o. SIR, NY Be OTHER,
e. NV ambassador at Paris in
forms me, that your imperial majesty is "a
bout to depart for Erfurth, there to meet the
emperor Alexander. sieze with prompt
tnde, the opportunity, which your approach
to my frontiers offers, to renew to you the
assurances of the friendship and high esteem
which have vowed for you, and send my
lieutenant general baron Vincent, to be the
: bearer of the invariable sentiments which
have thus expressed. flatter myself that
your majesty has never ceased to be convin-
ced of this, and that, if the false interpreted
tions which have been given to the interiors
institutions organized in my monarchy, have
fsr.a moment created any doubts OF my per-
severance in my intentions, the explanati
ons presented by the count de Metternich on
the subject, will have entirely removed them.
The baron de Vincent is also Instructed to
confirm this to your majesty in detail, and to
add all the explanation that can be desired.
pray you to shew him the same kindness,
as that with which you had the goodness to
receive him at Paris and at Warsaw. The
new marks of favor that you may shew him,
will give me an unequiSoSet proof of the en-
tire reciprocity of those sentiments, and will
confirm that entire confidence, which has
left no effort uhtried to give mutual satisfac-
tion.
Have the goodness to accept the assor-
ance of the unalterable attachment and high
consideration, with which am, sir, my bro
ther, the good brother and friend of yonr i'm
perial and royal majesty.
(Signed) FRANCIS.

SIR, MY BROTHER,
Assurances have been given
by the court OF Vienna, that the militia
should be disbanded which were lately rails
ed, and that no other armament should take
place calculated to disturb the repose or ex-
cite the approximations of the Rhenish con
federation the subjoined letter, whiSh
have received from the emperor of Austria,
the reiterated assurances gi, en- by the baron
de, Vincent, and, above all, the commence
ment of the fulflrnent of those promises,
which has been already Witnessed. induce
me to inform your majesty, that i believe
the tranquility of tile states OF the confede-
ratioa is not ia any way Threatened, and that
your majesty may break up your camps and
order the troops into quarters, in the manner
that has eretoforc been followed. think it
is. advisable that our ministers at Vienna
should be instructed to hold this language
that the camps will be re-orSaniSed, and the
troops of the confederation and its protector
will be placed in a hostile attitude, whenever
Austria snail make extraordinary unusual
ornaments; and, in tine, that we desire tran
guilty and safety.

SIR, MY BRorHBR,
Il thank your imperial and
royal majesty for the letter, which you had
the goodness to send me, and which NJ. the
boron de Vincent has delivered. Ihave ne
yer doubted the good Intentions OF your ma
Jesty but nevertheless feared at one moment
That hostilities were about to be renewed be-
tween us.
az There is at Vienna a faction, which af-
fects purity and good intentions, the readier
to precipitate your majesty into such violent
measures, as would produce misfoitunes
much greater than those which have hereto
fore been experienced. 1t was in my power
TO dismefnber the monarchy of your majesty
or at least to render it less powerful did
not wish to do So Austria is as wished it
to be. That was the best proof that all ac-
counts between Us were closed, and that
desired nothing from her.
have been always ready to guarantee
the integrity of your monarchy. i have ne
yer done any thing prejudicial to the prima-
ny interests of your state. But your majes-
t. should not now introduce for discussion

ready determined You should intcrdict any

=" hoped, when I had the honor to see
your majesty, and when the treaty of Pres.
burg was concluded, that our differences
were finally adjusted, and that l might then
without hazard on nistrust turn the whole
