choose a place of retreat for himself and family. The
Duke of Vicenza was directed to carry this proposal
to him. It has been dictated chiefly by the desire of
the Allied Powers to stop the effusion of blood, and
by the conviction, that if adopted by Napoleon, the
work of genera' peace, and thore-establishment of
the internal repose of France, would be but the work

DECLARATION OF THE ALLIED POWERe
ON TJJE BREAKING OFF OF TU NEGOCIATIONS AT

CHATILLON.

The Allied Powers owe it to themselves, to their
people, and to France, as *soon as the negotiations at
Chatillon are broken off, pultlicly to declare the rea.
sons which induced them to enter into negotiations
with the French Government, as well as the causes of
the breaking off of the negociations.
Military events, to which history can produce no
parallel, overthrew in the month of October last, the
ill.constucted edifice, known under the name of the
French Empire ; an edifice erected on the ruins of
States lately independent and happy : augmented by
conquests from ancient monarchies, and held together
at the expense of the blood, of the fortune, of the wet-

fare of a whole generation.
The Allied Sovereigns, led by conquest to the
Rhine, thought it their duty to proclaim to Europe
anew their principles, their wishes, and their object.
Far from every wish of domination or conquest, ani-
mated solely by the desire to see Europe restored to
a just balance of the different Powers, resolved not
to lay down their arms till they had obtained the noble
object of their efforts : they made known the irrevo-
cableness of their resolution by a public act, and they
did not hesitate to declare themselves to the enemy's
Government in a manner conformable to their unal

tertble determination.
The French Government made use of the frank de.
elaratians of the Allied Powers to express inclinations
to peace. It certainly had need of the appearance of
this inclination, in order to justify in the eyes of its
people the new exertions which ;t did not cease to re-
cpt;re. But every thing however convinced the Allied
Cabinets that it merely endeavoured to take advan-
tage of the appearance of a negotiation, in order to
prejudice public opinion in its favour, bpt that Ole
peace of Europe was very far from its thoughts.
The Powers penetrating its secret views, resolved
to go and conque.r in France itself the long desired

peace,
Numerous armies grossed the Rhine; scarcely were
they past the first frontiers, when the French Minister
for Foreign Affairs appeared at the out-posts,
All the proceedings of the French Government had
henceforth no other object than to mislead opinion, to
blind the French people, and to throw on the Allies
the odium of all the miseries attendant on an inva-
sion.
The course. of events had given the Allies a proof
of the lull power of the European league. The prin-
ciple, which since their first onion for the common
good, had animated the councils of the Allied Sove-
reigns, were fully developed, nothing more hindered
them from unfolding the conditions of the reconstruc-
tion of the common edifice ;' these conditions mast be
Such as were no hindrance to peace after so many con.'
quests.
The only power calculated to throw into the scale
indemnifications for France, England could speak
openly respecting the sacrifices which it was ready to
make for a general peace, The Allied Sovereigns
were permitted to hope that the experience of late
events would have had some influence on a conqueror
exposed to the obserbation of a great nation, which
was for the first time witness in the capital itself, to
the miseries he had brought on France.
This experience might have convinced that the sup-
port of thrones is principally dependant on modern-
don and probity.—The Allied Powers, however, con-
vinced that the trial which they made must not en-
danger the military operations, say that these opera-
tions must be continued during the negociations.—
The experience of the past and afflicting recollections
shewed them the necessity of this step. Their Pleni-
potentiaries met those of the French Government.
Meantime the victorious armies approached the
gates of the capital. The Government took every
measure to prevent its falling into an enemy's 11:Ands.
The Plenipotentiaries of France received orders to
propose an armistice, upon conditions which were con-
formable to those which the Allies themselves judged
necessary for the restoration of a general peace. He
offered the immediate surrender of the fortresses in
the countries which France was to give up, all on con.
dition of a suspension of military operations.
The Allied Courts, convinced by 20 years experi-
ence, that in negociations with the French Cabinet,
it was necessary carefully to distinguish the apparent
from the real intention, proposed, instead of this, im-
mediately to sign preliminaries of peace. This mea-
sure would have had for France all the advantages of
an armistice, without exposing the Allies to the dan-
ger of a suspension of arms. Some partial advantages,
however, accompanied the first motions of an -army
collected under the walls of Paris, composed of the
flower of the present generation, the last hope of the
nation, and the remainder of a million of warriors,
whp'either fallen on the field of battle, or left on the
way from Lisbon to Moscow, have been sacrificed, for
interests with which France had no concern. Imme-
diately the negociations at Chatillon assumed another
appearanee. The French Plenipotentiary remained
without iOstructions, and was away instead of
answering the Representatives of the Allied Courts.
They commissioned their Plenipotentiaries to give
in the projet of a preliminary treaty, containing all the
gronnds which they deemed necessary for the restora-
tion of a balance of power, and which a few days be-
fore had been presented by the French Government
itself at a moment doubtless when it conceived its ex.
istence in danger. It contained the ground-work for
the restoration of Europe.
France restored to the frontiers. which under the
Government of its Kings had insured to it ages of
glory and prosperity, was to have with the rest of
Europe, the blessings of liberty, national indepen-
dence, and peace. It depended absolutely on its
Government to end by a single wprd the sufferings
of the nation, to restore to it with peace, its colonies,
its trade, and the restitution of its industry. What
did it want more ? Tile Allies had offered, with a
spirit of pacification, to discuss its wishes upon the
subject of mutual convenience, which should extend
the frontiers of France beyond' what they were before
the wars of the revolution.
Fourteen days elapsed without any answeebeing
returned by die French Government.'
"Pie Plenipotentiasics of the Alliet pp the

fixing of a day for the acceptance or rejection of the
conditions of peace. They left the French Plenipo-
tentiary the liberty to present a emir: projet, on condi-
tion that this centre projet should agree in spirit and its
general conteuts with the conditions proposed by the
Allied Courts. The 10th of March was fixed by the
mutual consent of both parties. This term being
arrived, the French Plenipotentiary produced nothing
but pieces, the discussion of which, far from advanc-
ing the proposed object. could only have caused
fruitless negociations. A delay of a few days was
grained at the desire of the French Plenipotentiary.
Op the 15th of March, he at last delivered a ontre
projet, which left no doubt that the sufferings of
France had not yet changed the views of its Go.
vernment.
The French Government receding from what it,
had itself proposed, demanded in a new projet that
nations which were quite foreign to France, which a
domination of
,many ages could not be amalgamated
with the French nation, should now remain a part of
it; that france should retain frontiers 'inconsistent
with the fundamental principles of equilibrium, and
out of all proportion with the other great Powers of
' Europe, that it should remain master of the same
positions and points of aggression lay meo;:s of which'
its Gpverntnent, tq the m4fortune of Europe and
that of France, had effected the fall of so many
thrones, and so many revolutions, that members of the
family reigning in France should be I:lewd on fore;gn
thrones; toe French Government in short, that Q.
vernment which for so many years has sought to rule
no less by discord than by ferce of arms, was to re-
main the usbiter of the_exteroal concerns of the powers
of Europe.
By continuing the Degociations under such circum-
stauces, the Allies would have neglected what they
owed to themselves ; they would trom that moment
have deviated from the glorious goal they had before
them. their efforts would have been turned solely
against their people.
By signing a treaty upon the principles of the
French projet, the Allies would have laid their arms
in the hands of the common enemy, they would have
betrayed the ez:pectation of nations, and the confi-
dence of their Allies.
It is in a moment so decisive for the welfare of the
world that the Si.vereigns renew the so4i.ernii
engagement, till they shall h lee attained the great
objt•ct of their union, France ha.; to blame its Go-
vernment alone for its sufFeringc. Peace alone can
heal flu; wound Nvhich a spirit of universal domina-
tion, unexampled in history, has produced. This prate
skall be the peace of Europe—no other can be accepted.
It is at length time that Princes should watch over
the welfare of the people without foreign influence,
that nations should respect their mutual indepen-
dence, that social institutions should be protected
-tom daily revolutions, property respected, and trade
_ _

All Europe has absolutely the same wish to make
Frame participate in the blessings of peace. France
whose dismemberment the Allied Powers neither can
nor will permit. The confidence in their promises
may be found in the principles for which they contend,
But whence shall the Sovereigns infer that France
will take part in the principles that must fix the hap-
piness of the world, so long as they see that the same
ambition which has brought so many misfortunes on
Europe is still the sole spring that actuates the Co-
' vernment ; that while French blood is shed in tor-
rents, the general interest. is always sacrificed to pri-
vate : whence, under such circumstances, should be
the guarantee for the future, if such a desolating sys
tem tOtind no check in the general will of the nation ?
Then is the peace of Europe insured, and nothing
shall in future be able to disturb it.
