further complications, Britain and France followed suit. The war in the
Crimea resulted, which ended with the Treaty of Paris, signed on the 30th
March 1856 by representatives of Britain, France, Turkey, Russia,
Austria, Prussia and Sardinia. The Treaty contained an article, directed
ag-ainst interference by the European signatories in the internal affairs of
Turkey or between the Sultan and his subjects, which clearly signified
the failure of the Russian claim to extend protection to all Orthodox
Christians in Turkey. The Convention of London of 1841 was renewed
with certain slight additions. By other important articles of the Treaty
Turkey was made a member of the European concert and admitted to the
benefits of European international law, and the independence and territorial
integrity of the Ottoman Empire were guaranteed. The Black Sea was
neutralised and thrown open to the merchant flag of all nations, while at
the same time the possession of war vessels in its waters and even of
arsenals on its shores by any power, even Russia or Turkey, was inter
dicted.
The effect of the Tanzimat was not, unfortunately, so immediate or
so great as had been anticipated in the first flush of European satisfaction
at the supposed regeneration of Turkey. Instances were not wanting,

efforts of the local Turkish authorities to enforce greater and more
general respect for the Government on the part of the indigenous popula
tion, not excluding the Arab tribes, and to improve the provincial finances
or perhaps only to line their own pockets more handsomely—by a
a trictei collection of the revenue. This coercive policy was in part
successful, foi moie than one sanctuary of violence and crime was
brought undei control; but it provoked incessant disorder evervwhere, and
it seems on the whole, accompanied as it was by a total neglect of
economic and commercial considerations, to have tended rather to the
yuin than to the betterment of the country.
