"SIR, MiNIsrEn
"Tie confidential note which
your exceilencyklid ne the honor to address
TO ME on the s5tk JulW from Toulouse, reach
eel me ON. the lst August Whilst empiorxtl
in answering it, Yesterday received your
note of the Soth July, ffVm Bordeaux
III the first OF those Napers was of a ma
ture to make me cstperieAce and anticipate
the regret that the EMPEROR, my master,
would feel when Perusing il; am reioiced
at the manner in which my Recommendations.
CT the 22d July last, were received by his
majesty, the Emperor Ma poleon. What
powerful impressions must not questions,
such as those addressed to him from Tou-
louise, create Oh the mind of a sovereign
whose characters eminently, pacific, who
Is attached to the true interests of his peo-
pie, and steady to those political measures
which are so conformabie to his true inter
es,se The Emperor cannot but regret, that
the many proofs. given to France at critical
moments SO many steps taken to cherish
the most intimate relations with her and
the new assurances that had been given of
ms constant adherence to. the principles
Which governed his continental policy
should have given way 70 the FIRST impress
sion, which ruriors created and amplifed
by 'naleyolence, had evidently made upon
= cabinet, with which all his .inclinations
LED h,m to unite, upon powerful ally, whose
friendship never can become a matter of in
difference, since it is founded upon interests
reciprocal and common to both empires.
"Ihe frank. plain and undisguised expEa-
nations. which l believe to be alone worthy
OF the Emperor Napoleon. have had, in part
the effect expected. Opposed to them at
this time, are the rumors circulated at Top
litz. Carlsbad, Egra am without unea-
slness respe citing these. The reports, forg
ed in the coffee houses of Europe, must con-
tradict and efacs themselves. have only
to remark to your excellency, that they are
not the 1'umors of Austria. Nine enths of
the inhabitants of those places are stran-
gers e. 81: taiIative because they are idle, and
anu SCitiChSht III a. COuntif tnCy only
inhabit. If such is the evidence
of foreign influence. it is proved to be a null
lty by the places and by the distant frontier
where it is exercised. His majesty, the EN-
peror, may be assured, there exists no such
influence in the councils of the emperor Fran
els, and that all prejudice and deception are
equally remote from them. The past ought
10 prove this, the present and the future will
convince him of it.
your excellency has mentioned sort of
riot at Trieste. and the stoppage of :wo cou-
riers in Croatia facts, of which until now,
had no knowledge. would regret them,
AZ do every event contrary to the pub
lie order. and contrary to the obvious relati-
ons that should exist between neighbors
and friends, if they did not Furnish to my
court a new opportunity to prove to his ma
jesty, the Emperor Napoleon, that he never
will be deceived in his expectations of re-
dress. for actsof this kind, to as great an
extent AS he himself would afford it, if they
had been committed in his own dominions.
promise your excelIency the most severe
punishment of the guilty.
I" FASTENED to transmit to Vienna, the
last communication from your excellency;
and, having no cabinet courier at command,
gave it in charge to Count de Mier. The
reasons for desiring an answer, which your
exceliency communicated to me, will great
ly contribute to induce the Emperor to re-
turn a prompt reply, which will be drawn
up according to the amicable intentions
which govern him. Those intentions are
too we'll known, to leave any doubt but that
the proofs. which his majesty will furnish
France, will be transmitted without any
other delay than that which must of neces.
sity take place.
"That confidence, which your excelIency
has so long possessed, will not allow me to
conceal my wishes, that the Emperor may
suspend, until the return of my courier, any
measure calculated to confirm, more than at
present, the apprehension of speedy rup-
ture between Fiance and Austria. / per-
fectly accord with the very Just remarks,
which you have made in your recent COM
munications, respecting the improperly Of
measures, which, in spite of the wishes of
sovereigns, or tkeir ministers, and the most
wise among the people. often produce the
greatest misfortines among mankind. Let
us not, then, RAISE the hopes Of our common
enemy, by exhibiting hostile appearances
which, in Austria, as we'll as elsewhere, can
but have an unfavorable effect upon the pub
lie, deprived Of all knowledge of the true
| state of affairs; and which, on one side, as
| well as on the ether, may place the courts
in an attitude, Is contrary to the wishes of
both Emperors Jas to- those of both nations
Let us not furnish the malevoIent, those who
are really anxious for war, with those new
weapons, which they may coyertly hurl a.
gainst us botf. Nothing is more easy, and
unhappily nothing is more common, than tc
see that Offered as Jealous support, which
has motive Of very different character.
