lPetersburgh, & ofthe confidential expia-
nations which have been received from

king; and his Majesty has seen, with
I'nespressible satisfaction, the wise dlgni-
led, and generous policy. which the Eln--
eeror of Russia is disposed to ABORT, un-
er the present caiamltous situation Of
suTope. His majesty is also happy TO
,erceiye, that TIE views and sen lments
|efthe Emperor, respecting the deliver

Tranquility and safety, correspond SO en-
ireiy with bis own. He is therefore de-
Esirous of entering into the most explicit
and unreseryed explanations on every.
point connected with this great OBJECT, x
Iof forming the closest union OF councils,
land concert Of measures with his impe-
rial Majesty, in order, by their joint IN
I.iuence and exertions, toinsure the Coo
Iperation aud assistance of other powers
|of the continent, on scale adequate to
the magnitude and Importance OF an un-
ldertaking, on the success OF which the
future safety of Europe must depend.
For this purpose, the first step must be
Ito fix as precisely as possible the distinct
objects to which such a concert is to be
lire cted.
These, according to the explanation
given of the sentiments of the emperor,
in which his majesty entirely cencurs, ap-
pear to be three:
/. To rescue from the dominion of
France those countries which It has sub
ingated since the beginning Of the Revo-
iution, and to reduce France within its
iormer limits, as they stood before that
time.
/. To make such an arrangement with
respect to the territories recovered from
france, as may provide for their security
md happiness. and may, at the same time
constitute more eifactual Barrier in fu-
tire. AGAINST entertainments on the Dart
iof France.
s. 20 form, at the restoration Of reace
a general agreement and guarantee for
the mutual protection and security Of
different powers. and for establishing
Ia general system Of public law in Eu-
|rope.
The first and second objects are stated
generally, and in their broadest extent:
s6at neither OF them can be prcperly consi-
ideresl in detail, without reference to the
nature and extent of the means by which
jthey may be accomplished. The first is
certainly that to which, without any mo-
lsiication or exception, his ,na;esfy;s
FISHES. as we'll as those of the emperor,
would be preferably directed, and moth
ing short OF it can completely satisfy the
Jews which both .oyereigns form for the

should tbe possible to unite in a concert
Nith Great Britain and Russia the two o.
taer great military powers of the CONT
|neht, there seems little doubt that such
union OF force, would enable them to
accomplish all that is proposed ; but if
las there is too much reason to imagine
may be the case) it should be found i'm
possible to engage Prussia in the coniede-
racy, it may be- doubted whether such o.
perations could be carried en- in all the
quarters of Europe, as would be neces-
sary for the success OF the whole OF this
|rroJect.
The second point Of itself involves in
If many important considerations. The
views and sentiments by which his ma
iesty and the emperor of Russia are e.
EQUALLY animated in endeayoring To esta-
|biish this concert, are pure and disinter-
Tested.
Their first view, therefore, with re-

|be recovered from France, must be to
restore, as far as possible, their ancient
rights, and provide for tile internal hap
