Hawkesbury a Vorontsov

Downing-street, february i3, 1802.

I have the bonour to acknowledge tbe receipt of your Eccellency's letter of tbe ioth instant, and will lay it before the King. In the meantime, 1 think it incumbent on me to state that his Majesty has already provided for Monsieur and his two sons, for the three princes of the Orléans branch, for the prince of Gondé and for the duke of Bourbon. It seems therefore but reasonable to expect that his Majesty, having contributed so largely and exclusively to tbe support of the younger branches of tbat illustrious House, the other Powers of Europe should concur in a suitable arrangement for Louis the eighteenth.
