The Manifesto of Prince Dimitrie Cantemir of Moldavia (1710–1711) holds immense historical significance for Romanian history. The fact that this text, which is connected to the Ottoman-Russian War of 1710–1711, was translated and published in the British press of the time underscores the growing interest among Western chancelleries in the “Oriental Question” and the rise of Russia under Tsar Peter the Great (1682–1725). Dimitrie Cantemir’s Manifesto, which urged his subjects to revolt against the Ottomans and secede from the Ottoman Empire, reached two British newspapers through different channels. While for The British Mercury, the Manifesto arrived in London through Holland, for The Dublin Gazette, the Manifesto was received directly from the Russian camp.
