COUNT` hiIITTERNIMii , • -; •
This undersigned Minister for Foreign AllWrihas
placed before his Majesty the Emperor and King the
Declaration of the llth .August, by which Austria
throws off the mask of mediator, with which she co-
Vend her designs.
ffince the month of February, the hostile disposi-
tions of the Cabinet of Vienna towatils. France were
known to all Europe. Denmark, Sammy, Bavaria,
WUrretnberg, Naples, and Westphalia, hintkin their
strehitin &cements which prove how much A}stria,
Under the false appearances of the interest shittook
for her ally,. and the love of peace, nourished jea-
lousy against France. The undersigned refuses to
retrace the system of protestations lavished on one
side, and insinuations spreadtpon the other, by which
the Cabinet of Vienna comprimivedthe dignity of its
Bovereign,• and which in its developementx what is
anon sacred among men, a mediator, a congress, and
the name of peace. •
If Austria wished to make war, what occasion had"
she to clothe herself in false language, nedutueuund
. France with snares so badly contrived, that tlitiliere
evident to every body ? ,If the. Mediator wisheitfor
peace, would he have• pretended that so cothplicated
transactions could have been accomplished in.fifteen
or twenty days ? Was that a pacific disposition which '
consisted In dictating peace to France in less time
than would have been requisite" for concluding the.
capitblation of a besieged place ? The Peace of Tis-
chen required more than four months negotiations;
snore than six weeks were employed. in that of 4i510w,.,
before even the discussions respecting the forms were
terminated. The negociation. for the Peace of Vienna,
• when the greater part of the Austrian Monarchy was
in the hands of France, lasted two months: -In the.
different transactions, the interests anti mimber of the
parties were circumscribed ; and when at Prague the
point was to lay down the basis of d general pacifi-
cation to conciliate the interests of France, of Austria,
of Russia, of Prussia, of Denmark, of Saxony, and
so many other Powers I when to the complications
which arose out of the multiplicity and the diversity
of interests, were joined thediffictilties resulting from
the open and concealed pretensions of the Mediator,
it was derisive to pretend that.every thing should fie
terminated in fifteen days.
Without the fatal intervention of Austria, peace
would have been concluded between Russia, France,
and PxUssia. Austria, an enemy to France, and co-
leering her ansbitioff with the mask of Mediatri:c,com-
pllcated every thing, and rendered all conciliation
itrippssible. But Austria having declared war, is in
a more true and quite simple position. Europe is
thus nearer peace ; there is one complication less.—
The undersigned has therefore received Orden to pro-
pose to itaritlia, to immediately adopt the means. of
arriving at peace, by opening a Congress, where all
the Powers, great or smallyshall be called ; where all
questions shall be solemnly dilated; where it shall not
1)e demanded that this work, as difficult as it is salu-
tary, be terminated either in a week or a. month ; '
where they shall proceed with that leisure inseparable
from every operation of that nature with the gravity
which belongs to so great interests, and so great ends.
The negaciations should be long ; they must be so.
'Were the treaties of Urinhi, of Ni meg uen, of Ryswic k,
of Aix la Chapelle concluded in a few days ? Tn the
greater part of memorable discussions, the question
of peace was always independant of that of war.; they
negotiated without knowing whether they would fight
or not ; and sinceahe Allies. found so many hopes
upon the chances of battle, nothing prevents them now
as then, from negotiating whilst fighting.
The undersigned proposes to neutralize a point up-
on the frontier, as a place for conferences. _ To assi-
tnilate.the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, of France, of
Russia, of Prussia, of Saxony ; of convoking all those,
of the Belligerent Powers, and in commencing in that
august Assembly the work of Peace, so anxiously
desired throughout all Europe ; nations will experi-
ence a real consolation in seeing-the Sovereigns em-
ployed in placing a term to the calamities of wan.,
and to sincere enlightened men confided the concili-
ating the interests, compensating the sacrifices, and
rendering the peace advantageous and honourable to
all nations.

The undersigned does not propose to reply to the
Austrian Declaration, and the single grief Upon
which it is founded. His reply would be complete in
a single word. He would mention the date of the
alliance concluded between the two Powers, on the
14th March,'lBl2, and the guarantee stipulated by
the treaty, of the territory of the Empire, such 'as it
was on the 14th March, 1812.—The undersignedAke..
