The exiaing nate of the Aullrian Monarchy, and of the Porte, had been mutually guaranteed. The Emperor Napoleon certainly wished that Prui Ca ibould be bound by this guarantee, for in his Land► it was an innt ument which he might employ *Obit. ed his politics, a pretext fur demanding &minces, in a contra which his ambition might occation. He Limfelf, however, did not nbferve it longer than it contributed to his interen. Ragas, though under the protation of the P"rte, was taken poffeffion of by his troops. GrAdifca and Aquileia were welted from Auttria, under nearly the fame pretexts which had been crapidifed when the French feized the duce Abbeys. In all political proceedings, it was naturally taken for granted. that the new States formed by France were States in the proper fenfe of the term. and not French Provinces ; but it coil the Cabinet of 4 Cloud only a word to deprive them of their rods. ;modem,. The appellation " The Great Empire," was Invented, and that empire was imtnediatcly only furrounded with Thus there was no trace of the Treaty left. yet Praia proceeded to (hut her ports agaltill Eng. land. and hill confidetad betfelf at having obliga• Lion► to fulfil. The Emperor at length informed his hfajefly, that it waN his pleaftne to did - dye the German Empire, and form a Conceder:,lion of the Rhine, and he re commended to the King to eaablifh a fimilar Conte• deration in the North of Germany. This was se. cording to his ctiflornary policy, a policy which had long :wen crowned with fuccefs : at the moment of the birth of any new projeft, to throw out a lore to thofe Courts which might occofion difficulties in the mention of fuch projed. The King adopted the idea of fuels a Confederation, not that the advice he received made the leatt imprellion on him, but be caulk, in rift, it was rendered neceffa►y by circuit:- Antes, and !mature, after the reaffirm of the Princes who had acceded to the Confederation of the Rhine, a dole union between thofe of the North became more than ever the condition of their fafety. The King took matures to eflablifh this lessens, hot on other principles from theirs of the model prerated to hint. He made it his pride to c Meet the la!' of the German under hie banner t tuft the rights of each he left onimpaired t and honour alone was bond of the leatne. But could France adrift the King to any ?mature which fhonld be proditetive of advantage to Nato ? WI (hall loon fst what is to be expeCtedi when France makes profeirmas of farms. • • lc re uuur In the firli plate,eare had been taken to ;furnace ' into the fundamental Ratute of the Confederation of the Rhine an article which contained the germ of all future innovations. * lt provided, that other Princes .. fhould be received into this Confederation, fhould they dente it: In this manner, all relations in Ger many were left indeterminate, and as the means were Rill referred to detach and annex to this league the weaker Elates, either by promifes nr threats, it was but too probable, that in time this Confederation would be extended Into the heart of the Pruffian Monarchy. And that this might no longer remain doubtful, but be manila to every one. the &II attempt was immediately made. Fortunately it was made on a Prince who knows not fear, and who confiders inde pendence as the higheft nhjth of his ambition. The French Minilter at Caffel invited the EleCtor to throw himfelf into the alms of his Maker. Prullia, it was alledged, did nothing for her allies I It is true Na poleon knows how to manage his better, and every one fees that Spain and Holland, the Kings of Witt temberg and Bavaria, have to thank their alliance with him for peace, independence, and honour.— Pruflia did nothing for her allies. Napoleon, on the contrary, would reward the acceffion of the Elefftori by an enlargement of his territory. And this was exercifed towards an ally, and at the very moment when the King was advifed to form an alliance, of which Hcfl was to be the &ft bulwark; endeavours were made to detach from him a Prince whom family conneEtions, alliances, and relations of every kind united in the clot& manner in his Majef: ty's perfon. But even there holt& Reps were not fufficient.— Dnes any one with to krinw what was the line by which it was hoped to gain the Elettor of Heffe, and what was the augmentation of territory with the expetlation of which he was flattered ? It was the Prince of Orange, the brother-in law of the King, that Prince who had been twice deceived in a moA flumelets manner, who was now to be robbed the third time. He Rill poffetTed the territory of Fulda. This was promifed to the Elector, and it would have been given, had the Elaine contented to accept it, and had not Pruflla taken up arms. His Majeßy law the fyflem of ufurpation advance every day. Hatay, a circle, continual!, becoming narrower, drawer round him, and evera l therhilat of moving within it begiping to be difpittpitv#6 . him, for a fsveeping reiblution forbade a pairliie to any foreign troops, armed or not arnaid A Airough the States of the Confederation. iris to cot off, contrary to the rights of nations, the conflation be tween the detached Hefllan provinces. This was to prepare a pretext on which to att. This was the fiat threat of punithment aimed at a magnanimous Prince who had preferred a defender to a mailer. But even after this—his Majefty cannot retie& nn it without admiration—the King confidered whether a combination might not be found which Mould len der this Rate of things compatible with the mainte nance of peace. The Emperor Napoleon appeared to be folicitous to remove this doubt. Two negotiations were then c trying on at Paris, one with Ruffin, the other with the Englith Minifiry. In both there negotiations the intentions of France againa PruCla were evidently manifelled. By the treaty which the Emperor of RufGa hat refuted to ratify, France offered, in eenjunEtion with Rums, to prevent Pruma from depriving the King of Sweden of his German territories. Yet for many months the Cabinet of Sr. Cloud had continually preffed the King to feize thole States, with the three fold view—firft, to revenge himfelf on the King of Sweden ; fecondly, to embroil Prullia with all other powers ; and thirdly, to purchafe her Menet with retpti to the fubverfion of Southern Germany.— But the King had long been aware that loch were the views of Fiance, and his unfortunate diipute with Sweden was painful to him. He had therefore been careful to provide againft every fufpicinn of felt in- 1 wetted motives, and he conided his explanations to the Emperor Alexander: The fcene now again changed, and Napoleon, who had to long been the enemy of the King of Sweden, was fuddenly trent- formed into his protean. It is not fuperfluous to remark that,ia this infidious treaty of the French Emperor, in order to fatisfy the honourable intei elt which the Court of St. Peed burgh took in the maintenance of the rights of the King of Naples, he promifed the latter an indemnifi cation, engaging to prevail on the King of Spain to cede to him the Balearic Wands. He will ail in the fame manner with refped to the angmentadonsof ter ritory he pretends to bellow on his allies. Thefe were all preludes to the Reps he took againft Pruffls—we now approach the moment which deter mined his Malay. Pruffia had hitherto derived nothing from her treaties with France, but humiliation and lots—one tingle advantage remained. The fare of Hanover was in her power, and in her power it mutt remain, °niers the la pledge of the tenuity of the North were annihilated. Napoleon had folemnly guaranteed this Rate of things. yet he negotiated with England on the befit of the reftoratirm of the Eletftorate. The King is in pnffeflion of the proofs. War was now in faa declared by every meafure taken by France. Every month produced a new no tification of the return of his army ; bet OS OM fii• volous pretext or another, it was fill continued in Germany, and for what purports f Gracious H&*. ViN ! to eradicate the kit trace of Sovereignty among the Germans, to treat Kings as Governors , appointed by himfelf ; to drag before Maher,' Tri bunals, Citizens only refponfible to their own Go. ternments ; to declare others outlaws who lived peaceably in Foreign States ander Foreign Sovereigns and ev,n in the capital of a German Emperor, be. caufe they had publiOtid writings in which the French Government, or at lest its delpetifm, wax attacked, and this at a time when that fame GJvertment daily permitted hired libellers to attack, under its protec. lion, the honour of all Crowned Heads, and the molt facred feelings of nations. There armies were in no manlier dirninifhed, but continually reinforced and *Oriented, and continually ad►anced nearer to the frontiers of PrufGa or her Allies, till they at length took a pofition, which co* only menace Pruifia. ' and were even affembled in force in Weftphalia, which certainly was not the road to the mouths of the Cattaro. It was no longer doubtful that Napoleon had de termined to overwhelm Pruffia with war, or to render her for ever incapable of war. fince he was leading het from humiliation to humiliation, till the fhonld be reduced to fuch a Rate of political degradation and feeblenefs, that, deprived of every defence, the could have no other will than that of her formidable neighbour. The King delayed no longer. He 7.ffembled his army. General Knobelfdorff was fent to Paris with the final declarations of his Majetly. Only one meafure remained which could give fatuity to the King, which was the return of the French troops over the Rhine. The time for difenifion was pall, though the Cabinet of St. Cloud appeared Rill defirous to protraa it. General Knoblefdorff had orders to infill on this demand. It was not the whole of the King's kill demands, but it was neeeffary that it Mould be the firil, Race it was the condition•of his future calf• tence. The acceptance or reinfal of it mull thew the real fentiasents of-the French Emperor. Unmeaning profeffions, arguments, the real value of which were known, by long experience, were the only an(wer the King received. Far from the French army being recalled, k was announced that it would be reinfoeced—but with a haoghtinefs Rill more re- ..... Tarkable than this tefufal, an off er w as ma d e t h at (he troops which had advancedinto Virellphaliafkonld return home, if Proffitt would della from her prep*. radon.. This was not all. It was infolently notified to the King's Minifters that the chin of Hambnre, Bremen, and Lubec, would not be fulfered to join the Northern Confederation, but that France would take diem under her prbtedion in the Came manner as in he other Confederation the had given away cities and promulgated laws, without permitting any other power to make the leaft pretenfion. The King was ntquired to (offer a foreign intereft to be introduced limo the heart of his Monarchy. Another contrail of . condu4t imaged the King to the utmofl. He re• calved from the Emperor a letter full of thefe RINI.- imeei of efteem which, certainly when they do not accord with faits, are to be confidered as nothing, but which the dignity of Sovereigns renders a duty to them 'hives even when on the eve of war. Yet a few day* afterwards, at a moment when the fword was nut yet drawn, when the Miniller of the Emperor endea voured to raiflead thole of the King by affurancee on affuranees, of the friendly intentions of France. the Pelditye of the 16th of September appeared with a diatribe againft the King and the Prugian nate, in a flyle worthy of the moft difgraceful periods of the revolution: infulting to the nation, and what in other times than ours would have been confidered as amours. ting to a declaration of war. The King can treat ganders that are merely abufive with contempt, but when thefe ganders contribute to explain the real (fate of things, it would be unwire to treat them merely with contempt. The left doubt had now difappeared ; troops marched from the interior of France towards the Rhine. The intent to attack nutria was clear and certain. The King ordered a Note to be tranfmitted by General KnoblzfdortF, containing the conditions on which be was ready to come to an accommoda tion. l'hefe conditions were-- That the French troops will Immediately evacuate Ger. many. 2. That Franee wroth! oppore. no obßacle to the formation of the Northern Confederacy ; and that the Confederacy might em brace in the larger and (molly State., not Included in the funda mental Adt of the Confederation of the Rhine . 3. That a negotiation Mould Immediately be commenced, for the adJuftment of all differences Rill in difpute; a preliminary ankle of which mould be the relloration of the Three Abbeys, and the reparation of the town of Weal from the French Empire. There conditinns fpeak for themfelves—they thew how moderate the King, even at this moment, has bun in his demands, and how ranch the maintenance of peace, if France willies peace, depends upon France herfalL Th.' Ina peremptorily fired by the King for the &Minn of pesos at war has elapfed.
