F" c • 4 ..., . Ilihhl , _ - - .y. • • . a.i.&A TR ANC! , THE stcoNn, EMPEROIt OF TILE ROMANS, &C. &C. TO THE ELECTORS" PRI•CE.I, ASV STATES OT IHE vertex, 'MET IN TH.. CiLNIER•L lIILT. The extraordinary Deputation of the Empire, no minated for the execution of the sth and tith articles of the l'reaty of Peace of Luneville, having termi nated the work confided to it ; and the Fledors, Princes, end States of the Gernian Enipire, having, by their Conclusum of the 2 tth of March, demanded its confirmation, his Majesty the Emperor, in his paternal solicitude for the maintenance of the peace and tranquillity of Germany, will not delay to give, according to the measure of his duties , the legal sanEtion to that Aft, so important by its nature and in its consequences. The objea to which his attention is, at this mo ment of decision, direded, is, to conciliate. for as much as is possible, the accomplishment of the obli gations which the Emperor and the Empire have iniposed upon themselves, on the one hand, with the preservation of the Germanic Constitution.-- And on the other hand, with the regard which his Majesty has had for the propositions of the two high mediating Powers, and for the wishes and sa tisfadion of the States of the Empire. This objet is the very same to which all the steps and efforts of his Majesty the Emperor were di reeted at the convocation of the Deputation of the Empire, and in all its aeti and negotiations. In pursuance of that vier, his Imperial Majesty has, during the cruirse of those negotiations, supported the plan of indemnite proposed . Ly the mediating Powers,and adopted by the majority. of vnices in the Deputation, as far as was allowed by the pre cise tenor of the articles of the treaty of peace, and by the limits of the plenary powers of the Deputa tion, which had for their objeO to carry into effea those articles, and to maintain the Constitution in all points in which it was compatible with them. The Convention concluded at Paris on the Vth of December, last year, proves with what modera tion and what regard fir the mediating Powers, and for the States of the Empite, having an interest in the a:rair, his Imperial Majesty laboured to fa cilitate the removal of the difficulties which had arisen, even when those difficulties arose from the legitimate interests of his own family. In that Convention, his Imperial Majesty voluntarily ex tended the obligations of the treaty of Luneville, aid recleccd, as much as possible, the full indem e;ty due to one of the Princes of his own House. His Imperial Nlalesty has shewn the same dispo sitions, and has 7iven the same facilities in regard to other propositions, which have latterly been added to the phut of indemnities, though they did r.ot emanate out of the grounds of the indemnifi cation, nor accord with the interior Constitution of the Germanic Body. Upon the same considerations and respells, his Imperial Majesty also determined to give his adhe rence in the above-mentioned Convention, to the Coed/sun of the Dt pueition on the 23d of November last, still formally reserving all the rights compati. Lie with the. plan of indemnities which belong to him, whether as supreme head of the empire, or as sovereign of his own hereditary dominions. Not having . bad, in this latter quality, any share in the indemnities for the losses which he suffered in the war, his Majesty cannot be subjeEled to the restric tions attached to that plan, farther than is required by the necessity for the execution of the general basis of indernnifica; ion. Finally, as since the conclusion of the Convention of December 26, there have been made various ad ditions and changes on the principal conclusion of the 23d of November, and as the Deputation came to a newrow/anon on he 25th of February, of which the Diet, by it• decision, demands the approbation un der certain reservations formally expressed ; his Imperial Majesty having maturely weighed all the circumstances stated, and being guidel by a sense of his dearest duties, has resolved to give his sanc tion, as supreme head, to the above-mentioned cc:l - of the Empire, upon the conditions follow- The Cnnventi9a concluded at Paris on the 2fith of Dec. last, and communicated to the Deputation, shall be ina:ntnined in full validity and obligatory force, agrecahly to the literal tenor of its articles, and particularly in what regards the reservations ccnuined in Article 4th. The rights of His .Malesty, as Emperor and Supreme Head of the. Empire, to which those reser vations refer, shall be maintained inviolate, both during the ceecution of the present decision, and in all future cases. 'The confirmation of the fundamental laws of the Empire, mentioned in the Conclusum of the Diet of the 24th March, and particularly of the Treaty of l'eace of Westphalia, and of the subsequent Treaties, so far as they have not been fonnally changed by the Treaty of Luneville, and the present decision of the I)iet, as also the reservation proposed in this de ci,ion, for the maintenance of the Germanic Con stitution, in all points in which it has not been for mally changed, and such as that constitution has hitherto existed in re ;pea to the Eledors, Princes, and States of the Empire, comprehending the Teu tonic and Equestrian Orders. All these confirma lions and reservations shall be maintained and car tied into circa. The difficulty which his Imperial Majesty chewed on the occasion of the votes virile: - in the College of Princes, produced by the first propositions of the Deputation, not having been in any manner re moved by the propositions subsequent ; his Majesty sees himself obliged by the duties which he has sworn to fulfil for the maintenance of the Germanic Constitution, and the protettion of the Catholic reli gion, to suspend, for the present, his ratification upon that point, and to reserve himself to demand, lay a Decree of Commission, which will forthwith be passed, that there shall be a further conclusion of the empire upon this subjea, in order that, by suit able propositions, it may be provided that (the pro. testing party !ravine already obtained a majority so decisive, in the College of the Eledors, and in that of the free towns) the antient relations betwsen the two religions shall not be so change,l in the College of the Piinces, as to occasion a disproportion that may , entirely derange the parity of votes. Relatiee, also, to the points in the last Conclution of the DePutation; which ought to be submitted to etber eran.inatipn and deliberation, such as those mentioned at the end of se&ions 2 and 39, his Ma jesty and the Em . pire reserve to themselves to inter fere at a proper time.

His Majesty farther indulges the sure hope that those Powers will recognise the proofs given by the Emperor and the Empire, of regard to their amicable wishes and propositions, and that the aa of peace thus terminated, will be secured and confirmed in the most lasting 'manner.
