Stettee-Your VlaOTiOU3 arms had rendered you

of that empire depended upon your will. The
I:..nperor of Austria came to seek your Majesty in
thseolddle of your camp. He'implored you to put
.end to a contest,, which bed become so disas-

whole of your immense conquests; you restored
the greater part of them. The Austrian Empire
acquired a new existence. - The crown was' con-

I.:dcsse, whieli is su eecrssary to the safety of
'L4iekte, was ceded to the Austrians, which atterded
o decisive proof that France. entertained no views
against her territories. It was then acknowledged,
• that there no longer remained any subjeet.of discus-
s.ent between your Mutesty and the Emperor of
Auxttia. 14011 that time there were-eo Mot* COM-
platuts, no more demands; every thing wore. the
symptems of the most peried harmony ; your Ma-
jesty endeavoured to forget the war which Austria'
had commenced against you without provocation,
and the SLICC6II which had crowned the French
arms, and you gaveyourself up to the hope, that a
levee had been established which would not be ex-
'posed to interruption. The horrible expedition .to
Otspenielgee, and the-Orders in Council or the I 311)
Noe; tut proved that the English would not' allow
cif stuy neutral poWer. Their concluel
,excited the
.of ad Europe. The. Emperor of Aus-
tea seemid to participate in the general sentiment.
Ite recalled his Ambassador from London, and shut
ht s ports against the English. The troubles in Spain
broke out; they were fomented by the English.
The King, Charles IV. was driven from his throne
by his Son, Who was guided by the Duke De
in?•intnio and other partizans of., the English.
w;ioie objeA was to withdraw Spain from- her' al-.
Issued ss Ws France; your Majesty was desirous of
preventing your enemy from obtaining so danger-
ous a tietory, and thereforO opposed their effurts.
When the unhappy King,' Charles,. overwhelmed
with grief which he,felt ter the attempt, of which

Tic jetty occupied them in order fore-establish the
work of Lewis XIY. and, to
_renew that bond of

terbances in same of Ale provinces. 'risen- it was

Eshe arfistiti; 'a system which was called defensive was
ziopted, which gave birth to those numerous biota-
jfroi Militia, with which Austria threatened the
06 -ism tif Germany. The wholerpopulation of the
c6inttry was oall4upon to take up arms. The Ma-
rriott Princes visited" all the Provinces, and issued
Proclamstions as it the 'Monarchy was in dangei of

ersed of these inovementi, you charged me to make
repreteittations upon the subje6 dielated by' a spirit
or peace, which the Ambassador of that Power could

n it niisenderstand. On your return from Bayetnitse
to Paris, your. Majesty Yourself ehtered „into an ex- .
planation with that Ambassador;-an explanation
which is 'Mown to'all Ettrope, area which left no
deubt of your pacific intention;; which your'MAjesty,
expressed with as much good feitheand frankness, as '
caildour and energy. Your l‘lajesty foretold to M.
D Metternich; that these armaments, commenced
without a emelt*, would lead-to a-war against your Ma-•
jesty's wishes, .against those of the Emperor of Aus-
tria, and even thoseof his Ministers, if they wished-
to revert to pacific principles, because, when so great
a degree of impulse was,gieen to a . people, it often
'mastered those who gave it, who became unable to
restrain the Movement's they had excited. Perhaps;
Sire, it would have been 'More politic at that.fime,to
have compelled 'Austria to disarm, . by threatening
her with all the force ofyonrviaorioue armies,which
At that time surrounded her.on all sides. Your Ma-
jesty undoubtedly would; have done so, if, relying
,upon your alliance with Russia, you had not pre-
ferred listening to the suggestions of that Tower?
'which bored that Austria would be helocedeo-adoot
inure wise, and pacific views. The' Austrien Attie
bassadoe at that time assured your Majesty' that these
-.armaments were noefotuied with hostile views, and
the Emperor of AuStria wrote to your Majesty to
profeti his pacificsentiments. The Baron 1)e Vin-
cent; ,who. was the bearer of that letter,. renewed
those assurances. Your Majesty thought him sin-
core, and gave the Fennel= Francis the most solemn
pledge of,eour pacific intentions, at the Moment you
wereleavireg,Erlifrt I 1, artcl at the seine time reiterated
these assueances wleCh were set, proper to dissipate
all apprehensions, if fear bad been the motive that
induced, Austria to teen. 'Your Majesty. invited the
Priecetof the Coutederation of the Blithe; to break
up the Camps which they had leaned.' You eva•
coated the fortifications • of Silesia, and 200,000 of
your 'troops'quitted Germeny. But it was in vain-
that your Majesty n anitested this confidence; Yew
just expthations were • disappointed. The' military
measures of Austria were culled. on with increased'
a6tiviiy- In spite of the rigour of the season,, the
exercises of the Milli is were 'continued without in-'
terreptiote. The port of Trieste:was opened to the
English, their ships of wer came there, and convey-
ed Austrian fleets to Malta' end those Austeian fleets
from• Malta carried English merchandize to the Le'
vent. The Spanish. insurgents were. received, and
Mas were given: to them al Trieste; the Austrian
Charge d'Affaires in Spain became the agent 'Of 'the
Junta, and the healer of its' correspondence abroad.
—The Austrian States swarmed 'with libels ageiuSt
France; 'the Austi inn Gazettes circulated false news
respeeting the affairs of Spain ; they, published an
account- of
_the total defeat of your army at .Ronce-
vallos, regretting, .no doubt, that your Majesty's
reign presented only the prodigies of that of Charle-
magne, and net.its fabulous disaster?. To menacing
and almost hostile rneasores, were joined those un-
equivocal marks of ill will which proved the-object
of the Austrian Al moments, And the spirit of ,the
systeM which she had embraced. 'Such was the in-
formation which reached your Majesty in Spain.—.

army-was occupied with its retreat, and that retreat
made befnre your Majesty, exposed it to the gteatest
danger. One of these accidents which frequently
occur in war, discover'.d to your Majesty the
coct-
nexions subsisting between the Spanish Juntas and,
the Austrian Governmt nt, and the promise of the lat-
ter to furnish the former e ith 100,000 men, a prolPige:
which wee undoubtedly made without any intention-
of performing it, but merely for the purpose of
keeping up the spirits of the insurgetee by felse
hopes. Atiength, as it Providence (which has so
often watched over 3 our Majesty, or rather over
France, and bas emulated you as-it were by the
hand) wished touueeil the bad feith and perfidy of
those who dared not yet declare themselves your
enemies. , The Declaration of the King Of .Etigland,
of England, of the . itith December tell into yottr
hands, and in it your Majesty read the following re.
meltable words
" If among the nations which groan under the
tyranny of Frencreallinnce, or among those which
maintain against France a doubtful and precarious
independence, there should be any which ever
were between the certain ruin of a prolonged in
activity, and the 'Consequent danger of an effort to
save themselves front that ruitn—to .nations en •
situated, the delusive prospt ola Peace between
Great Britain and France coeld oot fail to he particu-
larly injurious. Their prepares resets might he relaxed
by the vain hope of returning tranquility, or their
purpose shaken by the apprehension of being left to
contend alone." Thus England herself gave informa-
tion to youteMujesty of the preparations of Austria.
These preparatious were the, cause of the failure
made by the two Emperors' to to obtain a Maritime.
Peoce.. Your Majesty coeld no. longer doubt-that
you were mena':ed wide another war. The pro,'
Mises given at Erfurtb were brokene and Austria.
armed against, her benefitelor. • Youi• Majesty:was
bound to'. recollect 'what was done to yoOr people,
and
,you abandoned with regret the pursuit of the.
English. May one
,ef your Ministers preseme
upon this occasion to be the interpreter of the pets-
lic opinion, of that opinion which isThunded-upon
fifteen years of vietdry,"and to Add that, however
great the success's were which your Lieutenants
obtained, and wherever talents they displayed, still
had your Majesty- conducted the' war in -per.
son, not an ,Engitsinnan would have :maimed to
England. But your Majesty: made this sacrifice
to the, security of your dominions. Youreturned to
Valladolid to give thelaseorders which the state of
Spain required, and 'wrote:to tihe Princes of the Cone
federation of the :Rhine to prepare their contingents,
a ineesnet of sieutle precaution, which the appre-
hensions which they had long entertained, rendered
necessary, and your Majesty returned tO Parie..
Your Majesty was willing to make another at-
tempt to avoid this war, which you had not pro-
voked. you employed the intervention Of the Rus-
sian Minister for Foreign AtfairS, who was then it
Paris. After hearing the overtures of your Majes-
ty, he Ow the Austrian Ambassador,-and proposed
to him an arrangement which would unittoothe three
'Empires by the ties of 'a triple guarantee, which
Would give to

was alsp.aeacyted by the-two other Powers. , It i*
painful to state it, but those propositions of M.,Ros„

manzoff did not produce any good effe&. Never. •
theless,. still hoping for some success from thesis
overtures, and not being able-to persuade yourself-
that the blind delirium which had been excited in
Austria by a faaion sold to England, would entirely
stifle the voices of alt brave men, and dell men
who were really friends to/their country, your Ma- •
jetty made bo movements among your troops, nor
-among Those of the Confederation, nor among those
of the divisions of the,lnterior, which your Majesty
destined to maritime expeditions,. or to be sent to
the relief of the Colonies. in a short time Austria
did not think 'it necessary to preserve any mea-
sures. Bight months preparations had given,sin the
Militia Which she had raised, a new army. In the
middle of February, orders were issued to putall her
troops in motion, and for them to march to the
frontiers. The • Whole Monarchy was under artni.)
:For a long time Austria had Made war against France
pat-Constantinople. She. had effeaed a reconciliation
between England and Turkey. Nevertheless Atla-.
isle still preserved the most profound silence. From,
period of the Treaty 'of Fontainbleau, she had
neither made a complaint nor a demand. Your Ma-
jesty had to. complain of , the assassination of your.
Couriers. in. Croatia:;' of, insults' offt• red at Trieste..te
French Officers ; of violencea-offered to some•of
your Italian subjekla ; but you waited patiently for
the redress of your wrongs, when on the 2d of
March the Austrian Ambassador announced that his
Master had given orders for putting his troops on a
war establishtnent. And he assigned as a cause far
that measure the information transmitted to the ,
Princesoi;tbe Confederation of the Rhine, from Val- -
ladolid, -some articles which appeared in the Joir-.
palsj. and, finally, yoorMajesty's return to Paris.—
,Your Majesty ordered me to' reply by a Note, in
which I recalled to his recalleoliou that there was no.
subject -of discussion. bet Ween the two Courts, and
;demanded of. Austria what it was she required, again
~expreising your. Majesty's wish that the people of
Europe should enjoy the blessings of peace. M. de
Metterniph 'endeavoured in his answer of the t 2th,
to prove that it was the armaments of your Majesty
that caused thote of Austria, as if your Majesty had
armed against' Austria when you had evacuated Si-
lesia and Warsaw, transported .2,00,000 ;nen from
Germany to Spain. It was not till then'that your
Majesiy renounced entirely your projeas against the:
English, the expedition against Sicily, which the
King of Naples had prepared, and the embarkations,
which were to have taken place at. Brest, Boulogne,
Flushing, and. Toulonsi every thing was counter-'
j manded,, and the troops- marched for Germany.---
No, it is not because France has avowed that Au-.
stria is under arms. On the contrary, it'is.because
she found Freeze weakened by• another war, and
thought the moment favourable for the re-establish-
ment of her ancient influence that she made these
prodigious efforts. She makes war, no doubt, be-
cause she thinks she can mike it with success. She
hat made it withotif any,complaint, witheut making
any demand, any proposition, or leaving the other
party arty-choice. She has made war, when your
Majesty, so far
.from requiring , any _thing, of her,
only manifested a wish for her tranquility and pros-
perity. When you offered,, to guarantee ;the inte-
grity of her territories,- when she EMperor Alex-
ander, having expressed, his' disapprobition of the
conduit -of 2-Ursula to the Austrian -Ambassador,
offered to renew his guarantee. against France.—
Austria makes war against France and against Rus-
sia ; against those two Powers that offered to pro-
te4 her. Thus, it is not for security that she has
taken arms. The treaties which tixed her fate ate
no longer a law to her. She says they were con-
cluded under disasters, as if the cessions obtained
by victory were not binding upon the vanquished.
You; Majesty received intelligence that the Austriaps
hadpaased the Inn, that they had commenced the
war. A letter Waif written from the Austrian Geh•
neral to the French General, stating that he .was
about to march forward, and that he should treat
those as enemies who opposed him.—Your Majesty
did every thing to avoid this war, which prudence
and moderation could suggest. But if the spirit
which has always animated Austria, has made the
politics of that 'Power an obstacle to a Maritime
Peace, perhaps it is •not tb be regretted that she has
brought on the crisisWhich•Will remove the obstacle.
The Maritime Peace will not take place, until the
Peace of the Continent is established, and.until the
English shall have lost all hopei of disturbing it by
their, intrigues. May such be, the
.resultri of this
new war. Yone. Majesty is not jealous of the
pOwer of Austria, and does not desire its destruction ;
but may you, by Your arms, the only, resource left
you, bring her back to,a real-state of peace. Peace
is the most -worthy conquest your Majesty can ob-
tain, and it is the., one yeti desire most. Site, your
people will second you in this new contest. The
admtrable foresight of your Majesty, which enables
you to carry on a nets war without adding to, the
horthens of the state, is deeply felt by a grateful
people, a people who admite every thing that is
great, defend'every thing that is just, and are pas-
sionately fond of military glory.
If mord efforts should be tiecessary to. ensure the
success of your' arms, they will anticipate your.
wishes: '• Their- devotion will equal the love and
admiration they feel ter. their-august Sovereign.---
