The following circular letter, dated 19th of June, sent by the Russian government to all its diplomatic ministers and agents, for the regulation of their conduct with regard to the foreign French ministers & ambassadors has lately appeared:
"All the relations of policy, commerce, and correspondence with France, which was interrupted in consequence of the revolution in that country, have not yet been re-established in their full extent; but as at the present moment negociations are going on to effect a reconciliation with that power by every means consistent with the dignity of the emperor, and the interests of the people, his majesty has been pleased to charge his ministers to apprize his foreign ambassadors and agents, that he is willing to renew the usual course of connection with that government, and that the conferences respecting that object are in full activity.
"In the situation in which this matter stands, therefore, it is no longer proper that the ambassadors of his Imperial majesty should continue to observe any distance towards the ambassadors of the French government. It is therefore enjoined to you, sir, on all occasions to testify the ordinary and becoming respect for them which is usual between the ministers of powers that are in good understanding with each other, and to communicate with them on all occasions in which the interest of our most gracious sovereign may be concerned."
"PRINCE A. KURAKIN."
The following circular letter has likewise been sent respecting the agents of the Batavian republic!——
"As the emperor on his accession to the throne, found that the Batavian republic was recognized, and that a minister from the same had been accredited by the emperor his father, his majesty has thought it his duty not to innovate in the least upon their proceedings. As this resolution of the emperor, however, removes all the reasons of hostility, and the grounds of further interruption of correspondence between the two governments, you are therefore directed to communicate with the ministers of the said republic, who reside where you are respecting every object of policy, commerce or other relation, in which the interest of the service of the emperor, your master, is concerned.
I am,
A. KURAKIN."
