THE PLENIPOTENTLARIFA OF FRANCE.

Prague, August 9, 1513.
The undersigned Minister of State And for Foreign
' Affairs to his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty,
Plenipotentiary !tom the mediating Court, at the
, same time that he discharges himself of the commu-
nication of the official paper, dated 7th, from the
Plenipotentiaries of Russia and Prussia, thinks it his
duty to reply. on his part to the Not! which their
Excellencies the Duke of Vicenza and the Count de
Narbonne, 'Plenipotentiaries ft, m his Majesty the
Emperor of the french, King of Italy, did him the
honour to address to him the day before yesterday.
As a Negotiator of the Convention of the 30th
June, he never cons2nted to the two points anterior
to the signature of the act of which mention is made
in their Excellencies' Note. To demonstrate the
error which has dictated this assertion, it will be suf-
ficient to assure that it would have been contrary to
the dignity of his august Court to enter into an en-
gagement of being impartial, as that of not binding
itself by any Convt tion, even eventual, during the
negotiation; and the parts of Mediator and Arbitra-
tor are too widely different for Austria, in charging
itself with the former with the consent of the Powers
interested, ever to think of arrogating to herself the
attributes of the other.

Neither can the undersigned admit that he has de-
tained his Excellency tlie Duke of Bassano, by the
form of the conferences to be adopted in the negocia-
tion. The particular attention which the two Courts
of Russia and Prussia might, with regard to their
political attitude, find themselves inclined to observe,
relative to the choice of that form of negociation, has
in truth been the subject of several conversations be-
tween the undersigned and his Excetlency the Duke
of Bassano; but the forms of a negociation could not
be unilaterally regulated by the 'Mediator and one of
the Powers concerned in the negociation, to the exclu-
sion of the other parties ; and the arrival of the
French Plenipotentiaries having experienced some
delays, the mode of negociation was touched upon
by Count de Bubna, by virtue of orders which were
addressed to him under date of the 17th July, and
the conferences in this respect did not lead to any
result.

The undersigned formally protests against the as-
sertion, that the pretended concert established on this
subject, was caused by the manifestation of the inten-
tion of Russia to open the negociations, with a view
of compromising Austria. His Majesty the Empe.
ror would not have charged himself with the media-
tion between the Belligerent Powcrs, if he had not had
confidence in their reciprocal good faith, and his pc-
netration could no more be taken by surprise, than
his impartial sincerity.
The form of negociation proposed to their Excel-
lencies, the Plenipotentiaries of France, could not have
been unforeseen, as they being specified in the over-
tures made in this respect by Count de Bubnaj and
they are so far from being unusual in similar transac-
tions, that they were adwitted as the basis of the ne-
goci.uions Teschen acted in support of the propo-
sal made by the nndersigned. The reasons which
engaged him to prefer them at that time, still subsist,
and he renews his invitation to their Excellencies to
adhere to them oa their part.
(Signed) The Count de MErmuncii.

MUNICH, OCTOBER a.

Sinte the retreat of the Austrian troops from the
Tyrol, very detailed reports have been received from
Brizen. That town was only occupied by a few
troops, composed of Austrian light troops, and about
100 soi distant Tyrolean chasseurs, but who were
nothing more than a collection of deserters and re-
fractory
conscripts', commanded by one called Eisen-
steken, of Botzen ; some vagabocds and bad subjects
Of the country joined them. Eisensteken wished to
organize an insurrection in the Tyrol, but his projects
failed, and every Where, from the Pusterthal to Star-
' zing, at the foot of Mount Brenner, to which he had
advanced, the landholders, the inhabitants of consi-
deration, and the clergy, employed their influence to
maintain tranquillity. Under the Military Report,
the high deeds of the enemy were confined to the
taking of the ruined fart of Mulbach. Troops be-
longing to the Italian division of General Bonsanti,
'have occupied the greater part of the Pusterthal, and
are marching upon Leintz. AU the Bavarian Tyrol
is very tranquil ; it is ,the same with all the other
Circles of our kingdom.
