EARL RUSSELL TO LORD NAPIER.
FoTeign Ofiee. June 18th, 1859.
Nj LORD: Her Maiesty's Government have con-
sidered with the deepes, attention the dispatch OF
Prince Gorchakof Of tie 10th Of ApTii, whnh was
nay ' -
Her Msjesty's Government, are not desirons any
more than Prince GorchakoH, OF continuing
barren discussion. Will, therefore, pass over all
the controversy regarding my previous dlspatch;
4 will not endeayor in tie present communication
70 fix the precise meaning Of the article regarding
Poland in the treaty Of Vienna nor will argue, a.
Prince GorchakOf seems 10 expect tAould 90,
that there Is only one form under which gooa gov,
erruent can be established. Stiu le,s Will call
h question the benevolent intentions OF the enhght
eped Emperor who has already IN short time
effected such marvellous changes in the Legal oondl
Eon Of his RussIsn subjects.
Her Nsiesiy's Government are willing with The
Emperor Of Russia TO seek practical solution OF a
difficult and most important problem.
Baron Brunnow, IN presentihg 70 Inc Pnnce Cor
ehskofs dispatch, said: Ihe Imperial CaDihe. ls
ready 10 enter upon exchange OF ideas upon the
rround and within the limits Of the treaties Of I6l1
Her Msjestys Government are thus invited by The
Government Of Russia 10 Gil exchange OF ideas upon
the basis Of the treaty Of 1913, with view 70 The
psci8c alton and permanent tranquility Of Poland.
Before making any definite proposals., u II etsen'
ples upon which, as it appears 10 Dor Msjesys Gov
enuent, any future government Of Poland ongh, 70
rSs, TIE fret Of these 10 tie establishment OF con-
fdenoe In the Government On the part OF tie gov
srped
TIE original views Of the Emperor Alexander /.
are stated BY Lord Castereagb, who had heard from
the Emperor's own lips, II q long conversation the
plan be Contemplated.
The plan Of the Emperor lie thus described by Lord
Css,lereacb: "To retain the whole OF the Duchy Of
Warsaw, with the exception Of the small portion TO
the westward Of Kslisch, which be meant 10 assign
70 Prussia erecting the remainder, together with the
Polsh provinces formerly osmembered, into KING
dom, under the dominion Of Russia, with national
administration cengeniai 10 Tue sentiments Of the
people"
TIE whole force o; this plan consists in tie latter
words.
Whether power is retained in the hands Of one, as
10 the old monarchy Of France, or divided among a
select body Of tie arstocrscy, as IN the Republic Of
VeniSe-or distributed among q sovereign. a house
Of peers and representative assembly, az in En-
glsnd--its virtue and strength must consist IN iis
being National Accumulation congenial to the
sentiments Of the people,
TIE Emperor Alexander IL, speaking Of the in
sstutions he has given, tsys, AS 10 the future, !,
necessarily depends on the confidence with which
tbese institutions viii be received on the part Of the
kingdom"
Such an Administration as Alexander ]. intended,
sacb confidence az Alexander III. looked for, unhap-
PLY do not exit in Poland.
The next principle of order and stability must be
found III the supremacy Of law over arbitrary will
Where zach supremacy exists the subject or citizen
nay enjoy his property or exercise bis industry IN
peace ana the security lie feels sn ind vdusl vii
Be felt 10 iis turn by the Government under which
Be lives
Partial tuDults secret conapirseies, and the inter.
1erenee Of cosmopote strangers. Will not shake the
frm edifce Of such Government.
This element Of stability 10 Likewise wanting IN
Poland. The religions liberty guaranteed by the
solemn declarations Of The Empress Catherine, the
political freedom grspbsd by the deliberate charter
Of the Emperor Alexander l., have alike been Ab-
fogated by succeeding Governments, aud have been
Nly partially revived by tie present Emperor.
1t is no eesy task 10 restore TIA confidence which
has been lost, and TO regain the peAce which Is now
everywhere broken.
Her haJes'yt Government would DEEM them
selves guilty OF great presan pton If they were 10
express an assurance that vague declarations OF
good Intentions or even the snacment Of some VINE
laws, would make snch impression Oh the minds
Of The Polish people ~ 10 obtain peace and restore
obedience.
In present. circumstances II appears 10 her Males
ys Government that nothing lefs than tie fol, W
~ outline Of measures should DO adopted g. tue

L. Complete and general amnesty.
IL National representation with powers similar
q ,soss which are fixed by the charter Of the l5l0
