sters, directed to treat for
.Peace, without any ap-
pearance of Congress, without any formality or eti-

proceedings and usages of society..
At tha moment of the meeting, the Envoys legi-
timated themselves with the Mediator, *and the Me-
diator's Minister legitimated himself to them.
The Plenipotentiaries of the Belligerent Powers,.
from that time, addresied their projets of Peace to
the Mediator, and through his intervention *received
the answer.

The Plenipotentiaries 'did not, during the whole
duration of the Congress, hold a single general con-
ference; but they, nevertheless, met every day
among themselves.
It was not till the day of signing the Treaty of
Peace, that the Plenipotentiaries of the Belligerent
Powers assembled for the first *ld last time, in a
general sitting, with the Mediators, to exchange their
respective full powers, with the signed treaties.

FRENCH PLENIPOTENTIARIES.
Prague, July SI, ISIS.
The undersigned Minister of State and for Foreign
Affairs to his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Ma-
jesty's Plenipotentiary from the mediating Court, has
received the reply which their Excellencies the Duke
of Vicenza and the Count de Narbonne, Plenipoten-
tiaries from his Majesty the Emperor of the French,
and King of Italy,-have transmitted to the note which
he had the honour of addressing to them on the 29th,
inviting them to concert with him on the mode to be
adopted for the negociations.
He has transmitted this reply to the Plenipoten-
tiaries of Russia and Prussia, and he has the honour
to send annexed, the copy of that of those Plenipo-
tentiaries to their Excellencies the Duke of Vicenza,
and the Count de Narbonne.

The undersigned requests the delay which will re-

ligation wlttch their Excellencies have thought they

Prague. August 6, lats.
The undersigned Plenipotentiaries from his Ma.
'levy the Emperor and King have the honour to re-
rpli to the Notes which have.been transmuted by the
Count de Metternich, Minister of State and for Fo.
reign Affairs of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria,
Plenipotentiary of the mediating Poser.
The Convention of the 30th June, by which France
accepted the mediation of Austria, was signed after
the two following points had been agreed upon; •
1. That the Mediator would be impartial, that he
had not, nor would not, conclude any Convention,
even eventual, with a Belligerent Power,.dering the
whole time the negotiation should last. si
2 That the Mediator did not present hithselt es
an arbitrator, but as a conciliator to arrange diferi
ences and reconcile parties.
The form of the negociations was, at the same time,
the object of an explanation between Count de Bubna
and the Duke of Bassano. It was thought right to
understand each other before-hand on this subject,
because, from the negociation of the Aisnisticeolitc,„
4th of June, Russia had sheen her intentions, •
given it to be understood, that she wished to QOM T. •
negotiations, not with the object of peace, but whlk
the view of compromising Austria, and extending.:
the misfortunes of war. The form of contemns.
was fixed.
The undersigned cannot but express their asto-
nishment and their regret, that although they have
for some days been at Prague, they have not yet see&
the Russian and Prassian Ministers, and that the coo-
{mixes gate not even been opened by the exchange
of the respective Powers; and in fact, that time so
precious has been employed to discuss ideas equally
unexpected, as incompatible with the assembling of
a Congress, as they tend to establish that the Pleni. .
potentiaries must negotiate without knowing each
other, without seeing each other,- and withourspeak.
ing to each ether.
The question proposed by the Plenipotentiary of
the Mbdiator, in his Note of the 29th July, when he
invited the undersigned to concert with him upon the
mode to be adopted for the negociatiun, whether
that by conferences or writing was previously deter.
mined oy explanations which accompanied the Coo.
vention of the 30th June. However willing, as far
as depends on them, to remove all difficulties and
conclude pretensions even the least founded, the un• •
dersigned propose to the Plenipotentiary of the Me.
diator, to exclude neither modes of negociations, and
to adopt them both conjointly.
For this purpose they would treat in regular con.
ferences, which should take place once or twice a
day, either by Notes transmitted while sitting, or by
verbal communications, which should or should not
be inserted in the Protocol, according to the demand
or requisition of the respective Plenipotentiaries. By
this means the usages of all times would be followed,
and if the Russian Plenipotentiary persisted in wi:,1032
to negotiate for Peace without speaking, he
be at liberty to do so, and could by Notes make
knowe,the intentions of his Coon.

The undersigned Hatter themselves that their pro-
posal will conciliate all parties, and that the opening
of tlut conferences be no longer delayed.

COPY DM A leDrtt FROM M. DE HUSABOLDT TO MS EXCEL-
LZICT COURT DE awl-ryas ten. - ,
. Prague, Auf,ust 7, 1811.
The tindersigned Minister of State and Plenipo-
tentiary horn Ins Majesty the King of Prussia, yes-
terday received the Note of the French Plenipoten-
tiaries, which his Excellency Count de Metternich,
Minister of State and for Foreign Affairs, and Pleni-
potentiary to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria,
had the goodness to coniniunicaw to him. When their
Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of
Russia hastened to accept the mediation of the Court
of Vienna, and thereby proving both their desire
of terminating the calamities of war, and their defe-
rence fir his Imperial and Royal Austrian Majesty,
they might have supposed that their adversary would
have equally resyected this mediation, and that they
• won'd have been sate from seeing so false and injuri-
ous an interpretation given to their intentions. -The
note which has been just communicated to the under-
signed proves that this expectation was illusory.—
The conduct of the French Plenipotentiaries is defi-
cient in all the respect due to the mediating Court,
and destroys at once all hopes of peace, by gratui-
teusly supposing, in the Allied Courts, views. con-
trary to its. re-establishment ; and they pervert, in-
stead of answering in a plain and natural manner,
the notes of the Mediator ; so that throughout there'
has not been one represented in its true light, which
was presented on its proper day.
The undersigned abstains from analyzing the pas-
sages which regard the mediation of Vienna. To re-
peat its words would be to hurt the sentiments which
his Court has continually professed towards his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Austria. The most simple no•
tions of mediation, and the mere perusal of the Con-
vention of the 30th June, will be sufficient to enable
us to form a judgment upon it.
'4i:form of the negociations could not be agreed 1
upon separately at Dresden between tha medaling
'C in and the French Government. The unlimited
confidence of the Allied Courts at the first rendered
all further explanation useless on this point. The '
French Plenipotentiaries, therefore, cannot be asto-
nished at not seeing the conferences opened, which,
according to the proposal for the form of the trans-
actions in writing, could not take place.
But the undersigned. might have expressed his just
• surprise at-the delay in the arrival of the French Plc-
ni.poieatiaries, and the length into which the negoci-
4klUtl. was protracted,: if it had not been the re-
solution of los Court to refer whatever concerned this
• nepOciation solely to the Mediating Power.
-14 was hit.regerd for the benevoleet negotiation of
his Imperial wail Royal Apostolic Majesty, which
elope could rouse his Majesty, the King of Prussia to
'condescend to suffer his Minister to wait during fif-
teen days to no 'impose for the French Plenipoten-
Defies ;. and his. I.4e'ellency Count de Metuanich
would certainly feel i,i natyial, that Without the same
sentioroats, the undersigned should deem it his duty
hot tu continue his aho./e-liera autil the actual mu.
rnesite nor expose i,iunself to see a false If;ht thrown

he pi eserteedziregauce ;silierefora it would not
have been is any manner ; and! the ender•
signed thinks it 'almost superfluous to say, that he
ought to continue in insisting on the form proposed
bf his Excellency the Count de Metternich, and
which has served for the basis to a !;town and memo-
rable peace.
Although the note of the French Plenipotentiaries
affects to apply solely to the conduct and views di
the Court of Russia, (an. affectation which is exten-
ded to the Ministers of. the two Courts,) whilst the
steps of Prussia and Russia, as likewise those of their
agents, have constantly prevented the most perfect
concordance, the undersigned has no need to say,
that his Majesty the King-his master can but doubly
resent that passage in it which concerns his August
Ally ; and that it is impossible to apply to it the
name which it deserves. It would be .beneath all
dignity to vouchsafe a reply to it.
The people cannot be mistaken as to the authors of
their evils. The Sovereign, who, after having re-
pulsed the most unjust aggression, and-after having
succeeded, by the efforts of his faithful subjects, in
destroying au army which had dared to invade his
empire, has professed the most pure and the most
noble desire of re-establishing a stable and solid
peace, is not the one that should ever be charged
with the wish of putting it off, or of prolonging the
miseries of war.

The great and important question in the present
transaction is, without doubt, that of peace.; and
Europe and posterity 'will easily judge which of tl.e
two parties has opposed itself to its prompt establish-
ment; whether it be the Allied Courts, which, as
well as the mediating Court, have, by departing from
the grand erinciple to which they will ever remain
faithful, of restoring a state of good order, and the
general balance of power to Europe, have done every
thing not to lose a single instant of those precious
moments, which the repose of arms offered for the
work of pacification, or whether it is the Government
which, after having deferred, without any plausible
pretext, the commencement of the negociation ; and
after having followed up one by another, does not
hesitate in causing to be sent, four days before the
expiration of the Armistice. a note, similar to that
which the undersigned has just examined. not with-
out a lively and deep sense of pain, in seeing those
questions, on which the • welfare and tranquillity of
nations depend, treated in such a manner.—The uti-
dersigned has the honour, &c.
