..:; Of. I his 90 flare om link has ,by enc. itra• rtan the , in %ed. L'is i rHt TO DOR )tf , s ari, the i:nt Ja- lon at to itii ig, !le In go )7- c , nc l a ded with any of the belligerent powers. It was alto refblved, that this determination thould be candidly communicated to thole Power=, to rove the purity of the motives and views of the contrafting parties. But England would not al !iew time for this. Had fhe waited this confi dential communication, fhe might have avoided :thefe intemperate measures which threaten to fpread the flames of war till wider. &fides, it only depended on England, previ oufly, to draw fatisfaftory information from the cor refponden i ce with Denmark, if, inflead of talc. ins hold of two ifolated palrages, which Lord CA twiner, in his firft note, extraeted from Count EFRNSTORres note of the 31ft of December, the Court of London had :dialed to the folemn de claration which it contained : " That it could never have been fuppofed for a moment that Den stark had formed hoftile projefts againft England, or plans that could not fubfift together with the 'maintenance of harmony between the two Crowns, and that the Court of Copenhagen congratulated itfelf on finding an opportunity for contradifting, la the molt pofitive manner, fuch unfounded re ports." This plain and precife Declaration agrees with the language which the underfigned had ufed more than once to Lord Ceara roar, when fpeak ing on that fubje&, and it can fcarcely be con ceived how the Englifh Court, after that decla. ration had bcen received, could conclude from the note of the Minifter of Denmark, " That the en gagements of the Contrafting Powers had for their objell the introduetion of principles of naval r isks, which had never been acknowledged by the tribunals of Europe, and which were of a honile tendency again& England," The conflation is totally falfe, and is not authorifed even more by the enntents of the anfwer of the Danifh Court, than the other unmerited reproach made to it, " of having renewed an alliance of a hoftile ten dency againft England, and of being actively employed in armaments with that view."—Never were meafures more evidently defenfive, than the meafures of the Court of Copenhagen, and their fpirit will be mikonceived ftill lcfs, when it is foundered what menacing demonfiration that Court had experienced from the Britith Govern ment, on occation of the affair with the Freya frigate, before the above meafures were retorted to. England's arbitrary conduit on this occafion is naturally explained by the pretenfions which it bad made for Tome time pall, and which it has repeatedly renewed in the notes of Lord Cl/ILYS. 'CAT, at the orpence of every commercial and aaval power. The Britifh Government has, in the prefent more than in any former war, ufurped the Sovereigno of the few, and by arbitrarily fram ing a naval code, which it would be difficult to unite with the true principles of the law of na tions, it exercifes, over the other friendly and neu- mil Powers, an ufurpcd jurifdiaion, the legality of whifh it maintains, and which it confiders as an imprefcriptible right, fanaioned by all the tri bunals of Europe. The Sovereigns have never conceded to England the priviledge of calling their futijeas before its tribunals, and of fubjcaing them to its laws, fit cafes where the abufe of power has got the better of equity, and which, alas! are but too frequent. The neutral Powers have always had the precaution of addrefGng to it the mole energetic reclamation, and protefts, but experience has ever proved their remonftrances fruitlers ; and it is not furprifing that, after fo many repeated ate of opppreffion, they have re folved tb find a remedy againft it, and for that purpofe to eftablifh a well-arranged convention, which fixes their rights, and which places them on a proper level even with the powers at war. The naval alliance, in the manner as it has juft been confolidated, was intended to lead to this falutary end, and the King hefitates not to declare to his Britannic Majefty, that he has again found in it his own principles, tharhe is fully convinced of its neceftity and utility, and that be bat formally acceded to she convention, which has been concluded 0.1 the 16th of December loft year, between the Courts of Ruflia, Denmark, and Sweden. His !.I::;t.fiy is, therefore, among the number of the el.r.trafting parties, and has bound himfelf, in plality, not only to tale a &eel, flare in all th e remit evbicb Me facie of the !Ventral P but alto, in virtue of is engage ments, to maintain :bat connetlion by limb powerful as the impulfc of circureflances may The note of Lord CARYSTORT mentions t fithjet9, to which his Majelty believes himfelf obi . ged to anfwer, nor even to have a right entertaining an opinion with rerpat to it.- I! , cre exit dircuffions between the Courts of Pe ?-rfhurgli and London, which have by no means 4:17 thing to do with the ha irier. which the latter hae interwoven with it. But in the fame meafure ta which the condui of Praia has hitherto been direFted by the tnoit blamelefs impartiality, the how's condua will henceforth be direacd by his • regard for engagements, which in themfelves are a proof of it. To aipuladons which contain no !Ling hoftile, and which the fafety of his fubjeas •quired, he owes all the means which Paori. BItNCT has laid in his power. Unple.:rant as the extremes may be to which England has proceed ed, yet his Majegy doubts not the polaility of a fpecdy return to conciliating and peaceable dif ofitions, and he relies on the fentiments of equity which, on former occafions, he has had the advan tage of meeting with in his Britannic Nlajelly. It is only by revoking, and by entirely taking off the embargo, that agairs can be brought to their former fituation ; and it is for England to judge whether it ought to come to that refolution, in order to offer means to the Neutral Powers for proceeding to thole communications which they intended to make, But while thofe meafures exit, which have been retorted to from hatred againft a common princi ple, and againft an alliance which can no longer be shaken, the Bylife refolution, which mull be the confequence, will be the neceffary refult of the Treaty, and the underligned is ordered to declare to the Minifter of his Britannic Majefty,, that the King, while he expreffes his concern at events of which he has not been the caufe, will fecretly fulfil the engagements prefcribed to him by Treaties. The underfigned, thus executing his orders, has the honour of affuring Lord CA.. RYSFORT . of hishio efteem. (Signed) HAVOWITZ. PRIVATE LETTER, Vienna, Feb. zr. The following note was this day fent, from the Chancery of State, to all Ambaffadors and Agents from States of the Empire, retiding here :—" The French Government has made it an ex prefs con dition of the hells armiftice for 3o days, that, during that period, not only the negociations for peace with Auftria fhould be finifhed, but that the EMPEROR, as Chief of the Empire, fhould likewife conclude a peace for the German Em pire, as the bcft means of obviating the prolizities infeparable from a Congrefs of peace for the Em. pire.
