" The Undersigned Plenipotentiary of His Bri-
tannic Majesty has, without delay, transmitted to his
Court the communication made to him on Thurs-
day, the 4th instant, by his Excellency the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, and he now hastens to answer
that communication, by intimating to his Excel-
lency the line which His Majesty has thought pro-
per to prescribe fur his cundua in the oats.' state of
things.
" His Britannic Majesty, ever attentive to the
maintenance of the intimate ties and of the alliance
subsistinz 'setween His Majesty and the Emperor of
-all the Russias, naturally grids in the recent conduit
of his Illustrious Ally, and in the testimonies he has
ju't given of the interest which he takes in the wel-
fare of Great Britain, and the general happiness of
Europe, fresh motives for not separating. in any case.
his interests from those of the Court of St. Peters.
burgh.
" His Majesty does not, however, pretend to ex-
tend this principle farther than the Earl of Yar-
mouth was authorised to do, according to the in-
struaions of Mr. Fox, in the communications be-
tween his Lordship and the French Government.
Nothing prevents the interests of Great Britain and
France from being discussed separately ; His NI i-
jesty merely does not authorise the Undersigned to
sign any treaty but a provisional one, it being un-
derstood that this treaty is not to have full effect, but
in the case of peace being concluded between the
faithful Ally of Greit Britain and France. It is
upon these conditions only that the Undersigned is
actually authorised to negotiate.
" The Undersigned is ordered to add, that His
Britannic Majesty, perfectly informed of the desire
entertained by the Court of Petersburgh to make
peace, on bases reciprocally honourable and advan-
tageous, and compatible at the same time with the
interests of Earn" has authorised him to commu-
nicate to the French Plenipotentiary conditions ac-
cording to which. Russia (in consequence of the in-
timate and full knowledge which His Majesty has
of the intentions of that Court) would be ready to
negotiate with the French Government ; to reduce
them into the form of a Treaty, should they be
agreed to on both sides t and to insert, in the pro-
visional Treety between Great Britain and France,
an article, according to which His Britannic Ma-
jesty would engage to employ his mediation for ob-
taining the accession of Ilia Majesty the Emperor of
all the Russias :o this Treaty.
" The Undersigned is not ignorant that it is to
the French Plenipotentiaries he has to submit the
Official Communication of the Conditions. In the
mein time,and for the satisfaition of his Excellency
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, he has no hesitation
to state, that they will be in substance the same
which have been already communicated to Isis Ex-
cellency by his Evcell-trey Baron De Bndberg.
" The Undersigned will wait, with anxious ex-
peaation, for the answer to this communication,
which his Excellency the Minister fur Foreign Af-
fairs will have the goodness to transmit to him in
writing. It is the more essential to him to obtain
it in that form, as his Court has remarked. that the
communications already made by the Undersigned
pave several times remained without a writtenanswer.
" The Undessigned has the honour to sinew to
his 'Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs the
assurances of his high consideration.

Copy of a Note addressed to Lord Lauderdale by
his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Sept. 18, 180 ti :
" The Undersigned, Minister for Foreign Affairs,
has laid before His Majesty the Emperor, -King of
Italy, the Note which his Excellency the Era of
Lauderdale, Minister Plenipotentiary of His 33ri-
tam& Majesty, did him the honour to address to
him on the ISth inst.
Is His Majesty the Emperor and King sees with
concern, that the negociation seems sn take every day
a retrograde direflion, and he can, with difficulty.
explain to himself whit end the English Govern-
rnent desires to arrive at.
" At first, obsolete forms, both the text and the
grounds of which were never admitted. nor even
discussed by the French Government, were brought
forward and attempted to be established as settled
rules, and when that difficulty appeared to have been
removed, and the French Pknipotertiaries antici-
pated sacrifices. which evinced more and more the
disposition of their Government to peace, points
anterior to the negotiation were resorted to, and a
question which had been three times decided. was
again revived ; first, by the powers given to M.
D'Oubril, and of which the Plenipotentiaries of Ills
Britannic Majesty were afterwards informed ; by the
powers which England had given to the. 4.3.4t1 of
Yarmouth ; and finally, for the third time, by those
of the Earl of Lauderdale. It was, it would seem,
a fit subjca of consideration, that a discussion ter-
minated before the first conferences of the Negoci-
ainrs, and decided also by the single fag of their
snot iation, would be no mere resumed.
' " ' e. H's Majesty the Rhyme, however. desirmas to
give a new pried of his constant dispositind for the
re-establishment of peace, adlietes to the following
proposition:—That the negotiation between France
and England shall continue, and that the Plenipo-
tentiary of His Britannic Majesty shall be at liberty
to introduce into the treaty, *idler by a formal sir a
secret article, or under any other form which may
answer the sense end, every thing which he shall
think useful for concilietiug the differences that exist
between France and Russia, and Gtr making the lat-
ter participate in the blessings of peace; it being
clearly understood, that no proposition will be ad-
mitted. but those which should be respeitively ho-
moveable, and M no way affeaing the real power and
dignity of the two empires ; and that the extr.sordi-
n.iry propositions with *bich M.'Novozillroff was
charged on the past of Russia, shall not again be
brought forward, and which having signalized the
origin of a coalition; vinqutshed and confounded
fr,yrn the instant of its fewmation, ought, with it. to
be consigned to oblivion. There are propositions,
which being but the remit of a blind confidence and
alind of snebtiatier, and which being founded
, neither in the reel strength of states. nor its their
gin graphical Iltllitiiiil, are destitute of all pacific
clanger. and c wrty with them their own reprobation.
..." It is the duty of FIIIII:e not to abandon the in-
terest. of the Ottom in Porte, nor a pontion which
• enables bee to maintain that empire wins: the ag-
-1

gressions with which Russia opettlr threatens it :
but all these objects, designed to make part tot the
dispositions of the treaty, being reserved for discus-
sion, the Undersigned shall not attempt to amid-
pate the results to which the discussion may Iced.
" If, since the changes which have occur red in
the Cabinet of His Britannic Majesty; they cominue
in England to wish for peace. peace may te mAtle,
and made promptly. The Emperor will not strip
at some sacrifices to accelerate and render it Lasting;
but if the disposition for peace has changed at Lon-
don—if the wise and liberal views, dtveimped in the
first communications which took place with the il-
lustrious Minister, whom both nations regret, prevail
no longer—a vague discussion, immoderate preten-
sions, and ambiguous propositions, deviating from
the tone of candour and liberality necessary to con-
dal both parties to a true point of approximation,
would enly tend to farther it ritation, and would be
unworthy of the two people.
•• Fiance does not pretend to &late either to
Russia or to England; but she will not be diaated
to either by England or by Russia. Let the condi-
tions be equal, just; moderate, and peace is made;
but it an imperious disposition be manifested. if ex-
aggerated terms be proposed, if the spirit ofpredo-
nuisance be evinced ; if, ttally, it be wished to dic-
tate peace, the Emperor and the French people will
not even take notice of these propositions. Confi-
dent in themselves, they will answer, as an ancient
people answered its enemies, a Yon demand our
arms, come and take them."

The Undersigned Plenipotentiary of His Ma-
jesty the King of Great Britain (in answering the
official note" of his Excllency the Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs, dated the 13th of this month, which
was this day transmitted to him). begins by ohs:try-
ing, tha he purposely abstains,
.#l)s far as possffile,
from all remarks on points which are noticed t!:..r.7,
but which are foreign to the obj!ft immediately in
question. He will, by that mode, avoid discussions,
which, in their nature, might make him forget the
tone and the moderat on prescribed by his duty in
the whole course of his mission. This conduit is
also the only one conformable to that lore of pe.tce,
which charadeaises all the pi oceeffings of the King,
his Master.

*, When the Undersigned considers, that be came
to Paris to make peace, on conditions understood to
have been r.opcised by France ; that notnithstand-
ing thr refusal of His Majesty of all the Hussies to
ratify the treaty signed by M. D'Oubril, and the
sign:l advantages obtained by His Majesty's arms in
Spanish America, he frlt himself able to give as he
has had the honour to do) to t is Excellency the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, assurances, that eio de-
mands of his Court, in its own favour, would not he
essentially augmented : the Undersigned could not
be but surprised at observing the wish of imputing to
his Government an intention of shewing itself impe-
rious, and inclined to exaggerate. He is nit less
surprised, that in answering a note, in which he had
the honour to explain distindly to his Excellency,
that it was en the conditions announced by his Ex-
cellency Baron De Budberg, that claims in favour
of Russia were insisted on, his Excellency has
thought it his duty to mark with the stamp of re-
probation, conditions proposed under circumstances
totally different, by M. Novosilltisif, and of the na-
ture of which the Undersigned finds himself, in fad,
completely ignorant.
In short, after having explained himself to his
Excellency as the Undersigned has done, and after
having given him to understand, that he is only
authorised to treat in a way certain to himself, that
peace with Great Britain and Russia shall be made
at the same moment ; and, after having received,
in the official note of yesterday, the assuraner, that
the French Government does not Refuse the admis-
sion of an article which shall have for its end the
attainment of that indispensible object, the Under-
signed has no slifficulty in resuming the conferences
with their Excellencies the French Plenipotentiaries,
the instant their Excellencies shall have 'been au-
thorised to that die&

his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affaits, the
assurance of his high consideration.
