. The treaty Of peace between Francs
and Russia has not been ratified by the
emperor Alexander. It would be- dit6-
cult TO find out an excuse or plausible
reason in ihe laws Of public or private
niorality. for this strange refusal. We
see no pr.text, nor even any suhterfuge
for i'll fifth. Il cannot be alledged that
the Russian pleuiposentinry stepped be-
yond his AUTHORITY. Never we're pow
ers mote ,nlimited given, nor was there
eser a promise to ratify a treaty more
formal or more positive. A constant
intelligence was remarted in the course

this continuation of senerosity forms a

The emperor Alexander may openly
