The. following is rthe text of the Circular Note,
•
addressed by M. Drouyn. de .to the rppreseit-
'tu,;:ives of France ,at . thy; various German Courts.
It Lidars date the 27. th. of-March :--
" Sir'=-The journals have given tbetext of a despatch from
the Baron de Maritenffel, addressed on the2d of the present
month to Count Hatzfeldt.. Though I do not impute to the
Cabinet of Berlin the publication of this document through
'the press, it seems tome indispensable that I should repro-
duce with more force the opinion I have already expressed
on its contents to, the Prussian *Mister.:
" What I with first to COntestiOlie doctrineaccOrding to
which it will be forbidden to FOreign'PeAvers to take notice
of the internal deliberatiohis cif the Frankfort Diet. Ask long
as those deliberations have no object but German inteielts;
France, fnain the 'respect it' bears to'the independence
of Germany, will have neither advice to give 'nor action
to exercise; but evidently, it cannot be lo circum-
stances of a nature to .affect the relations she is bent . on
entertaining with Prussia and Austria. A frank and fore-
seeing diplomacy holds it a first duty to be infOrmed of
such dispositions as it may haye one day to second or
-oppose. Its part is not to react against accomplished
or decided facts. It consists iather in preventing, by ,
vigilance and frankness, such incidents as, having occurred,
would. draw afar them vexatious consequences. It can-
not, then, be doubted that'the attitude of M. de Bismark,
in the sitting of the 22d of February, would legitimately
challenge our attention, since-it was at. the same time sde-.
netinced as dangerous by the Cabinet of Vienna, doubtless as
jealous as the Cabinet of Berlin for the dignity of that Con,-.
federation raver which it presides. pointing
„out, on,
our own part, a tendency that seemed to us hostile, and
one which the Baron de Manteuffel has disafowed, we'
only desired to arrest j. 4 its origin .a conflict not less Con-
trary to the declarations of Prussia than to our own it!-
tentions in her respect.
".I regret, then, sir, that the des-patch addressed to Count
•flatzfeldt has changed the field of debate, and placed• she
under the obligation of verifying the solidity of the ground
on which we are now called to discuss. It would be in
my Opinion singularly to lessen the importance of the Diet
and the States coreposingit to maintain, when an opinion
advanced at Frankfort has been ze-echoed sufficiently to
be heard beyond the circle of Federal deliberation, that no
Foreign Power has any cause for taking it into considera-
tiont and, if there be .eceasion, for reasoning on it. with,
the 'Cabinet from whose representative it emanated, . I ac-'
cept, I repeat, no such doctrine;and I desired the Marquis
db Monstier to say so to Baron de Manteuffel.
"Neither can I admit, vagueimputatione of ill-will to-
wards Prussia to be thrown on the Emperor's agents abroad.
If-we have complained, we have stated precise facts—we
have quoted names. We have not acted in, altpirit ()treed-,
mination, but in a spirit of confidence and concord.l . We
have attributed to the Prussian Government the sentiments
with which we ourselves ore animated/ and have franklY

Baron de•Manteuffel can hare to demand from me. But I
confess what has most surprised ine in the desPatch I am
examining/ is+ the regret expressed at the want of a paper
that, by establishing, in an ohligatary manner, the identity
of the political views of Irruisia and France; would put an
end to the divergencies o:their respective legations.'Bir, I
