379 



Januaiy, 1811, which ordains that 

 no agreement, treaty, or even form 

 of truce, shall be entered into with 

 France, until his Majesty is at 

 •perfect liberty; influenced also by 

 the treaty with Great Britain, of 

 which one of the articles pre- 

 scribes, that there shall not be 

 peace with France without the 

 intervention of that power ; con- 

 fined themselves to giving, as 

 their only reply to the Duke of San 

 Carlos, a letter from his Majesty, in 

 which the above named decree was 

 inserted, and his Majesty was in- 

 formed that it was impossible to 

 ratify such a treaty, which besides 

 was entirelj' null in all its parts. 



Notwithstanding that this trans- 

 action was completely terminated 

 in the above manner, the Regency 

 have thought it their duty to com- 

 municate the same to the Cabinet 

 of their Allies, thus proving the 

 rectitude of their principles. It is 

 in pursuance of their orders, there- 

 fore, that I have the honour to 

 beg your Excellency to transmit 

 this document for the information 

 of his Royal Highness the Prince 

 Regent of Great liritain. The 

 Regency view only in this new 

 step of Napoleon, the disgraceful 

 necessity in which he has seen 

 himself placed, of recanting the 

 very principles which he had pro- 

 claimed with so much arrogance. 

 The Regency further feel them- 

 selves compelled to devote all their 

 cares to the continuance of the 

 war, deeply convinced that its 

 result must be fortunate, and en- 

 couraged by the idea of the diffi- 

 cult situation of France, announced 

 by propositions and measures so 

 contrary to the haughty character 

 of her Chief. The regency flatter 

 themselves, in short, that Britain, 



animated by the same sentiments, 

 will feel convinced of the neces- 

 sity of continuing the same efforts 

 till the Chief who governs France 

 shall be reduced to an incapacity 

 of again disturbing the tranquillity 

 of Europe, so many years the 

 victim of his insatiable ambition. 

 I have the honour to be, &c.
