.6 The contents of this answer have given them
new proofs•ef the real national spirit and zeal for the
welfare of Germany for which his Excellency is uni-
versally *seemed, and they beg him to accept their
warm thanks for this communication. They have
received from him, with high satisfaction, a new as-
surance, that on the principal points he agreei with
them in opinion, that the Constitution of the Germa-
nic Confederation cannot be organized in a way more
favourable for the general welfare than by restoring
the imperial dignity. with such modifications and pr.-
',lieges as are suited to present circumstances. The
correctness of these views tranquillizes them the
mote, inasmuch as they are in like manner embraced
by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, the Sove-
reign of a country to which our native Germany is
so highly indebted. They, therefore, do not fur al'
moment ddubt that the Prince Regent. as well as his
Minister, will contribute to the accomplishment of
their common wish. With this hope, they beg to
enter into some additional explanations on the points
adverted to by his Excellency that they may not be '
exposed to the reproach of having neglected any thing
in an affair of such high importance to Germany.
" According to his Excellency's Note. the chief
difficulty opposed to the restoration of the Imperial
Dignity in Germany does not consist in the terms of
the Treaty of Paris, but in previous negotiations, in
virtue of which other Powers have regarded that dig-
city as no longer existing.
46 The undersigned having no knowledge of these
negotiations, cannot form au accurate judgment on
the subject; but though they readily believe that the
idea of 're-establishing the Roman Empire might
hive been abandoned, as incompatible with the gene-
ral situation of Europe, and also the idea of renew-
ing the linperial Dignity, because then it had be-
come a matter of indifference to the Court of Austria,
and that therefore the sole intention then was to unite
the independent States of Germany in a federative
league, yet. nevertheless, they cannot help thinking
that there existed neither the wish nor the power to
oppose any obstacle to the internal organization of
the German Confederation, and particularly to the
existence of a head of that association, invested with
the Imperial Dignity.
66 They deem themselves the more authorized to
suppose this, as they cannot imagine that any of the
high contracting Powers could have any interest in
preventing the Germanic Confederation from receiv-
ing any particular form, considering that that body
can in no case assume an offensive attitude. They
think, on the contrary, that the other Powers of Eu-
rope, following the example of England, would una
nimously subscribe to the declaration, as generous as
wise, which the Emperor of Russia caused to be pub-
lished in his name and in that of the King of Prussia,
on their approaching the frontiers of Germany, by
Field Marshal Kutusoff, March 21, 1813 as well as
the invitation, dated Head-quarters, at Kalish ; a de-
claration by which that respectabl: Monarch an-
nounced to the Gerofan people liberty. independence,
and the regeneration of their venerable empire, as a
matter to be wholly left to the German Princes and
States; in order that the primitive spirit of the Ger-
man nation might be renovated with greater strength*
and unity than ever.
But the Court of Austria, from that German
patriotism which characterizes it, must view with
pleasure an arragement whirl will be best calculated
to consolidate tranquillity and concord in Germany;
and if, to avoid' every appearance of self-interest in
the late great contest, and to remove every difficulty,
it may not have chosen at the important moment tit
daisies: to advance any claim to -the title. of Empe-
rot- of Germany, it may still be considered as ea.
tremely probable that Austria would not decline re.
taming the dignity of Chief of the German Empire,
if she thought that she would thus best fulfil the
wishes of a nation which she esteems, and if such
conditions were offered to her as would enableher to
support that dignity with honour and enerAy.
66 From these considerations, the undersigned are
convinced that the negotiations which preceded the
Peace of Paris by no means exclude the possihiiity of
re-establishing the Imperial Dignity, as soon as the
majority of the Representatives of the German Na-
tion shall have assented to the same. N. ither can
they sce any difficulties in the way of the other powers
of Europe approving of this, especially.if it is consi-
tiered that nothing new is claimed, but merely the
re-esvtaeredblish. ment of a state of things as nearly, as post,
