The following declaration of the Empress of all the Russias, is handed about at Hamburgh by way of answer to the proposals made, relative to a general peace.
THAT a peace seemed to be at a great distance, as there was no other foundation for it than the pacific disposition of his Britannick Majesty: that her Imperial Majesty is determined to fulfill her engagements, and to persist most religiously in the treaty entered into with her allies, and to procure, as far as lies in her power, full satisfaction for the unfortunate. But notwithstanding, in order to put a stop to the effusion of Christian blood, if means could be found to establish an honourable and lasting peace, with the consent and approbation of her allies, the Empress of Russia would be of the first to put her hand to so salutary a work.
