During thefe proceedings, a Minifter, fent by the e _ • , Znoperor of RuiGa to treat for the fame important ihjea, in concert with his Mayarres Governmetas so• induced, by the artifices of the enemy, to figs a t W. ate treaty, on terms equally repugnant to the ur and intereas of his Imperial MAjetly. •. • A . l , nmoved by this uneipetied event, the Cul houtinned to negotiate precifely on the fame princi lilts as bdors.

Not only did it take upon hfelf to change at its own will the hafts of the Ne sociatinn with Great Britain, but violated, in Points Sill more important, every principle of good faith with Ruffle. The chief inducement offered to , that PoWet as the price of all the fatrifices extorted -43 ber &Wilier, had been the prefervatinn of Ger- Aquar.,.--Yer, before the deeilioa of Ruffia on this 24 1 5 iiicy could be known. France bad already anni- ° Tii'fetid the whole frame and cooftitotion of the '..German Empire ; bad reduced under her own yoke Ltrge proportion of the ttates and provinces or Vemmany ; and, not content with this open contempt at ObkigaliCA• fo recently contraited, had at the fame time innigated the Porte to mascara direely ibbverave of her fubtifting engagements with Ruins. *bile filth a conduit was purfued towards his Ms, jests , . towards his Allies, and towards all indepen dent Powers. there appeared fo little hope of any tavourable iffue to the Negociation, that his MA : jsirr's Plenipotentiaries demanded their palliorts to Annan to England. • This didiaud Wit itt firik eluded by an untifual and szplaiad delay, Tied the French Government af ,terwards, by focus material conceffions, accompanied with intimationsthat others of ilillgreatercoofequence !sight be the refult of further difcufGon, procured a renewal of the conferences, which were protraatd from day to day, till at length it was announced at Paris that the Emperor of Raffia had indignantly re- jelled the unauthorifed andfeparate treaty figoed by his Minifter. actlifetieenie of this important event, the • ipapa g ti afiorances were given to his Majetty's Mi that France was now prepared to make (mi. Aces to a great extent, in order, by (enuring peace Arltb Great Britaini to re.cliablifh the tranquillity of * world. 'the 444 of thole ifurances appeared, however, to be, that of engaging his Mayarry in a feparate • 10etclufion of his Allies; a propofal his wife bad rejected in the outlet, and 115efing RUlief. *desk of at a time when the eiaserniest, RAa had impoled on him an increafed obligation not to reparate his intereffs from thole of fo faithful an Ally. To their infidious overtures, his iltajarrx Beadily tefafed to Wien ; but he took the alba effsaual method to avoid all appearance of tie ,l4, sad to acoelerate, if poftble, the favourable Me of the negotiation. 'Tie confidential intercourfe which he bad conflantly maintained with Ruffia, enabled his bfaisstx to fpecify the terms on which * that power might be obtained ; and his "Vi raga inffrated to Rate to France, :01iddiiitin to his own demands, thofe of his Ally, to reduce them into diffinft articles, 4nd even to con. dude on thole grounds a provifional treaty, to take Oft.* whenever Ruffia Solid Rguify her *ml:floe. This form of nesociating was p after fome objec- Cons, acceded to by Francs. Terms were now of fered to his MA)ISTY more *early approaching than 1,444 to the original barn of association ; but thefe acre Bill far (bort of what his Marssre bad uni formly mulled on, and was now more than ever en• titled to sepia ; and the dc,:iflve tejeEtion of the jute demands of RufDa, as well as of the conditions propofed by his Males ry in behalf of his other allies, left to his MAJSSTY no other cootie than that of or dering his Minifler Ito terminate the difcuMon, and Worn to England. The foregoing fhort and (link expofition of fags Rands in need of no comments The hill overtures which led to negociatios were made by the enemy, and they were accepted by his MAPSTY in the lin eerell fpirit of peace. Every opening which teemed to afford the Mott dill ant profpea of accommodation has been - anxionfly embraced, nor was the negocia tirs boaUy broken off while any hope of a favourable Mae could be entertained. His &We're's demands were tlttifti.ttly 14 4 0. reatonable ; dlr!Aed to no obliei of perronar agaiantliientent, bet to fuck only as were iudifptinfably legaired by the honour of his Crown, his engiiements to bit allies, aid a due COD uJeratinn of the general interefls of Europe. It is with heartfelt concern that his MAJESTY can templates the continuance of thole evils always ink parable from a nate of war; bin it is with his enemies ' 1 that this awful refponfibility sells ; and, for the Me of the conteft, his Malt STY trunk, with confidence, to the joßice of bit caufe ; to the refuurces and brevery of his people ; to the fidelity of him Allies ; and, above all, to the protedion and tapport of the Dma PROVIDENCE. In contributing to the great efforts which filch a contca mua unavoidably require, his Litbful and sfrationate Cubjeas will not forget that all their &area interetts are at Mike ; that no facri&ces they can be called upon to make, are to be compared with the certain difgrace and ruin of yielding to the injurious pretenfions of the enemy ; that with the inviolable maintenance of the good faith and public honour of their country its profperity, its Arendt, and its iodependenee, are effenrially ennneeted ; and that, in•atierring the rights, and upholding the dig nity. of the Britifh Empire, they defend site moo pdwerful bulwark of the liberties of mankind. The King of Paussla, we underhand, has written a private letter to our Sovereign, which is Fraught with that fpirit and energy which difelofe themfelves in every part of his Public Manifelto. The former has at length taken his proper ground. He has coml. witted himfelf, and every one of the Powers retain ing their independence in Europe, will haften to lend their alfiftance, now that he (lands firmly oppefed to the enemy of the human race.
