power's ifnist surely have interfered by tn'Sta c,
since it has at no time become the Congress, and
much less any of its parts, to interfere in that bu-
siness. And as it is of the greatest importance,.
that either in the Protocols or in the diplomatic
arellives, some record shall remain of what the
Undersigned yesterday declared Verbally, there-
fore he has the honour now to repeat it in *hitt-
ing. He then declared, that all that, be could do,
out of respect to the Powers whose Plenipotentia-
ries were assembled yesterday evening, was, that
he must leave to his own Court the decision in
relation to the communicated treaty, and till
then, cannot subscribe it :

1. Became his instructions forbid him to suhscribe any
agreement contrary to the immedilte and complete' restOi'a-

as he had the honour to make known To Prince Metternich it

-and Which has not been imparted to Congress, contrary to
the express wishes therei❑ set forth.

cert.

that that can be called entering into negociatiun between two
Powers, when the Plenipotentiary-of the one is merely in-

3. Because-, 'among the great number of articles of which the
treaty consists, there is only a small number respecting which
information was given in the conferences to the Plenipoten-
tiaries of the eight. po:sers who signed the peace of Paris; and
as all these Plenipotentiaries arc reciprocally equal', and the
Powers whom they represent equally independent, it cannot

The Undersigned requests his Highness Prince Metternich,
