DEFINITIVE CONCLUSUM.

It (hall be declared to the Minifters of the me-
di it ing powers, that the Deputation have maturely
weighed, according to its importance, the new
general plan which was tranfmitted to them under
date of the Bth of this month. They acknowledge,
in the fit ft place, the benevolent regard which the
Mediating Powers and their Minifters have had
for the reprefentations and remarks which the
Deputation have made upon the fill declaration.
They acknowledge hefides, with the warmeft gra-
titude, not only the benevolent views and efforts
by which the Mediating Powers have fought to
accelerate the re-eilablithment of order and tran-
quillity in the Empire, but alto the indefatigable
zeal with which their Minifters have fought, hither-
to, to fulfil this talk. And as the doubt which
the Deputation ftill had, upon the fubjea of the
new plan, is done away by the illuftrations given
in the Notes of the 13th and 19th of this month,
they make no more difficulty in accepting, in all
its extent, the general plan of the Bth.
In confequence they will adopt, without delay,
conformably to that plan, the neceffau decifions
upon the regulations to be made ; thc!f will unite
the whole in one ael, in order to be able to com-
municate it to the Minifters of the Mediating
Powers. The prefent. Conch:film (hall be delivered
in the accuflomed forms, to the Imperial Pleni-
potentiary, with the requeli that he will adhere
to it, and communicate it to the mediating Powers.
The Minifter of the Teutonic Order lamented
that the Conclufum was drawn up, without wait-
ing for the inftruaions he expeekd to receive.
In the fame fitting in which the Conclofurn was
palled, the Minifler of Aullria gave his vote upon
the general plan of the indemnities ; it is as follows:
In conformity with the initrations of his Court,
the Sub-delegate confiders the ()Ned of the deli-
beration under two points of view ; that is, under
that of the plice of the claims made to the De•
potation to the Empit c for his Royal Highnefs
the GI wid Duke of To SCA N v, and nt zt under that
a the conciliatory difpofitions and meafures of the
Imperial and Royal Court. The Sub-delegate
eflablilhes, that France, as a contracting party at
the peace of L'.neville, cannot conclude any con-

vention with others, nor preferibe plans of indem-
nities which attack any ftipulations whatever off
that Treaty ; on the other hand, the part of Me-
diator does not give the faculty of injuring the
rights of a party interetled, and the Deputation
cannot accede to a plan which injures the Treaty
of Luneville, confidered as the bafis, and motive
of their being convoked. By the Treaty of Lune-
ville, the Grand Duke of TUSCANY is to be in-
demnified completely ; and that indemnity is
neither to be found in the firft nor the fecund plan
of indemnities ; and to the furprife of the Impe-
rial Royal Court, no regard has been bad in the
modified plan to the reprefentations made upon
the fubjed, though meafures have been taken to
anfwer all other claims. In equity, no one can
put a falfe interpretation upon the difpofitions of
his bi?Eitiat. MAJESTY, if he fees himfelf under
the neceflity of protecting, in the molt folemn man-
ner, the rights of his aug'till brother, and of pro-
/filing agility the adoption of the modified plan of the
illediatitzz Powers. The legitimacy of this proteft
cannot be invalidated by any elfentia! reafon
founded upon the public law of Germany; neither
by the majority of votes of the Deputation, be-
caufe that majority has not authoriled the Depu-
tation to outftep the limits and end of its full
powers ; neither by the invariability of the Me-
diating Powers, becaufe thefe regulations ought
to be guided by the legitimacy of the demand,
and not by determinations which have their fource
in difpofitions, friendly, but not emanating from
any (lrength of right. It could not be oppofed
to this demand, that the mafs of the indemnities
is not equal to the mafs of claims ; for in that
cafe, the number ought to be reftrided to that
which is expreffed in the Treaty, and then the re-
ftridion arising from the infufficiency of the mafs
of indemnities fhould he applied not to one tingle
part, bur to all. Neveithelefs, thefe principles
are often departed from in the Plan of Indemnities.
The Sub-delegate then Rates, that the negocia-
tions are [till in train at Paris; that his Court has
lately made, by its Ambaffador, propofitions to
the French Government, which prove its extreme
moderation as well as its conciliatory difpofitions
and juft regards for the parties iutcrefted, and
from which it has juft ground to exped a happy
refult. The Imperial Royal Court flatters itfelf
with having by fuch equitable propofitions evident-
ly manifelled the nature of its conciliatory difpofi-
tions, and the price which it attaches to the inter-
ference and to the friendly Fropofitions of the
Mediating Powers.
After this it has fo much the more reafon to
hope that thefe Powers v ill have, by ric'pt ocity,
regards for his Royal Highnefs the GRAND
DUKE, and that they will pleafe to make in their
plan of indemnities fuch modifications as the Im-
perial Royal Court can agree to.—lt mutt he ken
from this ftatement that the Imperial and Royal
Court cannot incur the 'call reproach of delay ;
far from it, the Sub-delegate mutt regret that the
belt intentions and conciliatory meafures have not
been received on the part of the Mediating Powers,
nor by any of the Co-Etlates to the Deputation,
with that eagernefs, which would have removed,
and flill may remove by fome means or other, all
the difficulties. The general (tate of things is not
betides fufficiently preffing to caufe apprehenfion
of danger in a more mature difcuflion. All Europe
is tranquil, and willies to maintain the peace.—
Germany awaits the decifion of its fate with pa -
tience and firmnefs. 'France has every reafon to be
content with the advantages which fhe has obtained
from the Peace,and has no reafon to envy the royal
and imperial Court the execution of the ftipulations
which concerns it, and [till lets to refufe it.

Auftria, far from envying any body his jull
pretenfions, is ready to facrifice more than half of
her jut} claims to facilitate her fettlement of the
bufinefs of the indemnities. As to Palfau, the
Imperial and Royal Court it is difpofed to confent
to the abftraaion of the part of that Bifhopric
fituate beyond the Inn and the Danube, provided
there be given to the Archduke Tome other ad-
vantage in exchange. She is alto difpofed to make
her troops evacuate that part of Paffau, if the
EleElor Palatine, on his p. at, (hall undertake not
to occupy it, until, by tome arrangement of indem-
nity, his Royal Highnefs the Grand Duke (hall
be fecured Iccording to the fentiments of mode-
ration above expreffed.
