We hope that, together, the Great Powers can maintain the Concert of Europe and ensure prosperity for people of every nation across the continent. With this in mind, we ask the Ottoman Empire to invite the Kingdom of Italy to the Conference of Constantinople so that we may discuss key issues, especially those regarding the status of the Kingdom of Venice and the independence of the City of Rome. To the King of Italy, we hope that you will accept the Ottoman Sultan’s invitation, should he extend one to you. We have much to discuss at the conference, and believe that our issues may be resolved with the pen rather than the sword. To the Emperor of Russia, the Austrian Empire is very much interested in discussing the terms of an alliance. We are interested in maintaining peace on the continent, and therefore, propose a Non-Aggression Pact between our two nations. As long as this treaty stands, neither shall engage in armed conflict with one another and attempt to resolve disputes through peaceful negotiation. To the Queen of the United Kingdom, we are pleased to hear of your interest in ensuring peace in both Europe and abroad. Likewise to the French Emperor, it warms us to hear that the other Great Powers of Europe as concerned about maintaining the balance of power as us. We wish both of you well in this endeavor and have the Austrian Empire’s fullest cooperation in ensuring that there will be peace in Europe.
