ister from thc Capital. Although
it was to return violence for 'vio- 'k -lence,
the Sublime Porte, ever
guided by the love of humanity,
desired, however, to remove the
misfortunes of war ; she asked
ne w explanations of the Russian
Minister ; she fixed to him a terra
for the entire elucidation of. this
affair, in hopes that the court of
Russia would proceed, in time of
peace as in time of war, in a man- -
ner becoming a power; and that
at least not to have to blush before
other courts,, it would respect po-'.
lukaland civil laws.
