Such a tenet is at variance with every principle of justice; nay, with those principles which the Trend% Nation has vso solemnly proclaimedi To suppose that Russia attacks the inkpendenee of the States of Furope, because she will • not permit a person In her employment abroad to be appointed sotni*herc el.te at the will of the French Government, were to confOund all id eas an d wor d s ; or, because she claims. 'another person, i.yha. I s A naturalized Russian, and has.jitst pow been delivered uPbY .another State. Without any previous trial, and contrary to every appearance of justice. " Newer did the Emperor protea Conspirators;' his.noW anti upright charadler-is toirvell - tnomi to all Europe to require an elaborate contradlt%on of this assettidn, as false as it is indecent. The French Government itself is o•onvineed of the contrary ;.it limit:loly remember that She FAnperor has frequen4deciate4, that if such an aceusatiol were proved against any Rt 1.54111 in his , employment, he Would hdsten punish him. most severely fbr a crime which tke considers as ofa most heinous nature.

Tests in contetni4.of the sacred Law,' of Nations ; at such a moment the Etriperor will leave to all that State4alledged, nay to the impartial opinion -of the Cabinet of St, Cloud itself, the decision of the question, Which of the two, .Russia France, menaces the security of Europe ? which of them sets on, principles the most favourablAto the faqbendence pf other ; State; which interferes , most in the oyerriment and interna Police of other Countries, and prailise4'.the most arbitrary aeis against them ? • " Although: the sorrow • which: the Emperci felt at this alarming situation. of alf'airs, was as notorious is the opinioq, he enteraincd of it, he' nevertheleas had hitnself . hount to make, his-declaration as caplitit as possible, that it might not, with troth, bo said, that there was not a siagle Govem.

It does not apri'ear, how it could be so easilY proved in the present dispute, : that.

Territory of the German Empire, by aguaratiteeing and me. diatittg POl;ver t hart thereby interfered in the interial affairs of France; end to interfere. in which the Emperor never had the most 'distant idea. Every.,State is indeed competent to outlaw a person within its own limits ; but no State has a right, arbitrarily, to place any person otit of the prttettion of the Law of Nations because the latter does not depend upon the deireeS of any singt,e State, but is grounded -upon the unanimous wilt of the Commonwealth of Sovereign States, Tliusthe Frenott Government could at most demand of the Princes of the German Empire, in conformity to the Treaty of L unev ill e , that the Emigrants in their States, who had not yet made the choice ofa Country, and against whom authentic proofs could be produced, should be removed.; but the french Covernment was by no means. justified in th e I nvas i on o f thins States, sword, in hand, to carryofr auc4 persons by main farcal . • . • , ,` It svlfl hardly be credited, that the French Cabinet could (to maintain its erroneous principle) &Piste so far from every renitioltis ilecgratn e and the regard due to truth, akt4 attedge examples which were altogether, improper'to be man. tioned ; that it shoul4, in an official document, srecell'even a father's &doh to the recolleaion of his illustrious soh. in nr der to wound his tender feelings t and that it should (con.

CHM‘GE D'APP4lltti, TO TFIKI4I.4IIITILItIOK roRsiCN , "Paris, Aug. r 6.28, "- The undersigned Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the EmperCii of all the Ittisjas, in answer to the Note trans. milted to Min by the Minister Inc Foreign Affairs, feels it incumbent on him to confine himself to the recapitulation of that cootIOR which his august Mrster has constantly held towards the French Government, the plain exposition of Which will Sufficiently demonstrate the nature of the reci proCity which he has in .his turn experienced from that Powei. ds From the moment that His Majesty ascended the throne 'he laboured with all his care to renew the good intelligence which hist forMerly prevailed between Prance and Russia. His Imperial Majesty, in anticipating the explanations which 'wet,: to produce a solid and permanent understanding between the two countries, was , happy in the persuasion that he would by that means dd.:dually contribute to the general paeitication of Europe, the tranquillity of which had been toojong disturbed by the. events which occasioned the War that was terminated by the Treaty of Lunevilic. The reach tiesi whicliais Majesty chewed to make Peace with the French governtnent, at the time it was at War with several other Dowers-4tie renewal of the forrnsr Treaty of Corti : . inerce, which was entirely to the advintago of Francettie giisid offices of Rulisia in , bringing sibottta recosiciliattr., ba _etyma the Republic and the Ottoman porte---are all con. vincinA proofs Of,the dispositionof MB. Majesty, and of his wishes to.negleanothing on his part which, could tend to consolidate that connexion which he hoped might exist fir CV'. • . . , Since that period, when, in consequence of the misfoi_ tunes which Germany experienced in the course of the Waf,. ..and that - many Members of the Germanic Body were pur'under . the necessity of subMitting to , make sacrifices, and that it became neceisary.to ascertain those sacrilices,. for the purport of settling the indemnities ,that were to compensate for their ' losses, the Emperor, consented to become joint-Mediator with the French . Government, in the cordial hope, that :he Ail of Mediation would seal the tranquillity of theContineit. The completion of this salutary Work allowed His In-m -eal Majesty to turn his attention to the engagements what trance voluntarily entered into at the period of the cone*. sion of her Peace with Russia. His Imperial Majesty, his.. ins scrupulotisly fulfilled those which he entered into wth France, had a right to expea that the French Government would also hare ; shown Itself anxious to equal his punctu ality, and to perform its own obligations. - However reasm. able this expeCtation was, it has never been realized ; and Is 3 French 'Gov:eminent, so far from strewing any dispositiOr4o fulfill them, has .taken no little pains, it the Undersigid May use the expression, to retard their accomplishment. " The King - Of Sardinia, who has been wholly deprived of his Possessions in - Italy; by the Union of Piedmont to Frame, has•still to look for that Indemnity which the Cabinet of the, Thuilleries ha r d solemnly pledged Itself to Russia to allow him, and which the latter has continually demanded. The King of Naples, who was freed for a short time from the presence of a French Army in his kingdom, beholds' it again occupying his Provinces, under a pretext, the eatung of *Melt is not known to His Neapolitan Majesty ; and consetioultly placed out of the line of I miopeuctent, The 'representations of Rl,lssia, founded upon the solernn. - stiPulation of France to consider thekingdom of Napiesias a Neutral State, and so enjoy all the advantages of Neutrality, have been produdive of no determination favourable to , that , Power. . . The wink of Italy his been Changed by the innovations whiehthe Government of. the Republic has causedlt to, tin. dor since the conclusion of the Peace between Russiaend France, without any prellininary concert, with His Impede' Majesty, although it had been agreed upon by the two Powers , at That peri&i, that there shOuld bean understanding between thou as to the political arrangements that ivere to be adopted ; in that Courttry: "Hostilities having been renewed between France and England, the integrity of the Territory of the German Ein. , pire ,wu violated,. notwitlistgnding France had very 'lately engaged to protea it in Common with His Majesty the Em. ,peter. The Cabinet of St. Cloud thought proper to assert, that_ the dignity of King. of England, and that of E leash' Of • BrunsWiek.Lunenburgh,.. being united-4n the same pert , " . ivivere not clistina ;. though such distinction was never disputed by. the Republican Government during the last years of the late iNar; it was; therethre, contrary to every notion of right and justice, to make war' upon a Country which, by the Constitution of the Germanic EmpiTe, of which it was part', and the public proCeerlhigs by which it was -guaranteed, should be tow!) , exempt from itch a visitation: " The possession of Cuxhaven, which under no pretext .oultl have been considered as English property, was, not. withstanding, efreditibyilie French Troops; ands4Hanse itave been coMpelled to make forced loans ,void a fate. The repuated and orient applicaticinf Which the Emperor has ink* to the FitifeltCbeernment; to induce . it to fulfil its engagements with Russia, and to putan end to . all apprehension that the Neutral Powers, 'who were anxi ous to reinain in Peiee; may feel of" n —e ivicritilffi" . .War, have been attended With. no bfred.• " To those numerous causes of dissatisfa4ion, conneaCd with the higher interests of Europe, the . Government of France has thought proper to add all those .which it could directly ott e r to the Court of Russia, by the offensive asses, Lions vehiCh it' advanced and circulated against Ministers ho 4 nourcd with the confidence 011 - lisimperial Majesty; by the scenes which the Russian Eniroy was compelled to witness at the Thuillerics ; by the improper. perseverence which the Cabinet of St. Cloud displayed, in persecuting, in foreign colifitries, persons who were employed by the Court of go sia ; and; lastly, by that unexampled proceeding Which it took the liberty of committing, when it compelled 'thelope to deliver up a naturalized Russian, without paying . aaY 01, gird to the representations and claims of 114 'imperial MX. ,jetty oti that point. " The recent at of violence committed by the French ,Troops in the Territory' of the Eledtor of Basks, having roused the anxiety of the Emperor, tot the security and in. dependence of the States of Europe which are within the *each of France, His Majcsty,expressed his opinion as tithe trangunnaing thssU on that vein; r and thattle• should make such satisfailiou as the Empire had'a right to demand, anti adopt such measures as might-tend to calm the uneasiness and alarm of Europe. To this good office, the Empire received an answer, which left it no hopes that the just expectation of His Majesty would be fulfilled ; which gave a wrung interpretation to that frank, loyal, and disin terested conduct which Ills Majesty constantly held re. Spain% the affairs of Europe, and particularly with regard to France; and which made it but too clear, thkt there was a determined design to thwart and irritate furthei the Court of R uSsia, ++ So little attention and condescension - On the part of the French Government to the just claims of His Majesty, and a contlud so decidedly opposed to any desire of preserving a good understanding between the two States, sufficiently di monstrated to Russia, that if, on the one hand, the French Government attached apparently' but little value to its rela. thins with her, and 'consequently furnished he r w i t h a posi tive, reason for no longer continuing them.; on the other, she has taken an invariable resolution to adopt for her condua, a line absolutely contrary to the principles of justice and the laws of nations, and which, consequently, could Dot har. monize with the sentiments and principles professed by His Majesty. " The Emperor, nevertheless, was willing to make a float efFort with the French Government, and after sti many rea. tonsof diisatisfadion, he was disposed to forget M'em when. ever the above-mentioned engagements (which were also de tailed. in the Note of the aist of August) should be fulfilled; which had been solemnly entered into by the 'lwo Govern= ments, and should have long since been executed. This last "effort having been followed by an evasive and unsatisfadlory answer, full of fallacious Imputations, and which is only . remarkable. for the strange and unexpeCied , assertion, That the Russian Troops had taken possession of the while it is notoriou s , an d the ' Minister fee Republic of the Seven Islands withoat the coacurrence issuers ; ~ must have it in view, th at t hi s Country, which of F o had been first evacuated by the Russian Troops, Was. cic• cupied by .those drawn from the State of Naples, with the consent of the POrte, by the request of the inhabitants, anti in consequence of a previou s t‘he arrangement with Fr ance ,. No. thing further remains tbr Ontiersigned, than to declare, that all correspondence between 4444 and France, be coming by these means perfuelly uselesi, must now. cease.; and that His Majesty the Emperor only waits for intelligence of the departure of his Charge d'Ailititcs from Paris, to signify to , the 'f rench Mission, that it should quit his Capital, 44 :His Majesty the Emperor having nothing to reproach himself with on this head (for if it had depended on him, the ties between the two Nations, far from being dissolved, would be drawn closer), sees himself with regret compelled ,to suspend all relation with a (Averment which . refuses to fulfil its engagements,. which will not contbrin to the reci procal respebt NationS • owe to each other, and in regard to Which His Majesty, since the 'renewal of` the connexion. be tween the two Countries, has experienced increasing morti. fieatiOn. Still faithful to his principleS, and anxious to avoid the shedding of human blocs!, t he Emperor will confine him • self to that resolution which the respective position bf the two Countries adiniti, Russia and Frairei Can do withont those relations, the continuance of which is only to' be war ranted by reasons of advant'age and accornitiiiiiiition, and with. out which it is better that they should have no connexion.
