atlai Note of yesterday's dine, Which ' the Count

Impose en the Undersigned the duty of requesting

Although the celerity indispensable te•the exe-
cution of the measuresuf precaution adopted with
regard to Denmark, did not allow of any interior
communications, the Note of the Undersigned,
dated the std of September,' so far from, concealing
the reasons which produced that Expedition, de-
clared theta with frankness,• and'the explanation of
them was repeated and accompanied with details in
the highest degree satisfactory, at the first conference
of the Undersigned with the Ministry-of that day.
Tha, Secret Articles of the Treaty of Tilsit are
moreover still unkuou n to the Court of London ;
PtICI the Undersigned has vainly renuired '6oilllPlr-
ilication'of those arrangements, the etetutiou'lef
which daily developes objeds in no way conformable

prejudithial to those interests; the maintenance of
which formerly.constituted isiiential part of 'the

of secrecy, whilst that Court abthultrtely refuses, the
Only explanation which coul:l have been satisfaaory
to' the Court of London, as to the intentions and
the projeds meditated with regard to her ? This
silence, this extreme reserve, may servesta proof;
that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!' were theinselves
persuaded that their secret 'arrangements Were 'di:.
redly contrary to the interests of Great Britain. As
to the tranquillity of the Balite, England ha never
recogniied any exclusive rights; ‘and whatever may
haVe'been the pretensions of Russia to the title of
Guarantee of • the security of that Sea, her silence;
at the period when every Putt front .Lubeck to Me-

tcratt.urgh, Oct. 29, 1307.
Sir It. Wilson arrived here on SatUrday the 17th,
and delivered to tue your dispatches. The Emperor
baying reunited from the inspeCtion of his Army iu
Poland only on Thursday last, ,and Count Roman-
*off having tor some days previous to that time been
waiting at t.,iat.schina the arrival of Ins Imperial Ma^
jeoty, it was nut till aaturclay. night that .1 succeeded
lit obtaining a conference with the 11Milan Minister.
My reports of the change of Ministry here, and of
the tinfrienttly,tone *lnch has marked thooommu.

that change, will, have dissipited the hopes which
the account of my last conversation General
13thlberg and other representations had his AL-
festy's Government to entertain tif' the future con-
duet of tins Court. -`
I began fay Conference , 'With Count Ilornanzow,
by saying, that I bad received instruCtioris which
were written under .an impression that there existed'
in thiS Cabinet a disposition to renew its tbrindr
footing of confidence with 'the English GOverrrinent;
Lexplained to him what had caused this t.
pression '; and added, •tlitit though his Majesty ceuld g.
regard the energy and resources of his oviti peoplei
as the only sure founclitiotudfthweafety and pros-f
perity o his,k ingdomit yet alwaysiu-
.clined to avail himself of any opening which this

t,
'it, him with frankness what was the nature a these
:instrudionS,. ais Majesty's Declaration, I observed,
„ suflicieutly.explained to .Europe, that the Court of
' London had no views of aggrandizing or enriching.
itself at the expellee of Denmark. For the security
of. the -AriListi dominions, his Majesty had been
forced to remove out of the reach of France the
' Naval means of Denmark ; but this objet being
accomplished, the English Government Were ready
to forc.'any advantage that,,might be derived to
firer tsritatti from the continuance of this War ;
and his Majesty v. ready tocnneert with Russia the
means .pt . re-establishing tlie tranquillity of the
i North of.Enropei, • Thi4.t., °hie& conld ba obtained.
wily by the rt..storation of .the Neutrality of Dens
mark,
,and that Neittrality could be rendered real
and permanent only through the means of Russia.
The Court of PetAtburgh, I said, was even more
interested than the Court of London in the success
of this.Negocitttien.
Count Romanzow 'atiawered, " How can Russia
recommend to Detuark to submit to the affront she
had received, and to endure with patience all her
10503 ?" I replied, " If by the Continuance of the
war, Denmark could hope to recover her Fleet, she
might with reason be IndNposed to listen to such
. advice; but when it was evident to every person,
who refie6teci for a moment on the actual state of
' things',-that:tlae Court of Copenhagen, by the con=
tinuanCe of the ',war, could gain nothing but the en-
trance of a French army into the body of its t, rritgry,
I could not but think that a friendly, representation'
from a Neutral Power, of a danger which threaten.
ed the very e7liStenee of Denmark, • might recall the
Prince Royal to a more dispassionate consideration
of the Teal interests of his Country." . .
Conk ' Romanzow repeated to me, that he did
not ski how the court of St. 'Petersburg!! 'coutd in-
, terfere ;' but .added, that he could give me"no posi-
tive.answer to what I had represented to' him, till,

On Sattirday morning .the ;31st ultimo, no borice
having been taken by Count Roinan:4oe.:., either of
my Note of:the Q3d,br-of my verbal overtures re-
speeting Denmark, 1 requested of his Excellency an

311 y regret atoeing.uncler the neeessityot reminding
Inin that- I had two .days before request,d a courer-

:which he 'informs me; that he is by order-of the
-Emperor going. to Gatsehina, and. -tla .he
•till his return to St. Petersburgh, mention. tlie ,iron
.wliva he can receive me. This detail Of t
citifies thave experienced in obtaining an in:J.7% en.v-

the opinion of hi Majesty of any dilatorin in
the exeentionof your instrtidions. I confess that
am at a loss to tithl any satisfaaory explanation of
this wish to avoid communication with .Me.. I liav
' been informed that sortie • Members of the Council,
who have been/ `consulted in the present very criti.
