ANSWER. TO THE kINO OF PRIJ3SIA's MANII (Publifbed by the Freuek Oovernmeet.) " The King of Proffia, upon fuddenly taking up arms againft France, thought it incumbent on him to retrace to all Europe—the fats which made it hii duty to do fo." His Majefty hat idled very wifely ; 1 for all Europe was ignorant of the grievances of Proffitt. " His Majefty fete onkby• declaring, that French policy had for fifteen' years been the tcourge of hu manity." By going fo far back for the motives of his difcon tent, his Majefty the King of Proffitt gives France a' right to remind hint how he was the fir ft to abandon the caufc of Kings in 1792, with what indignity the defenders of the throne were treated io his own camp —and how his defettion was the fir& fooftion of to "dangerous a change. Certainly, when neither the punithmertt of Lewis XVI. nor the expullion of the Stadtholder, a relation of his Pro flan Majeily, nor the incalion of H4llap4, which Pruflia looked upon as a family property. elk other conquefts, nor in fine the progrefeot a Pftleth which menaced all Monarchies, were able tolhake the friendfhip that Pruffie then bore to France. when her Ambaffador, preceding all others, was teen to fit at thole civic banquets in which the deßruttion l of Kings was (worn, the affeeion of Proffia might be thought proof againß every thing. If fo manyl motives could not alter for sto intlant her connecsi flocs with France, the grievances which now drivel ber into a more dangerous war mutt alio be of a more fcrious nature, and connelled with more important coofideration The Kong - of Pruffe has jolt enabled Europe to judge of them. People will be allonithed to fee, that in a Paper which thoold treat only of the relations or refpcitive interefts of Fiance and Prulfm, the Cabinet of Berlin Ihould lay a fuels only upon grievances which arc foreign to it, and Mould confider as perfonal inju ries, agstrandifementt made over Ptiwers whom it might have moreitafficeeioufly fuccoured if it had thought them unjuft. Now that the difputes between France and Aultria are regulated ; now that the fate of Italy, Soi,xerland, and Holism', is fixed, the recriminations of Pruffla are as wanton as they are ufelels. France at firß wifhed only for peace—but her fafety required that the fhould make allies of coun tries which the might keep as canoodle. Her ene mies Rill confpiting againft her, forced her to 'fume new advantages.- The King of Proffra has teen the efforts which were unceafingly renewed aping her—he has often acknowledged the legitimacy of the means which the took for her defence. Having had in view only the availing hianfelf of the weakening of the bellige rent parties, or felling his inallion ' it illhecomes him to complain at this day of the effeCts of a fyltem which he encouraged. The wars of the three coali tions were foreign to him; be has no right to revive r grievances. Lithe policy of France has been a fcourge to Eu rope,. Europe may accufe him of having been the accomplice of it—his declarations and his regrets, I were they well.founded, would leave him only the Dime of having fetn the good cattle, and the cowar dice of having betrayed However, at the period in queßion (November, Pruffia witted to ad the part of blediatrix dt Europe—the pretended to be the rampart of the Powers of the N. rib. To hear the complaints fhe ailedges at this day, it would teem that the was more offended than the others. A coalition was formed iii the midi of peace, Proffie figured in the difctif. IPion of the interefts, but did not appear in the field of battle. It was announced every moment. At Lon don the oppufition cried out, that Auftria and Ruf fle could do nothing ufeful without the co-operation 1 of Pruffia, and the Iclinillers gave more than hopes; at Vienna and St Peterlburgh, they gave pofitive aG rances of it—at Berlin, the very affeting interview lof the Emperor Alexander and the King, left no doubt of a fpeedy co-operation. But chilli the Pia :Min Cabinet was bargaining, the war began by thun- Ides claps, and the fate of Auttria was already de- Aided under the walls of MM. It was then that a French divifion patted, rapidly, over the territory of Anfpath, with the molt friendly character, and without leevingthe kali traces of vio lence, from the Cole neceffity of executingrnovements upon which the fafety of the army depended. Never did any pottage, executed with that tranquil lity, excite any thing more than explanations be tween friendly Powers. Auftria and Ptllllll have often given the example of it. Aultria had frequent. ly marched troops acrufs the mare' territory of Ba varia, to feud them into the Tyrol and Italy. What gave the lag imitation of Bavaria *decided charafter of violence anti hanky, was, that it was followed by contributions, by forced incorporations of the Bavarian army, &c.; but nothing of the kind had taken place upon the territory of Anfpoch. However, Profile, who pretends to have fo many other grievances to let forth, looks on this as a grofs affront. a decifive rearm His halloo Majefty ap pears determined to plunge his whole nation into the horrors of war, becaofe a finall corner of a territory, far removed from her States, was trodden by the honks of the French army : and he then declarer , to France that all his engagement: with ber are cr . folved le maim his army tale an attitude jititahk to circuits. fimices—." It may be readily ken why the King of Pruffia fuddenly becomes fo ticklifh upon bit neutrality, till then he hid been feeretly pleated at the loffes of a .paramount, whom he chofe to look upon as a rival Power; he had tineetely Moored for the humiliation of Aaßria. But now he trembled at the afcendant which fifteen years of mina wars and glorious victo ries had given the Frillch power. Yet who woulsi 1 IFRSTO, 1711URSIMV:; DrCEMBEWII; Mos think that, in the mida of the exaggerations of hie anger, and notwithfkanding the conviction which the, Cabinet of Berlin had of its importance, its 'OW, policy could have got the better of that injutliee., which it thought it could not swath away bdt in reifeti of French blood ? At the moment when it was thought he was marching to the field Of havtlek,Ri! e'er!, rays the Manifefto, so Ax coaljied to k the Arew of Peace. But from the habit of a cnntlant contracitc tion between what he does, and what he declares, he fecretly fubfcribes, on the 3d November,. an engage ment to units his forces to thufe of the Ruaanoncl, Außrians. This engagement was certainly a great political I error; but there are circumllances in which even errors themfelves announce courage, and in which; like certain reverfes, they are not without honour. No doubt, had this engagement been faithfully per formed, had PrulTia immediately marched her army , forward, France might-have complained of fn great a lightnefs in her engagements, of Co quick and an. founded an irritation, and of fo bidden a change ; but at leaß it way a frank war, and courage would have decided it. However, the King of Prtillia was circtunfpeCt. The dangers which he Dill law in the execution of his vengeance, moderated his impatience., The grand viaorious army marched againft Vienna,' but another French army then menaced Franconia,. and whatever weight PrtitGa may with to attach to . the refolution which Ate might have taken, the fate of France did not, at that time, depend on her policy, . 'I has her ufual pfndence got the better. Thet'a again appeared this time in the midll •of the Belligel rent Phwers,only an Ambafador intlead of an army} , and this Ambaffador, the 4 viitnefs of a decitive vic- tory, arrived there only to fign an alliance, and nets the Treaty of Pretburgh. Hitherto PeutiNa had• nothing petfonal to all*, againft France, but the paffage over the territory of Anfpach. She made beefelf rn word, the champion of thole who atked of her thions ; the prefented her fell upon the Rage when there were no more actors. She willed to effect an overawing part ; but the met with the mortification of being difavowed by all the Powers in a part which did not fait her. It ill be came her indeed to attempt to dilate laws when the would not fight, and to plead for thole whom the re. fufed to defend. " After this wavering conduft, (he, however, reaped great advantage from a quarrel into which the had not ecteted, and from a peace decided only by vidory. She offered and exchanged three (mall provinces of her dominions against a permiffion to take Hanover, long fince the object of her deGree, and which lay fo convenient to her hand. She dares not avow it at this day I the infix lightly. as over live cinders, over this conceLiGon which the winced for and folicited,and upon which France never tlipulatecL any thing further than a /41, fairy (let hu do it.) However, Pruffia directly got the country adminif. tercil in her name ; the every where let up her arms ; the railed taxes an exercifed all the privileges of fit voreignty. By this fad alone the was at war with England, as by her pretentions upon Swedills Pome rania, the had armed against Sweden. From the friend of France, Prullia was become her ally, and had promifed to fupport her interefs. She was to begin by fuming hew ports againit the eternal ene mies of France. But at the moment when every thing commanded her to have at length a frank and deciftve policy, Pruffia allowed, to the great allonith- I meat of Europe, a fill more equivocal and hypocri tical attitude. Her ports were blockaded, armies were drawn up in the pretence of each other, and did not yet know whether they were at war. After eaercUing for feveral numbs the rights of fovereigmy in Hanover, the King of Pratte began to tefify to the King of England that he regretted his being forced to keep his pattimony. At preterit he feems to will; only for a temporary My" and WO fkall loon fee that the moil violent of his grievances is, that England prnpofed peace to France upon the hafts of this very reflitution which the King of PruOia appears fo much to &fire. Never was any enigma more difficult to be refolved. The Cabinet of Perlin complains that the treaty of Freiburg was entered into in favour of France.— This, indeed, is a very iltange reproach 1 Is not the ufual effect l of vitlory to fecure advantages to the conqueror ? Was France. upon coming out of a ttruggle in which her ruin had been cnnfpired. to ;,, ve her enemies the means of renewing the Gave and bringing back the fame calamities ? owever. thefe enemies recovered almofkall they bad 14. France contented hetfelf with what was toylike to guarantee her glitzy and their tranquil. lily, whereas the leagued Kings [hared among them. (elves her (polls even before they took the field.— The mcafires then taken by the Emperor Napoleon had for their object only a fad peacr, and even an honourable one to the vatquilhed. Other conque rors keep their conquefis ; he made the aicendant of his arms terve only for the good of his allies and the fafcty of other potentates. The treaty of Freiburg contained the elements of a political organifation mute analogous to the intcrefis of the rcfpeelive States of Germany. Their free will laid the bails of it. The arrangements made fubfequcnt to the treaty of Freiburg, were poly combinations judged neceliary to fecure their execution, and as it were the fruits of the willies and meditations of a great part of Germany ; theft arrangements required a degree of legitimacy and folentnity ftill greater than if they had been only fnatched by viftory. The Elec tors detached themfelves from the Germanic body, and the Emperor of Aufiria had a tight to abdicate a title which, for half a century pall, has been only a fource of con'ratieties and occafion of wars for his Houfe. This affair was quite foreign to Priaa i who had often given the example of dcfceion, and of e permanent rebellion against her paramount head.— Nothing can be more pleafant than to hear the King of Prutfia fo kindly pitying the defiration of a dig nity which he Cu long laboured to render a mete mockery, the prerogatives of which he continually I PILICH 51X•PSVCA . , oppoted. and the humiliations and difallers of which : Inahad,feetetly encouraged.

They. waited only for a favourable, moment ; they withed to catch the lion afleep ; thus France could only rely on herfelf; they jot (VW be.. forehand every thing they would have done for her fa t uity. However, nothing of all that the might have done did the do. The protection which the a year alley had given to the Confederacy of th e Rhi ne , was a Mcrifice to the common fafety. Thi s p a d, freely contented to, did not concern Prutria : it took noshing from het; it encroached neither upon her rights nor '- upon her territory, which the found to be it:created without her having drawn her ( word . The sectary igtievances which the feta forth bead* the great We eaf! of Europe, are trifles which betray the weaknefs lit her radians. The pecuniary indemnity which (be Ititlicited for the Prince of Orange ' was only a private asegotiation ; the loft of the three Abbeys might have been compenfated; ,the union of Wefel to the French 'Empire was a free cellion in which PrufGa had no :right to meddle. Betides, the had Jolt complained. that the confederate Princes were only valfals of France ; in het-reafoning, the union of Wefel made no alteration in the (late of thing,. Moreover, his Majelty the King of Pruffla pees fo lightly over thole grievances, that they are not de (ming of a ferious refutation. He expatiates more at large upon the reflitution of Hanover, and upon the obdacles thrown in she way of a Confederacy of the North. He feels the futility of the reit ;he wil lingly abandons all foreign entered ; but thefe two grievances are inftipportable. Ire are drawing sear tits • moment cutieb determined bit Maki,. We have already ken the King of Pruffia, after '..takiog poffeMoo of Hanover as its Sovereign. mea guriog beck his Reps, and looking upon it only as a temporary property. He cow got himfelf intreated 'to keep it definitively. He wilted to have the air of paying homage with it to the Cabinet of St. James's, with which he was already engaged in the negotia tion. Upon this well known difpnfition. the Cabinet of St. Cloud might have made the fame overtore.— It was (till but a limple proonfoiaa, a matter to be difcuffed ; the only quenion was to find a compertfa tion. Hitherto nothing wounded the honour of Prof fia. She had (hewn, or, to (peak more truly, affeded fo much repugnance to a definitive polfeffion. that 'one Ruff have thought it rendering her a great fer. vice to difembarrafs her of this temporary load. ' Again, nothing can be more ft range than to fee alledged as the principal motive of a war, evidently excited by England, a reitinttion which one wifhed to make to his Britannic Majerly. Suppoling that the King of Proffitt hoped to hold this province from the generality of its former poireffors, titre would fens to. prove what ficrifices the Englith G rvernment is capable of making, when it is in contemplation to `(read conflagration throughout the continent. •Aa to the projed of the Confederacy of the North, it fo much flattered the pride of the King of Profile. that it for a long time concealed from him theslanger of the Confederacy of the Rhine. Upon viewing the fovereien pro•edion which he witted to eau cife over his equals as a new dignity, one might wonder at the pride of this pretention. and alk by what exploits it I had bees infpired, upon what rights it was founded ? The Rhinith Confederacy had appeared occelrary to Put an end to the inteiline diffentions, of which Ger many had been the theatre for nearly two centuries, to tegulate interens till then irreconcileable, and to put the Princes who compote it under the potation to which they had always been forced to recur. But Pruilia had nothing plaufible to allctige for extending her influence over Independent States; they were not menaced; the had never drawn her (word foe their defence ; her domination was MA oecefary to their Glary. If her aim was to oppofe a rival Confederacy to that of the Rhine, it was preparing eternal wars, and removing Europe from the pacific end which had been the objed of the one formed under the protedion of the French Empire. The Hanfe Towns, which have fn long been the envy of Prutlia, are indebted to France for their in. dependence. They are the emporiums of the trade of Europe; but until trade become the cr /Imola property of 4 11 nations, it is important that it be un der the protedion and immediate obfervatioo of the Power charged to dedroy commercial defpotilin ... Such then were the real grievances of Pruda.— Her claims were fo long veiled under friendly forms, that the Emperor Napoleon mull have mittaken them. But at length the masagemeat the affected to wards the Cabinet of St, James's, the negotiations which fhe refumed with RufGa, the fecret intrigues which were naively carried on among the courtiers of both fens fold to the intereas of England. the putting the PrulEan army upon an extraordinary footing of war, and above all the obßinacy With which the King of PrufGa infiGed upon the (vacua. flan of Germany before the complete execution of the Treat y of Preiburg—all this raved to open the eyes of Prance.
