which being but the result of a blind confilence at:id ,
a kind of inebriation, and which being founded nei7
ther in the real strength of States, nor, in their geo-
graphical situation, are destitute of all pacific charac-
ter, and carry with them their own reprobation,
" It is the duty of France not to abandon the in-
terests of-the Ottoman Porte, nor a position which
enables her tb maintain that empire against the ag-
gressions with which Russia openly threatens it :
but all these objeCts, designed to make part of the
dispositions of the treaty, being reserved for discus-
sion, the Undersigned shall not attempt to anticipate
the results to' which the discusstbm may lead.
" If, since the changes which have occured in the
Cabinet of his Britannic Majesty, they continue to
wish fpr peace, peace may be made, and promptly.
The Emperor will not stop at some sacrifices to ac-
Celerate and render it lasting; but if the'disposition
for peace has changed at- London—if the wise and
liberal views developed in the first communications
with the illustrious Minister whom both nations re-
gret, prevail no longer—a vague discussion, immode-
rate pretensions, and ambiguous propositions, deviat-
ing from the tone of candour necessary to coirdna
both parties to a true point of approximation, would
only tend to farther irritation, and be unworthy of
the people.
" France does not pretend to dictate to Russia or
England ; but she will net be dictated to either by
England or Russia. Let the conditions be equal, just,
moderate, and peace is made ; but if an imperious
disposition be manifested-4f exaggerated terms he
proposed—if the spirit of predominance be evinced;
if, finally, it he wished to diCtate peace, the Emperor
and the French people will not take notice of these
propositiens. Confident in theMselves,,they will an-
swer as an antient people 'answered' its enemies—
" Yon demand our arms--come and take them."

" The undersigned Plenipotentiary of his Majesty
the King of Great Britain (in answering the official
note of his Excellency the Miuister for Foreign Al,
fairs, dated the 13th of this mouth, which was this
day transmitted to him), begins by observing, thet
he purposely abstains, as far as possible, from all'
remarks oh points which are noticed there, but
which are'foreign to the objet immediately in ques-
tion. He will, by that mode, avoid discussions
which in their nature might make him forget the
tone and the moderation prescribed by his duty in
the whole course of his Mission. This conduct is
also the only one conformable to that love of peacu
which characterizes all the proceedings of the King,
his Master.
" When the Undersigned considers that he came
to Paris to make peace on conditions understood to
have been proposed by France, that notwithstanding
the refusal of his Majesty of All the anssias to ratify,
the treaty signed by M: D'Ouhril, and the signal ad
vantages obtained by his Majesty's arms in Spanish
America, he felt himself able to give as he has had
the honour' to do) to his Excellency the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, assurances, that the demands of his
Court, in its own favour, would not be essentially
augmented! the Undersigned could not be but sur-
prised at observing the wish of imputing to his Go-
vernwent an intention of shewhig itsilt imperious,
and inclined to exaggerate. He is not less surprised,
that in answering a note, in which he had the ho- ,
npur to explain distinttly to his Excellency, that it,
was on the conditions announced by his Excellency
Baron De Budberg, that claims is favour of Russia
were insisted on, his Excellency has thought it his
duty to mark with the stamp of reprobation, condi-
tions proposed, under circumstances totally different,
by M. Novosiltzoff, and of the nature of which the
Undersigned finds himself, in fad, completely ig-
nonnt.
" In short, after having explained himself to his.
Excellency as the Undersigned has done,
iand after
having given him to understand, that he is only au-
• thorized to treat in a way certaiu to himself, that
peace with great Britain.and Russia.shail be made at
the same moment and, after having received, in
the official note of yesterday, the assurance, that the.
French Government does not ref'u'se the admission
of an article which shall have for its cud the attain-
ment of that indispensible objed, the Undersigned
has no difficulty in resuming the conferences with
their 'Excellencies the French Plenipotentiaries, the
instant their Excellencies shall have been authorized
to that effeet.

" The Undersigned has the-hOndur to renew to
his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs the •
assurance of his high consideration.
