" Wilna, May 7 (19),1812. gi MY LORD Dugs—The Count de Narbonne has given me the dispatch which your Excellency confi ded to him : I have not delayed a moment to place it before the Emperor, His Majesty, always faithful to the Fne of conduct which he originally marked for himself, always persevering in a mere system of de fence, in short, always more moderate in proportion as the developement of his power enables him to re pulse with greater vigdur such attempts as might be made against the interests of his Empire, and the dignity of his Crow% is satisfied to adhere to the wish' with which you, my Lord• Duke, conclude the inte resting cornunnication of your Court. Constantly. seeking to prove how much he has it at heart to avoid every thing which might infuse into his connexion. with France a spirit of animosity and acerbity, such as would endanger its continuance, he has directed me not to enter into any refutation of alledged.gric vances, nor to oppose assertions which, for the must part, are grounded upon imputed facts, quite desti tute of probability, and upon hypotheses A 1 toge t her gratuitous. The dispatches addressed to Pr ince Ku. rakin, by the Baron de Serdobin, have partly anti- . cipated the answer to all the accusations which have been made. 14. - They have represented, in its true light, the loyal conduct which the Emperor has observed in all his relations with France. They have given, with re spect to our armaments, explanations, confirmed in such a degree, as appear to have even outstripped , the hopes of the - Emperor Napoleon. Since, not withstanding the menacing niovements of his armies beyond a line, where for the security of our frontiers, they ought to have stopped, affairs continue here in the same state as at the time of the departure of the. last courier. Indeed, not a .single man has enterear the territory of Prussia, or that of the Duchy of Ware- Saw, and no hew. obstacle has tended on our part to prevent the continuance of peace. SO On the Contrary, the last instructions which Prince Kurakin has received furnish him with ample' means of terminating all diffeteaces, and of opening the negotiation which your Court desires. " We have learned with satisfaction the reception which our propositions have met with on the part of the Emperor N. poleon. The official answer which your Excellency than give to them, and which we are desired by Prince Kurakin to expect, will defini tively settle the imrortant question of peace cr war. , " The moderation which marks what I have now the honour of addressing to ycu, offere you, my Lord Duke, ample security that any overture that may be' ,made of a pacific nature, will be anxiously accepted. .His Majesty is much pleased with the step which has ken taken with respect to the British Government. He-is grateful for the attention of the_ Emperor Na. poleon in informing him thereof. He will always duly appreciate the sacrifices which that Sovereign shall make in order to promote the conclusion of a general peace, for the attainment of which great and attractive object no sacrifices can, in his opinion, be too considerable.—l have the honour, &e.
