General Budberg, in the course of the conversa-

the inconvenience and difficulty of impeding the
payment of the troops stationed. beyond the frontiers,
as highly unfavourable to the efforts of this Country,
and. told me that he had already consulted *with the
MiniSter of Finance rettpe(ting the possibility of
raising a Iltissian Loan in England to a considerable
amount. His Excellency requestcd'me to state it
thought his Majesty's Government would be dispos-

replied, that although Great 'Britain had sufficiently
proved a 'desit'e to forward every measure conneaed
with the common cause, it was impossible for me to
give a sat isfitetot y answer, 'Unless knew the amount
of the security, and terms upon which it is proposed
to raise the sum required. Baron Bbdberg assured
me he had hitherto solittle considered the subje6t,
that it was impossible to reply to these questions,
though he begged I would mention the wish as ex-
pre,sed on his part to the King's Government;
serving, when I mentioned the circumstances re-
spe6ting the former Austrian Loan, that the present
proposition differed widely front that of the Court of
Vienna, 'becuatie it is not the. intention of the Em-
peror to demand a subsi:ly,.
