met ...t it in eurnm m with H s Nfajemy the Emperor. The
Cabinet of St, Cloud thought wryer to assert, that the dignity
of King of England, and that of Elector of lininswick-Limen-
burgh, being united to the same person, were not distinct;
thmigii such distinction was never disputed by the Republican
Government during the last years of the late war; it was,
theretore, contrary to every notion of right aml justice, to make
war upon a country which, by the Commotion of the Ger.
manic Empiric, of which it was part, and the public proceed-
ings by witch it was guaranteed, should be totally exempt
from such a visitation.

" The possession of Cuxhaven, which, under no pret.xt,
could have ben cowi.dered a• English pro;ietty, wa., not. nil-
standing, tift.cted by the Fren,h tuxtp., and the Hanle rowos

Iteu•i 41, that the Neutral Powers, who were alleluia. to reinain
in peace, may feel of tong involved in the war, have been at-
sevted with no effect.

" To time numerous csusee of dissatisfaction, connected
the Signer interim, u. Europe, the Cieivernment of France
has thunght proper to add all those which it could directly offer
+o the Russia, by toe offensive asiertions which it ad-
vanced and circulated agannt Minieers honoured wits the cim-
ficience of His Impethd Majesty; ow the scenes which the Rus-
sian Envoy was co:spelled to witnee at the 'fbuilleries; by the
improper perseverance which the Cabinet of St. Cloud dis-
-14, ed, in persecntiug, iu foreign countries, persons wbo were
employed by the Court of Russia; and, lastly, by that unity,
ampler' pros: dins which it took the liberty of committing,
when it compelled the Pope to deliver up a naturaliteslßtts•
thin, without paying any Tern( to the tepreselitations an.:
drains of His Imperial Majesty en that roiot.
" The recent act of violence, committed by the French tnmie
in the territory of the Elector of Bader, having mused the
anxiety of the Emperor, for the security and independence of
the State+ of Europe. which are within the reach of France,
His Majesty enlivened his opinion as to the necessity of tranquil-
:Wog them on that point ; and that she shou.d make such as-
infection as the Empire had a right to il:mand, and adopt such
measures as might tend to calm the uneasinisi amid slain of
Eunipe. To tilla good office, the Empire received an answer,
which left it nn Ini;es that the just expect:Alan of his Majesty
would be fir Mira ; which gave a wrong interpretation to that
frank, Wei, and disinterested conduct, which His Majesty
constantly held respecting the aliens of Europe, and particularly
with nista to France; and which made it Oat tae clear, that
there was • detomined design to thwart and irritate further the
Court of Ranee.

So lull • attention and cmde<cemion on dm part of the
French Government to the just claims of liu Majesty, and •
c induct so decidedly opposed to any desire of preservii.g a cool
understatidieg between the twn States, sufficiently demonstrated
to Russia, that if, on the one hand, the Frees eh Government
attached apparently but little value to its relations with her, and
co sequently furnished her with a positive teasel' for no longer
continuing them; on the other, she had taken an invarie
