Thiers has erred in assigning importance to a mere first draft of a conversation which Czartoryski had with that ingenious schemer, the Abbe Piatoli.  The official proposals sent from St. Petersburg to London were very different; e.g., the proposal of Alexander with regard to the French frontiers was this:  “The first object is to bring back France into its ancient limits or such other ones as might appear most suitable to the general tranquillity of Europe.”  It is, therefore, futile to state that this was solely the policy of Pitt after he had “remodelled” the Russian proposals.]
