sides in this discussion, and to prolong it on that
ground would be a useless task.
" I proceed to the second part of Lord Russell's
despatch.
" The design of our august master is to arrive at
a practical solution, We assume that such is
also the desire of the Government of her Britannic
Majesty. Since its aim is to see assured to the
kingdom of Poland the repose and welfare which
are the objects of the solicitude of his Majesty the
Emperor, it appears to us difficult not to arrive at
an understanding.
"The difference in our points of view lies in the
fact that the English Government appears to be-
lieve that the Constitution of 1815 is the sole panacea
calculated to calm the present agitation of Poland.
" But the English Government and nation, whose
practical good sense has founded the greatness of
England, can hardly assert that there is only one
form of government possible for all peoples, what-
ever map be their history and development. Before
arriving at the political maturity of which England
offers the example, there are many degrees to pass
through, and each nation must proceed in this path
according to its own instincts. It is just and na-
tural that a Sovereign, animated by the most bene-
volent intentions, should calculate the bearing and
extension of institutions c.estined to place his sub-
jects in the most favourable conditions of existence.
" The idea of our august master has been shown
ever since his accession to the thione, and cannot
be ignored by any one in Europe.
" His Majesty has resolutely entered upon the
path of reform. Relying upon the trust and devo-
tion of his people, he has undertaken and accom-
plished in a few years a social transformation which
other States have only been able to realise after a
long lapse of time and many efforts. His solicitude
has not ceased there. A system of gradual develop-
ment has been applied to all the branches of the
publii service, and to existing institutions. It opens
to Russia the prospect of a regular progress. The
Emperor perseveres in it without precipitation or
impulse (entrainment), taking into account the
elements which it is the work of time to prepare
and mature, but without ever deviating from the
line he has traced for himself.
" This measure has conciliated to him the grati-

tude and affection of his subjects. We think i
gives him a title to the sympathies of Europe.
" The same designs have not ceased to influence
his Majesty since his solicitude has been brought to
bear upon the kingdom of Poland.
" We shall not enter here into an enumeration of
the national institutions, for the most part elective,
with which this country has been endowed.
" They do not appear to have been sufficiently un-
derstood in Europe, either on account of remoteness,
or, rather, because chimerical passions and the inte-
rested labour of a hostile party have stood in the
way of an equitable and impartial judgment.
"The system inaugurated by our august master
contains a germ which time and experience must
develope. It is destined to lead to an administra-
tive autonomy on the basis of the provincial and
municipal institutions which in England have been
the starting point and the foundation of the great-
ness and prosperity of the country. But in the ex-
ecution of this idea the Emperor has encountered
obstacles, which are found principally in the agita-
tions of the party of disorder.
" This party has understood that if it allowed the
peaceable majority of the kingdom to enter upon this
path of regular progress, there would he an end to
their aspirations. Their intrigues have not allowed
the new institutions to be carried into effect. It
has been impassible to show how they work, or how
far they respond to the real necessities and to the
degree of maturity of the country.
"It is only when this experiment shall have been
made that it will be possible to pass a judgment
upon this work, and to complete it.
" The manifesto of the 31st March indicates the
wishes of our august master in this matter.
" By the side of an act of clemency, to which it
has been possible to give a large extension since the
dispersion of the most important armed bands, the
Emperor has maintained in force the institutions
already granted, and has declared that he reserved to
himself the power of giving to them the develop-
ments indicated by time and the requirements of
the country.
"His Majesty can, then, refer to the past in the
rectitude of his conscience ; as to the future, it neces-
sarily depends on the confidence with which these
institutions will be met in the kingdom.
"In taking a stand upon this ground our august
master considers that he acts as the best friend of
Poland, as the only

welfare by practical means.
S
those duties which, as a member of Europeansociety, she owes to foreign
"Russia is too directly interestedtates. in the tran-
quillity of Poland not to understand the duties of
her position towards other nations.
"It would be difficult to assert that she has met,
in this respect, with scrupulous reciprocity. The
continual conspiracy which is being organized and
armed abroad to keep up disorder in the kingdom
is a fact of public notoriety, the inconvenience of
which principally consists in the moral effects which
the favourers of the insurrection deduce from it, in
order to lead astray the peaceable population, by
gaining credit for the belief in direct assistance
from abroad.

" In this manner we have seen produced two in-
fluences, both equally grievous—that exercised by
foreign agitation on the insurrection, and that
which the continuation of the insurrection itself
exercises, in its turn, upon public opinion in Europe.
"These two influences react one upon the other,
and have ended by bringing affairs to the situation
which the Powers at present point out to the vigi-
lance of the Imperial Cabinet.
"It is asked of it to restore the kingdom to the
conditions of a lasting peace.

" The Powers are inspired with this desire by the
conviction that the periodical troubles of Poland
cause to the States placed in the immediate vicinity
of its frontiers a shock, the reaction of which is felt
by the whole of Europe, that they excite the minds
of the people in a disquieting manner, and that they
might, if prolobged, bring about, under certain
circumstances, complications of the most serious
nature.

"The Government of her Britannic Majesty, in
expressing this desire, further relies upon the

" But the more the Emperor is disposed to take
into account the just prepossessions of the neigh-

who signed the Treaty of 1815 show in a state of
things which ii the cause of deep solicitude to his
Majesty himself, the more our august master con-
siders it a duty to request the serious attention,
upon the true causes of this situation, and upon the

means of remedying it, of the Courts who have ad
dressed themselves with confidence to him.

" If the Government of her Britannic Majesty
1 tys stress upon (releve) the reaction which the
troubles cf Poland exercise en the peace of Europe,
we must be still more struck with the iefluence
which the agitations of Europe have in all times had
the power to exercise upon the tranquillity of Poland.
" Since 1815 this country has witnessed the de-
velopment of a material welfare unknown until then
in her annals, while other States have in the same
interval undergone many interior crises.
" This repose was only troubled in 1830 by the
consequences of commotions coming from abroad ;
18 years later, in 1841, while almost the whole of
Europe was convulsed by the revolution, the king-
dom of Poland was able to preserve its tranquillity.
"We are persuaded that it would be the same at
present were it not for the continual instigations of
the party of cosmopolitan revolution. If this party,
everywhere devoted to the overthrow of order, at
present concentrates all its activity upon Poland, a
grave error would be committed in supposing that
its aspirations will stop short at that limit. What
it seeks there is a lever to overturn the rest of

Europe.
" Those Cabinets which attach importance to see-
ing the kingdom of Poland return a moment earlier
to the conditions of a durable peace cannot more
certainly ensure the realisation of this desire
than by labouring, on their side, to appease the
moral and material disorder which it is sought to
propagate in Europe, and thus to exhaust the main
source of the agitations at which their foresight is
alarmed.

" We entertain the firm hope that in strengthen-
ing in this respect the ties which bind them toge-
ther they will effectually servo the cause of peace
and of the general interests.
" I have the honour to request that you will com-
municate a copy of this despatch to the Principal
Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty.—
Receive, &c.,

" GORTSCHAKOFF."

EARL RUSSELL TO LORD NAPIER.

" Foreign-office, May 2,

"My Lord—Baron Brunnow came to me this
morning, and, before giving me a copy of the de-
spatch of his Government in answer to mine to your
Excellency of the 10th of April, said to me in sub-
stance what follows :

"'You have declared to me that the step which Lord
Napier was instructed to take was taken with a pacific in-
tention. The Imperial Cabinet has received your despatch
in a similar spirit of peace and of conciliation.

" ' You have told me that the representation you have
made is founded upon the bogs of the stipulations of the
Treaty of Vienna of 1815.

"' The Imperial Cabinet on its part accepts this basis.
" ' The Imperial Cabinet is re,dy to enter upon an ex-
change of ideas upon the ground and within the limits of
the Treaties of 1815.'

" I enclose a copy of the communication of Prince
Gortschakoff.

" I shall, in another and a later despatch, furnish
you with the views of her Majesty's Government
upon the contents of that communication.—l am,
&c., "RUSSELL."

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the text of
the Russian answer to the notes of the French and
English governments on the affairs of Poland pre-
ceded by the following remarks :—" It is easy to
see in reading these documents that they pave the
way for conciliatory measures, and that a basis of
negotiation is to be found in them which may lead
to an understanding between the different courts
now seEking the means of protecting the legitimate
interests of Poland," Subjoined is a translation of
the reply to the French note :

PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF TO BARON DE BUDBER,

PARIS.

" St. Petersburg, April 14 (26).
"Monsieur le Baron—On the morning of the 6th
:17th) April the French ambassador communicated
:o me a despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys respect-
ing the position of the kingdom of Poland. I for-
ward to your excellency a copy of this dispatch,
that I immediately brought under the notice of his
Majesty the Emperor. Our august master derived
the conviction from it that the views expressed in
the name of the Emperor Napoleon entirely har-
monise with those by which he is animated. The
French government manifests sentiments respecting
the sad events of the kingdom of Poland which csn-
not be foreign to any government with a regard for
humanity. It cannot for an instant doubt that this
state of things causes our august master the deepest
affliction, occasions him the utmost solicitude, and
fills him with an ardent desire to bring it to a con-
clusion. The French Government refers to the
effect of these agitations upon neighbouring
states, and the anxiety they give rise to in the
rest of Europe. Our august master recognises
the legitimate interest which the neighbouring
states, and those which have co-operated in regula-
ting the condition of Europe, must naturally feel
in all the complications which might have a ten-
dency to disturb it. But the interest Russia feels
in events which so closely concern her certainly is
not less profound, nor her desire to restore tranquil-
lity to the kingdom and security to Europe less
ardent or less sincere. The Government of the Em
peror Napoleon manifests confidence in the liberal
dispositions of our august master, and is animated
by a sentiment of reserve, which his Majesty appre-
ciates, when it indicates, in conclusion, the oppor-
tuneness of devising some means of placing Poland
upon the conditions of a durable peace. Nothing
could coincide better with the desires of the Empe.
ror. But it is precisely upon the choice of means
which may lead to this result that it is desirable to
come to an understanding. The Foreign Minister
of France describes the extent of the evil, and the
impotency of the combinations hitherto devised for
reconciling Poland with the position accorded to
her. This is an additional reason for not recom-
mencing attempts which have been a source of mis-
fortune to Poland and Russia, a cause of trouble to
Europe, and which in all probability would only
lead to the same result. The evil the kingdom is
now suffering from is not an isolated fact. All Eu-
rope is affected by it. Revolutionary tendencies,
the scourge (fleau) of our times, concentrate them-
selves just now in this country, because they find
here enough combustible matter to inspire hopes of
making it the centre of a conflagration extending
all over the continent. The Governments whose
duty it is to remedy this evil cannot, therefore, be-
stow upon it too much attention, prudence, and care,
in order to discern the elements that ought to be set
aside as a common danger, and those which deve-
loped with perseverance and maturity may serve as
the basis of a durable future. Our august master
has devoted himself to this work, connected as it is
with that which ever since his accession to the
throne he has charged himself with the mission of
accomplishing, in order to introduce every part
of his kingdom into the paths of regular progress.
I have explained the views of our august master
the accompanying despatch, that I have pista .
d•
dressed to his Majesty's ambassador in London, in
reply to a communication from the Government of
her Britonnie Majesty similar to that from M.
e's order your
Drouyn de Lhuys. By the Emperor'sror
excellency is requested to forward a copy of this
document to the Foreign Minister of France. He
will see there what part the Government of the
Emperor Napoleon may take in our opinion, in order
to hasten the realisation of the wishes he expresses
to us in tie name of humanity and the permanent
interests of Europe. He will assuredly recognise
that with the elements of cosmopolitan revolution
disseminated in nearly every country, and accumu-
lating from every direction and on every spot afford-
ing a chance of disorder and commotion, the task of
restoring tranquillity and peace does not depend
upon the efforts of a single Government, and that to
call upon us to extinguish a conflagration which is
fed by inexhaustible external sources would be to
confine the question in a circle without issue. The
