DIPORTANT STATE PAPER. DECLARATION OF TUE ALLIED rowEßs. Fronch Government has ordered a new levy of 3130,000 Conscripts. The Motives of the Senatus Constatztht to that effect contain an ap peal to the Allied ,Powers. They, therefore, find themselves upon to promulgate anew, in the face of the world, the views which guide them in the present war—the principles which form the basis of their conduct, their wishes, and their determinations. The Allied Powers do not make war upon France, but against that preponderance, haughtily annonnced,—against that preponderance ivhich, to the misfortune of Europe,, and of prance, the EmperorNAsotcoll has too long exercised beyond the limits of biy empire. Victory has conducted the Allied Armies to the banks of the Rhine. The first use which their Imperial . and Royal 'Majesties have made of vic tory, has been to offer peace to his Majesty the Emperor of the An attitude strengthen ed by - the accession of all the Sovereigns and Princes of Germany, has had no' failuenec son the cond;tions of that peace. These conditions are founded on the indepe.idenee of the French eln vire, as well as on the independenrx of the other States of Europe.; The views of the Powers arc jam, iii their' objeCt, generous and liberal in their application,. giving security to all, honourable to each. The Allied Sovereigns desire that France, may be great, .powerful, and happy ; because the French power, in a state of greatness and strength, is one of the tomidations of the social edifice of Europe, They wish that France may be hap py,—that French commerce may revive,---that the art?, those blessings of peace, may again flourish ; because a great people can only be tran quil in proportion as it is happy: The Powers confirm to the French empire an extent of terri tory which France under her Kings never knew ; because a valiant nation does not fall froin its rank, by having in its turn experienced reverses in an obstinate and sanguinary contest, in which it has fought with its accustomed brav'e.ry, But the Allied Powers also wish to be free, tranquil, and happy, themselves. They desire a state •of peace which, by wise partition of etre:gob, by a just equilibrium, roay henceforward preserve their people from the numberless cult►. witiei: which have overwheltned Europe for thy last twenty years. The Allied Powers will not lay clown their arms until they have attained this great and be neficial result, this noble object of their efforts. They will not lay down their arms, until the po litical state of Europe be established anew, — until immovable principles have resumed their rights over vain pretensions,--until the sanctity of treaties shalrhave at last`secured a. real peace .to Europe.
