STATE P4PERS.

LAYBACH, MAY 12.

At themoment ;when the Congress separated the
.following Document was published, in the name of
the Courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia:

DECLARATION.

" Europe is acquainted with the motives of the
resolution taken by the Allied Sovereigns to sup-
press conspiracies, and to terminate disorders which
menaced the existence of that general peace, the
establishment of which had.cost so many efforts and
so many sacrifices.
66 At the very moment when their generous objects
were accomplished in the kingdom of Naples, a re-
bellion of a still more odious character, if possible,
burst forth in Piedmont.

" Neither the ties which had, for so many genera-
tions, united the reigning House of Savoy with the.
People, nor the benefits of an enlightened Govern-
ment, administered by a wise Prince, and under
paternal laws, nor the sad prospect of calamities to
which the country was exposed, could restrain the
disaffected from their designs.
g 4 The plan of a general subversion was prepared.
In this combination against the repose of Nations,
the conspirators of Piedmont had their part assigned
them. They were eager to perform it.
el The Throne and the State were betrayed—oaths
were violated—military honour tarnished—and the
contempt of every duty soon produced the scourge
of every disorder.
" Everywhere the pestilence exhibited the same
character :—everywhere one uniform spirit directed
these fatal Revolutions. _ _ _

Not being able to assign plausible motives in their
justification, nor to obtain national support to main-
tain them, it was in false doctrines that these con-
trivers
of anarchy sought an apology : they founded,
upon criminal associations, a still more criminal hope.
In their eyes, the salutary supremacy of the laws was
a yoke which must be destroyed. They renounced
those sentiments which are inspired by a true love of
one's country, and substituting for known duties,
arbitrary and undefined pretences for a universal
chanze in the constituent principles of society, they
pielmred endless disasters for the world.
" The Allied Sovereigns saw the dangers of this
conspiracy in all their full extent, but they had also
discovered the real weakness of the conspirators, in
spite of their veil of declamation and deceit. Expe-
rience has verified their anticipations. The resistance
which legitimate authority has encountered has been
useless, and clime has disappeared at the sight of
the sword of justice.
" It is not to accidental causes—it is not even to
the conduct of men who behaved ~.cs ill in the hour of
b rule—that this easy success should be attributed.
It. has resulted from a more consolatory principle—
from one more worthy of attention.

PROVIDENCE struck with terror the consciences
of men so guilty ; and the censure of the Public,
whose fate was compromised by these artificers of
mischief; caused the arms to fall from their hands.

Solely employed to contend with, and to put
down rehellion, the Allied forces, far from pursuing
any exclusive interests, have arrived to the aid of the
People whu are subjugated ; and the People them-
s;:lves have regarded the employment of those troops
as a support in favour of their liberty, not as an ag-
gression upon their independence. From that mo-
ment the war ceased—from that moment the States
which revolution had assailed, became the friendly
States of those Powers which never wished anything
but their tranquillity and their prosperity.

. . .
" In the midst of these grave occurrences, and in
a situation thus delicate, the Allied Sovereigns, in
concert with the King of the Two Sicilies, and the
King of Sardinia, have judged it indispensable to
adopt temporary measures of precaution, indicated
by prudence, and called for by the general good.—
Tue troops, whose ciesence was necessary for
the restoration of order have been placed in suitable
positions, solely for the purpose of protecting the free
exercise of legitimate authority, and to assist it in
preparing, uuder this r gis, those benefits which may
efface every vestige of such portentous misfortune.
"the justice and disinterestedness which have
prevailed in the deliberations of the Allied Monarchs,
will always-continue to regulate their policy. In fu-
tuie, as during the past, they will ever prescribe to
themselves the pre,ervation of the independence,
and of the rights of each State, and as they are re-
cognized and defined by existing. Treaties. The
issue, even of such an alarming crisis, will, under
the auspices of PROVIDENCE, become the consolida-
tion of that peace which the enemies of the People
attempted to destroy, and the stability of. an order
of things which will secure to nations their repose
and prosperity.
" Filled with these sentiments, the Allied Sove-
reigns, in terminating the conferences at Lavbach,
have wished to announce to the world the principles
by w Nell they have been animated. They are deter-
mined never to abandon them ; and all the friends of
order will constantly see and find in their union, a
sure safeguard against the enterprises of anarchy.
" It is fur this purpose that their Imperial and Royal
Majesties have ordered their Ministers Plenipotentiary
to sign alai publish the present Declaration.

CIRCULAR FROM COUNT NESSELRODE.
FRANKFORT, MAY 5.2.

We have good grounds for believing in the au-
thenticity of a Circular Dispatch, addressed from
Laybach to the Legations of his Majesty the Em-
peror of all the Russias, at Foreign Courts ; and we
communicate with confidence, this interesting docu-
ment to' our Readers:

" Sin-It is now precisely a year since we found
ourselves under the necessity of making known the
principles which the Emperor had resolved to fol-
low, with respect to States, which, to the calamity of
experiencing a criminal and violent Revolution, should
add that of sanctioning its fatal consequences.
,4 Since that period, and from the date of the open-
ing of the conferences at Troppau and Laybach, our
successive communications must have demonstrated
to all the Ministers and Agents of the Emperor at
Foreign Courts, not only that the principles of his

Imperial Majesty would not vary, but further, that
our august Master would be always ready to con-
cur, by all the means in his power, in the success of
the measures which he had agreed upon with his.
Allies, in the general interest for the repose of Europe.
" By our Circular of the 27th of February (11th
of March), we informed you that, in consequence of
the determinations entered into upon this point by
his Imperial Majesty, he had decided to prolong his
stay near his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty,
notwithstanding the close of the Congress at Laybach.
" Our dispatches of the Bth (20th) of March, very
soon shewed to you that the foresight of the Em-
peror had been too ccmpletely justified ; and that,
faithful to his promises, Russia, at the request of
Austria, and the legitimate Sovereign of the king-
dom of Sardinia, had marched an army of 100,000
men, in order to avert the calamitous and too proba-
ble effects of the military revolt which had just
broken out in Piedmont.

" Auspicious events have succeeded those which
the artificers of troubles and of discord provoked.
Everything authorises us to hope that order will be
effectually re-established in the States of his Sardi-
nian Majesty. The Royal Government there has
availed itself of the proximity of the Lombardo-Ve-
netian kingdom ; and it is the temporary assistance
of a Corps of Occupation, composed of Austrian
troops, which it has required to restore to Piedmont
the enjoyment of an internal, secure, and solid peace.
" All our wishes seek this great and salutary re-
sult; but as the measure of safety which it requires,
and which the Sardinian Government itself has soli-
cited, is about to become the object of a direct ar-
rangement between Sardinia and Austria, under the
guarantee of the Allied Courts : and as the presence
of our troops would be henceforth useless, the order
to retrograde has already been dispatched to them.
On the other hand, the more the resolution to make
them operative was energetic, the more salutary and
useful has been the impression produced solely by
the intelligence that they were in movement, and the
more essential is it in the eyes of the Emperor that all
the Cabinets of Europe should know and appreciate
the serious considerations which induced his Imperial
Majesty to have recourse to arms, and the noble and
pure intentions which would always have directed the
employment of them.
" The experience of all ages and countries warn
nations of the calamities which form the inevitable
train of crime and rebellion. But last year these
great and eternal lessons were contemned. Catas-
trophes succeeded each other with an appalling ra-
pidity. Naples demonstrably evinced the dangers
of pernicious example. Become herself the dream
of Revolution, and the centre of the activity of sects,
this State menaced Italy with a general conflagra-
tion ; and Austria, seeing a portion of her provinces
exposed to imminent peril, claimed, in the first place,
the moral support of her Allies. The sincere friend
of his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty, and
convinced, like that august Monarch, of the evils
which would once mote inundate the world, if the
disregard of all duties should obtain the apology of
a lasting triumph, the Emperor espoused, with sin-
cerity, a cause which his conscience told him was
that of Europe, of Laws, and of Treaties. He did
more. As an intimate union has been established,
by solemn acts, between the European Powers, the
Emperor offered to his Allies the aid of his arms, in
case new commotions should excite the dread of
new dangers.
" We hate already seen how the anticipations of
his Imperial Majesty have been verified. Sectarians,
acting in the darkness which they so much needed
to veil their guilty projects, excited in Piedmont au
insurrection which might, by its consequences, retard
'the progress of good in the Two Sicilics, and, by
comprornisirs, the Army which was then advancing
upon Naples, encourage revolt throughout the whole
Peninsula. Already alarming symptoms justified
disquietude for other countries ; and from that mo-
ment the Russian troops were bound to match. They,
in fact, did march, not to even:: the pox er of Russia,
or to make the slightest infringement upon the bounds
rof territorial possession, guaranteed to all the Govern-
ments of Europe, by the Ti eaties concluded since 1814,
but to succour, the Allies of the Emperor; and this,
as we have said above, at the express solicitations of
his Imperial, Royal and Apostolic Majesty, and of his
Royal Highness the Duke de Genevois. They marched,
not to overthrow institutions which have emanated
from legitimate authority, but to prevent insurrection
from usurping a power which would be a universal
scourge. Finally, they marched, not to obstruct the
developement of public prosperity, in any State what-
ever, but to further the re-establishment of order in
countries where the workings of evil men had ulti-
mately rendered the assistance of a foreign force
indispensable.
" Such ha. been, such will always be, the sole in-
tention of the Emperor, should he ever find himself
again under the necessity of putting his Armies in
motion. No burden would have resulted from their
march, or from their temporary presence. They
would have traversed peaceably the immense space
which separated them from Italy : and as soon as the
object was attained, for which two Monarchs solicited
their aid, the Emperor would have issued his orders
for them to return to their country.
" We are justified, therefore, in repeating and
affirming, that never did the love of war, never the
ambitious thought of exercising an exclusive influence
in the Councils of other Monarchs, or upon the desti-
uies of people confided by PROVIDENCE to their care,
direct the policy of his Imperial Majesty.
" Irrefragable facts now attest the sincerity of
this language.
" Malevolence ascribed to Russia hostile views
I with regard to the Porte. Disturbances manifested
themselves in Wallachia and Moldavia; and our con-
duct, as well as our declarations, have shewn that we
are determined to observe the rights of Nations and
the faith of Treaties, in our relations with the Turk-
lish Government.

" They were pleased, afterwards, to insinuate, that
we had abandoned our projects against Turkey, to
invade the western territories of Europe. A signal
contradiction has confounded the authors of those
odious accusations; and the march of our Armies,
supported and maintained by all the strength of the
Empire, has been stopped, the moment we were cer-
tainly assured the legitimate Government had reco-
vered the plenitude of its authority in the kingdom
of Sardinia.

44 Thus, Sir, it is with the confidence of having

fulfilled the duties of a friend and of an ally—it is'
with the determination of always fulfilling those du-
ties, and the consoling persuasion of having contri-
buted to the tranquillity of Italy, and of Europe, that
the Emperor is about to quit Laybach.
" He will set off on the Ist (13th) of May, and
will proceed to St. Petersburgh, by way of Warsaw,
happy to lend his assistance to his Allies, if it shciuld
become necessary—more happy still to enjoy for a
' long future the spectacle of a peace, the blessings of
which Russia feels, and in the maintenance and
consolidation of which she is interested as much as
any other Power.
The political system of our august Master not'
being destined to undergo any change, all his Ministers
and Agents will continue to follow and to execute the
general instructions which they have hitherto received.
" The present Circular will regulate their language
with respect to the events of which it treats, and the
Emperor even authorises you, Sir, to make known,
and deliver a copy of it to the Government to which
you are accredited, Sc. (Signed)
" NF.SSELRODE.
" Laybach, 28th April (10th of May), 1821." _

It is asserted, that Austria also expedited, on the
same day, a Circular of similar tenour to all its Di-
plomatic Agents at Foreign Courts.

FRANCE.

PRIVATE LETTER.
" PARIS, MAY 26.

gg It is generally understood that M. de Chateau-
briand is not to return to Berlin: he will, it is confi-
dently stated, be entrusted with the Embassy in Lon-
don, vacant by the resignation of the Duke de Cazes.
This latter personage, by the bye, is as much forgotten
as if he had never existed.

" Changes are spoken of in the Ministry. Latour
Maubourg, the War Minister, is expected to resign,
and to accept the office of Gouverneur des Invalid. s ;
General Bourdesoult, it is said, will take his place.
" Count Angles, the Prefect of Police, is to be
dismissed ; and Simeon, on the plea of bad health,
is to give in his resignation, and, as a reward for his
compliance, he is to be created a Peer, and to have
a pension. The Duke de Richelieu wishes M. de
Villele to supply the intended vacancy ; but this pre-
cise and obstinate politician has, it is said, given a
positive refusal to become Minister of the Interior,
except on condition of the previous dismissal of Ba-
ron Moonier, Director-General of the Police, and
Baron Cairene, Secretary-General of the department,
the first of whom was appointed by De Cazes, and
the latter by Simeon.
" It is reported that two duels are to take place
to-day between Messrs. Dubot-deru and Duplessis,
Members of the right side, and Generals Lamarque
and Laborde, Deputies of the left.
" I may mention to you, as a curious fact con-
nected with the impudent assumption of power on
the part of the Censors, that the sentence of the Royal
Court, which rescinded the judgment obtained by
the Censors in an inferior Court, against the highly-
respectable Editor of the Journal des Debuts, gave
great offence to these Jacks-in-office. The higher
Court had summoned four of them as witnesses, and
had not paid much respect to their testimony. Their
pride was so shocked at this contemptuous treat-
ment, that they absolutely mutilated the sentence of
the Court, and would not allow that part of it to
appear which stated that four of their august Body
had been summoned to give testimony!
" In one of the Papers of this day it is mentioned,
in a letter from Constantinople, that the venerable
' Greek Patriarch, who is seventy-two years of age,
had been hanged before the gates of his own church,
and that this execution has caused the utmost dis-
may and disgust, especially as the species of death
resorted to is the one most detested in Turkey.
" It happened to come to my knowledge that the
following remarks, which were inserted in the letter,
were not allowed to be inserted in the Jourrial—so
tender are those Censors of the grand monarchical
principle, which.they conceive is now in the keeping
of that legitimate Sovereign, the Grand Turk :

" The Turkish Government would not have been bold
enough to inflict such a punishment, if they had not been ap-
prized that none of the Ministers of the Grand Puissances (mem-
bers of the lioly League) took any interest in the Patriarch, as
had been the case in former times, when Christians were perse-
cuted. The Russian Minister had indeed interposed his inter-
cession for the Chief of the Greek Church; but the monarchi-
cal principle which now prevails in Europe does not allow such
an intercession. The Greeks are regarded as rebels against the
legitimate Sovereign. Mercantile letters from Varsovia, how-
ever, say, that the public opinion in Russia declares itself strongly
I in favour of the Greeks, en account of the common religion."'

Intelligence has been received, by the way of
I.aybach, of a great number of Greeks having been
put to death at Constantinople. The Turkish popu-
lace has been guilty of the greatest excesses. Even
the Foreign Ambassadors, who reside in the suburb
of Pera, have, it is said, entertained alarms for their
safety. It is stated, that the anathema against Ypsi-
lanti and Suzzo, which has been inserted at full
length in the Austrian Observer, is signed by twenty-
two Bishops of the Greek Church, in Europe and
Asia ; but if the Porte assembled so many Prelates,
it was probably rather for the purpose of keeping
them as hostages, than for massacring them.

,c Death has put an end to the career of Prince
Charles of Hesse-Rothenburg, better known in France
by the name of Charles-Hesse. He lived for 16 years
in profound retirement at Frankfort, where he was
struck with apoplexy on the Ist of May. This Re-
publican Prince was for a long time one of the Edi-
tots of The Journal des Hommes Libres, in which his
articles were signed Fiat Lux.
Letters from Schwerin; of the 9th May, announce
the death of his Royal Highness the Duke Adolphus
Frederick of Mecklenburg, on the Bth, youngest son
of the reigning Grand Duke, aged thirty-six."
