The questions which you put TO me in re-.
alton to Poland, 20 Germany, to Italy. &c
seem to indicate that you presume the Em
1eror Alex has come here 10 learn
politics. the military art, geography and
political economy from Lord Castlereagh -
is is remarkable that your English nation,
refuses to allow any portion of common
sense to foreign princes, although she has
so often been their dupe. They cannot
certainly deny that the Emperor Of Rus
STA has some experience in political ard
military affairs: he has felt the power Of
the other states, both in the Cabinet and on
the field of battle. He has seen the Princes,
ministers and people, he has conversed with
knows the relative force of his Eupire and
his political interests, better than anv Eng
Iishman can do. Hence it is d;sasTeeabie
to see lessons given to him. whea lac does
net ask tor them
AT the present time, the policy of the
Emperor j.. extremely simple: a stable
peace, secure repose, are all that he ask
tor. But this object cen only be obtained,
by an arrangement which banishes all pos
lt'ca' Jealousy, puts an end to diplomatic
intrigues, and which in fine renders every
a aggressive war, every attic mPt conquest,
Improbable enterprises. l. is necessary to
leave 10 courts, TO kings and to princes uei~
tier de8UcS sor fears. The four continen
tai powers, Russia, Austria, France and
Prussia, are OF one accord in relatioa to
this principle it only remains 20 establish
their line OF dcmarkation. Although OBJ.
stina'e prejudices, supported by the pro-
Jects OF men ct narToU minds, may CONT

eral peace, yet the Emperor Alexander is
determined to guarantee and Consolidate
that Of the north of Europe. An indepeu..
dent kingdom IN Poland, would be incom-
Pat'ble With every project for durable
peace. A general acquaintance with the
political state of Europe, and siagle Impair
tai glance at the state OF socie'y in Poland,
VIII be sufficient 20 Convince any one OF
this Hence no reasonable man can pre-.
sumo that Alexander will now risk the O.
yerthrowing of that bulwark of the Russian
empire, whica has cost him so much blood
