Franee fulfilled not, in any manner, the obligations' coutracted, the exact accomplishment of which could alone, prevent the entire, ruin of the country and its inhabitants. " It was stipulated that the garrison of Cidogau should be yrnvisioned at the ex pe l lee of 14 . 'r:Isiet i reckoning from the date of the treaty, and tho Se. of Cuserio and Stettin, after the entire payment of the contributions ; the latter was paid , and 'evenmore, in the month of May ; in the last year, he the deliveries which have been made—never th.Jess rrussia reinained . charged with provision ing these three garrisons, without any reprensen tatiints being able to eifect what justice and the letter of the treaty demanded.' We had flittered ourselves, at least, according to the recent pro tariai,S of. his Majesty the Emperor, the country round those places, us the Prussian . .territry, would henceforth have been sheltered from all forced requisitions, but at the very motneot when we delivered ourselves up to this hope, the Continandams received a formal order, to take for ten leagues round the fortresses,-' every thing of which they believed they stood in want, Which was exeented with all the violence which was foreseen. It was agreed that sums advanced by Prussia for supplies of till kinds, should be settled every three months, and the balance paid down at the end of : the campahol. But she could not obtain that even these accounts should be examined, and When tile balance amounted to very large stuns, of which .he was every moment to furnish the prools,when at die end of the year it was 94,000,000 of frmics. the most lively representations. were not a ble t o pro cure IlaginClit of a single account, although the Kin. , had, for the moinent, confined his demand to as sinn less.than half the urgeot, and indispensable necessity for wtOcli had been de monstrated by the most pow erful evidence. The clause of the treaty of alliance which insured the `neatrality of a part of could not, under the eircnmstances which since occurred, take effect, unless Russia, on her putt, acquiesced in it, and this acquiescence, supposed of necessity, that they should treat about this object.

Besides Ge neral tie Kroseinark is charged to deliver as note to the Minister, which will enlarge more upon so many objects, which Clearly proves that the French Government, in holding .in in) considera tion the principal stipulations of treaty of al.• liance in favour of Prassia, which nevertheless formed so many essential conditions of it, rind without which the latter would have, whatever might have been the consequence, subscribed to the conditions imposed on her,' has itself freed' her flout those reciprocal oliligations cOntained in it.'

The progress of the idatssial, arms in the centre of the monarchy, does not permit Prussia' any longer to prolong that state of unctsraiirty in which she is. On one side the &riperOr of anss:a, united to the King by bonds of persoual friends•,ip, offers Prussia in this 'decisive inonient, the sop port of his power, and the advantages of his friendship; ots the other, his Majesty the Enipe ror of the French persists in repulsing an Ally who has sacrificed himself in his cause, .aml disdains . • even to explain himself upon the motives of hiS silence. Vor a length of time France has viokt tul, in every point, the treaties Which conuee her with Prussia. Not contented with having dictated-at Tilsit a peace, r tpuilly hard and Hating . , she has not permitted her even to enjoy the triflieg advantages which that treaty seemed to allow her. She has made use of odious preteXts to shake to their foundations the fortune of the State, and .those of individeals. Since that epoch, Piave slit hes been treated as a conquered country, and oppressed by a yoke of iron. The t.reoch armies remained in it contrary to the terms of the tre•t 'ty„ and lived at discretion in it during eighteen months : , exorbitant and arbitrary contributions were imposed upon her ; her commerce was ruined by obliging her to adopt the_continental system ; French garrisons Were placed in the three for- • tresses of the Oder ; the country Wlts obliged to defray the expellee of their appointments . ; in short, by the treaty. of Bayonne ; „the property of widows and orphans we.% disposed of, in ntanifeSt contradiction to the stipulations of the neatv Of peace : every thing announced that no. sort of' re gard wsittld be kept with an unfortunate end ttii pressed state, In this state of things, pence be came an illosiary benefit. The King groaned un der the enormous weight which oppressed h s sub- Fie flattered himself with vanquishing by force of condescension and sacrifices,' do to ihnosity the effects of which he knew, but of whose prin ciple he was ignorant. He gave himself up to the hope of sparing his people greater misfortunes, ill serepulotiSly his engagements' towards 'France, and in carefully' avoiding every thing which could give her offence., -By extraordinary and unheard-of efforts, Prnssia succeeded in pay ing two thirds - of:the, contribution : she was pre paring to pay the temainder, when clouds arose between 'Russia end. France, and when the im.- niense preparations , of those two polvers did not . any longer permit her to doubt of the war ahout.. to be kiwiled in the,North. The King, faithful to his principle of saving, at any price, the tuitional , existence, judging of the future by the past, felt that he had .every thing to fear.frotn France. He. sacrificed his affections, and concluded' with be:. treaty of alliance, At the epoch 'of the conclu sion of the treaty,' before the news could haVe reached Berlin, ttie French (loops entered Po merania hnd the Marche Electorate. The King with grief saw that no attention , was paid, to iris frank and loyal iittentions. They would obtain ,hy- force what, it appeared impossis;* ble to obtain by negoeiations. Agents of Prussia; frightened by the meniteing attitude of 'Ertince;' had signed at Pari's separate conventions, which contained conditions extremely burthunsume, re lative to the provisioning and wants of the grand. Army.
