bis Njefy's pacific negotiations
with other powers. II nevc. will be
endured by his Majeay that any
government fhaIl indemnify itfeif for
the humiliation of fublerviency to
France, by the adoption of an infuh-
ne and Percmptory tone towards g.
Britain.
His Majefy proclaims anew thofe
principles of maratime law, againit
which the armed neutrality, under
the aufpices Of the Empreis Catha-
rine, was originally directed and
againf which the preient holtilities
of RulIia are denounced. Thofe
principles have been recognized and
acted upon in the bef periods Of the
hiltory Of Europe ana acted upon
by no Power with more ftri8pefs and
f-verity than by Ru.Ea herfelf in the
reign Of the empress Catherine.
1hofe principles it is the right and
the duty Of his Majety to maintain /,
and against every Confederacy his
MajeGy is determined, under the
bieiIing Of divine Providence, to
maintain them. They have, at all
times, contributed e1entialIy to the
tuPport Of the maratime power of
Great Britain but they are become
incaculabiy more valuable and i'm
portant at a period when he mara
time power Of Great sritain conti-
tUtes the fole remaining bulwark a
gainh the overwhelming ulurpations
Of france; the only refuge to which
other nations may yet re(ort, in hap
pier times, for alIaAnce and protec-
tion.
When the opportunity for Peace
between Great Britain und RuiTa
fhali arrive, his Majcfy will MIRAGE
it with eagcrnes'. The arrange
ments Of fuch a negotiation will not
be difficult or complicated. His
MsjefY, as he has nothing to con-
cede, 70 he has nothing to require !;
fatisGed, if RulIia fhall manifeit a
dilpo6tion to return to her ancienr
feelings Of friendlhip towards Great
Britain to a juf confederation Of
her own true interefs and to a
ienfe of her own dignity as an indie

Although our trade is at present cut of
