them with the power and the means of choofing a new Khan, in the room of Sahib-Gheray, and of eftablishing an administration analogous to this ftate of affairs. It was to attain this end that our military forces were put in motion; that a confiderable body of our troops were ordered, notwithstanding the feverity of the feafon, to enter the Crimea, where they were fubfifted at our expence, and obliged to exert the power of our arms for the fupport of the good caufe, in order to recall fuch of the Tartars as were eitranged from it by their revolt. The publick is not ignorant that a rupture between Ruflia and the Ottoman Porte had very near enfued upon this occafion; but, thanks to the Divine afliitance, we difpofed matters in fuch a manner, that the Ottoman Porte again acknowledged the independence of the Tartars, and the validity of the election of Schaghin-Gheray, their lawful fovereign. Notwithstanding all the inconveniencies above-mentioned, as long as we were fuftained and animated by the hope of re-establishing the repofe necellary to the advantage and prefervation of good neighbourhood with the Ottoman empire, we regarded the Crimea according to the tenour and letter of the treaties, as a free and independent country, confining ourfelf folely to appeafing the troubles which prevailed amongst them: from our love of peace we found in this conduct a fufficient recompence for the great expences incurred by it; but we were foon undeceived in this refpect by the fresh revolt occafioned in the Crimea lait year, the encouragement of which always flowed from the fame fource. We have been obliged, in confequence, to have recourfe again to confiderable armaments, and to caufe troops to enter into the Crimea and the Cuban, whose presence is become indifpenfable for maintaining tranquillity and good order in the adjacent countries. The fad experience of every day demonitrates more clearly, that is the fovereignty of the Ottoman Porte in the Crimea was a perpetual fource of difcord between our two empires, the independence of the Tartars expofes us to fubjects of contention no lefs numerous and important, fince the long fervi tude to which that people have been accustomed has rendered the greater part of the individuals incapable of valuing the advantages of the new fituation procured for them by that independence of which we fought to give them the enjoyment; and which, laying us under the neceffity of being always armed, occafions not only great expences, but alfo expofes our troops to inevitable and continual fatigues.

The efforts they made to extinguith the flame of difcord, in fuccouring the well-intentioned of that nation, expofed them to the viclences of the feditious and ill-intentioned, whom we were willing to leave unpunished, in order to avoid even the fhadow of an act of fovereignty, fo long as we could cherish the leaft hope of at length reftoring good order, and preventing by this means the elfential intercits of our empire from being injured.

But to our great regret all these measures, dictated folely by our love of humanity, tended only to bring upon us lofles and damages, which we have the more fenfibly at heart, as they affected our fubjects. The lofs in men is not to be appreciated; we will not attempt to climate it;

that in money, according to the most moderate calculations, amounts to upwards of twelve millions of roubles. To thefe particulars is to be added another of the utmost importance, both in its object, and with regard to its confequences: we have juft been informed, that the Porte has begun to lay claim to the exercife of fovereignty in the Tartar dominions, by fending one of their officers, at the head of a detachment of troops, to the Ifland of Taman, who has even proceeded to cause the officer to be publickly beheaded, who was fent to him by the Khan Schaghin-Geray, with a commiffion only to enquire of him what were the motives for his arrival in that island; and what evidently proves the nature of the miffion of this commandant of the troops is, that he made no difficulty in declaring openly to the inhabitants of Taman, that he looked upon them as fubjects of the Porte. This decifive, though unexpected step, convincing us of the inutility of the facrifices we had made upon the last peace, annuls in confequence the engagements we had contracted with the fole intention of firmly eitablithing the freedom and independence of the Tartars, and fufficiently authorizes us to enter again into the enjoyment of those rights which we had lawfully acquired by conqueft; the more fo, as it is the only means remaining for us to fecure hereafter a folid and permanent peace between the two empires. Animated, therefore, with a fincere defire of confirming and maintaining the last peace concluded with the Porte, by preventing the continual difputes which the affairs of the Crimea produced, our duty to ourself, and the preservation of the fecurity of our empire, equally demand our taking the firm refolution to put an end, once for all, to the troubles in the Crimea; and for this purpote we re-unite to our empire the peninfula of Crimea, the Ifland of Taman, and all the Cuban, as a juft indemnification for the lofes fuftained, and the expences we have been obliged to incur in maintaining the peace and wel fare of thefe territories.

In declaring to the inhabitants of thofe countrie, by the prefent manifefto, that fuch is our imperial pleafire, we promife them, for us and our fucceffors in the Imperial throne of Ruffia, that they fhall be treated upon an equality with our ancient fubjects; and that, in taking them under our high protection, we will defend againit all people their perfons, their eftates, their tem ples, and the religion they profefs; that they hall enjoy the moft abfolute liberty of confcience, without the leaft reftriction, in the public exercife of their worship and their ceremonies; and that not only the nation in general, but alfo each individual in particular, fhall participate in all the advantages enjoyed by our ancient fubjects. But we alfo expect, from the gratitude of our new fabjects, that, touched with thefe favours, they will be fenfible of the value of this fortunate revolution, which removes them from a convulfed ftate of difturbances and diffenfions to one of entire fecurity and perfect tranquillity under the protection of the laws; and that, ftriving to imitate the fubmiffion, zeal, and fidelity of those who have long had the happinefs of living under our government, they will render themselves worthy of our imperial favour, beneficence, and protec tion.-Given at our imperial refidence of St. Pe
