Paris, December 6, 1863
SIR: The Saysreigns have replied to the En-
peTor S lester, and IN their replies all have ZEN
dssed bolaags to that bold initiative, which, lay
ing bsTs lie dangers of she situation, proposed
the most polite, sRd most loyal means for
EvertiHg them.
As yon know, tbs mai sTisy Of tbs couyt ad
hersd, without reserve, 10 ths proposition Of
France, Others eccsIh2 panied their adhesion viii
cer,ain restrictions, ~ requesting the French
Cabinet to draw up beforehand he pTogranRs
Of shs iatago de.ibsfAtiOus. TIE German Sew
ereiga, uelsou-l y favorable 10 tis idea Of {
congfess, spboFd lined their action 20 the
collective resolution Of their coniedeFs.es. Tre
renly Of the Gsrmsuie Diet has net reached rs.
Oas power alone (Euglznd) has refused.
Ua5er these circumstances, We have to ex-
press our regret TO the British CABINET, oar
thanks to the ssVereigrs who have ausonditi1n-
ally accepted, and give sn explanation to
those who have esks3 Tor information.
Ths French Government did not consider It.
sell authorized TO coadse within = programme
the high Jurisdiction Of Egrops; It WAS far from
ths thoughts the Emperor tosst himself up
as an arbitrator. To enumeTate The dangers
which threaten the peace OF the world is supsT-
duouE; those dangers are evident It sppsr
tanned only to the Powers assembled in con-
grsss to decide Rpon the questions TO be dis
eusssd, and those 70 0s dismissed.

Of November admitted of the two hypetheses-
= unsuim1us or partial acceptance.
In the Rrst placs the Pu5ie mind wsald have
been greatly Hgpessed, and even If under II eli
difficulties had Rel been settled, batter under

al vould have been able to exchange their ideas
aud express their desires or fears, would have
silenced many susceptibilisiss, ended many mis-
understandings, sad dispe led msuy preiR1ices
The pyobsble rssuh Of these negotiations would
have been asslutaIy and honorable eompTomise

| be amelioratiohs which prevent revolutions and
war.
Wss this Eut,pis Recent events prove
| the contrary and ja5iify sooner than we thought
| ,hs EmsroT's provisions. The King OF Denmark
| dies: passions are inaameds the people grow ex-
| cited. and the Government, undecided, balance
/ between the letter of treaties and the national
/ sentiment Of their country. A congress might
/ alone reconcile the duties Of the sovsrsigns,
| bouud bv conventions and the legitimate Aspi-
fatious Of the people.
Tho refusal Of Englsnd has RnfortunatslY
rendered impossible the frst result that we had
| hoped for from tbs appeal mads by the Emperor
/ TO Europa. There now remains the second by
rotbssis-tbe limited congress. It's realization
depends upon the will of the s5yesoigns.
| After the refusal Of the Cabinnt, we might
| eopsider orr duty accomplished, and henceforth
/ in the events which may arise, only take into
account our own peeuliaF interests. But We
| rrefer 20 recognize the favorable disPositi9as
/ which have hssa displayed toward us, and to
/ remind the soyrrcigns who have sssoc ated
i themselves wisaour intentions, that we are TO

/ tioas from being left 70 chance.
When general congress was in question the
! Emperor could not, without changing the part
he hal traced out for himself, draw up pro
/ rrsmne. OF esnesIt with some Of the Powers,
| u ssder to submit afterwards to the others =
/ plan prepared beforehand, and commence thus
| with negotiation distinct from tee aeiiberation
In which Be had decided 20 present himself with
out ureconceiYed IDEAS aud fres from special en-.
9aQsmsus. Bat as the reunion cannot now be
come conplets, 1t viii not have the arbitrary
sushority belonging to the EuTopeEn Congress.
We feel, theFefoIe, that, before meeting the SOW
reigns shsuld instruct their foreign ministers to
sgTee upon the questions 10 Be discussed, in
order that the Congress may have more chance
of leading TO q practical result
4 You are, therefore, authorized 10 explain, 81
/ shove, the intentions Of the Emperor to tht
court at which you are seerediteS, and 10 leave
copy of this dispatch with ths Minister fol
Foreign Affairs. Rsesive, sir, the sssaranee o
my high consideration.
