ADVERTISEMENT.

This Publication is intended to comprize the principal Documents which have been made public, relating to the Political and Commercial Affairs of Nations, and to their Relations with each other, from the termination of the War in 1814 to the latest Period.

The Work was formerly printed, exclusively for the use of the Government, and of its Diplomatic Agents Abroad: but the general interest attached to these Collections has led to its Publication.

The Volumes published FOR SALE, previously to the present Volume, are those for 1817–1818; 1818-1819; 1819–1820; 1828–1829; 1829–1830 ; 1830– 1831 ; 1831–1832; and 1832–1833. The intermediate Volumes, between the Volume for 1819–1820, and that for 1828-1829, will be reprinted for the same purpose.

The present Volume will form Vol. IV. of the entire Series.
