Balan, counsellor of legation, Prussian foreign ministry

Order: following Zerboni's proposal, Schöler in St Petersburg is to be instructed to bring the Prince's wish to the Emperor's notice only in quite general terms, since it is purely a matter of grace. The Prince is to be informed, in His Serene Highness's name, that his claim for compensation is being brought to the Emperor's notice through the royal legation.
