APPENDIX. 
No. I. 
The following document is inserted to prove 
the remarkable fact, that during a period when 
England was not at war with Russia, two English 
Gentlemen, accredited by their Government, 
and bearing with them recommendatory letters 
from the English Secretary of State, were 
detained prisoners in that country, contrary to 
the laws observed between civilized nations. 
It is an answer, from the Governor of Moscow, 
to their petition for a passport to return to 
England ; after every application to the Emperor, 
by means of their Minister at Petersburg, had 
failed of effect; given verbally and literally. 
“ Le Comte Soltijcof est inortifie qui’l ne peut 
pas contenter Messieurs Cripps et Clarke, en 
leurs proGurant la permission de sortir hors des 
frontidires, par la raison que ca ne depend que 
de Sa Majeste l’Empereur mfime. Ce qui con- 
cerne l’envoi de la lettre au Ministre d 'Angleterre
