Faithful to the principle of the alliance formed between the powers of Europe, and only directed against the man, who usurping anew the power over France, has caused to re-appear all the evils which war brings in its train, his royal highness the prince regent of England, who has shewn himself so constantly animated with the noble desire of putting an end to them, having been informed that Napoleon Bonaparte had surrendered himself to the naval forces of his Britannic majesty, hastens to cause all hostilities on the coasts of France to cease. His excellency lord Castlereagh has communicated to the minister of the king an official notice of these orders and the following note to this effect has been addressed to his highness prince Talleyrand :

Note.—The undersigned, the principal secretary of state of his Britannic majesty for foreign affairs has received from his royal highness the prince regent, orders to inform prince Talleyrand, and through him his most christian majesty, that so soon as the news was received in England that Bonaparte had surrendered himself to the naval forces of Great Britain; his royal highness immediately gave orders to cause all hostilities on the coast of France to cease.

The undersigned, communicates with the greatest pleasure to his royal highness prince Talleyrand, the copy of the orders given on this subject, and seizes this occasion to renew to him the assurances of his distinguished consideration.

(Signed)

CASTLEREAGH.

Paris, July 24, 1815
