APPENDIX X. PAGE 463.

TWENTY-FOUR Protocols preceded the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The Twenty-third-often cited on account of "the wish” that an attempt at friendly arbitration should be made before having recourse to war-is as follows:

(TRANSLATION.)

"Protocol No. 23.-Meeting of April 14, 1856.

"Present: The Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France, Great Britain, "Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, Turkey.

"The Protocol of the preceding sitting and its Annex are read "and approved.

"Count Walewski remarks that it remains for the Congress to "decide upon the draft of Declaration, of which he indicated the "bases in the last meeting, and he demands of the Plenipotentiaries "who had reserved to themselves to take the orders of their respective "Courts in regard to this matter, whether they are authorized to "assent to it.

"Count Buol declares that Austria is happy to concur in an Act "of which she recognizes the salutary influence, and that he has "been furnished with necessary powers to adhere to it.

[ocr errors]

"Count Orloff expresses himself in the same sense: he adds, "however, that, in adopting the proposition made by the first Plenipotentiary of France, his Court cannot bind itself to maintain the principle of the abolition of privateering and to defend it against "Powers who might not think proper to accede to it.

"The Plenipotentiaries of Prussia, of Sardinia, and of Turkey, "having equally given their assent, the Congress adopts the draft "annexed to the present Protocol, and appoints the next meeting for "the signature of it.

"The Earl of Clarendon having demanded permission to lay "before the Congress a proposition which it appears to him ought "to be favourably received, states that the calamities of war are still "too present to every mind not to make it desirable to seek out "every expedient calculated to prevent their return; that a stipu"lation had been inserted in Article VII. of the Treaty of Peace, recommending that in case of difference between the Porte and one or more of the other signing Powers, recourse should be had "to the mediation of a friendly State before resorting to force.

"The first Plenipotentiary of Great Britain conceives that this "happy innovation might receive a more general application, and "thus become a barrier against conflicts which frequently only break "forth because it is not always possible to enter into explanation "and to come to an understanding.

"He proposes, therefore, to agree upon a resolution calculated to "afford to the maintenance of peace that chance of duration here

"after, without prejudice, however, to the independence of Govern

"ments.

"Count Walewski declares himself authorized to support the idea "expressed by the first Plenipotentiary of Great Britain; he gives the assurance that the Plenipotentiaries of France are wholly disposed "to concur in the insertion in the Protocol of a wish which, being fully in accordance with the tendencies of our epoch, would not "in any way fetter the free action of Governments.

[ocr errors]

"Count Buol would not hesitate to concur in the opinion of the "Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain and of France, if the resolution "of the Congress is to have the form indicated by Count Walewski, "but he could not take, in the name of his Court, an absolute engagement calculated to limit the independence of the Austrian "Cabinet.

[ocr errors]

"The Earl of Clarendon replies that each Power is and will be "the sole judge of the requirements of its honour and of its interests; "that it is by no means his intention to restrict the authority of the "Governments, but only to afford them the opportunity of not having recourse to arms whenever differences may be adjusted by "other means.

"Baron Manteuffel gives the assurance that the King, his august master, completely shares the ideas set forth by the Earl of "Clarendon; that he therefore considers himself authorized to "adhere to them, and to give them the utmost development which "they admit of.

"Count Orloff, while admitting the wisdom of the proposal made "to the Congress, considers that he must refer to his Court respect"ing it, before he expresses the opinion of the Plenipotentiaries of "Russia.

"Count Cavour, before he gives his opinion, wishes to know "whether, in the intention of the author of the proposition, the wish "to be expressed by the Congress would extend to military inter"ventions directed against de facto Governments, and quotes, as an "instance, the intervention of Austria in the Kingdom of Naples in "1821.

"Lord Clarendon replies that the wish of the Congress should "allow of the most general application; he observes that if the good "offices of another Power had induced the Government of Greece "to respect the laws of neutrality, France and England would very probably have abstained from occupying the Piraeus with their 66 troops. He refers to the efforts made by the Cabinet of Great "Britain in 1823, in order to prevent the armed intervention which "took place at that time in Spain.

"Count Walewski adds, that there is no question of stipulating "for a right or of taking an engagement; that the wish expressed (( by the Congress cannot in any case oppose limits to the liberty of judgment of which no Power can divest itself in questions affecting its dignity; that there is therefore no inconvenience in attach

“ing a general character to the idea entertained by the Earl of "Clarendon, and in giving to it the most extended application.

"Count Buol says that Count Cavour, in speaking in another "sitting of the occupation of the Legations by Austrian troops, forgot that other foreign troops have been invited into the Roman "States. To-day, while speaking of the occupation by Austria of "the Kingdom of Naples in 1821, he forgets that that occupation was the result of an understanding between the Five Great Powers "assembled at the Congress of Laybach. In both cases, he attri"butes to Austria the merit of an initiative and of a spontaneous "action which the Austrian Plenipotentiaries are far from claiming "for her.

[ocr errors]

"The intervention, adverted to by the Plenipotentiary of Sar"dinia, took place, he adds, in consequence of the discussions of the Congress of Laybach; it therefore comes within the scope of the "ideas expressed by Lord Clarendon. Similar cases might perhaps 66 recur, and Count Buol does not allow that an intervention carried "into effect in consequence of an agreement come to between the "Five Great Powers, can become the object of remonstrances of a "State of the second order.

"Count Buol approves the proposition in the shape that Lord "Clarendon has presented it, as having a humane object; but he "could not assent to it if it were wished to give to it too great an "extension, or to deduce from it consequences favourable to de facto "Governments, and to doctrines which he cannot admit.

[ocr errors]

"He desires besides that the Conference, at the moment of terminating its labours, should not find itself compelled to discuss "irritating questions, calculated to disturb the perfect harmony "which has not ceased to prevail among the Plenipotentiaries.

"Count Cavour declares that he is fully satisfied with the expla"nations which he has elicited, and he accedes to the proposition "submitted to the Congress.

"Whereupon the Plenipotentiaries do not hesitate to express, "in the name of their Governments, the wish that States between "which any serious misunderstanding may arise, should, before ap"pealing to arms, have recourse, as far as circumstances might allow, "to the good offices of a friendly Power.

"The Plenipotentiaries hope that the Governments not repre"sented at the Congress will unite in the sentiment which has in"spired the wish recorded in the present Protocol."

"General Treaty between Her Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, the King of Prussia, the Emperor of "Russia, the King of Sardinia, and the Sultan. Signed at Paris, "March 30, 1856. [Ratifications exchanged at Paris, April 27, "1856].

"In the Name of Almighty God.

"Their Majesties the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great "Britain and Ireland, the Emperor of the French, the Emperor of "all the Russias, the King of Sardinia, and the Emperor of the "Ottomans, animated by the desire of putting an end to the calami"ties of war, and wishing to prevent the return of the complications "which occasioned it, resolved to come to an understanding with "His Majesty the Emperor of Austria as to the bases on which peace might be re-established and consolidated, by securing, "through effectual and reciprocal guarantees, the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire.

"For this purpose their said Majesties named as their Pleni"potentiaries, that is to say:

"Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain "and Ireland, the Earl of Clarendon and Baron Cowley; His Ma"jesty the Emperor of Austria, the Count of Buol-Schauenstein "and Baron de Hübner; His Majesty the Emperor of the French, "Count Colonna Walewski and Baron de Bourqueney; His "Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, Count Orloff and Baron "de Brunnow; His Majesty the King of Sardinia, the Count of "Cavour and the Marquis de Villa-Marina; and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ottomans, Mouhammed Emin Aali Pasha and "Mehemmed Djemil Bey; which Plenipotentaries assembled in "Congress at Paris.

"An understanding having been happily established between "them, their Majesties the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great "Britain and Ireland, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the "French, the Emperor of all the Russias, the King of Sardinia, and "the Emperor of the Ottomans, considering that, in the interest of Europe, His Majesty the King of Prussia, a signing party to the "Convention of the 13th of July, 1841, should be invited to par"ticipate in the new arrangements to be adopted, and appreciating "the value that the concurrence of His said Majesty would add to "a work of general pacification, invited him to send Plenipotentiaries "to the Congress.

"In consequence, His Majesty the King of Prussia named as his "Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:

"The Baron de Manteuffel and the Count of Hatzfeldt Wilden"burg-Schoenstein.

"The Plenipotentiaries, after having exchanged their full powers. "found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following "Articles :
