your majesty will be satisfied with it. The
emperor of Russia is astonshed at the refu-

1t is founded. Austria wisn>s first to know
the result ot the conferences of Erfurth. I" Is
1t by disobliginy." says the emperor, "that
she prctents to merit complaisancc Why
IS she uneasy 1T what has been signed at
Erfurth: Far from having wished to injure
the interests Of Austria, there was stipulated
there the integrity of that monarchy" tThis
assertion is evidently a mistake of the en,-

friendship, she evinccs to me her distruse of
my conduct at Erfurth." The emperor &C
cuses Austria of contradictions in all her
conduct, and in the language of Nj. de Met

he says that the acknowledgement demand.

was too SWEET to every Frcnchman, as ell
as to NJ. de Romanzoff, (who respects and
