The undersigned, his mslesty's princinal sec.
Rotary OF state tor foreign affairs, has laid be-
icre Tue king his master the note transmitted 10
hiin by his excellency the count Nicholas de Ro
manzof, minister for foreign affairs ofbis raa;es
lne emperor OF all the Rdssss, dated on the
l6tb-28th of Nov. '''o
Inc KING learns with establishment and regret
the expectation which appears to have been en-.
tertaned, that his majesty should consent To com
mence negotiation for a general peace bv the
previous abandonment Of the cause ofthe Span.
t ISL nation, and of the legitimate monarchy of
SPAN, IN Difference to an usurpation which no.
no parallel in the history of the world.
ms majesty had hoped that the participation
VI the emperor OF Russia in the oyertures made
90 ms majesty would have afforded a security N
hl' majesty against the proposal of condition
so unjust in its effects, and so fatal in its evan
pie. '""'"
Nor can his majesty conceive by what oblpa.
non ciduty or OF interest, or by what principe of
RUSSIAN policy, bis imperial mqiesty can have
found himself compelled to acknowledge the
f'th,, assumed by France, to depose and upri.
SOU friendly soyereigns, and forcibly 10 transfer

OFFICIAL NOTE.

The king has uniformly declared his readiness
ana desire to enter into negotiation for general
peace, on terms consistent with the honor of his
malesty's crown, with fidelity to his engagement
and with the permanent reposc and security of
Europe. His majesty repeats that declaration
II the condition OF the continent be one of agi-
tat'on and of wretchedness if many states have
been everthrown 3nd more are still menaced with
subversion 1t is consolation to the king to re-
fleet, that no part OF the commissions which have
already been experienced, or of those which are
threatened for the future, can be in any degree
imputable to his majesty The king is most will
Ing to acknowledge that all such dreadful chan.
ges are indeed contrary to the policy of Great.
Britain.
Ii the cause of so much misery is to We found
IN the stagnation of commercial intercourse, al
though his majesty cannot be expected to hear,
with unqualified regret, that the system devised
tor the destruction Of the commerce of his sub
Jects has recolled upon its authors, or its nstru
ments, yet it is neither in the disposition of his
majesty nor in the character of the people over
whom he rcigns, to rejoice in the privations and
unhappiness even of the nations which are COM
blned against him. His majesty desires the ter
mnation OF the sntterings ofths continent
Inc war IN which His Majesty is engaged,
was entered into by His Majesty for the object
OF national safety. 1t has been prolonged only
because no secure and honorable means of termi.
mating IT have been hitherto afforded by his enc
mics.
But in the progress ola war begun for self.de.
tence, new obligations have been imposed upon
HIS Majesty, In behalf ofpowers whom the ag.
gresslons ola common enemy have compelled 10
make common cause with His Majesty or who
have solicited His Majesty's assistance and
support in vindication of their national indepen-
dence.
The interests of the crown of Portugal and of
H,s Siciiian Majesty, are confded to His Majcs-
tvs Friendship and protection.
With the King of Sweden, His Majesty is con-
nected by tues ofthe closest alliance, and by stip-
uiations which unite their councils, for peace as
well as for war
To Spain, His Majesty is not yet bound by any
formal Instrument but His Majesty has, in the
face OF the world. contracted with that nation
engagements not less sacred, and not less binding
upon Has Maiesty's mind than the most solemn
treaties.
His Majesty therefore, assumes, that, in AN O.
vert,re made to has majesty for entering into ne
SoclaiioEfs foe general peace, the relations sub
siScInS between his Majesty and the Spanish
monarchy nave been distinctly taken into oons;
derstiou' and that the government acting in the

was unted with the Emperor of the French for

~ here repeats that declaration He is resoiyeJ
not to separate his interests from those of th.t
monarch but they are both ready to conclude
peace; provided it bejust, honorable, and equal
Tor all parties. s'A
he undersigned sees with pleasure, that in
TINS difference OF opinion respecting the Snani.
ards, nothing presents Itself which can e;tbnr
prevent or delay the opening of a congress. He
uef"es MS persuasion IN this respect, from that
which ms Britannia majesty has himself conf &.
deu 10 the two emperors, that he is bound bv mn
positive engagement with those who have take,
up arms in Spain.
After fifteen years Of war, Europe has right
10 demand peace The interests of all the pow

general; humanity commands it ; and sucb n
desire surely, cannot be foreign to the feelings Of
his Britannia majesty. How can it be, that he
alone can withdraw himself from such an Object
and refuse to terminate the miseries of sufIcr;na
