DECLARATION.

The Plenipotentiaries of the Courts, who signed the Treaty of
Peace of Parin, of
.the 30th of May, 1814, have taken int., consi-
deration the 32(1 article of that Treaty, which declares that all the
powers engaged on both sides in the late war, shall send Plenipo-
tentiaries to Vienna, in order to regulate in a General Congress, the
arrangements necessary for completing the enaetmet ot the !,aid
Treaty; and after having maturely reflected on the z.ituation itt
which they are placed, and on the duties imposed upon them, they
have agreed that they could not better fulfil them, than by esta-
blishing, in the first, instance, free and confidential COMMlllikatifilli
bettiTell the Plenipotentiaries of all the Powers.
Bait they are at the same time convinced, that it is the interest
of all parties concerned, to postpone the general a.sembly of their
Plenipotentiaries, till the period when the questions on which it
will be their duty to pronounce shall have attained such a degree
of maturity, as that the result may correspond to the principles of
public law, the stipulations of the Treaty of Peace, and the
_last
expectations of contemporaries. The formal openin of the Con.
gress will therefore be adjourned to the Ist of November, and the
aforesaid Plenipotentiaries natter themselves that the labours to
which the intervening period shall be devoted, by fixing ideas and
conciliating opinions, will essentially advance the great work which
k the object of their common mission.
