It seemed as if her views were not to suffer the
flames of war to be extinguished, hut to kindle them
anew in the North by an event sudden and novel.
The fleets and armies of his Britannic Majesty
eame to perpetrate against Denmark, an act of which
history furnishes no example. The Emperor, who,
top the knowledge of England, was a guarantee of the
Manquillity of the Baltic, which is a close sea ; the
Emperor, who had been forewarned of nothing, did
not conceal his resentment ; and, in a second note de-
livered to Lord Gower, informed England that he
did not intend to remain a quiet spectator of what
had befallen a King, his relation and his friend.
The Emperor confesses, he did not foresee, that
after this declaration, England would make him the
proposal of undertaking to convince Denmark, that it
was her interest to submit to what had recently be-
fallen her, and to render Russia guarantee ; that Great
Britain should possess in perfect security that which
*she had so lately wrested from Denmark.
The Prince Royal of Denmark had not ratified
the convention of Copenhagen. As to the second pro-
posals which were made to him, he has again repre-
senwd to his Imperial Majesty how greatly he was
irritated by this new procedure of the British Ministry
towards him.
The Emperor, penetrated with the confidence
which the Prince Royal reposed in his friendship,
having considered his own wrongs against England,
having maturely examined his engagement is with
by the
the
Powers of the North, engageints.enteredinto
Empress Catharine and his Majesty the late Emperor,
both of glorious memory, has resolved to fulfill them. 11
His Majesty has therefore ordered the undersigned
to declare to his excellency, Lord G. L. Gower, his
Britannic Majesty's Ambassador, that his Imperial
Majesty breaks off all communication with England.
His Imperial Majesty recalls the whole of his mission
in that country, and will not allow that of his Britan-
nic Majesty to remain at his Court. There shall hence-
forward be no relations between the two countries.
The Emperor declares that he annuls, for ever, every
act heretofore concluded between Great Britain
and Russia, and especially the Convention of 5-17
June, 1801. He proclaims anew the principles of the
armed neutrality, that monument of the wisdom of
the Empress Catharine, and pre-engages never to
depart from that system.
He demands from England compete satisfaction
for his subjects on all their just claims for ships and
merchandize, seized or detained against the express
tenor of the treaties concluded during his own reign.
The Emperor declares, that no arrangements shall
take place between Russia and England until the
latter shall have given satisfaction to Denmltk.
The Emperor expects, that his Britannic Majesty,
instead of permitting his Ministers, as has lately been
the case, to scatter anew the seeds of war, listening
only to the dictates of his own feelings, would lend
his assistance to the conclusion of a peace with his
Majesty the Emperor of the French, which would ex-
tend the incalculable blessings of peace over the whole

world.
When the Emperor shall be satisfied upon all the
precedingpoints, and especially at to the peace between
France and England, without which no part of Eu-
rope can promise itself real tranquility, hi : Imperial
Majesty will then readily renew with Great Britain
the relations of friendship, which considering the dis-
satisfaction which the Emperor so justly feels, he has,
perhaps, already preserved too long.
The undersigned, having thus fulfilled the orders
of the Emperor his Master, requests his excellency
the Ambassador to lay the contents of this Note,
without delay, before the King his Sovereign.
