PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. 14 We. Francis the First, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Bohemia, Lombardy, and Venice, Gallicia and Ledorairia, ice. Ace., Archduke of Austria. " In consequesce of the Treaties concluded with the Allied Pow ers, and fart - er Conventions concluded with them, the Prorinets J d and Venice, in their whole extent, as far as Logo Maggiore, the river T eine, and the I'o, together with part of the territory of Manful on the right bunk of the latter river, also the Province of the VeLeliti, the Counties of Chravenna and Bormio, arc incorpo rated w ith the Austrian Imperial Dominions, and united for ever to them as au integral part. Animated with the most ardent desire to 'wafer on the irihrbitants of these provinces and districts an unequi• vocal proof of our Imperial affection, and the high value we set upon this imior, and also to give them nu additional gnarautce for the close lies which henceforth bind them to ns, We have thought tit to create the abovementioned Provinces and Districts into a Kingdom, by the title of the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, and have, therefore, published these presents for the purpose of making known to every one this our imperial determination." [Here follow the Articles, 1,5 in number.—Among other provi sio;is it appears, that the Iron Crown and the ()idyr with quit Title are to be retained; that the Kingdom is to be governed by a Vice roy, and divided into two Governments, of which Milun and Venice shall be the capitals.] • PROCLAMATION OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA. lc When in the time of danger I called my people to arms, to com bat for the freedom and independence of the country, the whole mass Of the youtt, glowing with emulation, thronged round the standards, to bear, with joyful self-denial, unusual hardships, and re s olved to brave death itself; then the best strength of the people intrepidly joined the ranks of my brave soldiers, anti my Generals led with me into battle a host- of heroes, who have shewn themselves worthy of the name of her fathers, and heirs of their glory. Thus we and our Allies, attended by %ictory, conquered the capital of our enemy ; hay •'.ed in Paris: Napoleon abdicated his authority. security to thrones, and to the ist main march to the combat. A back to France the man who, fOr upon the world tmotterahle rinse have not been able to oppose his APRIL SO. mite& adherents. Thonelf he hiniself, while still at the head of a cenaiderable armed force, declared his abdication to be a voluntary sserifice to the happiness and repose of France, he now regards" this, 'lke every other convention, as nothing. He is at the head of per jured soldiers, who desire to render war eternal. Europe is again threatened : it cannot suffer the man .to remain on the throne of France who loudly proclaimed universal empire to be the object of his continually renewed wars, who confounded all moral principles by his continued bleach of faith, and who can, therefore, give th e world ro security for his peaceable intentions. _ " Again, therefore, arise to the combat ! France itself wants our aid, and all Europe is allied with us. United with your ancient companions In victory, reinforced by the accession of new brethren in arms, you go, brave Prussians to a just war with me, with' the Princes of my family , with the Generals who have led you to vic tory. The justice of the cause we defend will ensure us the victory. I have ordered a erneral arming, according to my Decree of Sep. , tetriber 3, 1814, which will be executed in all my dominions. " The army will be completed, the volunteer companies of gagers be formed. and the Lstidwehr called together. The youth of the I I chief classes of the citizens, from the age of 20 upwards, are at li berty to join either the Land wehr first called out, or the yager corps of the regular army. " Every young man who has completed his 17th year, may, if pos -1 se t s iott the requisite bodily •treneth, join the army at his own choice. T publish a particular regulation on this subject. Concerning the formation of single corps and of theLandwelir, a notice will appeap in eve's . province from the Co:Aituted Authorities. Thins united, with all Europe in arms, we again enter the lists awaited Napoleon Bonaparte and his adherents.
