The following Declaration was tranf-
mitred to the Diet, at its lsft Sitting.
E.saaR from tbe ASl;c Rs/e,ipt ,xftived
BY TIE Electoral S2b- Delegate Of Bob<-
mia, The zotb Of Augyf.
Is His Imperial and Royal Majefy
having been informed, by the Imperial
Court of Ruilia only, Of the contents of
the Declaration which that Court and
the French Government intend to tranimit
to the Extraordinary Deprivation, 'conyok-
ed for the purpofe Of regulating the objects
which have been marked out by the Trea-
ty of peace of the Empire, His MajeRy
does not delay moment to give to the
Sub delegate of Bohemia, thofe inisruc-
tons, which in this unforefeen cafe he
Judges mott adylfable, IN conformity with
bis conaant fol!citude for the good of the
Empire.
I" II cannot be matter Of reproach to-
His Imperial majefy, or the Germanic
Body, that the attending of the extraor.
binary Deputation of the empire has been
delayed. More than nine months have
pafed iince the nomination of that depu-
tstion was notified, on the part OF his I'm
perial MajeRy and the Empire, TO the
French Government, which was invited
to tend its plenipotentiagles, and to mani
feit its opinion as to the Epoch mott fuita.
blefor the deputation to afsmble. So far
from having done this the French CO.
yernment has never given any satisfactory
anfwer upon the fubjed.
IS The Ambanador of His Imperial
and Royal Majety could not obtain from
the French government its content to en-
ter into a preparatory negotiation with
the Imperial Court, which i, had promifed,
both before and after the nomination of
the extraordinary Depu,ation of the En-
pire. On the contrary, they always an
iwered in an evalivc and dilatory manner,
to the repeated requeits made verbally
and in writing, on the Imperial and Roy
al Court
I" AS to the new Negotiation propoled
at the end of the lait year by His Majef
ty the emperor of Rufia, TO take place
at Paris, His Majefy acceded in the mof'
anicable manner 70 that proportion, bu,
notwithstanding that his ambaaador was
not called upon to take part in that ne
eo;iarion nor was he informed in any man
ner of its progrefs or its relult.
/" In fuch fate Of things, His Ma
jefy thinks, that the greater or Ieis delay
in the attending of the deputation of
the Empire cannot bea well founded motive
for rearaining the right which the empc-
ror and the Empire, as principal contract
ing Parties to the Peaceof Lanevilk for
merly referved TO themielves to difcufs and
regulate the bu6nefs of the Indemnities,
swell as other objects neceGary to the
~ a'meat Of that Treaty of Peace
IS His Majeay is on the contrary, per-
fesly aGured, that the two Powers alluded
to have jua regard to the inviolable
rights of an independent State, fueh as the
Germanic Body, will not let at naught,
in their practice, that fra and principal
attribute of independence.
In order to thew how far his His
Majeay is founded in relying on the
juRice Of the two Powers, he 2ubliihes to-
the Empire confolatory declaration,
which was pefented to his AmbaGador at |
Paris an official aGurance, by M. Ialley- |
rand, the Minifer for Foreign Affairs,
which aflurance is couched in thefe words |
You may ref aaured, that we have con- |
cluded with Ruflia, only upon fuch propo-
ftions as are to be made to you. That
which we fubmit to the deleberation of the
diet, cannot be called plan, it is merely al
PrejeR, but which appears to US he mcft
likely to give general fatisfattion. Il

the way of advice, and not with tone
