STATE PAPER.

:written by Lord CASTLIRZAOII, at Vienna, on the 11 th of
October last, and addressed to the Prince Dna Ito EN IS ma
referred to In the Debate la the House of Commons last night.]

" Mon Prince—l have the honour to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of yesterday, together with
its enclosures, and I lose no time in explaining my.
sell upon their subject; with that frankness which I
have ever observed towatds your Highness. There
is no principle of European polity to which I attach
.more importante than the stibstantial re-establish-
ment of the Prussian Power. The glorious services
which she has rendered in the last war, give her the
mint eminent claims on our gratitude. Bnt 4 still
more powerful motive exists in the necessity of con.
sidering the Prussian Monarchy as the only 'solid
basis of any atrangement with a view to secure the
North of Germany from the immi lent .I.ngers with
which it might be exprsed. In such a crisis it is over
Prussia that it is our duty to watch. We mutt unite

our force with per's ; and, in this view, it is ne-
cessary that Prussia be substantial and strong, pos-
sessing all theatti ibutes of an independent State, ca-
pable of :halting herself respected, and of inspiring
her friends with ciiilficience.

a With ”ard to the question of Slxony, I de..
dare tooti, inn if the incorporation of the while of
that c-untry with the Prussian Monarchy be neec ssity
for the attainment- ot an object so innp trtant t•tr Fu-
r Vie, *bate-yet pain I must persol.ally expeii?nee
fr,.m the idea of st•eing as ancient family ill such a
vitt: of affliction, I should entetrain no
tither moral or po.i i:al, agai ist •11.. m!asur: :
It;cver a Sovereien was rlacei by bit own acts i I a
situ fain to t i•ly sactifiniet to Cie feu are tran-
quillity of Europe, I conceive she King t f Slxony to
low: been so pi iced by his perpetu it tereivetsai ins,
and because he has been not only the mot dented,
but the most favoured of Bona parte's vassils ; contri-
buting with all his meansrand with the greatest r a',
in the double capacity ot a German 34 well as Pn:i
Severeken, to extend the general subjechn, even
into the heart of Rassi.i. lam aware that many ins
stances are to be found in Germany of a similar on.
Utica' immorality. I ant acquainted, however, with
none which is equally revolti•ig.
II And in the vicious course in which the Ge., an
States have considered ttseitielyes as almost warrant.
ed in proceeding for some time past, as all cannot be
punished, and me greater number have made rep mt.
don by subsequent services. I shall not regret, that,
in pardoning the guilty in the mass, one maniple be
made from amongst them, in order effectually to as-
rest the progress of such an intolerable evil.
11 Your Highness will see from this Declaration
that I can have no hesitation in assenting to the prin.
ciple of the proposed arrangement, it it be necessary,
in order to place Prussia in that situation which the
interests of Europe require that she shitnld maintain ;
but if this incorporation is to be regarded as the means
of indemnifying Prussia ler any losses she may sus-
tain from the alarming and dangerous presensions
of Russia ; and under the idea of inducing her to
submit, without a frontier of defence, to an evident
state of dependence on Russia ; in the latter position,
which, for the interest of all, and more particularly
of Russia herself, I should deeply lament. I do not
consider myself authorised to give your Highness the
least reason to hope that Great Britain would ever
consent, in the face of Europe, to such an arrange-
ment.

" In the full persuasion that a result so incompa.
tihle with the principles of the alliance, could ne:ther
be proposed un the one hand, nspr accepted on the
other, I have no objection that Sony be confided, as
your Highness desires, to the Provisional Adminis-
tration of his Prussian Majesty. lam the more wil-
ling to give my consent at once to this measure,
which appears to me both just and reasonable in
itself, as a pledge of the sincerity of the assurances
above given, and in the confident hope that the King
of Prussia will not lend himself to any arrangement
incompatible with the dignity of his Crown, or with
the permanent security of his dominions.

di I have conceived your Highness must be desirous
of being made acquainted, without delay, with my
opinion upon this latter subject ; and as soon As
Prince Metternich shall consider himself at libel ty to
come to an explanation upon the points to which
your Highness's letter refers, I shall be ready to enter
with you upon the whole matter; and I am very
desirous of bringing to a conclusion an arrangement
which appears to be essentially connected with the
ben interests of Europe. (Signed)
