FULL POWERS OF M. D'OURRIL.

" We, ALEXANDER I. Emperor-and Autocrat of
all the Russiass &c. &c. &c. (through all the titles of
his Majesty.) . .•
!' Being glinted by a Solicitude' for the preservair
Con of Etirope in a state of calM and tranquillity,
arid animated by a sincere desire to put an end to
mistinderstanding, and re-establish Peace with`
France on solid bases, we have considered it proper'
to commit this task to a person enjoying our confi
dunce. For that purpose we have nominated, ap
pointed, and authorized; our trusty and well-beloved-
PIERRE OUBRIL, Counsellor of State, and Knight
of the Orders of St. Wolodimir, of the ftird class,
of St. Anne of the Second, and of St. John of Je-
rusalem, whom we do nominate, appoint, and au-
thorise, by these presents, for the purpose and to
the intent of entering into conference with the per-
son or persons who shall be properly authorised on
the part of the French Government, and of 'con-
cluding. and signing with them an A& or Convention
upon bases proper for the settlement of Peace which
is to be established between Russia and France, and
to lay the foundation of Peace between the .other
Belligerent Powers of Europe:
“ We promise on our Imperial word, to take for
granted, and to execute faithfully, all that shall be
agreed upon and signed by our said Plenipotentiary;
and also to give our Imperial ratification within the '
).:
time which shall be agreed upon. • ;117;
• " In testimony of which we have signed these Pull
powers, and have affixed thereto the seal of our
Empire.

PARIS, SEPT. 6.—" The Treaty of Peace be-
twL.Nn Trance and Russia has not been ratified by
the Emperor ALEXANDER. It would be diit-esult
to find out'. an excuse or a plausible reason in the,
laws of. public or private morality for this-strange
refusal. We see no pretext, nor even any. subter:'
fuge, for ill faith. I t cannot be alledged that -the;
Russian Plenipotentiary stepped beyond his atitho..‘

•

. ..
I 'lit), . N'ts.%,e'r were powers tncl:t unlitn,tteu gild,
nor was there ever a proMise to ratify a Treaty more
formal or more positive. A .constant intelligence
was remarked. in the course 'of the Negotiations be-
t Ween the courts of -St. Pete'rsburgh and London,
to advance, delay, or break them off. The mo-
t. ment the Treaty was signed M. D'OUBRIL sent a
! Courier publicly to London, to inforni the Russian
Ambassador of what had just taken place. But
this might be considered as the premature'notifiCa-
tion of a Treaty which the Imperial 7.t.461 naturally
held out as ratified. In these circumstances Russia
made extraordinary levies—England, it was well-
known, was preparing Exp'editions—but still upon
the Imperial word, it was natural. to believe the
Treaty would be ratiliedand the Emperor NAPO-
LEON gave so far this testimony of confidence in the
good faith of the EMperor of .I.lifs.lia, that he di-
reetly issued orders for the cessation of all hostili-
ties.. This generous precipitancy- reminds us of
the sending back of the Russian prisoners td PAUL
T. and of those sent back to his son last campaign
this continuation of generosity !forms a singular aid-
trast with the perseverance of hostile sentiments
which the Emperors of Russia observe towards the
Emperor of the French, and would alone *suffice to
mark the difference of their cauSes. .
" The Emperor ALEXANDER may openly set
forth the new grievances he has against Fratice.
Faithful to the prineiples of the Treaty of PreS-
burgh, she has only completed its execution. The
organization of the Germanic Confederation was
its inevitable consequence—it consecrated the inde-
pendence of the States which compose it—irrevoca-
bly regulated their relations, and put them in bar-,
molly with their interests.. This association had
been long foreseen and cal:el for, as essential to
the future repose of Europe: • The communications.
made in this respect between the Members of the
Germanic Body had commenced several months
prior- to! M. IYOusam's mission to Paris. , The

pad was -made and known previous to the signa-
ture of the Treaty of Peace, and France was in the
same attitude—she alone had a right to complain
that a Russian Division persisted in the occupation of
a neutral territory.
" For want of plausible reasons, we may seek
for the secret motive of this rupture ; we shall
find it, however, to be no more dictated by the inte-
rest of Russia, than it is by the laws of 'honour
and justice. •
" For these 15 years past a war has been carried
on against France. which has indeed often changed
its name or its pretext ; but the constant aim of
which has been to lower or destroy the French.
power. • However, the obstacles set against her have
only served as steps to her elevation; the fate of
arms has left no other bounds to her preponderance
than het own moderation ; and such has been her
fortune, that the most obstinate of her' enemies saw•
‘)eace as the only resource, and the. sole means of
:tipping the flight she had taken.-At the time of
the organization of the new Ministry, there ap-
Peated under their auspices at London, a work in
which this opinion was laid down in a spirit which
announced, perhaps, less the desire than the neces-
sity of making peace. Whilst the author reprOach-
ed the farmer Ministers with their inconsistency,
their precipitation, their\coalitions ill formed and ill
conchieled, he considered peace as the best means of
One day attacking.
,France with success, of, 'ex-
tinguishing by degrees her military spirit, of ruining ,
her alliances, and repairing the loss of the Allies ; of
concerting more feasible designs, and waiting for
more favourable occasions.—The Morning. Chronicle
of the 21st and 22d, following the same principles,
does not fear to affirm that no Power is now able
to attack the prosperity of France, and advises her
Enemies to adjourn their resentment. Thus, ac-
cording to the most moderate writers, the English Go-
v'ertiment would never see any thing in peace but
means of more advantageously making war. The
metotiations then open would be snares, the olive
branch they hold out a poison. Under such cir-
cumstances;wirli such Enemies, France owes thanks
to him, who, penetrating their designs, has found
means to secure himself against them. But from
the fatality ever attached fti their plots, after reveal-
ing their, secrets, they have again betrayed. their
cause. Their position is not More favourable than
.at the ,encl. of last war. They have neither more
skilful Generals, better'exercised Soldiers, nor 'better
concertect•designs. If they again find Allies on' the
Continent, they devote them to certain ruin.' The
Emperor, NAPOLEON has read their thoughts; be
ihas known how to avail himself of the advantages
oftikis vidory ;he has been Obliged-to keep his
• 5 A
tary,,attituae ; and, happily for the future tranquil-
liPy of Europe, those who wish only for truces, those
,m 711,0 waited for, his sleep, and can keep neither
their word nor their treaties, will' find him still
more formidable than in the plains of musterLf

PARIS, SEPT. B,—Yesterday bis Majesty the
Em-
peror and King received, at a private audience, at
the Palace of St. 'Cloud, iris Excellency the Marquis
De LUCCHESINI, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary froth his Majesty the King of Prussia.
His Exeellency presented his letters of recall.
After the audience, his ExCellency General Kxo-
BELSbOIiF was introduced into:the Cabinet of the
Emperor, and presented his credentials as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from his
Majesty -the King of Prussia, to his Majesty the
Emperor and King.
VIENNA, AUG. 23.—The Diet will be assem-
. _

_ .
bled in Hungary, in the course of next month, when
~t4e bases will be proposed of a new Constitution,
l$
ore beneficial to that kingdom. It . appears to
r.have no other objet 'than to recompense the un-
shaken fidelity of the Hungarians towards the House
of Austria. .

BERLIN, AUG. KNOBELSDORF, who re

pairs.to Paris as Envoy Extraordinary, was to haVe
gone to Constantinople as Ambassador; this change
leaves room to presume that M. DE KNOBELSDOIIP
may 'remain' a long time at Paris.. Our Politicians
speak already of a journey to be made by "the Mar-
quis of LUCCHESINI ; but the a6tivity which reigns.
in our diplomatic relations is so ample a source of
conjecture, that' it is not necessary to add to it.
The sudden arrival of Prince WITGENSTEIN, his
Majesty's Minister to' the Eleeior of Hesse, has..
even rise to several conferences, whence people/ pre-
'me that a closer .alliance is forming between our
ourt and that of Cassel. TwO other Ministers of.
Majesty.are also arrived. in this thy, viz. taron

•
-JAContA 'uorAr, -necredite.3' to' the Court of
London, and M. DE CAsAß;accredited to the Hague. Baron DE HAENLIPLE repairs to Dresden; as hit
.11jesty's Minister, to confer, there with the Eleao-
ral Minister,- upon the organization of the Plan of
Constitution for the North of Germany. Measures
are, taken, both - at Dresden and Cassel, tO forward
this grand Plan.

MajOr7General DE Prunt. has -been sent by His
Majesty to Brunswick, because an indisposition pre;
wilted WS Serene Highness froM. repairihg hither,
in consequence of the invitation sent by his Majes-
ty.,
_.-•His. Serene HighneSs'S arrival had been pre-
maturely announced. The exchange of Couriers
bet Ween Berlin and St. Petersburgh is more active
than ever ; these couriers are the bearers of letters
written by the two,Sovereigns themselves.
The Prince of FIOLIENLOHE INDELFINGEN is go-
ing to take the command of the Army of Silesia, and
his Royal Highness Prince LOUIS FEEDINAIiD of
Prussia will command the one assembling in the -61-
,1 virons of Magdeburgh.
The Prince of BARATINSKY, Chamberlain to the
Emperor of Russia; is arrived here from Russia: M.
D'ARSENIEFF, Captain in the Russian serviee, is set
out from Berlin for Dresden. Within these few days
past several French and Russian Couriers have passed
through here. -
WEsEL, AUG. 26.--The fortifications of our town
and of the citadel are going to be considerably extend-
ed; the workS will immediately begin—the necessary
materials are colle&ing throughout , the surrounding
countries, and even as tar as Holland; the contraaors
are shortly to furnish several thousand brick's. It is
said, that ifew incidents have given rise to some di-
•plornatic discussions, which have delayed the new ar-
rangements to betaken in the North of Germany.- It
is added, that proposals have been made to the King
of Prussia, for the purpose of more Lily concen-
trating 'his States, to give up his possesSionS in
Westphalia, and a part of the Country of Hanover,.
for indemnities in Saxony; that East Friezland,
with the port of Embden, Will aggrandize Holland;
that the rest of Western Westphalia will be join:-
ed to the States of the Grand Duke Of 'Berg; • and
that Eastern Westphalia will be sTiVen, with a
part of Hanover, to the Ele&or of Hesse; who, in
his turn, will cede the County of Hanau and a part
of his-other possessions.- LusaCe and the Sovereign-
ty over all the Petty States of the North of Germany
will also, according to this plan, devolve to the King
of Prussia, &c. We shall shortly know whether these'
reports haVe any foundation. Some travellers late-
ly come from
_Russia announce, that from St. Peters-
burgh to Russian Poland there are different camps of
troops, and that many magazines have been esta—
blished along that road.
Letters from Dresden announce, that several CH.::
cies of the Ele6torate of Saiony have demanded the
establishment of the Provincial Militia, and that the
Ministers are settling a plan for this _purpose. The
present period is highly favourable to this plan ; for
the stagnation in most.of themanufaCtories of Saxony
has left a considerable number of work Men only_the
resource of military service.

NAPLES, AUG. 17.—The Chiefs of a Conspiracy
which tended to nothing, less than to murder air the
friends of the French, were arrested the very night
their plot was to have been put in execution ; viz.
the Reverend Father ANTHONY DE CUTHO, a Fran-
-ciscart. Friar ' • R ANTON IA MELLICA, ANDREW
SOLLA, arid MICHAEL At.BANESE. Their whole
correspondence, and the other proofs of their
horrible scheme, were seized upon them. Upon
being tried before the Military Commission of Cas-
tel-Nuovo, they were found guilty, and condemned
to death on the 11 th inst. This sentence was exe-
cuted the following day.—Moniteur Aapolitain. •

ST. GALLE, AUG.. 28.7—The most ef6cacious mea-
sures are adopting in Switzerland, to carry into effectt
the Decree of the Diet, relative to the prohibition of
the introduelion of English merchandize.
