internal tranquillity of Trance, nee le impeachment
of what was due, in good faith, to the assurance given
under the exigency of the moment, by Russia.
The Prince of Benevent admitted the weight of
many of the objections stated; but declared he did
consider it, on the part of the Provisional Govern-
ment, as an object of the first importance, to avoid
any thing that might assume the character of a civil
war, even for the shortest time—that he also found
some such measure essential to make the army pass
over in a temper to be made use of. Upon these de-
clarations, and the Count de Nesselrode's, that the
Emperor, his master, had felt it necessary, in the ab-
sence of the Allies, to act far the best in their name
as well as his own, I withdrew any further opposi-
tion to the principle of the measure, suggesting only
some alterations in the details. I desired, however,
to decline, on the part of my Government, being
more than an acceding party to the Treaty, and
declared that the Act of Accession on the part
of Great Britain shoold not go beyond the territorial
arrangements proposed in the Treaty. My objec-
tions to our being unnecessarily mixed in its forms,
especially in the recognition of Napoleon's title under
present circumstances, were considered as perfectly
reasonable, and I now enclose the Protocol and Note,
which will explain the extent to which I have taken
upon me to give assurances on the part of my Court.
At my suggestion the recognition of the Imperial
titles in the Family were limited to their respective
lives, for which there was a precedent iu the case of
the King of Poland, when he became Elector of
Saxony.
To the arrangement in favour of the Empress, I
felt not only no objection, but considered it due to
the distinguished sacrifice of domestic feelings which
the Emperor of Austria was making to the cause of
Europe. I should have wished to substitute another
position in lieu of Elba for the seat of Napoleon's re-
tirement, but none having the quality of security, on
which he insisted, seemed disposable, to which equal
objections did not occur ; and I did not feel that I
could encourage the alternative, which M. De Cau-
laincourt assured me Bonaparte repeatedly mention-
ed, namely, an asylum in England.
On the same night the Allied Ministers had a con-
ference with M. De Caulaincourt and the Marshals,
at which I assisted. The Treaty was gone through
and agreed to with alterations ; it has been since
signed and ratified, and Bonaparte will commence
his movement towards the South to-morrow, or the
day following. (Signed) CASTLEREAGII.
