Rescrit autographe que j'ai reçu de feu l'Empereur, le 2 Février, 1822, en réponse à la Lettre que je Lui ai écrite pour renoncer à la succession au Trône Impérial, Lettre qui avoit été présentée à Notre Mère et honorée de Sa part d'un assentiment qu'Elle a daigné me confirmer Elle-même, ma résolution irrévocable de Vous céder mes droits à la succession au Trône Impérial de Toutes les Russies. Je prie en même temps notre Mère bien-aimée de faire connoître à qui il appartient, mon inébranlable volonté à cet égard, afin qu'elle soit duement mise à exécution.

Après cette déclaration, je regarde comme un devoir sacré de prier très-humblement Votre Majesté Impériale, qu'Elle daigne accepter de moi, tout le premier, mon serment de sujétion et de fidélité, et me permettre de Lui exposer que n'élevant mes vœux vers aucune nouvelle dignité, ni aucun titre nouveau, je désire conserver seulement celui de Césaréwitsch, dont j'ai été honoré pour mes services par feu notre Père.

Mon unique bonheur sera toujours que Votre Majesté Impériale daigne agréer les sentimens de ma plus profonde vénération et de mon dévouement sans bornes, sentimens dont j'offre comme gage plus de trente Années d'un service fidèle et du zèle le plus pur qui m'a animé envers Leurs Majestés les Empereurs, mon Père et mon Frère, de glorieuse mémoire. C'est avec ces mêmes sentimens que je ne cesserai, jusqu'à la fin de mes jours, de servir Votre Majesté Impériale et ses descendans dans mes fonctions et ma place actuelles.

Je suis avec la plus profonde vénération, &c.,
CONSTANTIN.
