meat, with whom. the Russians have also co.operated, to
write to your Lordship on the Subjeß of a diversion to be
made:by the British troops, which might occupy, the Pretich,
essentially.. anti terce them to withdraw, a part.oftheir troops
from. this quarter. Monsieur Zastrow made me yesterday a
formal proposition. Marshal Mortier tuiw blockades Stral-
sund with about ao,ooo mere ; it is therefore proposed that,
the British and Swedish troops should in conjunction force
them to, raise that blockade, arid, moving on the lcit,banie of
the Oder, threiten the communication in the rear of the
Finch army: They Might besiege Stettin, which is a large
place with a small. garrison, and in :a bad state of defence ;
were it taken, the communication with Berlin, the,Elbe, and
the rest of CCrmany_would be at once open.
It' the Preach remain in Poland, a considerable force acting
in this manner on their rear, would create the most serious
embarrassments, and pmbably force them to evacuate Po-
land, or at least oblige thenr to detach such a narnber of
troops as would: soon leave them inferior to the Allies,—
Should 'even the Emrich or.renityJhe dine of the Oder,: this
diversion would be of the greatc,it imPqrtitliee, as the Rus-
sians, would, in that case, probably march: with the greaterpart of their army into Silesia.
This proposed operation would be attended with little dan:.
ger, as the British army would always have a retreat upon
Stralsund open to them, and' &bra' thence into the Island of
Rugen, from whence they might.be re.embarked. Stralsiind,
in Summer; is, I believe, a very o'trong place, ,

There is reason to suppose that-it has been forcibly pbt to •?
the Emperenby some people here, little partial to hoglaud,
that Russia is abandoned by her friends ; that the .whele
contest is lett to her, and that.even her ally,, Great Britain,
neglects to spPpoit her at a crisis when any reverse of for.
:tune might endanger-the empire iti;elc. It lathe more .pain-
ful to me that such insinuations should appear -for a moment
to be justified by tact, because 1 know now. little they are
deserved, and how di/hi:rent they ardtroisillitise feeling's dui
both actuate the Covet-wheat and the country at large.
It in for his Majesty's Govr;rnment to deetdc what are the
objecis.of their present pilicy, and what are the means Mo 4

by, the British troops,it is more than probable that the thaive
observations will tectiein full vigour to his Iniperial Nlajes-
