No. XIII.—NOTE.
The undersigned, Minister for Foreign Afars of
his MajeF,ty the Emperor of all the Rusias, has. the
honour to reply to the Note of the ;Mt h of (Maher,
signed by Mr. canning, Secretary of State for.:Fo7'
reign Affairs to his Majesty the King of Great,-Iit!? .
and addressed by his Excellency to the Rus-
sian Ambassador at Paris .
That the admission of the Sovereigns in Alliance
with England to a Congress cannot be a point of
any didiculty, and that Russia and France consent
to it.
But this principle by no means extends to the ne-
cessity of admitting the Plenipotentiaries of the
Spanish lusurgents : the Emperor of Rhssia 'cannot "
admit them. His Empire, in similar circumstances—
and England can recollect one particular instance—
hai been true- to the same,principle. Moreover, he
has already acknowledged the King. Joseph 'Napo-
leon; He has announced to his Britannic Majesty,
that he was united with the Emperor Of the French
for peace as well as war ; and his Imperial Majesty
bete repeats that declaration. He is resolved not
to ,eparate his interests trotuthoseill that ISlonarch ;
but they arc both ready to conclude a peace, pro-
vided it Le just, PonouiAble, and equal for all parties.
The undersigned sees with plea Sure, that, in this
difference of opinion respecting the Spaniards, no.
thing presents itself Winch can either prevent.or de-
jay 1 ivtititig of •a Congress. Ile derives tiia
stlaion.h.) this respect, from that kt hip n ins Britannic
Majesty "h'ashimselfconfided to the two Emperors.,
that he is bout d• by no positive engagement with
thoSe %ilk, have taken up arms in Spain,
After fifteen Itars of war, Europe has a right to
demand. peace. The interest of all the Powers, in-
elding that of .-England, is to render it general
humanity commapds it ; and such a desire, surely,
cannbt• be foreign to the feelings of his Britannic
Majesty. • Flow can it be, that ho alone can with-
draw himself from ,such an objed, and refuse to
terminate the miseries of suffering, humanity ?
The undersigned consequently renews, in the name
of the Emperor, his august. ittasitierri,ta.tihneil c Majesty
alieady made, to
,send Plenipotentiaries- to any
city 'on the Continent which his
may' point out; to admit to the Congress the Pleni-
potentiaries,of.the Sovereigns ih alliance %shit Great
Britain ; to treat upon the, basis of the uti possidetis;
