The second document is an official declaration as to the attitude of Trance towards Austria * in the event or Austrian adhesion to the Western alliance against Russia . It also takes the form of an iratirevolutibaary ; ' > inanifesto , for the ; purpose of' reassuring the " interests" of whifeh a revolutioaarj war is the bugbear . Above all , however , it may ; lie considered as a courteous menace to' Austria of the consequences of her defection from the " Western Powers . It will be remarked with what an affected consideration it sneaks of" the revolutionary party .: dispensing with the customary jargon of calunuribus insults , and the cant about ; " order"' and " society / it affects almost a paternal ; air of' deprecation and mild remonstrance : ~
overtores of King Leopold . His Majftsty bad expressed a desire to Bee- a situation established which would , penhit the two Courts to keep up the relations of friendship and good neighbourhood which exist between the two- countries ; and the Emperor authorised Prince Napoleon to be , on his side , the interpreter of the same sentiments . This visit , aa yon perceive , has no political character ; but : the moinent at which , it has been accomplished impaibs to it . a . significance which will , I-doubt not , have been perceived by the two Courts of Dresden and Gotha ; it will serve to dissipate the reports which malevolence , and error : have , been propagating for * some months past on- the subject o £ our relations witn Belgium , at the sameKtdme that it shows the perfect Ear * mony . whifeh his Majesty- desires : from . h »; hearth to . keep . up with the . neighbouring States .

" In publishing , the documents , relative to the Eastern qneition , the Government has given-a fresh proof of its good faith and the sincerity of its indentions . The power wMcti is founded oa the national wilt , and the motives of which are only suggested by the honour-and interest of France , cannot pursue tliat tortuous-syatear . ofi policy-the ^ sole- strength of which consists in intrigce and mystery-. The power with which the Government , » . armed consists of sincerity and candour . Thus- the Government : canpot be prejudiced by any light thrown upon , its .- proceedings , and it cannot , therefore ., allow any opportunity to escape of elocidating any equivocal point , and of" warning all of what they hive to hope or . fear . In the struggle which has taken
place in the East ,. France , closely allied with England , declared herself in favour of the cause of right—or that cause w . hich is the cause of all Europe . The independence of all States would be menaced' if Europe were . to < allow Russian influence to- be indefinitely extended * This truth is apparent to alL Austria ,, in spite of the . intimate ties of friendship which connected her vrith the Court of Rtusia , is every day more and more disposed to adopt . the policy which we defend ; and Prussia , we doubt not , will frame her policy in accordance with the wishes and the interest ot the whole of Gerimioy . Thus this conflict , in which it may be said that all the powers of the continent are . openly- or tacitly engaged against . Russia , would nob'present any danger if thero were
not reasons to fear complications-arising from the ^ spirit of revolution which may , perhaps , show itself on this occasion upon several points . It is , therefore , the imperative doty of the Government to declare frankly and in good faitli to those who wbh to profit by present , circumstances to excite- disturbances , whether in Greece or in Italy , that by bo doimg they will place themselves in direct opposition to the interests of Franco . The French Government will never adopt a doublefaced policy , and thus , while defending tho integrity of the Ottoman empire at Constantinople , it cannot suffer that integrity to be violated by- aggressive acts from Gre-cce , nor can it , while the flags of Franco and Austria are united in the East , allow any attempt to bo made to separate them upon the Alps .
