Sas, Dowaing-ftrect, Eth April,
4' It was not until yeflerday evening that I received
your difpatch of the t ft inftant. Before I proceed to
anfwer it, allow me to allure your Excellency, that
its franknefs and politenefs have afforded very great
pleafure. The appearance of a fpirit of conciliation
in both parties is one great Ilep towards peace.
If what your Excellency mentions with refpeet
to interns* affairs, is meant to he applied to political
affair., an anfwer is fiercely neceffary. We take no
part In them in time of war, and a crrtiori, we will not
do fo in time of peace ; and nothing is farther from
our thoughts than to with t• meddle with fuch inter-
nal laws as you may judge necefary for the regula-
tion of your cufloms, and the fupport of your tom.
Inertial rights, or to infult your tag.
" As to a treaty of commerce, England has no'
greater inevrell in willing for it than other nations.
There ate many perfons who are of opinion, that a
treaty of the kind between France and Great Britain
would Ise equally advantagenns to both the Contraft.
,lag Powers. But this is a queltion which each Go•
veromeot mutt decide upon its own view t and that
wbitla minks it is guilty of nooffente, and is not ac-
counted:de to the propofer.
" It is sot my *pinion alone, Sir,bnt that of every
.retfOnahla man. that peace is the true intereft of

who are at her bead confifts in obtaining anti preferv-
ing it.
0 It is true, we have reciprocally scented each
other—but it would be of little ufe at prefent to
dif-
cuts the grounds upon which flick aeculations were
founded. ' Like yno, we wifli for equality. We are
not, molt affuredly, accountable to each other foe
what we do within nutfelves ; and the principle of
reciprocity prepared by your Excellency on this head
'appears to be jolt end reafonable.
s,I agree with you in refpelt to the inconvenience*
whichwould refult toFrancetrom a flint t-lived peace;
but onthe other hand, its difadvantages to os would
alto be very confiderable. It is natural, that in filch
a cafe each country fhould magnify its own danger,
or at leaf that it- (hould look more minutely into
them than into the dangers of another.
" As to the issterventims of a Foreign Power, I
Ihould begin with obferving, that as far ai regards the
qualm: of peace and war between France and Eng-
land. Rata cannot be conGdered as a fiteeiga pnwet,
as (he is allually in alliance with England, and at
war with France. it was on this principle that, in
my letter, I propofed in introduce the Emperor Alex-
ander, not as a mediator, but as a party.
" In the left paragraph of your difpatch, your
Excellency has admitted that the peace fhoold be
honourable as well for France and England as for
their refpeftive allies. if this be the cafe, it appears
to me impoffible, confidering the rink alliance fob-
titling between the two Governments, that England
can commence a negotiation, except it be of aspro.
vifional nature, without the concurrence, or the pre-
sinus confent, at kaQ of her ally.

" As to what refpeas the integrity and- indepen-
dence of the Ottoman Empire, no difficotty can
arife—thefe being objets equally dear to all the par-
ties interelled in the diktiffion in queftion.
a ft is perhaps true, that the power of France by

equal to oar naval faperiority, confidered in the fame

that the projea of uniting all Europe agaioft France,

I could, the fentiments of the Erni& Government
upon the ideas fuggefted by your Excellency; I have
the fatisfation of believing, that there is only one
elfential point upon which we are not agreed.

" I have jun received the orders of his Majelly the
Emperor and King, before whom I laid, with all
poffible expedition, the difpatch which your Excel-
lency did me the honour to addrefs to me, under the
date of the Bth of April.
" It appears to his Majefly, that in admitting, as
you do, the principle of equality, you Rill have per-
Red in requiring a form of negotiation which can by
no means accord with this principle. When among
two equal Powers, one of them claims the intervention
of a third, it is evident that it tends to deßroy that
equipoife fo favourable to the fair and free difeuflion
of their interells. It is evident, that it has no incli-
nation to remain contented with the advantages and
rights of equality. I troll, Sir, that in refuelling this
difeuffion for the lall time, I fisall be able to perfuade•
your Excellency, that there is no title nr motive to
jullify the inviting of Raffia to a negociation propohd
between France arid England.
u When the war broke out between the two Powers
Ruffia was at peace with France. The prefent war
his not in the lean altered the relations between her
and us. She at fiat propofed her mediation, and af-
terwards, in confequence of circumilances foreign to
the war which feparates us, tome coolnefs having
arifen between the two Cabinets of St. Peterfburgh
and the Thnillerier, the Emperor Alexander thought
proper to lac/end his political relations with Frances
bnr, at the fame time, he declared, is the moil poll-
tire manner, that it arse not hi, intention to take any
part in the difpotebetween us and England.
. We do not think that this determination has been
in the lealt altered, by the conduB which Raja has
fince held. She has. it is true, concluded a Treaty
of Alliance with you ; but this Treaty, it is eary to
perceive, fro/winch articles of it as have trantpiied,
by the objeft which it had in view, and Rill more,
horn the confequences which followed it, had no
relation whatever to the war fubfilling fur two years
between us and England.
" This treaty was an aft of participation in a war
of another kind, more extended and general than the
firlt. It is from that war that the third coalition
atofe,in which Aufiria was the principal power, and
Raffia the auxiliary power. England concurred only
in the mojed of this war; we were never opoofed to
her force united with that of her Allies. Ruffia only
appeared in it as a fecondary Power. No declaration
addrefTed to France ever informed us that the was at
war with us ; and it was only on the field of battle
where the third Coalition was defiroyed, that we
were officially informed thatßulEa was engaged in it.

documents which were publithed by the differen ,
Powers. There was no queftion of the dire& ion:
veils of England in theta casks. There two wars
have no coonedion whatever; England did not, in
ha, participate in that which has been jolt ended.—
Rolla has never either directs y or indir. • ly taken
part in that which Rill exills. There is, therefore,no
ireafon why England fhould not terminate by herfelf
the war which the alone has carried on againft us.
.4 If his Majefty the Emperor fhnuld now adopt
the principle of nerciating with England, jointly
with her new Allies, he would implicitly admit that
the third coalition Rill exifis—that the German war
is not finished—that this war is the fame with that
which France dill maintains againft England: he
would implicitly admit as a bafis of negociation the
eonditions of M. Novofiltzoff, which excited the
aftonithrnent of Europe, routed the French charac-
ter ; and, indeed of the Conqueror of the Coalition,
the Emperor would voluntarily put biolfelf in the
place of the vanquilled.
" The Emperor, at this moment, has no tooted to
maintain againfl the Coalition. He may even over look
the connexion which you had with it; and, in treating
with yu the only quellions that can be are, the rim-
tins and objects of the war andertaken by you ante-
- eadent to your alliances, and which has outlived them.
" 41thoulth it is only within theft fie months that
the veil, which concealed the fecret erwabinatioss Of
the lad war, has been rent, it is, not with (tending, true,
that the Continent is at peace. Anaria, your prinei.
pal ally, made a feparate peace with us. Proffia,whofe

has concluded an alliance, offenfive and defeolineor ith
es. Sweden does not defy ve to be mentioned. As
to Ruffia, a din& propothl of negociation tails
between her and us. By her power, the has no or-ca-
licos for any protection, and the cannot call for the
Interpofition of any Court towards terminating ohs'
differences between us. Her affiance places her fo
much out of our reach, as it does out of the poffi-
bility of injuring tit, that pent or war produces no
other change in our refpefine relations, than Di.
plomatic alterations. If, under Inch eircumflanees,
the Emperor thoold agree to negotiate jointly with
England and Rolla, would he not relinquith all his
advantages 1 Would he not recognize the exittence
of a war which he has glorioutly terminate 4 ? Would
be not, in fat, concede to England the principle of
equality already agreed upon between us.
" If you, Sir, with your ufual difcernment, will
examine the arguments which I have the honour of
lubmitting to yon, you will agree with me that fuch
a negociation would be far more prejudicial to us
than war, or even a con refs.
" In fad, hi a congreTs, if England, Sweden, and
Rata, thonld contend for the ellabliihrnent of the
principles which have laid the foundation of the third
coalition, Pruffia, Denmark. the Porte, Perris, and
America, would protelt again thefe principles, and
require equal maritime laws, and a fair divilion et
rthe dominion of the tea. Without doubt, in fuch a
dile:l.l6on, the diminution of the French power would
be often voted for; but then,lon the other hand, the
diminution of that of England would alfobe required.
Some Powers would call for the reftoration of the bag
lance of the South of Europe; but others alto would
call for that of the North of Europe. A great num•
ber would occupy themfelves for the balance of AU;
ail would feel intended for the restoration of the be.
lance of the feat; and if, from among fuch compli.
cated and Rormy dikuffions, it were poffible to ca-
pes% a conclußon, fuch conelufion would be right
becaufe it would be complete; and certainly hi
Majefiy has declared, on every °nation. that be
would have no °Nation to make facrifitps for the
public tranquillity, when England, Ruffle, and all
the great Powers, would be each difpofed to recog-
nize efiablifhed rights, to protea feeble States, and to
adopt principles of judice, moderation, and equity.
But the Emperor is too good a judge of human sta.
tore to be (educed by chimeras, and he is aware that
be fhould only perplex bimfelf by feeling for peace in
a labyrinth of ten years diftuffion, during which time
the war would be continued, and which would only
render its termination more difficult and uncertain. It
would then be neeeffary to take a new road, a. was
done at Utrecht,leave the Allies to wafte their time in
endlefs and ufelefs debates; treat from one to another;
dikufs, as was then done, the intends of the two Pow-
ers, and thole of their refpedlive Allies; conclude •
pace for one's fell, and to make it fufficiently jolt and
bonoutable,that it could not fail of being agreeable to
all the Powers interested. Tbis is the way in which
two powers, fuch as France and England, fhould tea
initiate, not in ten years, but immediately, their dis
putts. and eflablith at the fame time the rule of their
rights, and that of the intereft of their Allies.
"To return to the fubjea, Sir' I fee in the propokd
negociation only three poßible forms of dig-coition t i
negociation with England, and the Allies which the'''
acquired at the formation of the third Coalition ; ne-
gociation with all the Powers of Europe. with the ad-
dition of the Americans ; negotiation with England
alone. The firs of thefe forms is inadmillible, be-
caufe it would fubjeft the Emperor to the influence
of the third Coalition, which nn longer exists. The
Emperor would have negotiated in this way, if he
bad been beaten. The Wood form of negociation
would render the war perpetual, if the inevitable
incidents which might strife in it at ever y mornent,and
the paffions which it would engender, did not put a
violent enJ to the difeuffions, within a few year. after'
their commencement. The third, therefore, is the
only form deferable by thole who really with for
peace. His Majelly it perthaded that the equitable
and moderate difpofition, which he is happy to per-
ceive in the tone mid language of his Britannic Ma-

refolved to mike known to you, anti the natio*, the
principles which we have adopted foe the dilation
of our political condo&
" Our extraordinary moderation at the cleft of
each of the three former wars, has been the caufe of
that which immediately followed. Thus have we
had to contend againli a fourth coalition, nine months ,
after the diffolution of the third—nine months after
that fignal viaory which Paovinsuce vouchfafed to
us, and which held forth an affnrance of a long re.
pole to the Continent.
" The influence of England, however, fowler or
later, extends itfelf over a great number of the Ed-
rrpean Cabinets ; and without a durable peace with
this Power, onr people cannot enjoy thole benefits of
peace, which have been the fira aim of our labours,
and the Cole °Nat of our exitlence. Notwithaanding
our triumphant petition, we were, even in the tall
eegociation with England, AM more Artick by the
arrogance of her language, than by the facrifices (he
was difpofed to teat from as. The Mend of Malta.
on which it famed as if the honour of the war de-
Ipended, which England in contempt of treaties re-
tatned,and which was the firif caufe of war, we agreed
to cede. We agreed that, betides Ceylon and the
'kingdom of Myfore, England fhould afro retain the
'Cape of Good Hope.
" Bat all our exertions were fralltated, when the
Cabinet Councils of our enemy aided to be animated
by the noble ambition of unittng the happinefs of the
world with the usual profperity of one's country, and
the latter with a permanent Rate of praperity ; and
no profperity can be permanent for England, which
is founded in an extravagant and unjull policy, that
would deprive of all commerce, and all natigation,
fixty millions of people, who are their neighbours,
and who are both rich and brave.
" Thus, after the death of the Englifh Prime Mi.
nifter, we eafily perceived that the negotiations were
continued with no other view than that of throwing
a veil over the formationof the fourth coalition, which
his been ffrangled in its birth.
" In this new fituation, we have adopted as the
immutable principle of oar tondos% the refolotion

tions of the Ottoman Power have been fecored, and
the complete independence of that great Empire,
one of the moR important interds of onr people, has
been irrevocably confeerated.
s We have placed the Britifh iflands in a flats of
blockade, and ordered meafures to be taken *punt%
them which excite a ftrnggle in our heart. It has coif
us the pain of a viaory, to render the intereft of
private individuals dependent on the difputes of
Rings, and, after fo many years of civilization, to
return to thofe principles which eharaferize the
barbarifrn of the &A ages of nations. But the
welfare of our people and our allies has compelled
us to employ againll the common foe the fame
weapons which he tiles againfl us.
" There determinations, which are dilated by a
jnif feeling of reciprocity, have originated neither in
pa (lion nor in hatred. The fame offers which we made
after the diffolution of the three coalitions, which
contributed fo much to the glory of our peciple. we
are fill ready to make at the moment our arms have
gained new triumphs. We are ready to conclude
peace with England s we are ready to make peace
with Ruffia and Pruffia ; but on filch principles alone
mull it be concluded,. as that no one, be who he
may, (hall prefume to claim any thing of us, on the
pretence of fuperior power. The C4eain waft be re

" Should theft difpoiltione, in the whole of their
extent, tend to retard for a time the period of a
general peace, the delay, however Drat it may be,
will to our heart appear long. But we are con-
vinced, that our people will duly ellimate the wifdom
of our political motives, and perceive with us, that
a partial peace is only an armitiice, by which we tilt
the lots of all the advantages we have gained, and
fond& occafion to a new war, and that France
cannot find her profperity but in a general peace.

of nations ; and the French people will (hew them-

At what more attrative moment could we invite the

FIRST REPORT OF THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AF-
FAIRS TO HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR AND KINO.
" Sot a—A fourth coalition was fronted. In lelk
than one month has it caporal Well to derifion. In
leis than a month has Prutlia feen her armies, her
tot melee, her capital, and her provinces, in the power
of your Majelty, and the is now fuing for peace.
" During the preceding coalitions, each of the else-
mien of France. the moment he was defeared,fitlicited
peace, and obtained it. It was hoped that fuccafive
Croat ate treaties would lead Loa general, honourable,
and fecure peace. Thrice has this hope been difap-
pointed ; thrice has experience dernonfirated, that
by following the fame fylictu of moderation and ge-
ticrolitr, France would be continually deceived. Each
coalition, though ditrolved, gave birth to a new coali-
tion, and France was threatened with eternal war.
The French empire has obtained a degree of
power and grandeur to whidt your Majetly did not
afpire. Attacked on all fides with unexampled fury,
and reduced to the alternative of ruin or viaory,
France only ft.ught for fafety, and having become
aiantious, the availed halal of her tritutiPho only
to give a proof of her moderation. She did not an-
nihilate thole who wiled to annihilate her. She
made immense couqueas, and retained only a very
ttmall portion of them. She would have retained a
Aill (mallet (hare, bad not that Blom lighted paffions
which raged around hir, laid her under the neceOlty

at this Moment, when the has been attacked for the
fourth time, with the fame fpirit of rancour, and with
the fame prole& of deftruaion. your Majefty has no
other views than to demand what is indifpcnfably
neceffirry to the welfare of your people. This object,
however, cannot be obtained, tulle(' your Mara,
avail yourfelf of the complete extent of your advan-
tages, and retain your conquells to fttroilts a fund of
indemnitities upon the conclufion of a general peace.
" Two powers, the enemies of the repofe of Eu-
rope. have formed a union for the purpofe of dill
feminating the feeds of difcord and war. 1 he objets
of their ambition are different, but they are satiated
by the fame hatred againft France, becaufe they are
aware, that France cannot ceafe to oppofe the exe-
cution of their pernicious defigns. Inceffantly occu-
pied in railing up enemies againft her, they employ,
for this purpofe, every fpecies of artifice and in.
trigue, threats, careffes, corruption, calumnies, and'
while they themfelves are endeavouring to attack,.
opprefs, and fubjngate every thing, they accufe
France of fimilar intentions.
" England aims at poffeffing the exclufive naviga.
lion of the feas. She arrogates to herfelf the mono-
, poly of every delcription of commerce and ioduftry,
I and as often as the irrefiftible force of events com-
pels France to take poileffion of the (mall nrighbonr-
Mg fates, England gives the fignal of accufations and

valley, were forced to fubmit to her montirons pre-
ten ions, and with their own interefts, to facriflce
the} dearell interells of France? The independence of
thefe nations was in that inflame not merely threaten-
ed ; it was sanely attacked, violated, and, as far as
England was concerned, annihilated. To what par.
pole was it, that England was compelled to acknow-
ledge a few principles, of which neither her artifice
not her threats could procure the furtender. She im-
mediately after trod them under foot, or elmied
them. by availing herfelf in the moft tyrannical and
abfard manner, of the rights of blockade. According
to reafon, and exiting treaties, this right can only be
employed with refpe& to places which are inve fled or
in danger of being taken. She pretends to extend it
into bays, the mouths of rivers, whole lines of coal,
and, in (port, to a whole empire. Undoubtedly
France was never insetted, nor in danger of being
taken by England, yet the whole of France was
declared to be in a fate of blockade. While Eng-
land abed in this manner, does the not openly de-
clare, that the acknowledges no law—that treaties
have no confideration with her—that the recognizes
no other right than that of the frongetl, and the
regards every thing as jut} which the can do with
impunity ?
Whilft the Ruffian Government ought to have
been folcly occupied with the caro of vivifying her
immenfe territories, and, by the blellings of a wife
legiflation and a paternal authority, to expiate the
crime by which a nation, ancient, numerous, celebra-
ted, and worthy of a better fate, waslin one day pre.
cipitated from the rank of nations, the threatpled so
extinguifh the great and flourithing empire of the Ot-
tomans. The fame artifices which (he tiled againft
Poland, the is now employing. againft Turkey. She
excites in her provinces the (pith of (edition and in-
furretion. She intligates, arms, and fupport s the Ser.
vians againft the Porte. She renews the fame defigns
upon the Mores, which the attempted without (uccefs
in the year 5778. The Wallachians and Moldsvians
were governed bytwo perfidious and traitorous chiefs.
The Porte had proclaimed them ftich in a firman, and
depofed them. Not fati,fied with giving them an
afylnm, Rulfia ordered her troops to march towards
the Dneiller, and demanded their re-appoinment un-
der the menace of declaring war again ft the Porte.
The Porte had the mortification of finding herfelf
compelled to rellore to their places her declared ene.
mies, and to difmifs again thole whom (he had chofen
as their fucceffors. Thus has her independence been
violated by an attack which, at the fame time, 'bikes
at the dignity of all thrones. From the moment that
the Porte has no longer the choice of 'her own go-
vernors, the ceafes to be a fovereign power ;sae be
comes a Taira! ; or rather Wallachia and Moldavia
only belong to her nominally, and both of theft ex-
tenfive and rich provinces, governed by perfons in
the pay of Ruffia, have become a real conquef to the
latter.

of your Majelly has been unable to difarm—who,•
notwithtlar. ling your viaories, still true to their put'.
Ode, liften only to their paffions, and pay relpeet to
no rights whatever, your Majefty cannot follow the
dittates of your magnanimous feelings. Even your
