THE LAST PROCLAMATION.
WE, Nicholas the First, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, and King of all Good Fellows, proclaim:
That we have been insulted by the Turk, whose stony heart we have—on the bended knees of our Christian spirit—supplicated, but to no purpose.
We have, as becomes a Christian autocrat, submitted to have our dearly-beloved Ambassador, Prince Menschikoff, publicly bastinadoed in the streets of Constantinople.
We have allowed Omar Pacha to pull the nose of our dearly-beloved General, Prince Gortschakoff.
