RUSSIALV NOTE.

REFUTATION OF CERTAIN MISREPRESENTATIONS

WHICH HAVE BEEN CIRCULATED WITH A MA-.

LIGNANT DESIGN.

" Having remarked, in -different -Journals, ra;..
rious misrepresentations respelling the mission
with which Prince DoLcoßticiZz - was charged, on
the part of his Sovereign, to BONAPARTE—mist&
presentations which have been san&ioned by the
Thirtieth Bulletin of the French Army—it is - be-
come necessary, to refute them, to prevent the
forgers of false intelligence from continuing their
practices.

" The Russian Officer who was sent. to BONA.*
PARTE, at his 'request, after the refusal of. the Em-
peror'of, RUSSIA to have an interview with him,
upon his arrival at the advanced posts of the French
Army, .did not. wait long before he saw BONA.
raitTeapproach, guarded by two squadrons.
approached the Russian Officer with great polite-
ness, and conversed with him for some time, as they
walked on the road, about uninteresting subje6ts ;
then, making a sudden stop, he said, ' Well, then,
are we to, fight much longer '?'—Upon receiving for
answer that it was impossible to decide that point,
he asked, What do they'. went of me Why
does the Emperor of RUSSIA make war upon me ?'
What does he repire of me P'—Upon which a
political discussion arose, which was not begun
by the Russian Officer : on the contrary, he wF.s.
drawn into it by the questions, of a political ten-
dency, put to him by BONAPARTE. it would take
up too much time to relate all that passed in this
conversation; BONAPARTE frequently repeated, that
the Emperor of RUSSIA had only to invade the pos-
-sessions of his Allies, and that ail discussion with
France would cease. He spoke of the Ottoman
Porte, and, in a vague manner, of other countries
bordering upon Russia. Upon the visible repug-
nance manifested by the Russian Officer towards
proposals so little worthy of the acknowledped cha-
raCter of his Sovereign, BONAPARTE returned to the
subject of his being ignorant why they made war
upon,hirti, although it had been mentioned to him
several times, that the Emperor of Russia's only
reason for arming was to succour Austria, and to
preserve the independence of the other States of
Europe, without having the least. hostile views against
France; and still less against the French Nation,
which the'Emperor ALEXANDER esteemed as it de-
served, and far from wishing it any harm, his great,
est wish was to see it happy and tranquil, as well as
all the'Powers of Europe. As to himself, he wanted
nothing content with the vast Empire over which,
he reigned, and having no other ambition than to
contribute,. as he does, to the happiness of his Sub-
jeets, and to fulfil one of the noblest duties of a
great Sovereign, that of being useful to his Allies,
in securing their independence, and not in attacking
it, after the example of those who bring afilietion
on the human race by the abuse of the power which
chance has placed ia their hands.

" As to the proposals of giving up Belgium, and
placing the Iron Crown upon the head of his most
implacable enemy (it was the King of SARDINIA he
meant), they were never made ; on the contrary,
upon BONAPARTE'S affeEting to assert that such de-
mands had been made to him, the Russian Officer
positively denied that any such Article had ever ex-
isted ; and he only mentioned among the others,
that which regarded the rta,l Independence of the.
Batavian Republic, which had been already verbally
acknowledged by BONAPARTE, and that of an Es-
tablishment for the King of SARDINIA in Italy, and
Indemnity for his States which had been invaded by
France, referring in support of these proposals to
the. tenor of the Treaties and Conventions which
existed between the Emperor and the First Consul
of the French Republic. The whole of the conver-
sation, which lasted more than an hour, was con-
fined to these points : BONAPARTE always reverting
to his projeEts of Invasion, and the Russian Officer
reje&ing them in the name of his Sovereign, and
requiring nothing more than the real security and.
tranquillity of all the States of Europe. At last,
convinced by the conversation of the Russian Offi-
cer, that it was impossible to prevail upon the Em-
peror ALEXANDER to imitate his conduct, to betray
his Allies, and to take possession of other States,
BONAPARTE put an end to the discourse, by abruptly
'declaring, " Well then, we shall fight ;" to which
'the Russian Officer made no answer, but returned.
" All that has been said respeCting the Battle of .
Wischau is just as false as what has been reported
of the ACtions- of Larnbach, Amstetten, and more
particularly of Krems, in every one of which the
Russians had the advantage. In the last they al-
most totally destroyed the Division of General
'MORTIER. One General, sixty-five Officers, and.
five hundred .Soldiers taken prisoners, live • stand
of colours, and eight pieces of cannon, were the
trophies taken from the French. At the affair of
Hollebrunn, the. rear-guard only of the Russians,
consisting of fire thousand three hundred men, was'
attacked; and notwithstanding the .ftench Army,
to the amount of forty thousand,, headed by BONA- •
PARTE, had,on all sides surrounded and attacked.
the Russian's, Wand occupied the Village of Satzel-
dorff, through which they were obliged to re-
treat, the Russians, notwithstanding, preferring
death with arms in their hands to being taken pri-
soners, forced their way through the Enemy, took
several prisoners, and one stand of colours, without
losing any of their own, and effeCted a junction with
their own Army, with no greater loss than that of
the French, notwithstanding the superiority of the
latter.

" At the Battle of Wischau (or Austerlitz), in
which the Emperor ALEXANDER was engaged, ex-
posing himself in every place where the danger was
most_ imminent, the Russian advanced-guard, which
alone was engaged, obtained considerable advan-
tages, the loss of the French in prisoners only be,
ing twenty-four Officers, and more than five hun-
dred men.

" As to the drowned persons, whose • cries are
still heard from the bottom of the Lakes, the tale is
too ridiculous to render its refutation necessary ; all
that it is deemed incumbent to affirm is, that' not a
single being had on opportunity of drowning him,,
self at the Battle of_ Austerlitz, let him have. bee:i
WET so well inclined so to do." •
