tn 
ing the order and the security of the State, 
and of restoring 1 the tranquillity of its in¬ 
habitants. Superior orders have in conse¬ 
quence been transmitted into my well-de¬ 
fended provinces, bearing the power, in 
virtue of a Sublime Fetwa, which proceeds 
from the brilliant law, of punishing those 
Rayas in full revolt who dare to combat 
against the Islamites, of seizing their pro¬ 
perties, and making their families captive. 
My sublime will being pronounced for 
the observance of the principle, that those 
subjects who conduct themselves in a 
peaceable and tranquil manner, occupying 
themselves with their ow r n affairs only, or 
those who having been once guilty of se¬ 
dition or revolt, shall have returned since 
into the paths of submission and a sincere 
repentance, shall be placed as before under 
the beneficent protection and shield of my 
Sublime Porte; aud although I do not suffer 
any action opposed to this will manifested 
upon my part, I have learned in a positive 
manner that in some places this principle 
has not been observed. Violence has been 
employed against peaceable and defenceless 
subjects who have taken no part in the re¬ 
volt, and some persons have had the teme¬ 
rity to seize upon their property, their fa¬ 
milies, aud their churches. It requires no 
further declaration to make it known that 
such a conduct is conformable neither to 
law nor to reason, that it 5s diametrically 
opposed to the principles uniformly pursued 
in my great empire, and that it is, in every 
particular, in contradiction to the Divine 
will, as well as to my Imperial order. It 
is consequently manifest that such conduct 
is dictated only by men who are incapable 
of distinguishing circumstances and rela¬ 
tions. 
Therefore it is that I am now about to 
send my particular commands, with refer¬ 
ence to this matter, to the three divisions 
of Anatolia and of Romelia. 
My will is, then, that you Vizirs, Miri- 
miranes, Mollas, Judges, Sub-Judges, and 
other authorities, should make known this 
manner of viewing affairs in all places 
within your districts and jurisdictions, and 
that you should hasten to intimate to every 
person who may have the audacity to at¬ 
tack peaceable and innocent subjects, who 
manifest no seditious intentions, and carry 
about no signs of revolt, that he shall be 
responsible to me for his couduct in that re¬ 
spect. Vou must exert all your cares to 
relieve peaceable subjects from all vexation, 
and take all necessary measures that they 
may perfectly enjoy my high imperial pro¬ 
tection, and that they who may be guilty 
of such excesses shall be severely punished 
on the spot. 
Let all my subjects be immediately ap¬ 
prised of these commands, and when you 
shall be informed that it is my supreme will 
[Oct. I, 
that you shall take the utmost care not to 
suffer, in contravention of the sublime law 
and of my commands, peaceable and inno¬ 
cent subjects to be exposed to injuries and 
vexations, public or private, and that the 
s'ightest neglect or omission with respect 
to this particular will expose yourselves to 
responsibility; you must act in conformity 
with it, you must execute my commands 
and my sublime will, evince a knowledge 
in necessary matters, and sedulously avoid 
permitting it in any instance to be violated.

month of Siskide, 1236 : that is to say, in 
the middle of August, 1821. 
The conditions demanded by Russia 
of the Porte, since the departure of 
Baron de Strogonoff, are said to be— 
1. The re-establishment of the churches, 
and the repair of the Patriarchal Basilica, 
where the remains of the Patriarch Gregory 
should be deposited in a magnificent tomb. 
2. The restitution of the confiscated pro¬ 
perty of the Greek families whose most 
distinguished individuals have perished in 
the revolution. 
3. The indefinite liberty of the orthodox 
worship, under the protection of the am¬ 
bassadors and consuls of the Emperor of 
Russia, who will, for this purpose, establish 
agents wherever he shall judge it proper 
for the support of the worship of the mem¬ 
bers of the clergy and of the Christians of 
the orthodox church. 
4. By way of security, the occupation 
of the principalities of Moldavia and Wal- 
lachia, and of the Turkish fortresses on the 
right bank of the Danube, by Russian 
troops. 
5. In order the better to ensure the ex¬ 
ecution of the stipulations, the Emperor of 
Russia demands, that one of the ports in 
the Archipelago which he may judge con¬ 
venient shall be delivered up to him, where 
he will station a squadron, the expence of 
which, as well as that of the army of occu¬ 
pation in the ultra Danubian provinces, 
shall be defrayed by the Turkish govern¬ 
ment.
