_Manifesto vas read in the Senate on the 30th ult.
We, ALEXANDER the FIRST; by God's :Orace.
Emperor and Autocrat of all the RusSias, declare
and make known to all our faithful "Jubjeds, that, ;n
our incessant care and solicitude for the Welfare -of
the interior of our Empire, equally ,with its foreign
relations, it has ever.been our wish to establish them
upon an immoveable basis, and to defend the State
by such alliances .as the. situation of our Country
May tequire. ,

With this view, we have. thought proper, from
.the commencement of our reign, to remove every
cause of misunderstanding, and, by a friendly con-.
dud, to unite with those rowers .whose wise and
'moderate principles were consistent \with their in-
dependence and the genpral tranquillity. The
Most High _blessed our wishes and -endear ours,
and of that period bestowed upon Europe a Gene. •
yal Peace.

" However, it did not consist with his inskuta-
ble Providence to prolong the continuance of this
order-of things•-.--War broke out again.
" But as our-situation did nbt permit • us to take
any immediate part in the War, we never ceased to
remain faithful,to our Allies, and Lo continue. to wish
and labour_ for peace and tranquillity,. consistently
with the-coal/ non welfare, by every, friendly inter-
ferencs, in .our power. ,__

" But, notwithstanding. thiS interference, the
daily increase of 'the French power, the-situation of
our Allies,, threatened by its aggrandizement and
its unbounded ambition, compelled us to take an
aCtive part in the W.:r. We took,up armsbut we
did not cease 'to wish for peace ; and we also de-
clared, in ovr Urkase•of Septeniber t , t i 0.5, that the
obje& of our arming was to preserve the sacred in-
Violability of Treaties, and to restore the general

arms of our Allies operated against the realization.
of ourviewS : however, the principles upon which
they were grounded remained intehanged. , At the
commencement of the present year thz-, French Go-
.Vernment :Manifested- an inclination approximating
.to. Peace : we accordingly issued orders to enter into
discussions with them itniuediately.

" The restoration of Rnce, consistent with the
dignity and 'security of our Empire, the advantage
of our Allies, and the general tranpullity of Europe,
were laid down as the fundamental bases. 'of-the„se
discussions.. But, to .-our. regret, the conditions; of
• Peace agreed to with France t,y M. D'Oti.uatt, were
neither consistent with the-dignity of our Empire.,
nor with the security of our Adies., We. refused to
ratify . those conditions.
" But at the same time, to affird a proof of the
immutability of ourTriacip!es, which, 'mkr various
circumstances, had been ever directed to the same
end, we at that time made known the conditions on
which we were disposed to renew our negeti9tionS
with the French Government. • . .

" The bases proposed by us are so moderate, that
they cannot be rejected without in open menace of
the general safety ; and they are so consi'stent with
the advantage of every Power concerned, that in case
of their being accepted, a General Peace must not
only follow, but he confirmed to Eurbpe 'upon the
most permanent footing.
" Thus must Peace, or the continuance of the
War, be the consequence of these measures. We
wish for Peace but if no lasting PeaCe can be ob-
tained, grounded upori mutual 'advantage, .then it
will be necessary, for the honour of the Russian
name, the sacred ,chargter of our engagements,
and the general deliverance of Europe, to pro=.
ceed to extremities, mlich, on' these considera-
tions, cannot but appear to us as absoldtely in-
dispensible.

We are convinced that the Providence of the
Most High, who isithe Defender, of Truth, Will as-
sert With his strong arm the justice of our cause.

" We are convinced that each of 'our faithful
subje&s, animated with the love of their Country, .
impelled by a sense of hdriburi and surrounded by
examples of patriotic zeal, will speedily unite their
powerful efforts with our own, as soon as the safety
of Russia, the voice of glory- and our command,
shall call upon them to co-operate for the public
good.
" In this firm reliance upon the help .of God and
the zeal of our faithful subjetls, we have thought it
necessary to inform you beforehand of our view's.;
and in so doing to afford you a new proof, that\in all,
our undertakings we neitheY seek the extension of
our territory, nor the fleeting glory of victories ;. but
that it is our wish and endeavour to secure the gene-
ral safety, the preservation -of our Allies, and the
dignity of our Empire.

" Given at St. Petersburgh, Aug. 30i
• and in the 6th year of our Govern-
ment.

" MOST. GRACIOUS LORD,

rashness, and perfidy of The Enemy, are compared
with yoUr Maj'qsty's condescension and mildnesS:
Then Will Or Enemy learn, that even your mo-
deration has its bounds prescribed by the dignity
