LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1883.

of execntion of any negotiation intended to determine
a military guilts quo which evidently cannot exist
between a legally oonstituted government, supported
by a regular army, and en occult committee, based upon
terrorism, proceeding by crimes, and *erred by bands of
rebels dispersed in the forests. Between each elements
there is only ens course compatible with the neoessities of
order, the dignity of the emperor, and the sentiments of
the Russian nation end army, and that is the submission of
the insurgents. When that takes place our august mister
will consult the inspiration, of his clemency without other
II limits than the strictest duties of the sovereign.

As to the second suggestion, that of a conferenos, we in
so way dispute the right of the powers who signed the
general treaty of Vienna of the 27th Nay (9th June). 1815
to interpret according to their convictions the terms of the
transaction in which they took part.

- .
Although everything pcmible hu been said respecting
article lof that treaty without leading to any practical re-
run, we are always ready to welcome in a spirit of concili-
ation and regard the ideas which may be ocmunimiceted to
in through the ordinary diplomatic channels.

Bat the summoning of • conference wank' much exceed
the limits of this right of interpretation. Such an assembly
having for its object the examination of questions connected
with the minutest details of internal administration would
constitute a direct interference such as a great power
would be the lees able to admit, inasmuch u it is neither is
the spirit nor the letter of existing treaties. So far freakew-
trilisting In the peelerrends proposed, it would only render
the insurgents more unmanageable, and the government
lees respected.
The coarse followed in 1815 seems to as to clearly indi-
cate the nature of the deliberations which may be eels-
bbahed upon questions affecting on the one hand the
general interest, and on the other the administrative details
within the exclusive jurisdiction of the adjoining sovereign
states. At that period a distinction was practically eats•
hbahed between them two kinds of interests. The first
were the object of separate negotiations on the part of the
courts of Russ* Austria, and Prussia, between which the
traditions of history, permanent contact, and immediate
vicinity, created a dose solidarity. All the arrangements
intended to regulate the internal administration, and the
mutual relations of the Polish territories, pissed at the
congress of Vienna under their respective domination, were
specified in the separate treaties concluded between those
three courts direct, on the 21st April (3rd May), 1815.
They have been successively completed by a series of
special conventions, whenever circumstances required.
The general principles mentioned in those treaties which
could interest Europe were alone inserted in the treaty of
the Congress of Vienna, signed on the 27th May (9th June)
by all the powers who took part in it.
At the premed moment Masse general prinsiples are not
in question. But the administrative details and the internal
arrangements would furnish matter for Ireful deliberation
between the three courts, with the view of putting the
respective positions of their Polish possessions to which
the stipulations of the treaty of 1815 extend in harmony
with present necessities and the progress of time. Ilse
Imperial Cabinet declares itself at once ready to enter into
an understanding of this kind with the cabinets of Vienna
and Berlin.

You cannot too frequently repeat it, Monsieur le Baron,
that the erne of this unhappy situation, which migrants us
quite se much as the government of the Emperor of the
hooch, mud be sought for on the one hand especially in
the kind and elightened views with which oar august
wader is iespired by his solicitude for the welfare of
Poland as well as for the rest of the empire ; and, ow the
other band, in the united action that the great power
should morally exercise in order to disconcert the schemes
of the party which desires the overthrow of the European
Continent.

Except in these indispensable elements of a practical solo-

tion there can only be misconceptions, dangerous for the
future of the kingdom of Poland and the general peace, or
the guilty rersimuvres of • party ready to sacrifice the
repose of the country and that of Europe for the realisatioe
of it. chimerical projects. '
Nothing could be more prejudicial to the work of order
and conciliation which claims the attention of the cabinet.
than discord between them ; nothing could better serve it
than their agreement.
It is for this reason that we .:pressed to the government
of his Majesty tha Emperor of the French our desire to ar-
rive at that agreement by amicable explan►tions. The
differences which separate our mutual appreciations are not
so marked that we ought to renounce that hope. We find
ma additiosal guarantee of it in the sagacity with which his
Majesty the Emperor of the French knows how to appreci-
ate the interests of Prance and Europe, es well as in the
confiders that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France
displays with regard to the disposition revealed by every
act of our august master's reign.
You will be good enough to read this despatch to M.
Moque de Lhuya, and to leave • copy of it with his Ex.
eelleesy.
