+ The Eastern Qi33tion--II )w the
Quarrel BeganThe
ostensible grounds of dispute between
Ittmh and Turkey ait the outset were,?
the demands of the former for a more efficient
protection by the Intter, of a few lazy and s
dirty Geek priests in the Holy Iamd?of a
guaranty for the security of the Itusso Greek
church in Turkey,?and for the expulsion of
political refugees harbored at Constantinople
and other places. As th* Porte had already
guaranteed to Franco in behalf of the Latin
Church, the restoiation of the key to the
principal gate at Bethlehem; and'had replaced
at the samolnstance.i certain silver star in the
grotto of the Nativity, with a Latin inscription,
(which had been displaced in 1817:) and
bad consented that the cupula over the Sacred
Sepulchre should be constructed in the
ancient and not in the Byzantine order of
architecture ;?and as, moreover, the Porte had
granted to Austria, consequent upon the
Montenegrin insurrection of which she com- d:
plained?the harber of Kleeck an 1 the th
Sutorian ports, with a control of the Bosnia of
Catholics, and a few commercial facilities,?
While at the same time the Sultan was getting
more tliiek as the schoolboys say, ^
with the clever Lnglisli ambassador?Russia u'
supposed it a good opportunity for asserting
some of her own old claims of a similar
character. Sho accordingly sort Prince Men- ^
cliikof? to Constantinople to make a parade tl
of tile following points. "Look you! oh Silltan
Medul Abjid 'illustrious Padkjha of all
the Mohammedan faithful?my august ot
master Nicholas, the transparent protector
of <dl the true believers of Gratco Christen- nc
doni, not wishing that France or England .
should take the wind out of his sails,demads
these things. 1st, a common possession with n
the I atin believers of the key of the g ite j
at Betholem, of the silver star on the subtcr- j
nnenn alter, and of the rites of worsliiti i .
lit
with a supremacy over all interlopers; 2d,
the immediate repair of the cupola of the sepulchre,
which lets the rain in on the h ire \Y
heads of the devout, and the walling up or an
destruction of certain har ins which overlook \vi
That sepulchre, sometimes to the scandal of ne
the monks and pilgrims; and 3dly, and finally mi
n Scncd or convention for the guaranty of ro
the privileges of ail the Catholic (Jreek foi
worshipers anu their priests and their sane- srs
'narks, both in Turkey and in the Bast." tin
"But," added the good Mcnchickoff, "since cn
you have been considerably remiss in this
part of your duties hitherto, my august master
proposes to take most of this trouble otT M
your hands and see to it hi in self1." To lm
which the Padisha, the mighty and the illus- wl
triousthrough his chief Vizier for Foreign ha
affairs?may he always he blessed ! replied,
that there was nobody in the world for no
whom he, the Father of the Faithful, had
an intenser admiration and respect than for
his amiable friend the most pious Autocrat,
Guardian and Protector of all the Russians, ne
hut that he could hardly consent to his do- 8'f
innnds. As for the Holy Shrines and Holy
Places he had attended to them as well as coi
iVe coctldi considering the several classes of : ?'n
vagabonds lay and clerionl, with whom he set
had to deal, and, as to the Christians, he had i Inn
alVAiy* token the best caro of th*.m, even I lel'l
fo cutting their heads off when thy were tol
refractory, and he always meant to, being very au<
mueh obliged numnwhile to his illustrious en<
Brother, for his kind intentions and otters no
of assis'ance>?but he had rather not, if it cn
were ali the same to him. Besides, the in no
fleimsl affairs of Tur ey were in his keeping, ; mi
and He Would tliank his illustrious Brother !
with the profcundest deference,if he would j ed
just mind hi* own business:" Menchikoff , It
then,in the blandest way,requested precisely j
the same things, only iu different terms, and re]
the Saltan made precisely the saine answer, of
only in different terms. Menehikoff pot he
huffy, and threatened to go hoitie.?the am- er
baasadorof Austria thought he had better cf
not; Count Nosselrode wrote a plaintive, 4*C
. yet furious, despatch to all tho foreign gov- nil
crnments calling tho Sultan names and di<
, threatening to trounce him if he did not wn
cotnj to reason in eight days; Franco re- f?T
plied epunkily that I herb were two who
could play at trouncing, and that the good to
Sultm was his friend ; Kngiand remarked; int
' Gentlemen, do not let us tread upon each
other, there is enough of Turkey for all of
us, and- let us have an amicable talk over i,n<
the whole matter. They accordingly went
to work at Vienna, and tulked,?and then ,,n'
