Georgia Gazette. J JU Jk 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. .LONDON, DECEMat* ts - LETTER from Constantinople. dated Oft. 27. fays. “ A Tartar di patched from the Bafhaw of Romelia arrived here yellerdav, with advice of fome advantages gained over the Montenegrins.
