PARIS, MARCH II.
The official declaration which is to terminate the
Congress, is already in circulation among the di-
plomatists at Vienna. The following is the text
OF that important Document, which is attributed to
the celebrated Mr.. DE Cent? Secretary to the Con-
gress.


DECLARATION.


i lie european Powers have assembled at Y len
na, to consolidate the basis fixed by the peace of
Paris. The labour was as complicated as it was
dificait. IL was requisite to re-estabish what 2J
years OF anarchy had destroyed to reconstruct the
political edihce from its ruins to restore fallen
States; to circumscribe others within just limits
and to dispose of number of countries left vacant
by the suoverson of the Power by which they had
been overthrown. 1t was also requisite by wise
distribution of force among their principal States.
to prevent the preponderance of any particular
Power, and thereby obviate, the return of those
dangers which have recently instructed and aston
ished the world.


This magnificent object has been accomplished
great obstacles have been removed, delicate ques-
ions decided, and contradictory pretensons recon.
ced.


II the Congress has not eqnalled every expccta-
ton, satisfied the wishes, and consoed the msfor-
tunes which have weighed heavily on individuals
and nations; it. indeed it has not attained to that
ideal perfection which has been so often and so vain
y anticipated, it has at least fulfilled the various
duties devolved uponit, in regulating all those in
terets, the cellison Of which might again Involve
