The Emperor struck with the confidence which he Prince ltoyal placed in hiw, having moreover 4.lnsidel'ed his own grounds of dissatidadion with El4gland, having attended to his' engagements with ZttC Powers of the North, engagements entered into by .the liminess CATIIititINE, and by his late Imp. rial Majesty, both of glorious memory, haS resolved upon fulfilling them.' • liisqtnperial Majltutk breaks of all communica tion with England : he recalls' his 'Embassy from that Court,' 'find nut altow any Anibass'atior front ket• to continue at his Court.

He consented to _participate lit lier.plouder. He kilt 4 willing ear to the proposals of uggiandizetnent with which ihrokArAaxillatter. , ed his hereditary ambition. Can it be argued for a moment, that when.Amm ketra:lt' concluded this Treaty he retained any friend= IY - :sentimentS towards ENULA ? Zs it not .per. featly clear, that his wind was, at that moment, coMpletely estranged from the British Government-' Indc..ed, it is unnecessary to dwell longer'on this point than to ask, 'whether the refusal to renew the Commercial TaBArY did not long precede the DA NISH War ? 'With whatever'sentitnents, therefore, Russia may view that necessary measure, it 'certainly did not bring about the alteration in her sentiments, which has converted her front an Ally of England into an Associate of France. That conversion is to be at tributed to this deceitful system of the Administra tion,. whose measures were to " conciliate all Foreign Courts,"—to " malie, the British name req.etiable among our friends, and formidable to our enemies !" It is to be attributed to that constant collision of sentiment in a Cabinet composed of persons holding opinions diametrically opposite—a Cabinet its which every thing was corn promile : one Party had influence enough to encourage the renew?' of the War—the other prevailed in withholding lite assistance of England. There cannot be a more forcible illustra tion of the advantages of comprehensive Administra tions ! . But to return to the Russian Declaration ; Eng land is accused uf" troubling the Ctimmerce of Rua. sia, at sea," while she was sheddiug her , blood in the most 'glorious warfare." This, we cutileSs, is not quite inteliigible'to US. Complaints-344415t our con. du& on t he Se 4 to Ne4tra/PoWers,are frequent, and are generally broaght forward When they wish for a pre. titite to quarrel ; but Russia w as a!1 Ally in the War, a State equally interested with us in re, diming the power of France. We appliei no restritlionates her commerce which were not equally caromed on our own Subjects. IC fbally seems that M. Rom.tiOw was ordered by BUONAPARTE to insert this paragraph ,in his Manifesto, and that be put it in the wroneplace. If it 'referred to Russia as' neutral, it would be false,-- , but as it,standS, it is absurd. Another cause of complaint is found in the re filial of our Government to accept of the mediation of Russia. This,, as ground of war, is equally tile. A Prince engaged in a common war, makes his separate peace, and then quarrels with his Code.. . &trate because he hesitates at following his example. But the the fa& is, that we have here a very, strong ground of complaint against Russia. True it is that Rusitia °fired her mediation towards a- Peace with France; hut in making this otlor, .she did net condescend to communicate . the Treaty upon Which irtuas founded, npr the lintito . tions to which -it Was 'Thtiea, We found out, from the Foreign Papers, that the offer of this Medidtkm anise out of the Peace of Tilsit, and, that if not accepted within a month,: it was to be void. This insincere conduit 'would have justified our Ministry in breaking oIV all communication with the Court of St. Petersburgh. It joined'Ftenee'iti'an attempt to throw upon us the oil= of the War, inJ ecoutkd the attempt by a frauddent.coneeaituunt of its true cause.
