IV A PRIVATI LETTER TROD AN OF/ICil Or DISTINCTION IN TNA IAN,ARMT, LATELY DISRANDED. Nara/With Augua 20. 'am The feelings are ton painful for expreffian, with which every loyal and true hearted Hanoverian now contemplates the theme and ruin of his country. We blame equally the irrefolute weaknefs of our Go vernment, and the people's failure to aid and infpi. rit its efforts, while preparation and refittauce were not too late. Early in the prefent year, there was a general fur picion of difagreement between France and England, Such as could not terminate but in war. Before the middle of March lag, the Cabinet Council of the Hanoverian Government received information from the Kirin of Gite•r BRITAIN, that the French Ru lers meditated an invafion of the EleCtorate. And his Majelly, at the fame time, authorized and exci ted his Eleeloral Minillers to adopt, without delay, every means of vigorous and prudent defence. We were not without powers of defence equal to the magnitude of the danger. But the adminiftration was not formed of materials to bring thole powers into the neceffary arrangement and aCtion. The firth Cabinet Militia,. was Count KILMANIROGI, a man indolent, , polite, humane, convivial, valiant to he roans in words againft the French, but who placed his perfcßion as a Minifter rather in affidnities, flat teries, and lubmillinns grateful to the Hanoverian Minilter, and the Secretary at the Court of London, than in a watchful energetic difcharge of the proper duties of his office. Mr. Vow Lettrite, the fecond Minifler, had the charge of communicating to the Kiwo the willies of his Eleftoral fubjeds, and of conveying to the Ha noverian Government the immediate orders of his Sovereign. His duty was, to be in attendance at (the Britilh Court. He was the nephew of a former lira Minifter ; was, in his earlier political career, ambaffador, for force time, at the Court of Berlin, and acquired there a paflion for the civil and mili tary inititutions peculiar to Pruffla, which has been the guiding principle of his conduit ever fence be was employed in the internal government of this country. He is plain in his manners, without fplen , did talents or fad feienee, of honeß intentions, but haughty to his inferiors—to his Superiors fubmiffive even to fervility. Vow AexiMALD, the Third Minifler, though an able lawyer, was deficient in the talents, temper, and political prudence which his place in the Cabinet teemed obvioully to demand. He came into this • country without fortune. His marriage with the daughter of a Minifter railed him in official employ ' ment. He had amaired confiderable wealth. He was not underftood to eft, in the Cabinet, any other than a fubmitfive feeoadary part. A man of there qualities was neceffarily unpopular. Vow DER DEIREN, the Fourth Minifter, had the charafter of an honeft, laborious man, of mean Ca pacity. He was not hated by the people ; nor did he, like the others, flee the country at the approach of the French. The indulltious Mr. Vow GROTE became a Cabi net Minifter only when the Rom was jult burfting over our heads. He had not grown in the confidence and efteem of his country by his conduit in the ma nagement of the Luneburgh (alt-works. But there were, in oftenfible rank, our chief Ca binet Minifters • the principal effative power was in the hands of the Privy Cuunfellor Vow Ruoior.— Vow RVOLOF is a bold and crafty man, with abili ties whicit might claim dillinetion, if not fmothered in Self-conceit. or if aided in their curare by fairer moral reputation. He had ellablifhed hits afeendency over the minds of the other Cabinet Minifters, by the force of his talents, and the mallerly art of his al drefs. In law, and in the prattice of the affairs of the Diet at Ratifbon, he is confummately fkilful. In politics he is but a child. He was overwhelmed with debts by the extravagant expence of his living. By his collards, the fears, expeetations, and vigilance of the Government were, fpite of every warning, lulled to Deep, till the frafon for ufeful alarm and prepare tion had fatally palled. He fled from the hatred and vengeance of his country, when the French entered its confines. The other Minißers were the attendants rather than companions of his flight. The threats of popular iniignation prevented his retreat to Lau enburg. He took refuge for a time under the pro tation of the fmali garrifon of Ratzcburg. After an interview with Field.Marfhal WAL1401:11111, on the tomb of Enthissrisove (the famous German fool), he retired with the other Miniflers to a left derv rous exile in a foreign land. However free from enormous guilt, howeyer Su perior to the lowa meannefs incapacity. t was not puiflible that Miniftere like there (koala have that forefight, that union, that viligance, that energy of counfel and exertion, that influence of perfuation and efteem over the minds of their fellow-country men, which the exigencies of the feafon moll forci bly required. Even after the Rises of GILA? BRITAIN had warned his Hanoverian Miniflers of the probability of an invafion of the country from France, they re mained obitinately incredulous of their danger. Mr. Cnunfellor RODEOS infilled. that he had much better information. Not one of the Cabinet would be per loaded, that it was in the chat-alter of Bo TR to violate that fecurity and independence of the German Empire, which he had pretended to confecrate from every attack. They evinced as much real or pre tended ignorance of the genuine Spirit of French po licy, as if 'that had belonged only to Tome fabulous age, or to fame region not yet certainly difeovered. While the French army was advancing to the fron tiers of the Dutch Provinces, when dettination againft Hanover was already known throughout Europe. Mr. Rumor Rill contrived to petfuade the Cabinet, that all the world but himfelf wait in pal pable error. A meeting of the States in the dillria of Calen burg, in the beginning of May, prefented an Addrefs to the Government, intimaling their alarm for a French invafion, their zeal for the freedom of their country, a eir forwardneft to meet any attack from abroad, with all the force of the diftrift that could be muttered in arms. Root .l r. thus preffesi, at left ceafed to deny the poffibility of an attempt from France. Endeavours were then ufed, to interei the Court of crlia in the protation oldie freedool cif Hanover. They were vain. PrufGalin adheres to the crafty policy of the Great FREDERICK, but has utterly tallen from the grandeur of his views, and from his generoftty of military effort. Pruflia, al. ready won to favour the defigns of the FIRST Cow• SVL, met every folicfration with fcornful coldnefs.— The Hanoverian Minifters were reduced to decide between unprepared oppofition, and a fubmiflion without one effort of refiftance. With fcarce 13,000 men, they refolved manfully to refift thewholc ftrength of France. V And yet, ir, at the head of that 13,ciao men there bad been a General of ardent patrintifm, bold talents and military Ikill, the refolution might have been left ridiculous—hut, with every relpeft for the cha rafter of Field Marfhal WaziannEN Gr. mane -4, it is impoffible to claim for him the reputation of a man fit to command the armies of his country in any great crisis of its fate. His birth was, on one fide, royal. He is nearly allied to the Family of his Sovereign. In the Seven Years War he ferved as Colonel of a Regiment under Prince FERDINAND of Brunfwick.— He obtained Coon after the Hanoverian Regiment of Life Guards, and was fent Ambalfador to the Im perial Court at Vienna. From that Court he return ed to Hanover not long before the Revolution in France. In 1793, he was, with Come reluflance on ' the part of Field Marfhal FR RITAC, honoured with a command in the Hanoverian army. In 1794, after the Doke of Young retreat. he fupplanted FREITAG. and was exalted to the chief command. His fira ads, after the fubfequent death of Fitsurac, are laid to have difappointed the jut' hopes of many a gallant grey haired officer, by the unespe&ed arbitrary reduc tion of two old regiments, of which the foldiers were incorporated in other regiments. His other innova tions on the military fyflem of Hanover, are Paid to have reduced the army of the Eleflorate into a con dition fo diforderly and ineffeelire, that, ‘%hr.n the moment of danger arrived, the troops were utterly unfit to take the field without the advantage of a new organization. Such arrangements by the Com mander in Chief excited the generardifcontent of the foldiery. Frequent defertions enfued. The promo tion of a Mr. Von Lows to the injury, in particular, of a Lieutenant Colonel S TAvan Noa sr, an exeellent officer, who then left the fervice, provoked a very general diffatisfallion of the'officers. Military me rit was dircouraged, while thofe were the moft ra pidly promoted who were the meaneft in an un.offi eer-like fervility to the Commander in Chief. The adminidration of the Chancery of War was, at the fame time, intruded to men whom the army could view only with abhorrence and contempt. By the negli gence of the Chancery, amount, due from England, are underflood to have been, contrary to the Kinct's intention, withheld from the army, till, by the events of the French in• ration, they are loft for ever. In the beginning of May the Cabinet began its preparations. An attempt was made to raife the people in a mars againft the French. The people univerfally refufed to obey the call. Every City, every commonalty, with a boldnefs of condemna tion again!! the Government, with ftriking timidity towards the French. with a cold blooded indifference in regard to their country's independence. protefied again([ the demanded levy. The Minifters, the Field Marfhal. could not refill the general voice. They wilted to avoid the appearance of yielding ; and they gave out that the propofal fora /mar astfp bad been only to arcertain the number of the fighting men in the country. The people derided alike their autho rity and their pretences. To mire recruits for the troops of the line was the next refource ; z too men were propofed to be added to every regiment of in fantry. The recruits, undifciplined, unclad, unarm ed, as yet fit only to introduce confulion into a regu. oar army. were heftily added to the troops of the line. WALMODIN. feting how impeded an army he had to ma with, fhrunk from the impotence of command; and the Duke of Carssaitscx, a name much dearer to the (oldiers, was induced to affume his place.— There were a generous gallantry and rafhnefs in this condo& of that illuftrious Prince. He haftened to Nienburg, the place filed for his head quarters. Not 3000 troops were there affembled. With every ex ertion, he could not mufter more than aOOO difciplin ed troops. The ref *ere raw recruits, in whom there was no confidence to be placed in a war of boas, or in the field of general combat. With the hereditary courage of his family, he was fill willing to rifle the loft effort of a battle. He made the necef fary difpnfitions for an engagement, in 'the night be. tween the ad and 3d of June. I (peak here of events of which I was an eye withers. His ardour was again frustrated. The Minifters had fent a deputation to treat with General Moa Tr BR. VON Boca, Von Bit a am, and BRANDI{ accepted. with Come hefitation, the Convention which the French General chofe to didate. It was figaed at Suhlingen, on the 3d of June. The ignominy and the uncertainty of its con ditinns are but too well known. It difarmed our oppolition to the French, ;nd delivered us up, bouncla itito their hands. The Duke of CAMBRIDC a immediately relinquills ed a command, in which no glorious military deed was now to be atchieved. 'Wazatopsit pot himfelf again at the head of the army, as it was no longer to he led againft an enemy. In its retreat to the Elbe, it was ineumbered with the new levied and undifciplined re:ruits. It march was in extreme con. fufion ; many remonarances against the pretence of inch an undifciplined rabble were made, befote the General could be perfuaded to difmifs them. Orders to provide for the fufienance of the troops beyond the Elbe had (carrel,' been given when they paired that river. They formed then, in all, a body of between t 3,000 and ta,ooo men, incumbered with their baggage. Victuals for the men were, however, obtained with dif f iculty ; but of ftrage for the hones, there was a miferable want. Beyond the Elbe, the head quarters were at Latien• Lag; the hapital, at Molln. The artillery and the cavalry occupied feparate camps: e l'he light dra goons and the infantry were feveridly chfperfed through certain villages. The whale military force was held together in one ailemhlage, not necetlary for any defeufive ufe, and inconvenient equally to the men themfehes, and to the inhabitants of the difitie. The French did not, far the prefent, ap proach nearer, than that si fmall detachment of twenty.fix men occupied Artlenburg, within about fix days after we had paffed tlii Elbe. It was evgn then eafy to difcern, that the treaty of Suhlingen was of mach too brittle a texture. ' Yet the regular meafures of refiaance. if it fhould not be ratified, were by tome finality, delayed. The territory of Lauenberg could not yield fubfiftence even to our (mall army. Money was not to be found. Yet we remained inert and unproviding. as if in expeeta. tion that we fhould be fed with quails and nianna from Heaven. On the z4tb of June, k was known that the Flan Cousin. had refuted to ratify the Convention; that the army of Morrie& was in rapid march againft us; that additional troops were advancing to join that army from Holland. The General then at length conceived a tranfient fcheme of obflinate re. fulance. But regular batteries were not erected. There was nothing more than an incenfiderable in. , trenchment thrown up at the left wing. The whole number of the troops did not exceed 11,000 ; but there were, for the moment, inflamed with the Lold. ell Ardour of honour, patriotifm, and courage.— The local ciretunflances of the fcene were exceed. ingly in their favour: and never has a fairer oppor tunity been 1011, of atchieving, with a handful c: men, the moll admirable enterprifes of defenfiv: valour. Had Marfhal WALsionts been Ready in his refolutions of refillance, had be taken the men. lures the moll necefrary to fatisfy the troops that he was indeed fincere, had he (corned all advances to ignominious treaty ; there was nothing which might not have been hoped from the confcious valour that then roofed his troops to a&lon. The fubfequent negociatimw, and their difhononrable Prue, are known. He had in the mean time loft the confidence of his troops. They thought that they were barely betrayed. They taw with uncon. tmulable indignation, that no- meafures were taken to prevent the French from moving freely In vcflels ' upon the Elbe. On the night of the ad of July, the difcontents arofe to mutiny in the camp of the ca. valry. The Hoife Lifi Guards, the Bulow's regi. ment of horfe, and the life regiment, joined in the revolt. It was with difficulty appealed by the fide. lity of the other troops, and by the refolutton of the gallant and much-eßeemed Prince of Scuwatrzt. suaa. Marlhal WALMODIII haftened from his bead. quarters at the news of the inforration. Ere be appeared before the mutinous troops their rebellion had ceakd. The neat moment, the mutineers reffeßed, with indignant thame, on their error. It was regarded with horror by the tall of the army. Had the whole troops been led. next day, to battle, it is not to be doubted but they would have fought with ren-fbld refolution and intrepidity. General Watmones only took oceafion from the mutiny to agree to new convention on di(honourab } e terms. His army bad no choice. But their fenfe of the difltoeour of the tranfaftion was weU ezpreffed in the words of a gallant officer to Colonel Von Lows, chief of the fluff Now, Sir, you may make yourfelf eafy, • fine you kn ow that your crazy bones will not be • crake.' by a cannon-ball." 'thus fell the independence of Hanover. A Go• vernment, not pofitively bad, yet feeble, irrefolt a r and incapable to roufe the energies, or coinm the confidence of the people ; a General without heroic cptalities o; eminent military experience; a people, cold, mf th. and indifferent to the pro.
