THE INDEMNITIES.

gaf, and Delivsred 10 the Diet on The
z6tb.
IS His royal and imperial majeay, has
been jait informed by the imperial cours
of Rufia, of the contents of the fubjoln-
ed declaration, which that court and the
French government intended to lay De-
fore the extraordinary deputation, con-
yened for the purpoie of regulating the
points which have not been fettled IN the
treaty of peace of the empire. His ma
lefty does NOT looie a moment TO give the
fub-delegate of Bohemia the inffruesions
which, in this unforeieen cafe, he judges
mott fit, in conformity with his iol'citudes
and cares conitantly directed to the good
of the empire. No reProach can be made
againit his majefty or the Gcrmanic EN-.
pire, founded upon the delay Of the meet
ing of the extraordinary deputation Of the
empire. More than nine months have
pafed Gnce the nomination of that depu-
tation has been notified on the part OF MS
imperial maislty and the empire to the
French government, and fnce that 60
vernnent has been invited to appoint pie
nipotentiaries to cooperate in It's name,
and declare lis opinion upon the t'tteit
time forthe meeting. So tar from con-
vening of the deputation being urged up
on the part of France, satisfactory an
iwer never has been given upon the iub-
jeet.
/" Neither has the ambafador of his
imperial royal majeRy been able 10 obtain
from the French governmen, to engage 10
preparatory negotiation, with the imps-
rial court, as had been promiied by that
government before and after the nomlna-
ton of the extraordinary deportation of
the empire. Very far from It, 4 has al
ways anfwered in an evafive and dilatery
manner TO the reiterated reqaetts made to
it verbal and written, on the part of the
imperial and royal court.
6 AS TO the new negotiation, proPof-
Cd, at the END of the lat year, by his ma
lefty the emperor Of Rudia, TO take place
in concert at Paris, his majefy has adher-
ed, in the mott friendly manner, to that
propoition; bnt notwithstanding thar,
his ambahador has neither been called to
that negotiation, nor been in any way IN
formed of its progress and refut. After
fuch proceedings his najeay thinks that
the meeting OF the deputies Of the empire,
whether more or lefs tagdy, cannot be well
founded motive to refrain the right which
the emperor and the empire, as principal,
contracting parties in the treaty of peace,
of Luneville, poGets, and have formally
referved to themielves, to Immediately treat
upon and regulate ths budnels of indem-
mites, as ALTO al the other points which
20 to the completion of the faid treaty OF
peace. His majefy, on the contrary, Is
perfectly aaurcd that the two powers aoove
mentioned, entertaining jnf relPca foE the
inviolable rights OF an independent fate,
fuch as is the Germanic body, will no,
diiavow in prateiss this 6ra and principal
attribution os inicpsadcnce. Thar Il may
be feen how we'll his maieay is founded IN
reckoning upon the jaitice Of the two pow
ers, he Will give TO the empire conioliog
explanation, by communicating to 1t the
official aflrance which was givea TO his
ambafalar 70 Paris, by M. Talieyrand,
miniaer for foreign affairs. Tbe follow
ing is word for void that aaurance as the
am5afi sdor has reported it; " You may
be alfred that we have only agreed with
RuiIis what proportions TO make to you.
We cannot even call this plsn. It is
but fmgle project, which we taoml, TO
the confederation of the diet, as tha means
which aprcateito Us the bea calculated to
fatisfy all parties as much as that is pofii-
BILE. 1t will be propossd as a council, and
By no means as a tone of authority, or
with an air OF q assfpoition 10 force the
thing.
{" He IS. confirmed, therefore, by this,
