THE 11ESSELRODE NOTE.

The following is the answer of the Russian Go-
vernment to the Prussian note in support of the
Austrian sommation, addressed to St. Petersburg.
It is one of the eleven rapers submitted to the
Bond by Austria and Prussia on the 17th, of which
we have already published two—viz., the replies
of Count Buol and M. Mauteuffel to the Nessel-
rode note. This answer vas addressed to Baron
von Budberg, iu Berlin :

" St. Petersburg, 18th (30th) June, 1854.
"The Prussian Chargé d'Affaires had handed me the
communication which his Cabinet addressed to us under
date of the 12th of June in support of the step taken by
Austria towards us, for the purpose of prevailing on us
to accelerate the conclusion of the present war by re'
fraining from extending our military operations in Tur-
key, and at the same time withdrawing our troops from
the Principalities as speedily as possible.
" We are not aware, baron, how we can answer this
communication of the Prussian Cabinet better than by
bringing to its knowledge the text of the answer we
have addressed to Vienna, here appended. From this
it will become apparent that, without sharng the opi-
nions with reference to the occupation of the Princi-
palities as put forward by Austria and participated in
by Prussia, we nevertheless, out of consideration for the
special interests of Austria and Germany on the Danube,
and the peculiar nature of the obligations which the
Courts of Vienna and Berlin have entered into with the
Western Powers in the protocol of April 9, are prepared,
at the same time reserving to ourselves the securities
which we require to be informed of in advance, to with-
draw from the Principalities, and to enter into negotia-
tions for peace on the basis of the three main principles ,
laid down in that protocol, or at least to pave the way
for this negotiation by agreeing to a truce.
" Without repeating on this occasion the very great
considerations which lead us to abide by our requirement
previously to be put in possession of securities in ex-
change for the voluntary sacrifice which we make to the
interests of Austria and Germany in relinquishing our
present or future military position in Turkey, we confine
ourselves to commending these remarks to the mature
deliberation of the Prussian Court, convinced that his
majesty the King is too just to demand of us that we
should consent gratuitously to weaken ourselves morally
and materially, without being certain of obtaining a peace
or even a truce. It is, moreover, with satisfaction that
we observe that the Prussian Cabinet is itself penetrated
with the correctness of this view, since, while expressing
the wish that hostilities should be curtailed and circum-
scribed, it recognizes in advance that this ought to take
place on both sides. In pursuance of the pacific incli-
nations expressed in our answer, it is now put to the
Prussian Cabinet to use its interest at Vienna end
elsewhere to procure for us the securities so indis-
pensably necessary. We feel that we are so mesh
the more entitled to hope this from that quarter,
as it was to it (the Prussian Cabinet) that the Ere'
peror first communicated his intention to consider the
firm establishment (consolidation) of the religious and
civil rights to the Christians in Turkey, if thy can be
obtained from the Porte in a form of working efficiency,
as an actual satisfaction of the demands we have made
on it (the Porte) ; and that, by our accession to this,
principle of the protocol, as well as our satisfaction et
the two others, which will be seen by our voluntary
withdrawal from the Principalities, we henceforth offer
Prussia, as well as Austria, a means of fulfilling tht3 ob-
ligations which in that document they have entered jut°
vis the Western Powers.

"You will, baton, express this hope to Baron von
Man teuffel in the most uistinct manner, at the same time
that you bring this dispatch to his knowledge.
" Receive the assurances, &c.,
NESSELRODE.

After the receipt of the note correspondinz to
this, received by Austria, Count Buol addressed &
circular containing instructions to the Austrian
ambassadors in London and Paris, which is also
among the documents laid before the Bund. The
following is a translation of this circular :

"To M. le Baron De Hubner at Paris, and M. le
Count Colloredo at London.
" Vienna, July 21, 1864.
" I have the honour to send to your Excellency here-
with the text of the reply which the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg has made, on the 29th of June, to our com-
munication of the 3d, relative to the suspension of the
operations of the Russian army on the other side the
Danube, and the speedy evacuation of the Danubian
Principalities, in order that you may submit this answer
to the British (French) Cabinet. You will appreciate
the impression which this communication, made by
Prince Gortschakuff to the Imperial Cabinet, produced
❑pon us when you shall have become acquainted with
the despatch in which Count Esterhazy had been
previously charged, on the 9th of this month, to express
to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg our regret that, not-
withstanding the facts by which we supported ourselves
in our despatches of the 3d of June, that Cabinet de-
clared itself willing to enter into negociations as to the
time to be fixed for the evacuation only upon conditions
the accomplishment of which did not depend upon our
will. Under these circumstances we cannot avoid
maintaining our demand in the whole extent of the terms
in which it was made in the principal despatch of the 3d
of June.

" As, moreover, the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has
declared that strategetic considerations could not permit
the Russian army to quit the military positions which it
had taken in the Principalities without having previously
received guarantees of safety equivalent to an armistice,
the question is shifted to another ground, upon which
it.was for the belligerent powers to decide in the first
instance.
" I need not call the attention of your Excellency to
the extraordinary importance of the resolutions which
these powers have now taken. You know too Well the
views which have invariably guided the policy of the
Emperor our august matter in the present crisis, not to
be aware of the spirit in which his Majesty desires to
see the belligerent powers accept the overtures of
Russia.
"Without wishing to prejudge the resolutions which
those Governments may definitively take, we nevertheless
deem it right to explain to you the point of view from
which we regard the present phase of the question, in
order to put you in a condition to deal frankly towards
the Cabinet of London (Paris) if an opportunity is pre'
sented.
" Wbat has been the constant aim of the common
efforts of the powers, if it has not been the re-establish'
ment of a solid and durable peace ? We understand by
this a peace which, by re-establishing the rights of the
Porte, gives to Europe guarantees against the recur-
rence of perturbations, such as those which disturb it ivo.
profoundly at the present moment. The importance (u°
the interests which are associated with this object is f!,.
great, that we are convinced that no power would
Jingly expose itself to the reproach of
any means whatever likely to bring about a good uncle;
standing. Remembering this th belligerent Power
will no doubt feel it their duty to examine these Woke
tions carefully and cote.cieutiou,ly, in order to see d t"

the idea of the Court of Russia, serve as a gtorotl
point for negotiations for peace, which, however, sh u
be preceded by a general suspension of hostilities.

"Besides these three points whichltussia has declared
herself ready to accept, the protocol of the 9th i:tPoig

BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE
ASSURANCE COMPANY.

The =ulna' meeting of this society was held on
Thursday , at 37, New Bridge•street; James Low, Esq.,
in the ch. sir.
The Se cretary, Mr. Francis Clowes, read the follow-
ing repn

"The directois have much pleasure in laying their sixth
annual report before the members; first, because they
have to announce an increase of receipts approaching
twice the increase of any preceding year; secondly, be-
cause they have to propose another triennial return to the
members_
" It -a -needless to enlarge again upon the excellence of
the mutes tl principle, which this company Naas the first to
adopt in a national fire office. It is now fully understood
to be set" ire assurance at the lowest possible cost. The
growing eopreciation of this great principle by the public
is Emilie ieatly shown by the steady increase of its in-
surances -with this company—an increase whose testimony
is so mu eh the more satisfactory since it has been obtained
by the .ordinary exertions of the directors, members,
and age nts, unaided by unusual advertising, and other
exnensi-ro modes of seeking notoriety.
"The entire premiums received during each of the two
triennial periods now terminated have been, for the first,
3,9511. 783. 2d. ; for the second, 12,9811. 18s. ld. For the
year tcrniinating the 30th of June 1854, the total receipts
were 10,7
18/. 15s. 3d., of which 5,5961. ss. Gd, were ppre-
miuma and 5,1221. N. 9d. duty.
" ThPoexesult is that the receipts of the last three years have
much aaore than trebled those of the first three years ; that
the increase of the last year has more than equalled that of
the seconc . and third together, and not fallen much short
of cqualiag the combined increase of the fifth and sixth
years.
"Then umber of new policies issued during the past year
was 2,505 for 1,295,679/.
" Such a rate of increase in the receipts and business
justifies t he view adopted by the directors in 18-4, of mak-
ing triune dal returns from the commencement of the com-
pany, anc t spreading a portion of the formatory expenses
over a lam nber of years, thereby giving to the early insurers
a share in the advantages of the mutual principle. The di-
rectors, t sereforo, propose for your adoption a return of
124 per .a.:nt. on their premiums to such of the policy-hol-
ders as l tad been insured with the company for threeyears
and ups nrds at midsummer, 1854.
" At Ilia next division of profits, in 1837, all who com-
menced ixesurance with this coin zany too late to participate
this year, will have a return on the whole amount of pre-
' miums )33 id by them up to midsummer, 1857.
"One. of your auditors. Mr. Robert Latter, who has long
enjoyed she confidence 'of the company, as well as the
esteem of all who knew him, has left this country perma-
nently for New Zealand, and his place has therefore to be
filled up. Your other auditor, Mr. J. W. Pewtress, re-
tires els. :by rotation, but is eligible for re-election.
" Foi tr .)1' the directors, Mewl. Jas. Low, Thos. Miers,
Thos. Olt ey, and J. Wiloashurst, retire also by rotation,
but are el igible for re-election.
" The 1 ,sses during the year, all of which were promptly
and satimE ectorily met, amounted to 2,9071. 18s 6d.
" On ru viewing the past progress of the company and the
year ju: it concluded, the directors can therefore appeal
with cor didence to their numerous members and agents to
exert th etnselves to the utmost in obtaining business for
the soc: lety. The affairs of the company are conducted
with the ~strictest regard to economy; its businessis rapidly
increasi ; all claims have been met without delay; and
this vel7y year exemplifies, even at this early stage, the
advante.,,go of its great distinguishing principle. With such
facts to sit ate, if each insurer would endeavour to bring the
company another, he could hardly fail to succeed, and the
result tux •uld be a doubled business next year."

The Ci TAIIIMAN—I am sure you will agree with me
that it is quite unnecessary for me to go into detail in
submittir ig the report and balance-sheet for your adop-
tion. 1 cm the more glad of this, because lam but just
recover g from a long illness, and am in such an en-
feebled et ate, that I should not have been with you had
I not apre•ehended that my absence might have been mis-
construed.. I cannot help feeling considerablegratification
in asking you to adopt the report and balance-sheet,
because it happens that I was one of the first who united
with a body of gentlemen in making a rather bold expe-
riment, with a view, not of aggrandising ourselves, but
of benefiting the public, by giving them the advantage
of insurance at the lowest possible rate, and that
on a safe and sound principle. When the society
was registered, an old friend of mine, connected with
one of the proprietary companies, said to me, smiling,
" Well, a: will give you a twelvemonth." But I have
to congratulate you, gentlemen, that we have now ar-
rived at our sixth anniversary—(hear' hear)—and I
think our experience has shown that the principle we
have ada,2ted is a sound one. It was, certainly, a bold
exneritne -it ; for, in carrying out any new undertaking,
difficultie : must arise that are not anticipated in the
starting. For ourselves, we soon found out that starting
a society that was likely to grow into considerable mag-
nitude entailed great responsibility on the directors.
We met that responsibility as honourable men. We hap-
pened fortunately to enjoy the good opinion of the pub.
lie ; for although we are not men of great title, we
are all, I believe, known to be men of standing and in-
tegrity. (Hear.) But another difficulty presented itself.
We were asked, " Suppose there are any serious losses,
what security have we that they will be met 1" We
felt the force of that question ; and, in order to set
it at rest, and to enable the directors to push the busi-
ness with more confidence, we raised a guarantee fund
of 200,01001. (for we thought the fund should be an
ample one), and made a call of 10 per cent. ; so that
any man. might see that, by insuring with us, be would
be as safe as though he insured in the Sun or the
Phoenix, or any of the oldest and richest offices. (Hear,
hear.) At the same time it appeared to ua that the
establislunent of a guarantee fund was not in any way
innovating on the strict mutuality of our society ; and
for this reason :—the money must come from some
source in the event of losses ; and those who advance
the money must, as a matter of boldness, be paid for
it. But there was this advantage in adopting a gua-
rantee fund over a proprietary company. A proprie-
tary company remains so fur ever ; not so our so-
ciety - because, whenever we get rich enough—
which in time I hope we shall do—our position will be
this. We shall come to you and say, " Gentlemen, we
have now twenty, or thirty, or fifty thousand pounds as
a reserve fund ; and it is for you to pay off your gua-
rantee fund, if you choose." You will have to decide
that question, not the directors. You may possibly
think that the present arrangement has worked very
well, and that it had better not be disturbed ; or you
may think otherwise. The matter must be looked at
seriously, so as, to decide whether we shall pay off the
guarantee fund or throw the advantage into the hands
of a future generation. You will see by the report that
we have been making a steady progress from year to
year, and that our increase of premiums has during
the twelve months nearly doubled that even of the
preceding year. That, I think, shows that the prin-
ciple is a sound one. You will all see at once that
the more business we do the greater will be our pro-
fits, as the expenses do not increase in proportion to the
business. 'fhe rapid success of the society, therefore,
rests with yourselves. You know the effect of adding
members to a society. Each added member may bring
another, and thus there is a continued progress. It is
very gratifying to me that I am surrounded by men in
whom we can have perfect confidence. This is riot the
case in all societies, but it is so with us. Our friends
are men of integrity and usefulness, men who live uotfor
their own benefit only, but for the benefit of society.
(Hear, hear.) Let rue urge you then to contribute as far
as you can to the support of this society. In doing so
you will be benefitting yourselves. Already we are en-
abled to make a return of 121 per cent. to the insurers.
This, remember, is not, as sonic might at first suppose,
121 per cent. upon this last year's premium, but upon
the three year's premium, amounting therefore to 374
per cent.—a thing not to be despised. For a long time
I paid 701. or 30/. a-year for insurances, and I should
say that for 40 years I never bad a single sixpence re-
turned •, but consider what 1 should have received if I
had had the privilege of insuring in a mutual society like
this ! (Hear.) I beg to move the adoption of the report
•
and cash accounts.

The motion was then put, and unanimously agreed
to-

The following directors, who retired by rotation, were
then re-elected ; Messrs. James Low, Thomas Miers,
Thomas Olney, J. Wilinhurst.
Mr. JAMES BLACKETT suggested that, in addition to
the statement in the report, a specific resolution should
be moved agreeing to the proposed return of 12i per
cent.

Mr. ISAAC DOXSEY thought such a resolution world
be more likely to attract attention than a mere state-
ment in a report, and it was important that the public
should know that there was a society in which they
could get a liberal proportion of their premiums re-
turned.

The CHLIRMAN said he saw no objection to such a
resolution.
Mr. BLACKETT then moved—

‘Th;---tl;itiineetiWoordially agrees with the recom-
mendation of the directors that 12i per cent. on their
premiums be returned to the insurers.
Mr. DOXBRY seconded the resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted.
Mr. J. W. Pewtress was re-elected as one of the
auditors for the ensuing year.
Mr. TURRET proposed Mr. Isaac .ox sey as auditor in
the place of Mr. Robert Latter, who, it was stated, bad
left the country for New Zealand.
Mr. CUTRIARTSON said, that, when Mr. Latter left
the country, the directors felt that they could not too
highly appreciate his character as a man of business
and integrity, and that it would be highly desirable that
some auditor should be chosen in his place who would
perform his duties with equal determination and zeal.
The nomination of Mr. Doxsey by one of the members
(not by the Board) gave the directors great pleasure.
He was a man of good business habits, possessing great
powers of penetration, and likely to prove an active and
valuable officer of the society.
The motion was then agreed to.
Mr. DOXSEY thanked the meeting for electing hikn, and
stated that he would endeavour to fulfil as earnestly, dili-
gently, and honestly as he could, the duties devolving
upon him.
Mr. austini, PRATT said he rejoiced to see the Chair-
man present after his lengthened illness, and hoped that
he would be able to adopt the motto of Lord Palmer-
ston, "To be bent, not broken." He (Mr. Pratt) had
lately been reading the mottoes of some English noble-
men, and some of them appeared to him to be peculiarly
applicable to the Society. The motto of the Duke of
Devonshire was, " Secure in caution." That was most
valuable for a fire company, and he believed it was one
on which the directors acted. They were exceedingly
anxious to be secure, and were, therefore, cautious. They
had no doubt declined much business, though that wasd
not stated in the report. Such a circumstance formed
the real security of the members, and was aguarantee
that the business of the society was properly conducted.
