on you. Hitherto, every time that she called upon you, you jus-

" r 1 ii the emleavours of our Emperor to restore long-wanted peace
to Europe, and to fix the peace and welfare of the Empire, which
is inseparable from the peace and welfare of our 'Highborn...l, on a
solid basis, were in vain. Neither constant patience, nor pacific
represuotations, nor the confidential reliture of other belligerent
Powers in the Emperor's councils and measures,—in short, nothing
could bring the mind of the French tiovernment to moderation and
reason.
" Go that day on. which Austria declared herself for the
cause of justice and orler, she likewise took on herself to combat
for the greatest of ail blessings.
" da not singly undertake this combat. We stand in the
same ranks with all .that Europe has to oppose of greatness .and
activity, against the powerful vitality. of her peace and Eberly.
Austria, Rossia, Prussia, Sweden, England, and Spain, all join their
noited endeavours for the same end—for try% ell-fonm7ed and doral;ie
race, a reasonable distrihntion of strength among the different
Status, and the independeace ()revery single Power.
" It is not ag:.inst France, but again,: the domiaating power of
France out of her own borders that this great alliance has raised
t self.
