• Dresdendtme i;
The underiigned received orders to again proceed
to his Imperial Majesty of France, to give an account
of the new overtures of peace which the Cabinet of
Vienna hastened to make to the belligerent powers.
It was with real satisfaction his Majesty the Em-
peror and Apostolic King was informed by the return
of the undersigned to Vienna, of the pacific disposi-
tions evinced by his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon.
The mediation of Austria having beets accepted by
the Courts of Russia and Prussia, his Imisenal Ma-
iedot Austria will hasten usioavey to the knows
ditire of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, the
basis of the pacification laid dawn by those powers ;
sad he has charged the undersigned to express a wish
to be in like manner informed of the basis which his
Imperial Majesty of France would lay down, as most
beneficial to the said allied Courts.
In order not to leave any doubt on the menet in
which the Court of Vienna views the object of a Coo.
tinental Peace,' as connected with a General Peace. the
undentigned will observe, that the Aukian Cabinet
directs all its wishes to obtain by its cares a pacifica.
Lion that will ensure the future relations of all Euro.
pears Powers ; but that it believes, under existing cir.
cums.ances, that it will find the most certain means
of nbtaining thar, by confining its views, for the pre-
sent, to a Continental arrangement, which Would fa-
cilitate or prepare a maritime peace.
His Imperial Majesty, setting a great value on ao.
telerating, as much as possible, the conclusion of so
salutary a work, the undersigned begs his Excellency
the Duke Bassano to have the goodness to convey,
as soon as possible. the present official note to the
knowledge of the Emperor of the French, and like. •
wise to enable him to inform his Court of his Impe.-
red Majesty's reply. (Signed) Count BUBNA.
NO. 7.--. NOTE FILOM THE DEICE OF RAMAN° TO COUNT
DR METTERNICH.
The undersigned, Minister for Foreign Affairs for •
his Majesty the Emperor and King, has received or-
ders to send the present note to his Excellency Count
de Metternich, Minister of State Conferences and Fo-
reign Affairs to his Majesty the Emperor of Auuria.
The treaty of alliance concluded at Paris .on
24th of March, 1814 stipulates, Art. 3d. paragraph
2d, the obligation for the two Powers to mutually
'assist each other, in the event that the one or the
other should be *muted or threatened. Ailiele
fired the succours stipulated LT Art. 3 at 3;000 men,
of whom 21,000 should he infantry and 6000 cavalry.
The separate and secret articles signed at the same
time applied the treaty of alliance to the actually ex.
isting case of the war between France and Russia.
Oa the ‘leth of April last, Count de Metternich
transmitted to his Majesty's Ambassador a note, by
which-he declared, that his Majesty the Emperor of
Austria could no longer fulfil the dispositions of Ar-
ticles 2 and 4, comprehended in'the secret articles an.
vexed to the treaty at alliance, and considered as nett
being applicable to the present conjuncture; conse.
gnently Austria withdrew the auxiliary assistance sti.
pulated by the said treaty.
His Majesty must have been mete sensibly touched
with this change, operated at the moment when the
eimpaign was going to open, as the Prince of
Schwartzenberg, before leaving Paris, had reiterated
to him the assurance that he might depend upt a it,
that the auxiliary army would not cease being under
his orders.
However, his Majesty the Emperor and King re.
eeived, to render this unexpected determination less
painful to him, the as'urance.at the same time given
by Count de Metternich, ss that it should not be consi-
dered as an abandonment of the alliance ;" and the
declaration m ide by .the Prince of Schwartzenberg,
transmitted to the undersigned on the 22d of April,
that os nothing was prejudged respecting the basis of
the alliance with Vrance ; and that if the Empetor
Francis found a word to change in tht•se bases, he
would be the first to mention it. This Ambassador
added, ie That they could ,"spend, by common con-
sent, the restrictions laid down according to the text
of the treaty, in regard to the military relations of
Austria." Count de Metternich has not since ceased,
on his part, manifesting to his Majesty's Ambassador
the intention of the Court of Vienna, in ienoencing
some of the dispositions of the secret articles, sei sub.
scribe to others more suitable to circumstances.
Such was the state of things when M. de Bubna
presented himself' at Dresden, on the 16th of May,
to his Imperial Majesty and King. He gave him to
understand, that it was necessary that he, or some
other person, should be furnished with full powers to
negotiate, conclude, and sign new secret stipulations,
without which it would be in vain to attempt to dis-
semble that the treaty of Paris would be annulled.
Count de Bubna returned to his Majesty's Head.
quarters on the 30th of May, and 'affirmed, M That
his Court was disposed to pau an act, which, in este-
Wishing the treaty of Paris,' would contain a reserve
upon the stipulations which should not be found ap-
plicable to circumstances."
But when the undersigned asked him, whether he
was authorised to negotiate such a supplementary
convention ? he replied, that he had no instructious
to that effect. Count de Bubna set out on the ash
inst. to return to his ("nun. He came back to Dresden
on the 10th ; and upon demanding of him what had
had been done ? he declared himself without authority
and without powers.
The question was, however, the more intportant to
be decided, as it was intimately connected with that
of the mediation.
His Majesty had told Count de Baku, that he saw
