SCALETTA. GIO. BARON de FRIMONT. ACT of the Turkish Government, granting to Sardinian Note Officielle de La Porte, remise à Son Excellence PAmbassadeur d'Angleterre. (Traduction.) SON Excellence l'Ambassadeur Extraordinaire et Ministre Plénipotentiaire de la Cour d'Angleterre, qui est l'Amie la plus affectionnée et la plus particulière de la Sublime Porte, le très-distingué Lord Strangford, Notre Ami, residant à Constantinople, ayant fait instance, en qualité de Médiateur, au Nom de Sa Majesté le Roi de Sardaigne, que La Sublime Porte, qui vient de conclure un Traité avec la Cour de Sardaigne pour lier, pour la première fois, amitié entre elles, veuille bien accorder aux Bâtimens Marchands Sardes la permission de faire le Commerce de la Mer Noire; et vû, qu'à l'exception des Puissances connues d'être autorisées, en vertu des Traités, à se rendre par l'embouchure de la Mer Noire aux Echelles de la Russie, la même permission accordée par le passé, par le Gouvernement Ottoman aux Bâtimens Marchands de quelques autres Puissances Amies, produit des avantages aux deux Parties, il a plu à La Sublime Porte d'accorder aux Bâtimens Marchands Sardes la permission de naviguer dans la Mer Noire, et cela à commencer du jour que, par la Grâce du Très-Haut, l'échange des Ratifications aura lieu. Ainsi, à l'arrivée désormais dans ce Port, des Bâtimens Marchands Sardes aussi, soit qu'ils viennent de la Mer Blanche pour passer dans la Mer Noire, soit qu'ils viennent de la Mer Noire pour passer dans la Mer Blanche, il sera pris connoissance de leurs chargemens (ce qui veut dire, par Manifeste ou autre Communication Ministérielle), par le canal d'Officiers préposés à cet effet, et lorsque, dans le cas de nécessité, Constantinople aura besoin des Marchandises non prohibées qu'is exporteront et importeront, elles seront achetées à leur juste valeur, sans que l'on ait à faire, de part ni d'autre, des propositions qui ne correspondent pas aux prix courans. C'est pour en informer M. l'Ambassadeur Notre Ami, ainsi que pour lui renouveler les assurances de l'estime et de la considération que nous avons pour Sa Personne, que la présente Note Officielle a été rédigée, et lui est remise, ce 20 Safer, 1239.-(25 Octobre, 1823) [See Note annexed to the Treaty of Commerce, of the same date, between Turkey and Sardinia.
