The Sublime Pone has

note on the departure of the
English minister.
‘‘Although the faithful re

in a note he left, to be given
after his departure to the Sub

the principal cause of his dis
content, of a p;.(f
port for which he
wt filed to fend to the Darcia
i ei'es. As he had not receiv
ed on that uccafion a negative
answer, this ft ip poled refufal
could not have been the motive
for his departure jand it is well

cause to complain of any ad

PARIS, March 22. -
“ Sire,
The message which your Impe
rial and Roval Majesty has ad
dressed to the senate, from your
imperial camp of Warsaw and
the important events which you
* ‘
will form anew monument of your
paternal solicitude for the happi
ness of the French people.
“ The dates of the treaties of
Posen, which your Imperial and
Roval Majesty has caused to bo
transmitted to the senate, would
be alone sufficient to shew, that af
ter the most brilliant victories,
your Majesty’s sole object is to
obtain an honorable peace for na
tions, and of course one capable
of inspiring the best hopes of its
permanence.
“ These treaties, in confirming
the independence of a brave and
generous nation, whose improve
ments, industrv, manners and in
terests ought to approximate it to
France, augment and consolidate
that grand confederation of the
Rhine, which the actual state
of Furope demanded .and the vast
conceptions of your majesty were
alone capable of forming, asthd
best guarantee of its luture inte
rests. The consummate wisdom
of your Imperial and Royal Mu
jestv has with facility perceived
in the dangers of the Ottoman
Porte, thce which threaten all
Europe. If the Porte were to
give way to the efforts of the
Russians, what barriers would
stop the destructive torrents ot bar
barians, with which the Norih &
East would inundate the West &
South? The footsteps of these
Scythian savages would be mark
ed with devastation, blood & fire.
Are they not still attested by the
melancholy ruins they have left in
Italy, in Switzerland, in Holland,
near the fields of the ever memo
rable Austcrlitz, and it! Poland,
where so many banks are to be
forever rendered illustrious, by
the splendid actions of the armies
under your Majesty’s comm in J ?
Acts, sciences, civilization,would
perish, or if the strength ol Euro ,
peati institutions resisted those
invasions perpetually renewed,
what would be the fate ol the in
dustry of France, and particular
ly the southern parts of France.
