Is resentment against England, and warned
Il fr that ne should not remain indifferent TO
sch proceeding.
His majesty did not foresee, that while
] hgland. having successfully employed her
4 ices, was on the point of seizing on her
4 Iey, she would offer fresh outrage to Dem
Rrk, in which his majesty was to bear a
i Ht.
New propositions, still more insidious than
tPse made at first, were made to Denmark,
nich aimed atbineling down to England that
HTer thus subiugated, degraded, and APP
I pudding, as it were, every thing that had
lppened.
! Still less did the emperor foresee that it
Yuid:be proposed to him to guarantee that
/ Submission and to promise that that act of
Whence should not be attended with any mis-
elevous consequences to England.
The English ambassador seems to have
ilagined that he might venture to propose to
tie minister of the emperor, that his imperial
raIesty should undertake the apology and de-
face of a proceeding which he had soopenlyf
endemned. To this step on the part of The
cbinet of St. James, his majesty has thought
poper to pay only that attention which it
dscryed, and has deemed it high TINE to
ST limits to his moderation.
The prince royal Of Denmark endowed
With character full of nobleness and energy,
aid having been blessed by Providence with
ssul as eleYatedas his bigh rank, had apprized
tie emperor, that, Justly enraged at what had
recently happened against Copenhagen, he
had not ratified the convention respecting it,
and that he considered it as null and void.
That prince has Just now acquainted his
majesty withthe new propositions that have
been made to him, and which are ola nature
rather to provoke his resistance than to ap-
pease his resentment, fer they tend to
stamp on his actions the seal of degradation,
the impression of which they never will exhi-
bit.
The emperor struck with the confidence
which the prince royal placed in him, having
moreover. considered his own grounds of dis
satisfaction with England, having attended to
his engagements with the powers of the north
engagements entered into by the empress Ca
Uterine and his late imperial majesty both Of
glorious memory has resolved upon fulfilling
them.
His imperial majesty breaks off all eommu-
nication with England he recalls his en-
bassy from that court, and willnot allow any
ambassador from her to continue at his court.
There shall heDccforwaId exist no relations
between the two countries.
HE emperor declares that he abrogates c.
very act hitherto concluded between G. Bril-
tain and Russia, and particularly the conven-
ton concluded in 1901. He proclaims anew
the principles of the armed neutrality, that
monument of the wisdom Of the empress Ca
Uterine and binds himself never to recede
from that system.
Hecahs upon England to give complete
satisfaction to his subjects, with respect to all
the Just claims they may setup, of ships and
merchandise seized and detained, contrary to
the express tenor of the treaties concluded
during his own reign.
The emperour gives warning, that nothing
shall be re-estab,ished between Russia and
England, until the latter shall have given sa-
tsfa ction to Denmark.
The emperor expects, that his Britannia
majesty, instead of permitting his ministers
to scatter fresh seeds of war, in compliance
only with his own feelings, will be induced to
conclude peace with lis majesty the en-.
peror Of the French, which would be extend.
ing, III manner to the whole world, the III
estimable blessings Of peace.
When the en- peror shall be satisfied upor
all these points, and especially uponthat Of +.
peace between France and England, withou
which no part of Europe can expect to enjoy
any real tranquility, his Imperial majesty
will then willingly return to the relations o
alnity with Great Britain, which in the Jus
resentment which the emperor should feel, h,
has maintained, perhaps too long.
