"Sardinia, by a treaty dated the 26th ultimo,
has acceded to the Treaty of Alliance, con-
cluded on the 10th April, 1854, between
Great Britain and France, for the protection
of the Ottoman Empire. This Power is thus
placed in a state of hostility towards Russia.

As a natural consequence, you will have to
extend for the future to Sardinian Subjects,
and especially to the Sardinian Navy, the as-
sistance and good offices that you were in-
structed, at the outset of this War, to afford to
the subjects of the Queen's August Ally His
Majesty the Emperor of the French; and you
will be careful to establish with the Sardinian
Agents, or the Commanders of Sardinian Ships
of War, the same friendly relations and the
same concert in all that affects the interests of
the War as with the Agents and Officers of the
Emperor of the French.

You will acknowledge the receipt of this
despatch.

I am, &c.,
(Signed) CLARENDON.
