The note which the sinister presented by

departure, is even greater object OF cuflo.

The reservation in the note OF M. Novo-

is not the less surprising that monarch a.
minated, according to the declaration OF
NJ. Novosiltzoff. by SO sincere wish tor
peace, should begin by calling in question
the principles by which social order and the
tranquility of states are protected. The
political confusion which prevailed in France
appeared for along time the only reasonable
eause which could obstruct the pacific IN.
ten,ions of powers, and furnish an excuse
for their uneasiness and coo!ness; they
could wish for nothing more conclusive TO
their vital interests than to treat with go
yernmens analogous to their own, which
should at the same time assume the naJess
