Σελίδα 339 - ... the past, as well as of the present, sentiments of the British Government. It has become therefore necessary to inform you, that the King has felt himself obliged to decline becoming a party to the measures in question.
Σελίδα 341 - ... them, or to interfere with the course which such States might think fit to adopt, with a view to their own security, provided only that they were ready to give every reasonable assurance, that their views were not directed to purposes of aggrandize.ment, subversive of the territorial system of Europe, as established by the late treaties.
