580 APPENDIX TO CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 
[Inclosure 9 in No. 382.] 
Count Lieven to Mr. G. Canning. 
A la suite des déclarations verbales que le Soussigné, Ambassadeur Extraordinaire 
et Plénipotentiaire de Sa Majesté l’Empereur de Toutes les Russies, a faites au 
Ministére de Sa Majesté Britannique, le Cabinet de St. James a df se convaincre que 
si des objections s’étaient élevées contre le Reglement publié au nom de Sa 
527 Majesté l’Empereur de Toutes les Russies sous la date du 4 (16) Septembre, 
1821, les mesures ultérieures adoptces par Sa Majesté Impériale ne laissent 
aucun doute sur la pureté de ses vues et sur le désir qu’elle aura toujours de concilier 
ses droits et ses intéréts avec les intéréts et les droits des Puissances auxquelles 
Vunissent les liens d’une amitié véritable et d’une bienveillance réciproque. 
Avant de quitter Vérone, le Sonssigné a regu Vordre de donner au Gouvernement 
de Sa Majesté Britannique une nouvelle preuve des dispositions connues de l’ Empe- 
reur, en proposant & son Excellence M, Canning, Principal Secrétaire d’Etat de Sa 
Majesté Britannique pour les Affaires Etrangéres, sans que cette proposition puisse 
porter atteinte aux droits de Sa Majesté Impériale, si elle n’est pas acceptée, que de 
part et d’autre la question de droit strict soit provisoirement écartée, et que tous 
les différends auxquels a donné lieu le Réeglement dont il s’agit, s’applanissent par 
un arrangement amical fondé sur le seul principe des convenances mutuelles et qui 
serait négocié a St. Pétersbourg. 
L’Empereur se flatte que Sir Charles Bagot ne tardera point a recevoir les pouvoirs 
et les instructions nécessaires 4 cet effet, et que la proposition du Soussigné achévera 
de démontrer au Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique combien Sa Majesté 
Impériale souhaite qu’aucune divergence d’opinion ne puisse subsister entre la Russie 
et la Grande-Bretagne, et que le plus parfait accord continue de présider a leurs 
relations. 
Le Soussigné, &e. 
(Signé) , LIEVEN. 
LONDRES, le 19 (31) Janvier, 1823. 
[Translation.] 
By the verbal declarations made by the Undersigned, Ambassador Extraordinary 
and Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Empeior of All the Russias, to Her Britannic 
Majesty’s Government, the Cabinet of St. James’ must have been convinced that, 
though exception had been taken to the Regulation published on the 4th (16th) Sep- 
tember, 1821, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias, the subse- 
quent steps taken by His Imperial Majesty leave no doubt as to the purity of his 
intentions, and as to the desire which will always animate him to reconcile his own 
rights and interests with those of the Powers to which he is linked by bonds of true 
friendship and reciprocal good-will. 
Before leaving Verona the Undersigned received instructions to give the Govern- 
ment of Her Britannic Majesty a new proof of the known feelings of the Emperor, 
by proposing to his Excellency Mr. Canning, Her Britannic Majesty’s Principal Sec- 
retary of State for Foreign Affairs, whilst reserving the rights of His lmperial Maj- 
esty should the proposal not be accepted, that the question of strict right should be 
provisionally set aside by both parties, and that all the differences created by the 
Regulation in question should be smoothed over by a friendly arrangement based 
solely on the principle of mutual accommodation to be negotiated at St. Petersburgh. 
The Emperor flatters himself that Sir Charles Bagot will very shortly receive the 
necessary powers and instructions in the above sense, and that the proposal of the 
Undersigned will completely convince the Government of Her Britannic Majesty of 
the earnest wish of His Imperial Majesty that no difference of opinion should exist 
between Russia and Great Britain, and that the most perfect agreement should con- 
tinue to guide their relations. 
The Undersigned, &c.
