On my !tiara' from Ratisborsits, I lost
laying before the King Any master the 'prtsphi
which your excellency bas been charged to make
us, concerning the prolongation of the Armistice
until the 10th of August. His Majesty deferred re-
plying thereto till he had conferred on them with his
Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden, with
whom he was to have an interview at Trachenberg
on the 9th, and with the English Ministers,..
[ . 1 concert with the two Allied Courts, he is happy
in giving his Majesty the Emperor of Austria a new
proof of friendship and confidence in prolonging the
Armistice to the 10th of August, of which M. de
Humboldt will in consequence be informed.
I beg your EXcellency, &c.

Reichenbach, 4 (16) July.

GENTLEMEN—I had the honour of receiving your
letter, bearing date the 3d (15th) of this month, as
well as the projet of a convention which was thereto
annexed.

I see that two difficulties will prevent the conclu-
sion of the latter.
The first is that concerning the. Jay on which hos-
tilities should recommence.. Having received very
positive orders on this head fro'm the Emperor, pre-
vious to his departure from the army, I cannot ex-
actly conform myself to the proposal.
We cannot consent to enlarge the term to the 10th
of August (new stile), for recommencing hostilities,
it the preliminaries of peace should not be signed by
that time. The two modes of settling what relates
to that point are, either to.stipulate, as is pointed out
in Art. I, of your projet, that no mention shall be
made of a denunciation; or to add, that it shall bei
necessary to denounce the armistice on the 4th of Au.
gust (new stile), to be able to commence hostilities
on the 11th of August (new stile) ; that is to say, on
the moment after midnight between the 10th and
11th, the armistice shall have ceased, and it shall be
allowable again to act hostilely. lam able to make
no change in this, if it were my wish : in consequence,
it is useless to revert any more to this point.
The second difficulty concerns the officers to be
sent to pl'aoes occupied by French troops, &c.
