eet, T rft NLitin N . A 1.4 - Tit T • If, pe.,vinces, rendered our situation complicated. Perhaps that very feelisig which causes us to wish above all things for the repro woo of every pi ieciple of internal dissention, would have pre vented me, in spite of myself. from considering in so serious a light the ane iacing dispositions which are manifested abroad. The rapid di-persion of the enemies of our domestic tram:pointy relieves me from all delicacy of that kind. The French nation has a eight to hear that tends front its Government ; and never could its Cloven,. 'nteot have, as now, so ftlorig a wish, or so powerful an interest, to tell it tic whole truth. You resumed your crown, Sire, on the Ist of M. ch. There are events so far Iscytutil the calculations of human reason. ) h at they escape the foresight of Kings and the sagacity of their Ministers. On the first report of vour arrival on the shores of uveoce, the Monarchs assembled at 'Vienna still considered your Majesty .s no more than the sovereign of the Isle of Elba, when you already rriened again over the French Empire. It was only in the palace of the Thuilleries that your Majesty learned the existence of tl eir tecluratten. The persons who signed th;:t unaccountable document alreaily understood of themselves that your Majesty had no oeca , ion to make any reply to it. Meanwhile all the'prociantati ons, all the a xpsessiona of your Mtkiesty, loudly attested the sincerity of your wishes lei the maintenance of peace. It was my duty to in form tar French political agents, employed abroad by the Royal novereoseot, that tlieir functions had expired, and to apprise them that year Majesty intended to accredit new Legations immediately In your desire to leave no doubt respecting your real sentiments, your Majesty ordered me to enjoin those scents to be the interpre ters of them to the different Cabinets. I obeyed that order by writiog on the SOtti of March to the Ambassadors, Ministers, and other an'ento, the aithjoined letter. Not content Kith this first step. your Majesty determined, under these extraordinary eirennistances, to give to the manifestation of your pacific dispositions a character more anthe'ntic and soh . n n : you thought that you could not stionp more erlat upon the expressinit of them, than by stating them in at letter yourself to the foreign Sovereigns. You-directed me at the Kann- time, Co make a 'similar tieclaration to their Ministers. Tlie.e two 14:ttera copies of which I annex, dispatched on the bth 'net. arc a monument which must for ever -attest the honour and inti. ;! rity of the intentions of your Imperial Maj esty. While the movement's of your Majesty were thus ocetspie , and as it were abseil bed by one single thought, what was the conduct of the dif ferent Powers? In al. ages. nations have taken a pleasnre in pro. stinting the mutual communications between their governmenta; end cabinets themselves base matte a point of hennaing these ' cominsinieationa. In time of peace the object of those 'elation's is to prolong its duration ; in war they tend to the ;monition of peace ;in both circionatunces they are a benefit to humanity. It was reserved ter the present epoch to behold an association of Airrnsrrh forl,idslinei simultaneously all connection with a great ewe, mid clor isle the avenue to its mineable assnrance*. The coo iers Isom Paris on the SOth of March, ter the ditiereot t•o have 1101 been able to reach- the places of their destination. 0 .r could proceed no farther than Strasberg, anti the Austrian Ge.- octal N‘lu. cumniamis at Kehl, refused to allow him a passage even upon condition of I.:s couseotinz to be aeconspanied by an escoW Another sent titf tar Italy was obliged to retorts from Turin without accomplishing the object of his mission. A third, destined for Ber lin and the North, was apprehended at Mentz, and ill-tteated by the Minot:an Coromateiati I . His dispatches were seized by the Austrian General who command, in thief in that place. I have already learned, that anneal: the conriers di-patched on the Sib ittstaot, those destined fur Germany and Italy were unable to pass the froidiess. I have Ito account of those who were petit off from . • th e N or th and for England. Witten an almost impenetrable bar . rier is thus set up between the Fiend' linistry and its agelsts tibiae* :; between the Cabinet of your Majesty and those 'of other Sowers Igo% your Minister, Sire, has no other means t h an the pnl,lic acts Of foreign Gev,efushents of judging of their listen .. Nonstu EAOLANIE—The Constitution of. frosaland impOses on the Mo narch used obliaatioust towards the nation which he goveres, As' it is not in his power to act without its concurrence. he is obliged to .00stinintsicate to. it, if not his formal, at least his probable resolutions. lit: message transmitted to Pits hutment ou the atlt instant. by the Pence Regret, is not calculated to excite any vciY extensive coal' desire in the friends of peace. I have Ike honour to submit this prom to your Majesty. A first remark must paintithy atket thoae . who tire acquainted with the rights of nations, and are anxious to Me them notice-red by trines. The only motive alleged by the liegeiii to justify the measures which be anuounees the. rswmtiots of .solopline is, that eveuts have Occurred in France, eon. 4 0 4 Ift engageneonts conttactea by the allied Puwery with one !APRIL is. anottrer;- avid this Sovereign of a free nationseems not eseti to pay the least attention to the wishes of the great nation an , mig wl tiles% events have taken place. It seems that in 1815. England anti her Princes have no recollection of 1e88! It seems that the Allied .Powers, because they obtained a moinentary advantage over th e French people, have presumed, in regard to an internal act obis% most nearly tom-erns its whole existent*, to stipulate for it an without it, in contempt of the most sacred of its rights ! Th e Prince Regent declares, that he is giving orders for the increase of the British forcisi both by land and sea. Thus the French i natme, of which he takes so little account, must be upon its guard • n aM sides ; it has to tear a continental aggression, and at the rains time must watch the whole extent of its coasts against the possibility of a desceut. It is, says the Prince Regent, to render the wow ity of •Europe permanent, that he claims the support of the English na tio*. And how can he have occasion for this support when dial se em ity is not threatened ? For the rest, the relations betw•eu th e two countries have not suffered any alteration worthy of notice. On son to points, particular facts prove th .t the English are solidi tous to maintain the relations established by the peace. •On others, ditti.rent circt! u istances would lead to a contrary belief. Letters from Rochefort of the Tth instant, mention some incidents, winch would be of an unfavourable omen if they were to be confirmed, and if not explained in a satisfactory manner; but our precut ac counts exhibit no character which would lead us to attach much importance to those incidents. In Austria, in Rnssia, in Prussia, in all parts of Germany, in Italy, in abort every where, is to be seen a general arming. Avrrnao.—At Vienna, the renal of the landwehr, lately disband ed, the opening of a new loan. the daily increasing progression of the discredit of the paper-money, all auretince the intention of the fear . of war. Strong Austria n columns are on their Inert+ to rein force the minserons corps already assembled its Italy. It may be doubted whether they are destined'for aggressive operations, or arc merely intended to keep in obedience piedmout. Genoa, and the other parts of the Italian territory, where the clashing of interests may excite apprehensions of discontent. • ' NAPLES.—Amidst these preparations of Anstrii on the side of Italy, the King of Napleccould not remain motionless. This Prince, whose assistance the Allies had on a preceding occasion invoked, whose legitimacy they had: acknowledged, and whose existence they had guaranteed could not be ignores/ that their policy, since mo dified by different circumstances, would: have endangered his throne,_ if. too infringe* to trust to their promises, lie lead not known how to strengthen himself on Letter foundatiens. Prudence has enjoined him to advauce a few steps, to watch events more .lonely, and the necessity of coveting his kingdom has obliged him to take up military positions in the Homan States. Pnussto..--The movements of Poulain are net less active. Every 'where the corps are completing. Offieera on half•pay are of deer d to join their corps : to accelerate their marsh they gi ant his in free posting; and this sacrifice, slight in appearance, but made by a c6l - government, is not a malt proof of the interest which it attache& tome rapidity of its preparations. • Soontsito.—'l'he first moment after . your Majesty's return, a Commandant of the British- troops, in concert with the Governor of the country of Nice, took possession of Monaco. By ancient treaties, renewed by the treaty of Paris, France alone has a right to place-a garrison in that fortress. The time of this occupation l'by the Commandant of .the English troops, sufficiently shows that I he did this of himself, and without previous instruction( from his Government. - France mast demand satisfaction for this affair from tire Court* Of London and Turin. She mast require the esti euatiwit of- Monaco, and t its being given up. ' to a Frssrich garrison conformably to treaties; but : your Majesty will, doubtless, be of opinion, that this'affair can only become a subject of explanation, considering Btu the determination of the Sardinian Governor, and especially that of the English Commandant, have keen accidlutal, and a sudden effect of the Olafinoccasioned by extraordinary more snents. SPAIN.--News from Spain, and an official letter from M. de Li vid of the nth March, state, that an army is- to proceed to the line of the Pyrenees. The strength of that army will necessarily de pens! upon the internal silnation of that Monarch, and its ulterior movements apon the•determination of the-other States. Frasee will remark that these orders were given, upon the demand of the Dnke.aud Duchess of Angouleme. Thus, in 1813, as in 1794, it is the French Princes that invite foreigners into our territories. .Tits NETHERhxsins.--The assembling of troops of different us' Bons in the new kingstom of the Netherlands end the numerous dr)• barkations of English troops, are known to your Majesty ; a portiere 11 ler rhais adde4 to thu doubts which these assemblages may £I.IC
