permission to address myself in case of opposition to the
Empress herself. The best way of affecting this point he
supposed to be by advising to get such a permission, and
my answer was that it would be a very great honour
if her Majesty deigned to grant me such a permission
you will find it easy enough to conceive that the
man had rather have a Salamander in his house
than a man with such a permission in his Government.
The conclusion is that no stone will be left
unturned to get rid of me, not any outward mark
of the warmest friendship omitted to deceive me.
Should they succede as I shall have another string to my
bow I shall at any rate be assured & instructed.
I am fully persuaded that a desire her Majesty has to assist my match goes a
great way in disposing her many favour, and that she fully believes that it was
Love induced me to offer my services. In my letter to I speak of Siberia and
she offers me the direction of the wo mine & works at Olmitz 300 versts
only from Petersbourg; but at the same time gives me leave to choose
any other I please. Sir James has now settled the matter with
Besborotky by telling him the Empress is very to me
when the new English Minister is come and taken up the business
here, which he imagines will be in October; but till that time
I can not be at liberty enfin tout va au mieux

I have been to Zasso Zills to dine at Besborotky's and he has told me
himself what the Empress said in consequence of my letter. I do not remember
the terms of the Compliment she made me nor how it was she express
her radi desire of having me in her service; She said as Siberia
was a great way off it was probable that I should prefer a nearer
situation; that She imagined Plouitra
might answer my purpose: but
that any other I might have any other which I should like better.
