The French Emperor, il is stated had 40 wish to
oppose the demands for redress which hereu pom
made By tie late Czsr. Toe Gar himself was not
nm SLING to engage in var with Francs, in which
he might possibly head European coalition against
the Lew empire:
The interior policy Of the Emperor Nap ,leon
pleased the Czsr-and let Us say, en- p1ssart, that
this tolerance of the Czar was the condemnation of
this policy; lie method Of governing had the spprooa
ton of soveregns, and on several occasions he was
congratulated. But bic efforts TO assimla,e himself
