THE CZAR'S SPEECH ON THE TREAT Y
OF PEACE.
A letter from Moscow of the 11th, in the Con-
stitutionnel, contains no less a document than a
speech from the Emperor of Russia on the treaty
of peace :
" The Emperor arrived here yesterday, when not at
all expected, and without any previous announcement of
his visit having been made. His Majesty was accom-
panied by the Grand ' Dukes Constantine, Nicholas,
and Michael, and a numerous staff. This n.orning
Te Deem was sung in the cathedral, to celebrate the
signature of peace. The telegraph from St. Petersburg
had informed us of this fact, the news of which was re-
ceived with great joy by the bourgeoisie, but quite dif-
ferently by the aristocracy. The Emperor and his
brothers were received with great enthusiasm by the
inhabitants, who lined the streets from the railway to
the Palace. This morning his Majesty gave an audience
to Count Zakrewski, the Military Governor. The diffe•
coat circles of the nobility, with the Mar,hal who pre
sides over them, and the grand military and civil func-
tionaries, were also admitted to an audience, and when
all those personages were assembled around him, the
Emperor addressed them as follows :-
4" The war, gentlemen, is at an end, for before leaving
St. Petersburg I ratified the treaty of peace which had
been signed by the plenipotentiaries assembled at Paris.
I ant happy to announce this news to you officially,
and to repeat before the nobles of Moscow the words
.vhich I addressed to :my people in my last manifesto.
Russia might have defended herself energetically for
many long year', and Lthink ahat whatever force might
have been brought against her she was invulnerable on
her territory. But for the real interest of the country
I thought fit to listen to, propositions compatible with
the national honour. War is an abnormal state of
things, and the greatest successes which may •be ob-
tained are not equivalent to the evils which are
caused. The war had suspended the commercial rela-
tions of the empire with the greater part of the nations
of Europe. I should certainly have continued it had
not the voice of neighbouring nations been raised
against the policy of these latter years. My father, of
imperishable memory, bad his reasons for acting in the
way he did. I know his desig;s, and I fully adhered to
them ; but the treaty of Paris has fuily attained the ob-
ject he had in view, and I prefer that means to war.
Many among you, I am aware, regret that I antlered so
promptly to what was proposed to me. It was my duty
as a man and as the head ef a great empire to reject or ti
frankly accept; that duty I have fulfilled conscientiously
and in good faith ; I feel assured that allow .1-ices will
he made for the difficulties of the state of affairs, and
that before long every devoted friend of Russia will do
justice to my intentions and to my views for the future
welfare of the country. Supposing that the chance of
arms had always been favourable to us as it was in
Asia, the empire would have exhausted its resources in
keeping up large armies on different points, and hands
would have been wanting for agriculture and manu-
factures. Even in the Government of Moscow the
large industrial establishments had closed their doors. I
prefer the real prosperity of the arts of peace to the vain
glory of combat. I have just opened Russian ports t
the commerce of the world and the frontiers to the free
circulation of foreign produce. I wish that hencefor-
ward in our markets there shall ho an exchange made
between the productions of every country an 1 those of
cur own soil. Several plans will be shortly communi-
cated to you for giving-an impetus to native industry,
and in the realisation of which I rely on every noble
taking part.'

' "This speech of his Majesty was listened to with the
most profound attention. During the whole of the day
his Majesty Continued to receive deputations of the in-
habitants who were anxious to off,r their homage. The
Czar afterwards visited several manufactories and pro-
wised assistance to several of the proprietors of them
whose-resources bad been exhausted by the war. He
also gave orders that the preparations for his coronation
should be pushed on with the greatest activity. Persons
are already arriving freitrtith iiiretior in order to secure
•accommodation for the ceremony."
