the Allies-, and the security of:Europe ? If it

VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH TO EARL BATHURST.
Paris, Aril! 1814.
•
Sty Lord--I arrived here on the 10th in the evening..
The great and auspicious events which had intervened he.
twnen me last diSpatches from Dijon, I had the satisfaction
to find had been regularly transmitted home by Viso. Cath-
*art. and Sir Chas. Strtwatt.
The hurry of a first arrival must excuse Tile to rnir t,rd-
Shiplor adding little to the mass of important and inte,esting
matter, which you will find detailed in the various Journals,.
With respect to the progress of the happy change which has
been effected.
I shall therefore, on the present. oecaOsin,
.confine myself
to an explanation of what has passed with respect to the fu-
ture destination and settlement of, Napoleon and his family.
Your Lordship has been alread) informed,. by Lord Cath-
cart, of the Act of Abdication which-
.was passed Burma-
parte en the 4th instant, and of the assurance given him by
the Emperor of Russia and the Provisional Government, of :,
pecuniary provision of six millions of francs, with •a safe
asylum-in the Island of Elba. The Act in question was de-
posited in the hands of Monsieur de Canlaincourt and the
Marshals Ney and Macdonald, to be given up upon.' the due
execution of enf.2:l..,,,mtents on the part of the Allies, with
respect to the proposed arrangement These persons were
also authorized to agree to an Armistice, and to .settle such
a li e of demarcation as might he satisfactory to the Allies,
end, in the mean time, prevent an unnecessary effusion of •
On my arrival I found this arrangement on thelp9int of
execution. Convention bad been discussed, and would
have, in fact, been sm.ined in the critirse of the day, by the
M;nister, had not the approach of the Allied
tees been announced. The andiveis for accelerating the im-
mediate conclusion of this 4.t Were the ircotivenience, if
not the_danger, of4->apoleon's remaining at Pontainbleau,
sufrounded try triaps, who s' in a considerable degree, re-
mained faithful to him, the apprehension.of intriznes in the
arttly and in .lie capital, and the ,importanee attached, by a
cons-idorall?e motion of the oillecrs, to 5011.1 e arrangement 'fa-
vourable to thsir Chief,. in szitisteticn of their personal' bo-
huforc they eft-him.
On tire nigt)t of my arrival, the four Ministers had a con-
ference wish the Prince de Ilenevent On the subject of the
proposed C'onvention, to which I stated •my objections, de-
siring, at the same time, to he understood as not arcing them
then,. at the hazard of the internal Jeanquillity of France,
nor in.impe;achment of what was due, in good faith, to the
assurance given, under the eaigency of the an;ment, by
russia.

The Prince of Penes-cot admitted the.weieht of many of
The objections .stated, but declared that be did en.nsider it on
the part of the Provisional Government, as an object of the
di'ist importance, to ayoid any thing that mivia,assiue the
character of a civil War, even fur the shortest time: that he
also found some such measure essential to mate the army pass over in a temper to be made use of. rpon these (lecll-
- and the Count tie Nesselrode's, that, the Een•
rums his Master bad felt it necessary, in the abs; ace
of the /lines, to act for the liet in their name as. well
as his own, I withdrew any further opposition to the
principle of the measure, sugg'esting only some altera-
Cons in the details. I desired however to:decline, on the
part of my Government, being more than an accedinz ploy
to the Treaty, anti declared that the Act of :teression on the
part of Gre‘at liritain should not go beyond the. territorial ar-
rangements proposed in the Treaty. My objections to our
vinK unnecessarily r&sed in its forms, especially in the re-
,o4-,rni-lion of Napoleon's title under present circumstances,
"wtre considered as perfectly reasonable, raid I only enclose
the Protocol and Nole, which Kill explain the extent to
which I have talieu upon me to give assurances on the port
of nay Court.
At my snggestion the rocncnition of the Imperial titles in
the Family were limited to their respective Lives, for which
there was a precedent in the case of the King of Poland, when
he became Elector of Saxony,
To the orrangemeat in favour of the Empress I felt not
only oo oltjcctWit, but considered it due to the distiiiptished
sacrifice ot domestic feelnv's which the Emperor of lush is
was making to the cause of Europe. I slo,:rld have wished
to substitute another position in lien of Elba for the seat of Napoleon's retirement, but none having the quality ?If secu-
rity, on which he insisted, seemed disposable, to wl,ich equal
objections did not occur; and I did not feel that I conld en-
canrage the altemative, which! NI. De Coolaiocouit asitired
rnc i3ttunaparte repeatedly mentioned,. name Iy, an asylum its Englana.
