tain the most complete possible harmony
between The Governments, Which can alone
consolidate this peace. Tho Emperor may
expect that his present absence from hls
beloved subjects vii be seen IN this point Of
view only, as l'e has Just given the greatest
rersonal proofs of moderation seldom
met with his inbistory. Offended at
neighborlns Power, which seemed 10 have
laid il down rs rule 10 depart from these
principles which with all other de,ia,ions
from ordinary form. could alone place II III
the rank of an European Power, the great
heart of the Emperor preferred counting
the drops of blood which the pursuance of
his Just claims To satisfaction must have
caused TO flow. Raied above the sensa-
TONS innate in the nature Of men aud of
Sovereigns, the Rclcr Of the greatest en-
pire on earth resolved 10 follow only his
own feelings for the peace and happiness Of
nations aud 10 illustrate his name by the
greatest example of moderation that so
mighty Monarch could leave 10 posterity.
Even the prospect of great increase Of
power could not induce his Majesty To sacri
fee his principles 10 ordinary policy. The
Emperor needed il not to make Russia
more happy, and that was sufficient for him
not 10 expose the welfare Of this quarter Of
the globe to new dangers.
There needs but short review Of the
history ofour times 10 prove 10 the world,
how the Emperor himself is rcudy To- open
his heart TO any newer views of national
prosperity. The Constitution gwen to the
Polish nation must convince all Europe Of
tins, for the Emperor gave il freely from
the impulse OF his own paternal heart But
he did not let his work rest here. lie pro-
we'd in Warsaw that he was magnanimoas
enough 10 remain unchanged, even when
the result of his generous resolution did
not perfectly answer his expectation. II
was impossible more clearly 10 manifest
the implicit will, TO gain the love ofhs peo-
pie.
With oil the feelings for the happiness Of
tho world, the Emperor cannot approve
when individuals throw obstacles IN the
way OF such high purposes, through an UNI
happy love of disorder, or perhaps for
wish TO promote their private interest, and
thereby perhaps 10 cudanger the tranquil
lily aud peace OF nations. Ever since there
have been governments and people there
have existed forms, the sacred inviolablity
oil which ensured the peaceful existence of
both. To destroy them with inconslde-
rate haud is crime committed against
nations. What monarch, what reasonable
man, what rejecting people could approve
of IL, The tosmopolitc must dread its
existence.
But who can deny that such D crime does
eA;st aud what citizen, regardlul-of his
domestic happiness, will no, be alarmed at
il
If the Emperor of Russia, holds out his
august hands in conjunction with his most
illustrious Allies, to cohfne every storm
that threatens danger TO the happy cltl-
zrn, he acquires II claim to his gratitude and
tlG.t of his posterity. Present and future
Governments pay him his tribute, and bis-
tory will imlnortalzc his mculory like tlat
of Titus.
The object of the meeting of the august
Monafchs and their Representatives Of vi
eaaa and Verona, after what has been said
cannot he a secret To the world, because the
Emperor Alexander has taken the resolu
ton 10 attend il IN person. Tho the de
tails of the negotiation maybe reserved for
future period, though the means TO attain
she noble object may he subject to manifold
discussions, the main point itself is ndubi
table, silee Europe has seen the founder Of
that Holy Alliance, which originated on the
banks of the Seine, eXertlng him'clf
practically To confirm the principle laid
down in II, and still further TO confirm them
by his present journey.
The Russian nation hlesses, therefore, the
resolution OF its generous Sovereign, even
though it must be, for time, deprived of
the benefits which it daily receives from
the hands of It's Monarch. With high and
wen founded pride, it will streN the way by
which its beloved Sovereign returns with
the flowers OF its bomdlcss gratitude.
