" The Empetor FRANCIS I. could not see, with-
out the greatest regret, the revival of War last. Au-
Intuit, between his Majesty the Emperor of the
FtteNcit and King of ITALY, and his Majesty the
King or PRUSSIA ; and' he: was soon .after more
deeply oft.eNed to -see hatilities extend, and' fall
upon a'gteat part:of Europe. If guided by a prin-
cifile of stri6f.and'ioions . impartiality from the
first, his Imperial Royal and /VestOlie Majesty has
had the go ti fortiino to maintain in these stormy
periods his system of neutrality, and to preserve, his
people from the tuisfintunes of War, lie has not the
less lametved the calainnies which ,Were ntult; died
around his dominions; aod in his just fear to the
tranquillity and security of his kingdom, he could
not conceal feom himself, either the perpetually re-
curring alarms on his frontiers, or the sinister.ettelis
eNp,Tienced by several branches of its internal Act.-
nnnistration, _The ‘E.uveror, invariahly animated
by 1:)e same dispositions, had no other views' frnm
tile commencement, and during the course of hos-
inities, than to labour to bring about a reconcilia-
tion, and to avail himself of every favourable op-
portunity to put an end to the mistortones of War.
Ile conceived, that the het mode of attaining this
sahnary object, was constantly to impress upon the
Bliigerent' Powers his sentiments Of moderatienand
conciliation, and studiously to endeavour to excite
tit 17. em correspondent dispositions.
" .Yoe confidence which a prosptel so consoling
inspires, the gemeral,‘,v,ellaie and the interests of his
own States, make it the duty,of his Majesty to pre-
sent to tier Belligerent Powers his friendly interim-
siiieu, and, in consequence, he does not hesitate to
conuouoicate to ---- the otter of his' me-

diation mid good offices.
" But, considering the extended end complicated
nature of the present witr, the Emperor would feel
that he had but impertedly expreSsed his ardent
wishes for peace, and his 'hopes of its speedy and
"coMplete re-establishment, if he did.not declare, at
the same tione,,his firin,conviCtiOn, 'that . it .can be
only by the united attention of all the Powers con-
cerned in the %at., and by a general negociation
which should comprehend their respective interests,
that permanent tranquillity, and 'such a solid and
durable , peace as may, for 'the future, confirm the
Nlitical relations of Europe, can be established.—
From this strong impression, he fraul:ness of
hiS Majesty's charaMer will not allow him to conceal,
his Imperial Majesty feels it, to be Ins outY to COM-
timnicate this pacific overture to' thoseCtibinets who
are to .11lte a pars in the conferences ;
,and, in' conse-
qttent he hastens equally to invitett he Courts, of
tit. Petersburgh, London, and
,the Thuilleries, to
adopt the same views of conciliation, and to enter
into negociations Thr peace, in which the most
itn-
portant concerns of ail time parties interested may be
combined, as'far as it is possible.
" The 'Emperor expressed his earnest wish to
see peace re-esiablished.' J-le will not alloix, himself

to suggeSt the particular limn of the negociations,
will less to anticipate the, intentions ci other Powers,
or to expressany opinion respetting the preliminaries
which it may be net..,.s.iry to lay down, in order to
,establish the principlesot the first approximatiZm be-
tween the Belligerents..
". His Imperial Majesty, notwithstanding, in the
hope dim the friendly otter of his interposition will
beilegariied in the manner that .the rectitude of hts
intentions 'inclines him to think it will, •hastetis 'to
pt.( pose, for the purpose of facilitating by his inter-
rosn ion the opening of the negociinions; such place
in his dominions as, from, its situation and locality,
may be convenient to all parttes,; and which, on this
account, should an be too contiguous to the theatre
of war 'and in this, as well as in all other points,
the Emperor will feel the, greatea pleasure in con
trihuting to accelerate the period :of so desirable an
union."
