The Sovereigns of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, assembled
in Congress at Troppau, have addressed to me three Letters,

From the letters themselves, which I have ordered my Al i-
Tiist.,:r of Foreign Affairs to communicate to you, you will dis-
he .
ottr the irupoitance of the object of such an invitation, which
'el the r• is that of interpsing me as a mediator between the above-
:Ould hat mentioned Sovereigns and the Nation.

ve been i
yens as I am hi make any sacrifices to establish in a solid man•

aces
offers me the hope of being aisle to effect it. I have conic-

sented by my advanced age, and the rigour of the season, by

promptly accepting the invitation, since the aforesaid Sove-
reigns' have caused to be declared to me that they will not
admit any others, comprising even the Princes of my Royal
Family, to treat with them. I set out with the confidence
that Divine Providence will afford me the means, by which
may give you the last proof of my love fur you, by averting

Far be from me, and from you, the thought that my wsent
to this project can make me fur a moment false to the good
of my people. In leaving you, it becomes me to give you a
newand solemn guarantee of it. I therefore declare to you, and
to the nation, that I will use my whole power, that (faro de
judo wide) my people may enjoy a wise and liberal Consti-
tution. Whatever variation • may be required by circum_
stances relatively to our actual political state, all my strength
shalt be exerted that it may remain founded on the following

My faithful Deputies—As I take this care upon myself to
convince you of my love and of my solicitude for the Nation,
I desire that a Deputation, composed of four Members se-
lected by the Parliament, shall accompany me and be wit-
nesses of the danger which I may overcome and of the exer-
t" Made to avoid it.

It is necessary, however, that, until the issue of the negb-
ciations, the Parliament should not propose any novelty in
the different branches—things remaining in the state in
which they at present are, and limit its care to the part which
it is called to take for the organization of the army, since, as
to those things which have. been, tisey must, through the ne-
cessity of time, be continued for the new year as they were
already fixed fiir that which is about to expire. It is my firm
will to carry Iwo the expenditure the greatest economy in
ali breeches, provided circumstances will admit it.
In departing, I leave you all that I have most dear. You
will continue towards my Royal Family in the sentiments of
attachment which you have always professed.
I confirm to my most beloved sun, the Duke of Calabria,
the Powers of my Vicar, which are expressed in my Acts of
the 6th July and the lit h October of this year.
I ant convinced that you will receive this communication as
a proof of MY sentiments, anti as the effect of the necessity
which obliges us to prefer to every other secondary interest,
the
safety of our country.
