 Franco-Russian Diplomacy, 1810-1812
Because Napoleon needed this treaty to gain Russia's cooperation in the Continental System as well as its promise of neutrality (in regards to his efforts at this time against the British in Spain), he was willing to agree to many provisions that were prejudicial to his Turkish ally.
When the news of Tilsit reached the Porte, the Turks were stunned and upset over the fact that such a treaty had been concluded without their even being invited to participate in decisions, which obviously affected their future.
Nevertheless, Tilsit dealt a huge blow to what little prestige the deposed sultan had left (given the fact that many blamed him solely for committing the empire to the policy of cooperating only with the French).

Under the humiliating terms of the treaty of Kuchuk-Kaynarja that brought an end to the Russo-Ottoman Ware of 1768-74, the Porte abandoned the Tartar khanate in the Crimea, granted autonomy to the trans-Danubian provinces, allowed Russian ships free access to Ottoman waters, and agreed to pay a large war indemnity.
The Treaty of Tilsit, agreed to by Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I in 1808, prepared the ground for the eventual partitioning of Ottoman territory between the two powers.
The treaty was short-lived, but on the strength of it Russia went to war with the Ottoman Empire and, in the Treaty of Bucharest in 1812, acquired Bessarabia and forced concession of autonomy to Serbia, which had been in rebellion against Ottoman rule.

Her long and bloody continental struggle was not for pre-eminence amongst ambitious powers, not a dispute for some accession of territory or momentary political ascendancy, but a deadly conflict to determine whether aristocracy or democracy should predominate, equality or privilege be the principle of European civilization.
The treaty of Tilsit gave Napoleon a commanding position over the potentates of Europe, but it unmasked the war of principles, bringing England and himself, the champions of equality and privileges, into direct contact.
