the Po'rte, and after having cauLd to be
raid in his presence a declaration full of heavv charges agaiolt his Court,
part of which had already been invalidated bv the mod fair and candid
explanations, and others that had never existed, or were ever thought of,
she Vizir prefled him to figtt immediately* order the guaranty of the al
lies of his Sovereign, fome very offenfive conditions, in regard to which
there never had been made the least proposal durine the whole courfo of
the operations in Poland. These conditions, very derogatory to the ho
nour and glory of an Empress accuftomgd to receive no law, proposed in a
tome and form repugnant to the freedom of negotiation adopted by every
power, were attended with the alrernative of an immediate rupture of the
perpetual peace betweqp the two Empires. The Ruffian Minister, confi
dent of the upright intentions of his Court, and conscious of the probity
of his own conduft, as having fulfilled the duties of a long Ministry, was
incapable of unworthily degrading his Court and his own diarafter by a
humiliating engagement, and which would have exceeded the power and
coramiffion of any Minister, let them be ever foextenfive; he gave there
fore a positive refufal, as became his honour and his duty ; -and the re
solution of the Divan, whkh followed immediately after, was to arrest
him, and pa-t his retinue, and carry him to the Castle of the Seven
Towers.—lt would be needless for the Imperial Court of Ruflia to dwell
any longer upon this event, or tmenter here into an examination of it.
The fall fbeaks for itfelf. The honour and glory of her Imperial Ma
jesty flie regard to he* Empire, point out the part it is right for her to
take. Confiding in the justice of her cause, (he appeals to all Christian
Courts on the Titration (he finds herfelf in with regard to the common e
pemy of Christianity. certain as (he is, that her conduit will meet with
equal approbation from each of them, and that (he (haH have the advan
tage tojoin to the Divine protcltion, the just afliftance of her friends, and
the good a 1 Christendom.
