the dispatches he received from St, Petersburgh

Flaw to write to him, upon the elfin s of his depart-
tueut, a letter of four pages, which places him
altogether as cornrow. before he received it he
scarcely conceived himself to he Minister foe Fo-
reign Aluirs he :vas no longer informed of any
thing. Ile had the kindness to give tne aO snub sir
of it—it is as follows.
" The Eruperiir of Mona speaks of the success he
has just obtained in Finland—yet he is but half-
satisfied with General Buxhowden, and he 1114q11111

nieut deprives him of almost all Wipe of a speedy
peace—yet he thinia that it is of ittipoetionce always

Kotarakin, who had given him an act:omit of the
little success he had bed in demanding of the Court
of Vicuna the ackeowledgment uf.losepli the First.
M. Or Roulet:tut read me this letter of the Etnpe-
ror to Preece think your Majesty will
be satisfied with it. The Emperor of Russia is
astonished at the refusal of Austria, under the pre-
text on which it is founded. Austria a ishes first to
know the result of the conferences of Erfurth, .1.
it by .disobliging; says the Emperor, 6 that she
prseends to meek complaisance ? IVlty is she un-
easy ut what he been signed at Erfurt!, ? Far
from having wirlied to injure the interests of Aus-
tria, there was stipulated there, the integrity of that
Monarchy (This 'assertion evidently a mistake ut
the Emperor's who hail not the Treaty before
an error occasioned probable he the recollection of
some converinitions with your Majesty.) •Thas,
whilst 1 sun occupied with her interests,' continues
the Emperor,' she replica by a refried to accede to
the demand I had mule of her, sod in viewing to

Austria of ceititrudictions in all her emidoset, and in
the languor: of M. De Metternich, M. De Stadion,
avid M. Vocent ; hr says, that the acknowledg-
ment deinttaided of her, was but the effect of the
mussiagesiott which k was wiSheil to skew hero jos

litary force. lie does Out see shat is the object
which she is pursuing ; and afteethusing
that whets King Joseph shell be at Mintriel, the re-
fusal of Austria to acknowledge lii-a will only be an
act of ridicule, he declares that if rue hum formed

leaguing :herself with England, Tnrkey, and the
Spottista icsurgeuts, i.e is in iscondition to oppose it,
