" SIR, • " April -1, tE76;.
" The very hour that I received your letter;of-sthe
26th I went to his Majesty, and am lOppy.tllat he
has authorised roe tip. make you, without any delay, •
the following ansWer ' •
The Etripetror ,has:-nothing-to*sire,
~what,
fngLand, poSsesses. Peace. with France is possible;
and may be perpetual, as long as there is not inter-
fertpce in its internal affairs, .and that the shalt be
no wish to constrain it,_either. witb respect to its
legislation respelling the Customs or the ,luties Un-
posed on articles of co fierce, tie' to'inake.iis flag
• submit to any insult.
' " It is not you, Sir, who have shewn to alreat
number of public discussions an accurate: kny,•,vledge.
Of the affairs of Eur Ope. in general, and 'of France`,
that there is•occasion to convince that .France has
nothing
_to de4ire but, peace; and a sithatiOn:Whicti
may permit her to give herself,up, without ally ob-
stacle, to the labours of her industry. ,
" The Emperpr does not believe that it Was this
• or that Article of the Treat) .of, Which' has •
been the cause of the- war.- He is convinced, that
the real 'cause of- it was the refusal to enter into
a Commercial Treaty,, which would neeolarily be
injurious•to the manufaaures and industry cd his
Subje6ts • • . .
" Your predecessors accused us of wishing to in-
vade every thing.- :In France, England is also ac-
cused. .Well, then ! we only demand equality.—
We will never ask froth you any account of. what
you de in. your .Country, provided ,that, in your
Min, you. should ;asknno account of what we do
in ours. This is tt principle of just and reasonable
-eCiprocityr and 'l;6 pea ively advantageous;
" You express a wish that the IS7egotiation.should
not end, in a peace that should be without duration.
France is more interested than any other Power in
the stability of Peace. It is not a truce that it has an
interest in making, for a truce would only prepare
for it new losses. Yob know well, that nations,Te-
sembling individuals in this respeel, can accustom
themselves,to a state of war as well, as to a state of
peace, All the.losses that Franeecan.suifer 4i?oa
it
she has suffered, will always stiffer. in 014740 six
months ofa war. At present Our commerce and our
industry have retired within. themselves, and have
. adapted themselves to our state of war...,On this ac—
count, a true of two or three years would her at the
same time, as' opposite to our, commercial interests
as to the policy of the Emperor. •
.." As' to the intervention of a Foreign Power, the
-Emperor might accept of a mediation of a. Power
possessing gr.:at maritime
.forces, for theit 4,sparti7
cipat.loll in the Peace 'would be .reguhited by the

-same interests which we have to discuss with you.;
but ,the mediation you speak of is not of that nature.
You do 'not wish to deceive us, and you perceive
,that there is no equality between you and us; in the
guarantee of'a Power that has-300,000 men on foot,
and which has 'no marine. .

For the rest, Sir, your communication has a.
charaßerof frankness and precision that we. have_
not before seen, in the. correspondence of your
Court with us. I Shall' 'consider it a duty to re-
ply with the same frankness • and clearness. We
are ready to „Make Peace with all tha world :
,we do
.not want
.to impose a Peace upon .any nation, but
We do not chuse that it shalt be imposed. upon,
us'; neither is there any .body who. has the power
or . means to do so. It is not.. the power of
any person to make us undo Treaties whit!): have'
been executed. The integrity, the, entire 'and. abso-•
lute independence of the Ottoman Empire, are not
only the. most sincere desire of the Emperor, but the
most constant object of his policy. • • . •
" Two- enlightened and neighbouring nations would •
be wanting in the opinion which. they ought to enter-
tain of their power and their *Worn, if, in the dis-
cussion of those great interests about which they dis-
agree, they should Call, for the interVention'offoreigli
- and distant Powers. lins, Sir; the' Peace may be
negotiated and concluded immediately, if your Court
has really .the desire to arrive at it.
Our interests are reconcileable, from the very
circutnStance of their being, distin6t.. ;Yon are the.
Sovereigns of the seas your
,reatit4-11e1.4i-Ces-equal
those of all the Sovereigns Of the world united.' We
are 'a great-Continental ,Power : but there are several
who have as great force by land' as we, and your
preponderance on the seas will always place our com-
merce at the disposal of your 'squadrons, upon the.
first 'declaration of war thAt you may -chuse to Make.
Do you think it reasonable to eipea‘ that the' Em-
peror will ever consent
.oacd himself; in like
manner, ..at your discretion' as to the affairs of the
Continent ? If, masters of the sea by your 'own
power,.you wish alsO to be masters of the land by a
combined power, peace is not possible.; :for youtan-
not expe& to arrive at results which it-would be im4
possible for you:to attain.
- " The ;Emperor,
,accustomed as he is to %run all
the 'chances which present views of greatness 'and
glory, desires peace 'with England. He is a man.
After so many fatigues, he also •wishes for repose.
Father. Of his subjects, he wishes as far as'can be
compatible with their honour; and with the gharan-
tee ofthe fUture, to, procure' for them the' sweets-of
peace, and the advantages of a happy and .tranquil.
commerce. ..
If then,: Sir, his Majesty the King a England‘
really wishes for Peace with France, he will appoint a
Plenipotentiary to.repair to Lisle. I have the honour
to lend you passports to that effekt. As soon as his
Majesty the Emperor shall be informed of the 'arri-
val of the Minister of your. Court, he will appoint and
send one there without delay. vie Eniperor is reacly;to
make all the concessions that from the extent of your
naval force and preponderance you may exped to
obtain. • I do not think also, that 'y(111 can; refuse to
adopt the principle of-making to hith propositiOna
conformable tb the honour .of his Crown, and to the
Commercial rights of his States. If you are just, if
you only desire :What is possible, for, you to accom-
plish, peace will soon be cencluded. „ .
" I conclude by declaring to yoU, that his Ma-
jesty adopts entirely the principles laid .down in your
diipatch, and 'presented as the hasis'of. the Negotia-
tion—that the peace proposed ought, to be honourable
for the.two Courts, and-for their respe6tive

" SIR, , -" Dowaing-treet, Bth April, I 806:
" It was not until yesterday evening that I re-
ceived jour dispatch of the Ist instant.:' Before I
Oocced 'to ;,,ii-swer it,' allow me to assure yonr. Ex-
-cellency, that its ' frankness and 'politeness have af-
forded very great pleastire.. The. appearance -Of-a
spiit,of,copciliation in both partici, is one great st-ep . t.
towards Peace. - • .
• If what your Excellency mentions with respect
to internal' affairs, is meant to be applied to political
affairs, an -answer is scarcely necevary. We take
no part in them in time of war, and, kfortiari, we
will not do so in time of peace ; and nothing is far-
ther from our tboughts than to wish to Meddle with
such internal laws as you may judge necessary for
the regulation of your customs, ' and the-Support of
your commercial rights, or to insult your flag.
As to a Treaty of Commerce, England lias,n9
greaterinterest..in wishing for it than other nations':
There are many persoi.s who are of opinion, ,that
p.eaty of the kind between France and Great Britain
would be equally advantageous 'to both the Contrad-
ing PoWEis.. But this is.a. question which each Go;-
vernment must decide .npOn its own view ; and that
which refuses it is guilty of no olence, and is not ac-
countable, to the proposer.
• " It is not my opinion alone, Sir, hut .that of every
reasonable, man, that, Peace is the true intetestof
France, and consequently that the real glory of those
who are at her •head-ConSists- in obtaining and pre-
, serving it.
" It is true, we. have reciprocally accused each
other; but it..would be oflittle use at present to dis-
eti,,s'tfie grounds upon which these accusations were
founded. Like you, we wish for equality. We are
not, most assuredly, accountable to each other 'for.
'what wedo within ourselves $ and the principle of
reciprocity proposed by your Excellency upon this
head, appears 'to be jt,si and reasonable.
" I agree with you in respe& to the inconvenience
which would result to Francetbr a short-lived. Peace ;
but, on. the otker hand, its disadvantages to us would
also be, very considerable: It is natural, that-in such
a case each Country should 'magnify ,its. own danger,
orat least that it should look more minutely into
them than into the dangers of another. .
‘" As to the intervention of a Foreign Power, I
should begin with observing, that as far as regards
the queStion of Peace and War between France and,
England, Russia cann& be ,considered as a foreign
Power, as she is glually in alliance with England,
and at war with France. It was on this principle
that; in my letter, proposed to introduce the Ens,
peror Alexander, not as a mediator, but as (party.
" In the last, paragraph of your dispatch, your
Excellency has admitted that the Peaceshoald be ho-

nourable as well for 'France and England as for they .
respeaive Allies. if this be the case, it appears to
me impoSsible; considering the close alliance subsist-
ing between the tiro Governments, that England can
commence a Negotiation; except it be of a provision-
.al nature,. without the concurrence, or the previous
consent, etrtlast, of her Ally. • - '
.As to.,_oo._at respeas the integrity and independ-
•ence.of thOtcoman.Etnpitle, no difficulty can arise
---these 14Ing obje&s.equally dear to.all the partie.4
interested in the discusSion in question. , •
" his perhaps true that the power of France by.
' land, compared with that of 'the 'rest of Europe,. is
.not equal to our Naval superierity,;considered in the
same point of view; 'but it can no longer be dissem-
bledthat the proje6l- of uniting- all 'Europe against
Frahee is chiinerical to' 'the last degree. Besides, .
it would
_be in fiia CO extend. Our apprehensions for
the future a. little too far, to -Consider an alliance be
tween Russia and *England (the •two 'Powers of
Europe the least calculated to-attack FranCe by land).
-as iending to prOduee such an•effea. .. ' •-,
" The interposition of Russia in the .Negotiation
cannot, moreover, be considered as the establishment
of a-CongreSs either in form:or effea, as Were, in
fa6t, will be only two parties, Russia and England on,
' dueside, and France on the other.: A' Congress may
-be useful in many respects after the signing of pre-
liminaries, in case it should meet the.wishes• of the
Contraaing Parties ; but this is a question to be dis-
cussed freely and amicably, after •the principal affair
shall have been arranged. - .. .
“-I have thus, Sir,-Submitted to you, as clearly.as.
I could, the sentiments' of the British Government
upon the ideas suggested by your Excellency. I have
the satisfaaion.of believing, that there. is.'only.ons-

Emperor andPs') ~Kino' before Whom laid, with all
.., • •
possible expedition, the 'dispatch- whiEh-patit-Excel7
',lency did me the honour to address to me, under the
date of the Bth April. ..
"It appears to his• Majesty, that-in admitting, aS
yon do, the principle .of equality, you still have per.
sistedin requiring a form of negotiation which can by
no 'means accord with this principle. When among
.two equal Powers, one of them claims the intervention
of a third, it is evident that it tends. to destroy that
equipoise so favourable to the fair and free'disCusstoti
of their, interests. It isevident that it hag no incli-
.nation to remain contented with the advantages and
rights of equality. I trust, Sir, that in restiming-this
discussion for the last time, I shall be able to per-

suade your Excellency, that there is no title or rno•
tive to justify the inviting of Russia to a negotiation
proposed between France and England. - •
"• When the war broke out between the .two,
-Powers, Russia was at peace with France. The pre-
sent.war has not in the least altered the relations be-.
tween
.her and us.: , She at -first.propased her media-
tion,..aticlafterwards, in consequence of circumstances
foreign to the war which separates-us, some coolness
having arisen between the fwo Cabinets of St. Peters-
burgh and theThuilleries, the Eenpoor 'Alexander
though proper to suspend his political relations with
France, but at the same time, he declared, in the most
pOsici,ye manner,. that it was not his intention to take
‘aoy„part in the dispute between us and England,
`‘,Mfre do "not think that thin determination has
been." in' the
.least altered 'by' the* conduct hi :h
Ffu'sSia has since held. -.She has; it is true, concluded
ar rreaty of Alliance with you.;- but this Treaty, it
is easy td lerceive, from such articles of it as have
ti•anspired, by.the objed which it had in view, and.
still more,..frotn the'consequences which folloWed it,
had no yetation whatever to the viaCsubsisting for
two years betweenus and England.
“-This Treaty was an ad of participation in a war -
of anothei kind,'more extended and general than the'
first.. It is from that war Ihat the third Coalitioa
arose, in which Austria was the principal Power, and
Lissia the auxiliary Power. England 'Concurred only,
iii the project of this war.; we Were never-opposed to
her- 'force united.with'that of her Allies. Russiii only .'
apPeared in it as a sticondarY wer, No declaration,
addressed to France ever informed us that she was at
war with us ; and it was only on the field of battlo
where the third Coalition was destroyed', that
were Officially informed that Russia was engaged

in. it. •
'When His Britannic Majesty declared. war
against France,. his Manifestoes 'expressed the;. object
of it. This obje& defines the nature of the wars
When, eighteen months after, His Britannic Mai
jesty entered into alliance with Atistria,- Russia,
and SN.veden,•he, had other obje&s in view. It was a
new War; the causes of which were td be sought for
in the official documents which We're pUblished by the
different Powers. There was no question 'of the di-
re& interests of England in -these causes. These two
Wars haven° connexion whatever; England did note
in fad, participate in that which has-been just ended.
Russia has never either diredly or indirectly take.D.
part in that which still exists.. There is, therefore,
no reason why England should notferminate bX
herself the war, which she' alone has carried ok-
agailist us. • . _ _ .
" If his Majesty the Emperor should now adopt,
the principle of nvgotiiiting with England jointly with
her new Allies, he would implicitly admit that the
thitdCoalition still exists—that the German war is not
finished—that this war is the satne with that which
Prance still maintains against England : he would irip,
plicitly admit as a basis of negotiation the conditions
of M. NovOsiltzoff, which excited the astonish-
ment bf Europe, roused the French charader ; and,
instead of .the Conqueror of the Coalition, the Em-
peror would voluntarily put himself in. the place or
the vanquished. .
The Emperor, at this moment, has no contest
to maintain against the .Coalition. He may even
overlook the conne&ion which you with it :
in treating with-you, the oniy.question.s that carkiie,
are, the rootlves and objeds' of the war undertaken

.
by you antecedent to yohr &latices, and Whith has
oLtiived them.
" Although it is only within these she tfibtaltS that
the veil which concealed the secret Coinhinations of
theltst War, has been rent, it is, notwithstanding,
true, that the Continen t is at peace. Austria, your prin-
cipal Ally, made a Separate Peace with us.
whose armies were for aome time on the war establish.;
ment, has concluded an alliance, offensive and defeTh-
s4e, with us. Sweden does not deserve to he Men-
tioned. As to Russia, a direU proposal of Negotia-
tion exists between her and us. By her power, she
bas no occasion for any protection, and she cannot
call for the interposition of any Coen towards termi-
hating the difference's between us. Her distance
places her so much out of our' reach, as it does out
of the possibility of injuring us, that peace or war
produces no other change in our respective re-
. lin ions, than Diplomatic alterations. if, under such
circumstances, the Emperor should agree to ne-
gotiate faintly with England-and Russia, would he
not relinquish all his advantages ? Would he not, re-
recognize the existence of a war which he has gin.; •
-riously terminated ? Would he not, in fact, concede
to England the principle of equality already agreed
upon between us?

" If you, Sir, with your usual discernment, will
examine the arguments which ,I have the honour. of
submitting to you, you will agree with Me that such
a Negotiation would . be far more prejudicial to us
than war, or even a Congress.
•In fact, in a Congress, if England, Sweden, and
Itussia, should contend for the establishment of the
principles which have laid the foundation of the third
Coalitiou, Prussia, Denmark, the Porte, Persia, and
Amorica, would protest agaius,t these principles, and
require equal Maritime Laws, and a fair division of
the dominion of the sea. Without doubt; in such a
diseussion,the diminution of the French power wonlo
beofteff voted for; but then, on the other hand; the
diminution of that of England would also be required.
Some Powers would call for the restoration of the ba-
lance of the South of Euro;se ;. but others also would
-Call for that of the North of Europe. A great num-
,ber would occupy themselves for the balance of.
Asia; all would - feel interested for the' restora.;
tion of the balance of the seas; and if, from
--among such complicated and stormy discussion's,
it were possible to •expea a conclusion, such
-conclusion would be right, betause it would be
complete; and certainly his Majesty has de-
clared, -on every occasion, that he would have no
044:1i0n to make sacrifices for the public tranquilli-
ty, when England, Russia; and all the great. Powers,
would. be each disposed to recognize established
rights, to prote& feeble States, and to adopt principles
of justice, moderation, and equity. But the Emperor
• is tOg.good a judge of human nature to be seduced by
'chimeras; and he is aware that -he should only per-.
,plex himself by seek ing forpeace in a la'oyriti tit of ttit
• years • discussion, dining which time the- warlwould,
Ise continued, a!:d which would only render its termis
nation more aifficiilt and uncertain. It would then be
'necessary to take a new road, as was done at Utrecht ;
leave he a,ties to waste their time in endless. and use-
less debates ; treat from one to -another ; discuss,• as
was then done, the interests of the two Powers; and
'`those of their respedive apices ; conclude a-peace for
one's self, and to make it sufficiently just and ho-
nourable, that it could not laof being agreeable to
tall tlie Powers interested. This is the way in which •
two Powers,
.such as France and England, should
terminate, not-in ten years, but immediately, their
Alispotes, and establish at the same time the rule of
their rights, and that of the interest of their Allies.
"To return to the subjeft, Sir, I see in the proposed
- Negotiation only three possible forms of discussion
-negotiation with England and the Allies which she
-acquired at the formation of,the third coalition ; ne-
gotiation with all the Powers of Europe; with the ad--
• ditien of.the Americans ; negotiation with England
alone. , The first of these forms is inadmissible, 1567.
copse it would subject the Emperor to the influence
of the third Coalition, which no longer exists. The
Emperor would have negotiated in this way if he
- had been
,beaten. The second form of negotiation
would render - the- war perpetual, -if the inevitable
incidents which might arise in it at 9very moment,
and the passions__ which it would engender, did not
put a violent end to the discussions; within
_a fe‘;
years after their commencement. The third, there-
fore, is the only-form desirable by those who really
wish for peace. His-Majesty is persuaded that
the equitable and moderate disposition., which he is
happy to perceive in the tone and language of .His
tritannie Majesty's Government, iS -in unison with
the.pacifie sentiments of which he is more than ever
--determined to afford proofs to his fri?nds,, and es en
to his:enerilies ; and that the Nations exhausted by

published all the Correspondence which passed be-

of course very voldrninous, and unless we are
grossly, blinded by national partiality, the advan

Charlottenburg,h on the 17th: indeed it would
be an abuse of terms to call such a Couven-

exertions are employed by the French to excite the
Inhabitants of Poland to assert their « Independ-

to be formed, and BONAPARTE has'declared„ that as

shall conceive the Nation worthy of being deelar-

By going se far batk for the motives of his dis-;,
content, ,his Majesty the King of Prussia gives
France a right to remind him how he was the first
to abandon the cause of Kings in 1782 ; with what
indignity the defenders of the throne were treated
in his own camp,: and how his defeeion was the
first sant:bon of so dangerous a change. Certain-
ly, when neither the punishment of Lewis XVL
'mir the expulsion' of the Stadtholder, a relation
of his Prussian Majesty's, nor the invasion of Hol-
land, which Prussia looked upon as a family proi-
perty, nor other conquests, nor, in fine, the progress
of a system which menaced all Monarchies, were
able to shake the friendship that Prussia then bons
to France, when her Ambassador, preceding all
others, was seen to it at those civic banqu As in
which the destrution of Kings was sworn, the af-
,
feClion of Prussia Might be

every thing. If so many motives could not alter fot
an instant her conne6tions with France, the
which' now drive her' into a- more dangerous
War must also be of a more serious nature, and con-
neded with more important consideration 3. The
King of Prussia has just enabled Europe to jUdge of
• • them:

People will be astonished teo see, that in a Paper
which should treat only of the relations- or• the re-
speEtive interests Of France. and Prussia, the-Cabinet
of Berlin should lay a stress only upon grievances
which are foreign to it, and should consider as per-
sonal injuries, aggrandizement& made over Powers
whoin it might have more efficaciously succoured if
it had thought, them unjust. Now that the disputes
between France and Austria.are regulated ;glow that
the fate of Italy, S'.vitzerland, andifolland, is•fixe&
the re9rinninitions of. Prussia are as Wanton.as they
are useless.

France at first: oiILY wished for peace; but her
safety required that she should make allies of cowl"-
tries which she might keep as conqu;sts.. Her ene-
mies still conspiring against her, forced her to as-
sume new advantages. The King of Prilgsia hay{
seen the efforts which were unceasingly renewed
against her—he has Often acknowledged the legi-
timacy of the means which she took for her. de-
fence. Having had in view only the availing him-
self of the weakening of the belligerent parties, or
selling his ina&ion, it ill becomes him to complain
at this day of the effeas of a system which be en-
couraged. The wars of the three Coalitions were
foreign to him ; he has no right to revive their
grievances. If the policy of France has been .1
scourge to Europe, Europe may accuse him of
having been the accomplice of it his decla-
rations 'and this regrets, were they well founded,
would leave him only the shame of having seen the
good cause, and'the cowardice of having betrayed it.
However, at the period in question (November,
1805), Prussia wished to aLithe part of Mediatrix of
Europe; she pretended. to he- the rampart of the
PoWers of the Ncirtli TO hear the complaints she
alledges at this day,, it would seem that she was more
offended than the others. A Coalition was formed in
the midst of Peate;' Prussia'fignred in the discussion,
of the intereits, but did not appear in the 'field of
battle: She was announced every moment, At Lon-
.
don,thff.Opposition cried out; that Austria and Rus-
sia could do nothing useinl without the co-operation
of Prussia, and the Ministers gave More than hopes;
at 'Vienna and St. Petersburgh, they gave positive
assurances of it; at ..Berlin, the very 'affe6ting inter.
view of the Emperor Alexander and the King, left
uo doebt of a speedy co-operAtion. But" Whilst the
Prussian Cabinet NiiS bargaining, the.war began by

It was then that a' French division passed, rapidly,
over the territory.of Anspach, with the most friend-
ly charaEter, and without leaving the least traces
of violence, from .the sole necessity of executing
movements, upon which the safety of the army de-
pended.

Never did any passage, executed with that tran-
quillity,. excite .any thing wore than explanations
between friendly Powers. Austria and Prussia have
