ways be animated by the fame difpofton and
he will be ready to accept the proffcred media
| ton, whenever il fhall he in the power of his
majetty the emperor and king to communicate
| to him the grounds upon which the French 60
vernment may be inclined to enter into negoci-
alton; & that it fhall appear thefe grounds are
of fuch nature as may afford profpett of the
attainment of that end which is the object Of all
the endeavours of his imperial majrRy of all
