Government may feel towards concession. They are all, liowever without 
instructions, and equallv with rayself uninformed of what has taken place 
at St. Petersburgh beyond what bas been communicated to us by M. de 
Minziaky. The internuntio expects a Courier from Vienna and has no doubt 
imparted bis expectation to the Reis-Efendi. 
With respect to myself I liave thought it advisable to abstain hitherto 
from taking any direct step in furtherance of M. de Minziaky’s proceedings 
beyond tliat, лѵЬіск I mentionned in a former despatch. Mr. Chabert however 
had my instructions to afford to the Reis-Efendi an opportunity of returning 
to the subject and on the 11 -th instant His Excellency entered into a long 
confidential conversation with tliat gentleman, in which it was observable, 
that all angry feelings with respect to Russia were hushed, and tliat the 
tendency of the Reis-Efendi’s remarks was ratlier to shew a want of right 
and reason on the side of Russia, than any conclusive motives for the Porte 
to withhold the required concessions. 
The Porte is fully in possession of the opinion of His Majesty’s Govern- 
ment, as to the expediency or ratlier the necessity of her avoiding hostilities 
with Russia. The Court of St. Petersburgh liaving taken upon itself to treat 
directly with the Turkish Government, I can hardly err in thinking, tliat, 
so long, as she is inclined to give way, the less I interfère, the better, and 
that, in case of her counsels taking a different turn, I shall be able to inter- 
fère with more effect, after I shall hear from the duke of Wellington, and 
after the Reis-Efendi shall liave learnt from the Internuntio, tliat the satis- 
faction expressed by his Court at the completeness of the last concessions 
of the Porte will not prevent his recommending a frech sacrifice with unabated 
earnestness. 
I hâve the honour to be with truth and respect, 
Sir, 
Your most obedient 
humble servant, 
Stratford Canning.
