FROM 1113 MAJIATT THE =MOB OF TRI titmice
TO Hift MAJESTY THE WEIL

Madam, my Sinter,—ln face of the events which daily
arise and proms themselves cm attention, I deem it indis-
pensable to impart my whole thought to the aomesigns to
whom the destiny of Radom ia confided. On all occasions
Willa great convulsions have shaken the foundations, and
deranged the limit+ of States, solemn compacts have fol-
lowed to reduce to order the mow elements, and to recognise,
while »rimier them, the changes that have been effected,
Such was the object of the Treaty of Westphalia in the 17th
oistnry, and of the Negotiations of Vireos in 1815. It is
on this last foundation that the political edifice of Europe
now rests ; and nevertheless. your Majesty is not ignorant,
it is crumbling to pieces on all aides. If one oxisiders attea-
tively the situation of the different Demetrios, it is impos-
sible not to admit that on almost all points the Mastics
of Vienna are destroyed, modified, disregarded, or memood.
Hone there are duties without rule, rights without title,
preteniimis without restraint. A peril the wee formidable,
since the improvements produced by civilisalioo, which has
united peoples together by an identity of materiel interests,
would render war mill more destrudive. Thl4s a matter for
serious reflection. Let us not delay taking a decision until
sadden end irresistible event, disturb our lodgment, and
draw us, in spite of ourselves, in opposite dietetics& I
wow, therefore, propose to your Majesty to tegidete the
present, and to secure the tutors, by nee= of a magma

undergone so many different trials. If I take the ini-

of vanity, but became I ma the emereign to whom am-

it at heart to pro►e, by this freak and loyal overture,
that my sole object is to arrive, without convulsion, at
the paciticotioo of Europe. If this pommel be agreed to,
I beg your Majesty to sompt Paris as the piste of meeting.
If the princes, allies, and feed. of Passe simald think
