St. Petersburgh January 8th 1802

The Right Honorable Lord Hawkesbury

My Lord

The Russian minister concur entirely with your Lordship in the opinion that nothing effectual can be obtained from France through the intervention of the Ottoman Porte; and I presume therefore that that project will be entirely laid aside. However they are becoming daily more sensible of the mischievous consequences that are likely to result from the annexing of Piedmont to the French Dominions…

It is also in agitation here, to propose to the several powers which have guaranteed the newly established government of the Ex-Venetian Islands, to concur in a joint system of measures for securing the tranquility of that Republic and relieving it from its present state of dependence under the Ottoman Porte.
