have any subject of complaint against the young Klee, who
will mot for a !nog time to come reign himself. His mother,
to whom the Regency appertains by the Constitution, will do
every thing that shall be agreeable, to the EMPEROR, my
brother, and will succeed better than Myself, who have had
the misfortune never tube successful ici my endeavours of that
kind. And at the conclusion of a maritime peace, perhaps
befipre, toy brother, tnowing the state of things in ,hie coat-
try, the esteem its inbabitauts merit, how mach their welfare
accords with the interests well understood of his Empire, will
do for this country all it has; right to expect asthe reward of
its numerous saeriteet to France, of its fidelity and of the•in-
