" T!u peace of Presburg, thj treaty of al

" BI. de la Rochefoucauld had to wit fir
authority, lie acquainted his court wuh the
request nf the Russian minister, and he re
ceived orders to furnish M. D'Oobril with
pisp6ris immediately' ; but although it il has
always been the intention cf the Emperor iwt
to permit Russia to intermeddle imperiously
in thou inltifus winch ae not wulnn the
sphere of he? power, and in discussions fi.
reign to her localities; he did not the less tie
tire a reconciliation which tniglti be useful to
both states
M. cTOubrii arrived at P.ris the Cth of

ire therefore to recommence. The men who
preside over the discords of nations, and who
make a jest df prolonging or of multiplying
the fatal epochs of war and dfthe disturbance
6f states, are highly enraged. The conque
rors of Ulm and of Austerlitz are again as
sembled under their standards, and near the
field of their trium'plis. Greater in 'number,
more formidable than ever, by that organi
sation winch jjs never been equalled and will
never b? rivalled, ihey wait with inpatient
hope the impulse of ths great soul which ani
mates them. "

" In all cases, the Kir.prror, as well as the
French eople, are prepared for every event ;
and the armies of his m-njesty.will find them

' cessary to combat to consolidate repose and a
durable -and glorious peace..
