Excerpt from Life and Times of Alexander I, Vol. 2 of 3: Emperor of All the Russians A manifesto was published September lst at St. Petersburg to announce the conclusion of peace with France. It stated that owing to the exertions made by the Russian tr00ps and by all classes of the nation, the war was brought to such an issue that important acquisitions might have been obtained; but as this could only be at the expense of an ally, his majesty thought it beneath the dignity of the Russian Empire to accept them, and therefore contented himself with securing in some measure the frontier of Russia.
