CORRESPONDENCE respecting Refugees from Hungary within the Turkish Dominions.-1851.* SIR, [Continued from Vol. XXXVIII. Page 1266.] No. 164.-Viscount Palmerston to Sir Stratford Canning. Foreign Office, January 2, 1851. I HAVE to acquaint you that Her Majesty's Government approve of the course which you have pursued, as reported in your despatch of the 5th ultimo, in consequence of the delay of the Porte in returning an answer to your inquiries respecting the detention of General Dembinski. H.E. Sir Stratford Canning. I am, &c. No. 165.-Sir Stratford Canning to Visc. Palmerston.—(Rec. Jan. 20.) MY LORD, Constantinople, January 4, 1851. AALI Pasha sent me word to-day by M. Frederick Pisani, that he had formally declared to the Austrian Chargé d'Affaires, that if the Vienna post which is now due, or that of the ensuing week, should not bring the long-expected answer of the Austrian Cabinet respecting General Dembinski, the Porte would allow that officer to leave its territory without further delay for whatever country he might prefer. I have, &c. Viscount Palmerston, G.C.B. STRATFORD CANNING. No. 166.-Sir Stratford Canning to Visc. Palmerston.-(Rec. Feb. 3.) I HAVE reason to believe that the Turkish Ministers have at length made up their minds to release General Dembinski without further delay. Aali Pasha pledged his word to me that if the answer expected from Vienna did not arrive by the last Austrian post, the decision of the Porte would be no longer deferred. The post which came in 3 days ago did not bring that answer, and I have therefore called upon his Excellency to redeem his pledge. He has assured me in his reply to-day, that the Porte is going to take the Sultan's pleasure for the immediate release of the General. Viscount Palmerston, G.C.B. SIR, I have, &c. STRATFORD CANNING. No. 167.-Viscount Palmerston to Sir Stratford Canning. Foreign Office, February 7, 1851. I HAVE to acquaint your Excellency that Her Majesty's Government have received from various quarters memorials praying the interposition of Her Majesty's Government to obtain the release of M. Kossuth and his companions, now detained in Asia Minor; and * Laid before Parliament, 1852. I have to instruct your Excellency to bring this circumstance under the notice of the Turkish Government, as proving the deep and general interest which is felt by the people of this country on the subject to which these memorials relate. Your Excellency should at the same time observe that a general and hearty support was afforded by the British Nation to Her Majesty's Government in regard to the measures adopted last year to assist the Sultan in declining to comply with the demands which were made upon him with respect to the Polish and Hungarian refugees; but that support was founded upon the impression that the Sultan, if duly assisted by Great Britain, would act a thoroughly independent part in regard to those refugees. The Turkish Government would do well to remember that Great Britain can act efficiently in support of the Turkish Empire only as far as the British Government may be backed by public opinion in this country. HE. Sir Stratford Canning. I am, &c. No. 168.-Sir Stratford Canning to Visc'. Palmerston.-(Rec. Feb. 8.) A GENOESE ship, having 270 Polish refugees on board and chartered at the Porte's expense, is now leaving the harbour of Constantinople for that of Liverpool, where its unfortunate inmates, though having in view a further voyage to the United States of America, are obliged to touch in consequence of not having the means of direct conveyance to their final place of destination. I learn from Aali Pasha that 240 of these emigrants have received from the Porte a sufficient sum of money to defray the expenses of their voyage, and to leave them in possession of a month's subsistence after reaching the coast of England. They are also provided with an American passport for The United States. The remaining 32 received a similar amount of assistance, partly from the Porte and partly from another source. They went on board to replace as many Hungarians who had come with the residue of the emigration from Shumla, and wished to form a colony in the Sultan's dominions. 3 These 30 Hungarians with 36 others of the same nation collected here, and looking to M. Kossuth for advice and guidance, are now also on the point of embarking for England in the Oriental steampacket, the Porte having ordered them away, notwithstanding my representations in their favour, and having at the same time supplied them with money to defray the expenses of their passage, and to provide for their personal wants on first arriving at Liverpool. It would be difficult for any one to contemplate the fate of these poor emigrants without a strong feeling of compassion. They have not, it is true, been left without assistance, and they have sometimes |
