DR TkI.I.ETR AND, DEI IMMO ON THE 15TH AUO. 1805. " The Undersigned has hastened, on the termina tion of the conference whicn , he has had the honour of holding with Count de Cohenteel, to transmit to Boulogne. the Declaration delivered to him by his Excellency (alluding to the known Ave/ ima Dee/aro bon of the 5/h of Aarrast), and he lies received or ders from the Emperor and King to return the fol ; lowing answer:--- ' " Ile Emperor could not fail of being sensibly affeeted by the sentiments of moderation shewn in the aforesaid Declaration, and by the amicable readiness of His Majesty the Emperor of Germany and Anstria, to hasten, by his interposition, the ter mination of the evils caused by the war to the French Empire. But the more His Majesty knows how to appreciate the importance and the value of the good offices of His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, the more he is grateful for the intention with which the offer of those good offices is made, the more does he feel, that his very sentiments of gratitude forbid him to make use thereof ; if, on the one hand, from the nature of things, and on the other, from the situation of circumstances, it is not even permitted to hope, that they can be employed with advantage, nor consequently without compris ing the dignity of the Mediator. This motive alone would be decisive for His Majesty, even if it were possible to forget how the Cabinets of London and St. Petersburgh have very lately answered his most noble and magnanimous behaviour. " M. De Novosiltscff was coming to France, with out the Emperor's knowing his intentions. The King ot Prussia had required passports for this Chamberlain of the Emperor of Russia. The past ports were immediately granted without any expla ' nation. What benefit has His Majesty derived from this extraordinary concession ? An offensive Note. ~replete with false assertions, was the sole result of a mission, which the Emperor had neither occasioned nor required. o Being thus attacked in his honour, it is no longer possible for him to require or expert any thing of Russia, who, instead of being desirous of peace. Anis her own interest in war, and founds on its MD novetion, hopes, which she attempts in vein to coo. teal, when her behaviour unveils them even to those eyes which are the least penetrating. " For a twelvemonth past, the Emperor has ie. ceived nothing but insults from the Russian Cabi net. His cherefter and his dispositions ate too well known for it to be believed, that he will expose him self to flesh injuries. It belongs to the Emperor Alexander to judge which alternative appears most advantageous for him; whether to persist in a sys tem, to the adoption of which, he was moved by foreign influence ? or to return to more moderate, more just, and wiser sentiments? He has a greeter interest in returning to them, than France has to lead him back thereto. This alteration must be the re sult of his own consideration, and cannot form an objoll of any kind of negociation. " As to England, His Majesty made an attempt, eigkt months ago, to incline her to peace t which at tempt Europe knew how to appreciate, and which would not have been in vain, if England had de pended solely upon her own resources; but, from the Answer returned by the Cabinet of St. James's, it was clear that it would not think of a peace, till it had lost every hope of setting the Continent in flames, and of covering Italy with blood and car nage. With this intention, and with this intention alone, it called upon the interposition of Russia. The Cabinet of Vienne is too enlightened not to perceive this, though the projefts and motives of EigLind were not known to it, from the pressing solicitations, and from the offer of subsidies, with which she has constantly besieged the Court of Vi cane, to induce it to take up arms. o It cannot be hoped that such a Power will lis ten to the advice of moderation and justice. It would even be useless to speak to it of its interest, which ought to be dearest to it. Blind passions in duce it to mistake those interests. The voice of per suasion would avail nothing ; but that which the good offices of Austria cannot indoee England to do, Austrsa can oblige her to do. She needs neither ex e-tions nor menaces for this purpose, hut merely to o.serve a vet y simple process, which will convince England of her impotence. " England knows, and has mote than once de. Glared, that Russia alone cannot afford her any as sistance, and that a diversion will be of no use to bar, •o long as Prussia and Austria will not co operate with her. " Prussia has declared. at all times, that she will in no case enter into any hostile projea against France. Let the Emperor of Austria make the same decla ration, and the British Cabinet will immediately feel its own interest, as it is no longer deceived by unfounded imaginations, and is informed by the opi nion of the most evihglitened people of that country; it wi.l immediately see the necessity of returning to the stionletions of the Treaty of Amiens, and she will find her happiness' in this necessity. Then the Emperor of Germany will not only have a claim upon the eratitude of the Emperor ot the French, but he will have elf Ord more tor hit own advan tage than it he had gainel ten hetties against France; for an immediate consequense of the peace would be the performance ot the obl :I , ation which His Ma je.ty the Emperor of the Fetch has rakes upon - himolt, and which he renews with pleasure, of se paratino the Croons of France ;and of Italy. " lf, en the other hand, A ...trio, by indecisive measures, leave a doubtful and uncertain opinion ; if thereby she authorise the assertions of the Eng lish Ministry, that she belongs to a coalition ; if she continue to 72,000 men in Italy, the Emperor will be obliged to bel'eee that site sees, with a sect et joy. a war which weakens Fraioe, and that she thinks the n .ient favourable 'or resuming those hostilities, of which toe present generation must be tired of lwing made the vietitos. " His Otlooty, who has only 5i),:/00 men in Italy, 15,000 of ....on* are at the extremity of the king dom of NAO.., sees his most importasit frontier ex posed to danger, and cannot provide it with fresh troops. without drawing the troops tram his Army of the Ocean; he can, Oterefore. not consider Aus tria in any other light than that of making a diver sion in favour of England, which is as impressive and more troublesorae to him than would be an open War. " HIS Excellency Count Cobentzel will have re marked, what great and extraordinary sublet!' the present circumstances offer. Such circumstances render measures necessary, answerable thereto. It is a truth, of which all enlightened men are sensible, and with which His Majesty is penetrated—when Frederic the Second saw that a war was intended against him, he was beforehand with his enemies. The Houte of Austria has more than once done she same: at prescnt, the Emperor of the French sees preparations making in Poland and in Italy. Even the places where they are made, skew that they are the result of an agreement, and point out against whom they, are intended. The Codrrsigned must ask of Count Cobentzel, what would the Emperor of Germany do, if be were in the place of the French Emperor ?. " However, the Emperor will be happy to sup pose the best for futurity, as it depends on Austria to make what Is to come happy for Europe, and as he takes the sentiments, expressed in the Note, which the undersigned has received of Count Co bentzel, for a good omen. May Austria issue the same Declaration which Prussia has made ; may she, by Ras, confirm that Declaration, and reduce her whole force, and the whole artillery, Scc. of her army, to the peace establishment ; may she no longer keep 72,000 men in Italy ; may she order back to their garrisons the regiments assembled to form an army in the Tyrol. and cease the establish ing of magazines, and the fortified camps. which announce an approaching war, and nothing will further disturb the peace of the Continent ; this peace, so desirable to all parties, since France has nothing to gain by A fresh combat. Austria will gain nothing by it, and the maritime peace will SOO9l fOID.W. \Vh .n Austria shall have declared, that she remains neutral, and will remain neutral, a peace will be the desire and hope of England ; it will he concluded, and the Treaty of Amiens will be restored before the month of January. The crowns of France and Italy will be separated for ever: Europe, enjnying security and tranquillity, will owe them to the wisdom of Austria, which, by an opposite behaviour, would have precipitated Eu- rope into a situation, which neither the Cabinet of the Thuilleries, nor the Cabinet of Vienna, nor any other, could calculate or foresee. . ._ . " His Excellency Count Cubentzel will see. that in those communications, which the Undersigned has been ordered to make to him, it was impossible for His Majesty to proceed with more openness, dig nity, and sincerity. For the interest of Austria her selft and for the glory of her Sovereign, His Majesty wishes that the Emperor of Germany may avail himself of the opportunity which is off; red to him. The fate of his own States, and that of Europe. is now in his hands. In one hand he holds the dis turbances and revolutions ; in the other, the general peace. An impartial neutrality is sufficient for him to obtain what he desires, and to insure the peace of the world. The must efficacious mediation of peace which Austria can make. consists in the preservation of the most perfeet neutrality, in the cessation of ar maments, in not obliging France to make a diver sion, and in leaving no hope for England of bring ing Austria over to her side. " The Undersigned can have no doubt. but his Excellency Count Cobeatzel will set a due value up on the sohjAis discussed in the present Note, and contribute, by his influence, to have them considered in their true point of view. " He seizes this opportunity to renew to his Ex cellency Count Cobentzel, the assurance of his high est esteem." SECOND NOTE FROM M. DE TILLEYR ‘ND DELIVERED ON THE 115T11 o► AUG. 18 , ”. " His Majesty the Emperor bad placed the greater reliance on the pacific and amicable assurances of Austria, as he thought he had a right to depend sp un the good disposition of that Power, considering the manner in which he behaved towards it after two wars, the entire advantage of which was on the side of France, and in which the greatest part of the Aus trian possessions had been conquered by his arm, " Entirely occupied by the war which England has raised, he hoped, since he had given Austria no cause of complaint, that Anstria would preserve the striaest and most impartial neutrality; but the movements of troops, and the other hostile disposi tions which have taken place in the Hereditary States, and at which Europe is either uneasy or as.. tontshed, compel His Majesty the Emperor to de mand not only a categorical explanation, but a most speedy one. ' " The repeated accounts which the Emperor re ceives from all quarters, compel him to postpone his projeCts against England ; and thus Austria has dent as much as if she had commenced hostilities— for she has made the most powerful diversion in favour of England. 4 ' Austria assembles an army in the Tyrol, whilst France has evaceated all Switzerland. His Ex cellency Count Cobentzel knows very wel', that 1 Austria has nearly 72,000 men in Italy, whilst France has not 50,000 there, 15,000 of whom are on the Gulph of Tarento ; and this is the very cause that has principally determined him to sus pend his piled,. Austria raises camp-fortifica tions every where, as it a war were already de clared. or very near at hand. All the Austrian troops are in motion ; all have quitted their gar risons in which they were quartered; all are marching in a direr ion which announces war ; , and how, indeed, could His Majesty the Emperor of 1 Germany and Austria, assemble so many regiments ' with a pacific intention, in a country so barren and poor as the Tyrol,where he can only maintain them to the detriment of his finances ? Why should he esta blish magazines? Why should he order the baking of biscuit ? Why should he take up so many draught horses? Is is a principle in the public law of Europe, that the assembling of troops, establishing of maga zines, baking of biscuit, taking up of draught-horses, are considered by all powers as a declaration of war, especially if such preparations are made nn a frontier, which is left unprovided by a power employed else where, at an opposite and very distant frontier. His Majesty, desirous of reconciling those dispositions with the pacific expressions of His Majesty the Err. perot of Germany. in which he has always placed the strongest confidence, can only reconcile them on the supposition, that this monarch kniins no tons f the wrong that has been done to Fran re; and to it the diversion occasioned by his armainent !s tannic , mount to statue hostilities. His PSCSisser is still de sirous of persuading himself, that that moriareh really knows nothing of it ; but the nature consenneoces of a similar error, are equally detrimental to Fr ,nee AS positive hostile intentions, and for thin me, rea son, His Majesty's interest requites to be before hand with them. " It is no longer protestations which can satisry His Majesty. His Majesty cannot admit any inter mediate state betwixt that of war or of peace. if Austria want peace, every thing in Austria must be restored to the peace-establishment. Should Austria desire war, His Majesty will have ne other alternative than to throw back upon the aggressnr all the evils which he. would bring, not only upon the present generation, but also ( His Msjeirty d ires to utter it with pride) upon his own States and his own Family : for His Majesty will flatter himself to obtain, in a new war, similar viltories as in the preceding; and to secure himself against those diversions which are, as it were, the first step of a coalition in favour of England. " The Undersigned has, therefore, receive 1 or let 4, on the supposition most agreeable to His NI i; namely, on the supposition that Austria is desirous of peace, to demand, " 1. That the twentyione regiments, which have been sent to the German and Italian Tyrol, shall he withdrawn, and that those troops only shall remain in both the said provinces, which were there six months ago. " That the camp-fortifications be discontitmed. The Emperor does not require, that Awn •ia shall not erea real fortifications. The tight of electing them belongs to all states, and precaution often makes it the duty of a Prince. But, as Venice is cer tainly no fortress, the works carrying on there at pre. sent are nothing else than camp-works. 3. Thin the nosaps in Stiria, in Carinthia, in Friuli, and in the Venetian territory, be reduced. to the numbers at which they stotra six months ago. " Lastly, 'rhot Austria declare to England her firm and unshaken deteianination to preset ve an ea m% and scrupulous neutrality, without taking a raft in the present dispute ; because it is the duty of Am tria, if she will preserve a system of neutrality, to do nothing. either mediately or immediately, in favour of England. " The Uundersigned has also received orders to declare to his Excellency Cunt Cohentzel, er ra ther, to repeat the declarations so often made to film, that the dearest wish of His Majesty the Emperor of the French, is the continuance of the peace (inch the German Emptier ; that His Majesty would o n. willingly take those steps which he would 5c obliged' to take, by a positive refusal, or even an evasive or dilatory answer, to tht demands which the Un dersigned has been direlted to make: but that, its' a situation like that of Austria, Prince Charles would not hesitate. as that Prince is too gond t sole dyer not to behave in a similar manner ; and aims if His Majesty be obliged to repel force by force, he will not commit the fault to wait until the Reessisar. have joined the Austrians against him. " His Excellency Count Cobentzel knows too well the importance and urgency of the present ciecunvi stances, for the Undersigned to think it necessary to invite him to hasten, as much as is possible and depends on hies. an answer. which His*Mojeery es peas with an impatience that is justified on so many grounds. _ " The Undersigned seizes this opportunity, Esc * " DKCLAILATION.

" It would be superfluous to revert here to tho motives which have induced His Majesty, the Erne peror of all the Russia:, to renal the Plenipotentiai whom he had cent, in concert with Ijis Britanme Majesty, to negotiate with the Head of the French Government on the subjea of peace. " These grounds are ton just and obvious not to merit the attention of all Europe. They are con coined in the Note which was transmitted to the htnisters of His Prussian Majesty, by M. N nrosilt zoff, on the O'Sch Sine (July 10). and the conclusion to which they have given rise, is a consequence of those very sentiments and principles wb.ch have led His Imperial Majesty to exert himself with inces sant anxiety for the restoration of the general tran quillity. it Since the rupture between England and France, His Majesty has beheld, with astonishment and commiseration, the greater part of the States of the Continent compelled, in succession, to hear the bur. den of a war, which, in its origin, is plainly of maritime nature, and foreign to their (Urea intersots. He could not, however, cherish the hopc, that this melancholy state of things might bt put an teod to, by means nt a frank and friendly n inocietion, when he perceived that, without the slightest re gard to these solemn proceedings, whi.b tended to the restoration of peace, and even at the very mo ment when Russia offered to negotiate for its attain ment. the number of States which lost their lode pendence continued to increase. " When His Imperial Majesty resolved to recall his Plenipotentiary, he was actuated mercy by the consideration, that this mission could not produce any ;medic result, and not from his having, in any respect renounced his ardent des re of restoring peace to Europe. " Of this sitsaosition the Emperor gave the most convincing demonstration, in his seceding to the ap plication made by His Imperial Roman and Aposto lic hlajesty, to England,France, and Russia, with the view of renewing the negotiation which had been broken off. His Imperial Majesty, however, can not, at the same time. conceal the possibility that a conduth on the r.srt of France, similar to that which has already compelled the Emperor to tread hack his first s eps towards a nerciation for peace, may likewise render nugssorry the negotiation which Austria is desirous of renewing. " •Fhe painiul apprehension is justified by experi ence, that new istirpations might be accornt.lishel at the manna' when the negotiation was recom menced, or %lats..: was carrying on. Appre hension that still greater dangers rnig!.t arise to the happiness of Europe, from a measure. the ab vinus tenderer of which is its entire deliverance; the certainty that these dangers would become ins- i 1
