es an mbitress to regulate the common interests of
nations, and wishes to exclude every other Staee
from taking any part in the maintenance of Iran-
qiaillity and the balance of power. One she would
exclude, because it is the distant ; another, because
it is separated by An arm of the sea from the Conti-
nent ; and, evading an answer to the remonstrances
of the Powers nearest the danger, assembles troops
on their frontiers, and threatens them with a rupture.
if they place themselves in a state of defence.
" Under such circumstances, it becomes necessary
for other Powers to arm, to support each other, and
to join in mAinteiiiing their own, and the general
security. Thus the military preparations of the
Court of Vienna are provoked by the preparations of
France, as well as by her negleet of all means of se-
curing and maintah.ing a true peace, and future
tranquillity.
" All Europe knows the sincerity of the wish for
peace which His Imperial Majesty has di.played,
and the punctuality wherewith he has fulfilled the
oblieetioes of the Treaty of Ltineville; that sincerity
cannot fail to be recognised in the great concessions
made in consequence ot the injurious extension given
to that Treaty in GermAity, and in the not less great
mnderation with which His Imperial Majesty itas
crindueled himself on the first departure of the
French Republic from that ti eety, in tespea to the
concerns of the other Republics. While these
changes wete ascribed to the necessity of securing
From all danger the disclosure of the plans for the
restoration of Monarchical Government is France,
His Majesty made no difficulty to recognise the
stare of things which, towards the end of the year
imrz, was established in Italy. His Majesty's con-
fidence in the views of the First Consul was con-
firmed by the obligations which the latter owed to
the Italian Republic in his character of Piesident,
he his frequent And solemn assurances, before and
after his elevation to the Imperial dignity, that he
was far from entertaining any plates of farther Ag-
grandisement or of encroachment on the independ-
ence of the Italian States. In fine, by the pledges
which he had given to the Emperor of Russie, par-
ticularly with respell to the indemnification of the
King of Sardinia, and the general arrangement of
the affairs of Italy.
tf All these considerations concurred in exciting
and cherishing in His Majesty's bosom the hope,
that the consolidation of the new Empire of the
French, would speedily bring back the policy and
proceedings of its Government, to a system of de-
portmem, compatible with the balance of power,
and the safety of F.utope ; and some time aft*.
when the first reports of new-meditated changes in
the States of Lombardy, induced the Ambassador
from the Court of Vienna, at Paris, to demand ex-
plenatioes upon this subjeli, His Majesty, by the
official assurance, communicated in the name of the
Emperor Napoleon, was confirmed in his homes,
that the Italian Republic would not be uniteelmish
France, and that no innovation should take *tee
which might prove injurious to its political inde-
pendence. -
" Europe will decide whether these promises have
been fulfilled. The Emperor has aot. N1M*149.1
demand their execution, as the caseeependebsee
evinces, which took place between the two Gramm-
mints, and also the official and ostensible proposi-
tions which were transmitted to the Ambassador,
Count Philip (obentrel ; and, though the notes in
which the Emperor Napoleon communicated his in-
tentions as to the esteblishmeet of a kingdom of
Italy, were accompanied with threats and military
preparations ; though every thing, at the very time,
indicated what events have since confirmed, that the
Emperor of the French was resolved to ace emplieli
these innovations by force, His Majesty, nevetalte-
less, did net remonstrate agaiust disposhines, ich
were announced to him as nothing mole than a pro-
visional arrangement. lie rested satisfied with re-
futing the charges which furnished a pretest for
those menaces, and with expressing his hope, that
the principle of separation and independence, which
had been consectAttel by the treaty, should be car-
ried into complete execution by the definitive ar-
rangements, which the Emperor Napoleon left to
depend upon ulterior negociations with the Courts
of St. Petcrsbugh and London, at the period of the
re-establishment of peace.
" 1 hese negociations were, in fad, the only hope
which remained to His Majesty of succeedino by
conciliatory means, in maintaining peace, and, ul-
timately, to restore repose to Europe, which, from
its northern to its southern extremity, laboured tin-
der alarms excited by enterprises, which momenta-
rily increased, both in number and magnitude.
" His Majesty the Emperor of the French had
made a pacific overture to the King of England, in
terms which pretended to preclude the later from
the right of taking any concern in the important in-
terests of the Continent. This restridion, combined
with the relations existing between the King of
England and the Cosa of St. Petersburgh, in-
duced His Britannic Majesty to have recourse to
the mediation of His Majesty the Emperor of Rus-
sia. Notwithstanding the suspension of all official
relations with France, His Majesty did not hesitate
to employ his mediation, to depatch All Ambassa-
dor for that purpose, and to make application to
the Sovereign of France to furnish him with pass-
ports.
tt The hopes, however, to which these pacific
steps gave birth, speedily vanished. At the very
moment when the requisite passports were trans-
mitted to the Russian Negotiator, to enable him to
proceed nn his jeurney to France. fresh attacks were
made on the political existence of other independent
States in Italy. From that instant, the Emperor
Alexander conceived that his character must have
been compromised as a mediator. On the other
Land, French armies were rapidly ass °milled in
Italy, without any regard to the promises given, that
no military preparation, should take place in that
country. An eucarnpment of 90,000 men in the
plain of Marengo, was speedily followed by another
encampment of 40,000 on the frontiers of the Tyrol
and the Austto-Venetian provinces. I lis Majesty thus
found himself under the necessity of providiug, with-
out delay, for his own safety. Ile was now convinced
that his pacific, friendly, and moderate sentiments,
were not met by such sentiments on the part of His
Majesty the Emperor of the French, es to permit
him any long e to neeleet taking the necessary rnee-
lutes for asserting /us jta t rights, end maintaining
the dignity of his Empire.

tam rhat just equipoise which depends en the mo-
deration of all the Powers interested, and which is
calculated to secure the balance, and the permanent
tranquillity of Europe.
" The step by which His Majesty has, at the
same time, invited all the Courts interested, to re-
new the negotiations which have been broken off,
is direeted to the same objeft. 111 e unexpefted re-
jeftion which his interposition has experienced on
the part of His Majesty, the Emperor of the French,
does not prevent him from renewing that invitation.
" He has been more foitunate in his application
to the Emperor Alexander. This monarch, who
fills so hoiourable and distinguished a place in the
senate of the Powers of Europe, whose equality and
general prosperity form the objeds of h,s constant
solicitude, testifies, in the answer which he has trans-
mitted, and which is hereto annexed [Mk supra]
similar wish with that of His Majesty, for the con-
clusion of a just and moderate arrangement. He is
also convinced of the necessity of an eventual arma-
ment ; and, on account of the distance which lie has
to pas., in order to support the cause of justice and
the issue of his moderation, he feels it to be his duty
to cause a part of his troops to advance, for the pur.
pose of conferring on the said mediation all the im-
portance and all the effect which are worthy of so
great a Power.
" As a demonstration of the reditude of the
sentiments entertained by the two Imperial Courts
of Austria and Russia, it is hereby formally de-
clare,' in the name of both :

" That they are ready to enter into a negociitioe
with France, for maintaining the peace of the Con-
tinent on the most model-Ate terms which are com-
patible with the general tranquillity and security :
" That whatever shill be the issue of the aegoci-
ations, and even should the commencement of hos-

tilities become unavoidable, they, at the same time,
*dee themselves to abstain from every proceeding
tending to interfere with the internal concerns of
France; or to alter the state of possession, and the
legally-existing relations in the German Empire ;
or, in the slightest degree, to injure the rights or
interests of the Ottoman Porte, the integrity of
whose domir.ions they are, on the contary, prepared
to defend to the utmost of their power :
" Finally, that the sentiments of Greet Britain
are conformable with tho<e harein expressed, and
that she hu displayed the same moderate disposition
fur the reuoratton of pence between her and France.

" His Majesty hopes that this sincere and frank
adoration will serve to remove any doubts which
-Majesty the Emperor Napoleon may entertain
veaptileing his views and motives. His Majesty will
be happy, and his highest wish will be gratified, if
this Declaration tend to prevent these misfortunes
which at is not in his power alone to avert from
uankind."
