WE FRANCIS II, etc.

Extract Of a Proclamation i!frfed in tie Pienna ca
z1e,@ fe 25b September, 1905.
WE RANcIs II, etc.
I sproved by facts known 70 the whole Univerfe,
that ince che treaty Of Lupevile, nothing has been
.dearer to us than the prefrrvation of peace, reRored
by the fame treaty TO our faithful inhjeas.
Having always fcrupulouny fulfilled every obliga-
ton laid on us by this treaty ~, having obferved
the ariael neutrality (e) fince the renewal of the
maritime war, & having ihown the mon friendly mo-
deration, when the Emperor of the French broke fe-
veral fundamental articles of that peace, and put the
equilibrium of Europe in danger by numerous violati-
os and aggrandii.ments, we had every right to hope
that this deiire to preferve this peace would be fulfil
led,
But the preparations of the Emperor of the French
upon the frontiers OF the Tyrol and of the Du,chy, Of
Venice (3) joined to inenaces, have required of our
care, as Sovereign, to 2ss9ke preparations on our fide,
which, in removing 8eAhenions for the fafety of our
States, could, however, give France no pretext of
m;ftruft or of public complaint.
AT the fame time we took proper fteps at the courts
of Peterborough and Paris. to renew the negotiation ms of
peace, at the very moment when thofe negotiations of
which had been begun, were interrupted.
The court of France denied our good intentions,
and rejected our mediation; the court Of RufIia, en-
the contrary, declared herlelf ready to open with US,
and with thefame moderation as we, an amieabke nero
eiation cay, for the purpofe of re-efabliihing the tran
/ guilty, iafety and equilibrium OF the European States,
by an armed mediation.
Very far from defirne tie renewalof the war, but
convinced of the nee efity of theie vigorous meaiures,
us oniy ones capable of eaablifhing a true and laaint
peace, we ihared for this Purpofe the refolutions Of
