RUSSIA AND SPAIN.

ANSWER OP COUNT NESSELRODR TO THE
UNITED STATES' MINISTER.

The undersigned Secretary of State, directing the
imperial administration of foreign affairs, hastened to
submit to the Emperor the note with which Mr. Mid•
&non, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipdten.
tiary of the United States of America, did the honour
to address him on the 2d of July last, accompanying , a
copy of the dispatch from Mr. Clay, in which that Mi-
nister, in the name of the Cabinet at Washington, urges
the necessity of confirming the general peace, by ter-
minating the contest of the Spanish Colonies against
the Government of hit Catholic MAjesty; of securing to
Spain the peaceful possession of the island of Cuba and
Porto Rico; and of effecting these objects by the im-
partial intervention of Russia.

The principles of the Emperor were sufficiently known
to the Government of the United States to justify the
perfect confidence that, in expressing a wish for the
continuance and confirmation of the peace enjoyed by
the world, it did but represent the most sincere desire of
his Imperial Majesty ; that,' in professing a generous •
solicitude for the rights of Spain over her islands in the'
West Indies, it avowed principles that had long since
been adopted Isy Russia as the basis of her poli,icsl -
system ; and that, in anticipating perfect impartiality
and true disinterevedness from her intervention, it was
not deceived as to the sentiments) of the Emperor, in
relation to all arrangements in which foreign Powers
might be ?leased to ealnhav or admit his good offices.
•His Imperial Majesty felicitates-himself with having
inspired this confidence in the United States of America,
and the undersigned is charged- to invite Mr. Middle.
ton to convey to his Government the assurance of the
high value at which the Emperor estimates those semi-
meats, of which new evidence is furnished by its matt
proposition.
The opinions of his Imperial Majesty as to the ques-
tion discussed bj Mr. Clay, in his despatch, cannot. be
concealed from the Cabinet of Washington. His Ins.
perial Majesty hakever thought that justice, the law of
nations, and the general interest in having the indis-
putable titles of sovereignty respected, could not allow
the determinations of the mother country, in this im-
portant case, to be prejudged' r anticipated. On the
other side, whenever Spain has wished to discuss the
future condition of South America, she has addressed
overtures to all the Allied Powers of Europe. It will
not be possible, therefore, for his Imperial Majesty to
change principles in this negociation, nor to institute it
separately (iatmeal); and until positive information
has been received of the ulterior views of Spain, in re-
gard to her American possessions, of her decision upon
the proposition of the United States, and of the opinions
of her allies in relation to the same subject, Russia
cannot give a definite answer. _
She is, however' in the meanwhile, pleased to hope,
that the United States, becoming every day more con-
vinced of the evils and dangers that would result to
Cuba and Porto Rico from a change of Government,
being satisfied, as Mr. Clay has said in his dispatch,
with the present commercial legislation of these two
islands, and deriving an additional motive of security
from the honourable resolution of Spain not to grant to
them any longer letters of marque,will use their influence
in defeating,. as far as miy be in their power, every
enterprise against these islands, in securing to the rights
of his Catholic Majesty constant and proper respect, in
maintaining the only state of things that can preserve
a just balance of power in the sea of the Antilles, prevent
shocking examples, and, as the Cabinet of Washington
has remarked, secure' to the general peace salutary
guarantees. •
The undersigned seises with pleasure this occasion to repel;,
Mr. Middleton the aseuranees of his very &demobbed elosidere,.
