After reading these papers, it was consider

made thereto, when the general opinion ap

and no notice whatever taken of the propo-

Upon this, as indeed upon ail other oceasions
subsequent to the resumption of authority by
Bonaparte, wherein the present state of the
continental powers, with regard to France, has
come under discussion, but one opinion has ap
peared to direct the councils of the several
sovereigns. They adhere, and from the com
mencement have never ceased to adhere, to
their declaration of the 13th of March, with
Tespect to the actual ruler of France. They
