AUSTRIAN MANIFESTO. IDINIPEtTO ot? rttSi MAJtSVI THE ghtritlWA OF Al/STRIA, XING tiq , IItrtsTGARY AN U D DOWEMIA. (€ `the Austrian . .lotiarcliy has been compelled by ks situation, b 3 ' its various connections With ether en Weffi l and its importance in the Confe. &racy of Vairoptan States, to ei►gagc in most of those wars which have ravaged Europe for up. wards of twenty years. Throughout the p►.ogtess of these arduous struggles the same political grin• cipie has invariithly directed hiiimperiallltijesty, • A lover of peace tram alense of d'uty, from 1).4 own natural feelings, and ttom attachment to Vis people ; free from ell ambitious thoughts of coin-•, quest and aggrendisement. Majesty hqs only taken up arm's' when called by the urgent neca -ity of t>el&pre‘e r vat ion by en anxiety for the fate at tontigiiiiiis States inseparable from his own, or by the danger of beholding the entire social sys-, tem of Europe a prey to a lawless and isbsolute ,rower. To promote justice and order lave been the object of his I%fujesty's liie and rein ; for these ulOne have Austria contended. If in these frequently unsuccessful contests deep wounds have been indicted on the Monarchy, still his Ma- jesty bad the consolation to reflect, that the fate of b:s empire had not been hazarded upon need- less and violent enterprises ; that an his decisions were jnstifiable betore God, his People, his Con- temporaries, and Posterity. " Notwithstanding the most ample prepara tions, the war in 1809 would have brought the state to ruin, had not the ever-memorable bravery, of the army anti the spirit of true patriotism which animated all parts of the Monarchy overbalanced ei"ery' advase occurrence. The honour of. the nition,. and . its .ancient renown .in antis, were bappily 'upheld dining all the mischances of this but valuable provinces were lust, and Aus tria, by the cession of the countries bordering upon the Adriatic, was deprived of all share in maritime commerce, one of the most efficient means of pro moting her industry f a blow`which would have been still more sensibly felt had not at the same time the whole Continent been closed by a gene la anti destructive system, preventing all com mercial intercourse, said almost suspending all communicatiOn amongst nations. ' " The progress and result of this war fully 4- tislied his Majesty, that in the obvious inipossibi‘ .city of an immediate and thorough improvemer tof , the political condition of 4urope,shakert as it was to its :terry foundation, the oUtrtinfili 'of ilvlividual btatr* in their own defence * twit-cad 01 artting bounds tty the general distress, would only tend to destroy the little strength :they still retained* would baster, the fail of the whole, and even do .stroy all hopes of fatute and better times. under this conviction, his Majesty foresaw the hispor, taut advantage that would reSttlt front a peace which, if secured for some years, might check this overgrown and hitherto irresistible power, might allow his Monarchy that repose which was indiS pensable to the restoration of his finances%anil his army, and, at the same time, pro ore to the neigh bouriug - States a period of relaXation, which, if improved with prudence and activity, might pre pare the way more fortunate timys. Sitch,a peace under, the existing - eircionstances of danger, was only to be obtai.ied by an extraordinary effort. The Emperor was sensible of it, and Made Otis effort :,--for the preservation of the empire, fin the most sacred interests of mankind, es a seen- Tity against iinlueasttrable evils, as a pledge of a better order of things, his Majesty sacrificed what was dearest to his heart. With this view, exalted above all common scruples, armed against every misconstruction of the modient, an alliance vial formed which was intended by a sense of some se curity to reanimate the weaker and'more suffering •party, after the miseries of an ,mistteeessftil wag. Vie, to incline the stronger aunt yictorions, one.ro a Course Of moderation add justice, without . which, the:commuitity of States can only he considered.as a community of misery. , r‘ Ills Majt.sty was the more justified in these expectations, because 'at the time of the consult) , oration of this union the Emperor Napoleon'had attained that point of his career when the pre servation of his conquests was a more natural and desfo:,:,, , object than a restless strOgglerafter i o new, IHJ Any farther extension of his dmul ntoil,,, shire.

" The Decree by which a new French domi nion was established on the German coasts, under the title of a thirty. , secand military division, was in itself, sufficiently calculated to raise the suspi cions of the adjoining States, and It was the more alarminvo them as the forerunner of . future and :greater dangets,,, 135 f this decree it b'ecame evi dent, that the system which had :been created in France (although previously transgressed, .yee still proclaimed to be in existence), the system of the pretended natural limits of the. French Empire, was, without any further justification or explana tion overthrown, and even the Emperor's urbi- teary acts ivere in the same arbitrarrmanner an nibilatf... Neither the Princes of the Rheiii,h' Confect:4oy,, nor tbe kingdom of Westphalia,. nu territory; greiit or small, wits spared in the ap-i complishnient of this dreadful nsurpation. The boundary drawn'apparcntly by blind caprice, with out either ride or plan, without any consideration of ancient o r More recent political relations, in, - . tersected rivers and countries eta - off 'the middle and southern States of Germany , from con nection with the German Sea, passed the. Elbe, separated Denumilt from Germany, laid Its pre tensions even tq the 'Baltic, and seemed to be pidly approaching the tine of Prussian fortress‘s ; , still occupied on the Oder, and so little ~fc~ this act of usurpation (however powerfully it affected all rights, and possessions, geographic, politi, cal, and military lines of demareatiou) carry with it a character at determinate and, completeatiesl, sion gf" territory, that it was impossible to vie it in any other light than as a forerunner of still greater usurpations, by which one' half of tier , many was to become a French Province; and the Emperor Napoleon the absolute Ruler of the Con tinent. " To Russia and Prussia, this unnatural extena 1101 k of the French territory could not tail of pro• clueing the most serious alarm. The hitter; sur rounded on all sides, no Amigcr capable of free action, deprived of every means of obtaining fresh strength, uppeareiLhastening,to its dissOlution,.... , Russia, already in fear far her wesiern front ier, - hy the conversion of the city of Dittazic,lhdared fro ? oity t z y il.“`freati at Tilsit., into a Tye port, and of a great part of Poland into.l4. French province, could not but set:, in the ad vance of' the French dominion along tile sea coast, and.in the new chains prepared fur Prussia, the imminent danger of her German and Polish pos. sessions. Prom this moment, therefore, the nip.' titre between France and Russia was as goad as decided. " 7 Not NVithout , deep and just anxiety did Awi tria Observe the storm which was gathering., Lhe scene of hostilities would in' every case be con tiguous to her provinces, which, owing to the ne cessary reform in the financial system whidt had cramped the restoration of her militaty menus, were in it very defenceless state. in a hig4r point of view, the struggle which awaited Prussia appeared stil more'doribttill, as 'commenced eli der the same nufavOurable eciejuncture of affairs, with theaame want of co-operation, ou the part of other power's, and with the same disproportion in their,relative means, consetpieutly was jusr.as hopeless as all 'former 'struggles of the same, na ture. His Majesty the Emperor made every ef fort in his power by friendly mediatitin with both parties to avert the impending storm. 'No human judgment could at diet time fore See thaethe period was .so near at hand when the failure of 'these friendly attempts should prove more injuriousto the Emperor' Napoleon than to his opumients. Thus, however, it was resolved by the wisdom of ,Providence:. " When the eotrimeneement of hostilities teas no longer doubtful,his Majesty was compelled to have recourse to measures which in so unnatural and dangerous a conjuncture, might combine. his own security with just- considerations for the real interests of neighbouring States, - 'flie system at unarmed inaction, the only neutrality which the Emperor Napoleon, aecordhig to his oavo decla rations, woold have peeirdtted, was - by ever/16MA maxim of policy wholly inadmissible, and would at last have proved mil); at vain ellikaVOtlV tr) shrink from the approaching trial. f, power so impartimt as Austria enuld not renounce all pat , - 11611160 n to the interests of Europe, nor could she place herself in at situation in which, equally ineffective in peace or war, she would lose her voice and influencein 'ill great negociatious,with out acqiiiring any float:0 , 10e for the security of tier own frontier. ,Tiilrcpare for war against France would have been, wider the existing cir cumstances, as. little consonant' with equity as with prudence. The Emperor Napoleon had given his Majesty no personal ,ground for hOstile eeedings 3 and the prospect of attaining Man y be nefie!ill results by a skilfid employment of the ,es7' tablished friendly relations, f)y tepre I st i t t itri b t e tt l is, 4 7l 1 J u iy nc eoncirtat, 01 1 C° 11 ".

On the Sig'nattire Of the Treaty of tits 1 2 th Moreit 1812 ; Iris 'Majesty proceeded upon' two distinet principles i The first; its is prayed by - the - words of the 'lreaty, wits to leave no theans 9n , tried ‘Vhielt Might ! . ituict or later obtain a pence : the other o.t 'as to place himself internally and cx tctntilly d po3itioln - which, it it should prove tinpossible to liflat a peace; or in ease the turn Of the sVar should render decisive measures in this part necestury, wotild enable Austria to act With independence, and in either• of these cases to adopt the measures which a just nnd wise policy should prescribe. Upon this prineiple it was that only a fixed and comparatively small part of the army was destined to co-operate in the war : the other military resources, at 'that time in a state of rendiness, or that still remained to be prepared, ‘vere not called forth for the prosecution of this %var. By a kind of tacit agreement between the Belligerents, the' ,Austriau territory was even treated as neut:al. The real end and views of the system adopted by his Majesty could not escaile the notice of Prance, Russia, or any intelligent observer. '' The campaign of 1812 furnished a metnorable example ot the failure of ;ut undcrtaking support ed lysi gigantic powers, conducted by a Captain of tlw first rank, when, in the confidence of great military talents, he. `despises the rules /of pm und °insteps the hounds of miftire The illus;on of glory carried the Emperor Napoleon into the Leila of the Russian Empire vain! a fake view of things induced hint to timagine that he should dictate a peaeL; in Moscow, should cripple the Russian power for halt' a century, and 'then return victorious. When the magnanimous constancy of, the Emperor of Russia, the glorious deeds of his warriors, and the unshaken fidelity of his people, put an end to this dream; it was too late to repent it with impunity„ The whole French army was scattered and destroyed : in less than four months we have seen the theatre of war transferred from the Dnieper and the Dwina to the Oder and the Elbe. " This rapid and ewaordiriary change of for tune was the forerunner of an important revolu thm in all the political relations of Europe. The confederacy of Russia, Great Britain and Swe den, presented' point of union to all neigh bouring States, Prussia, Whoin report had lung declared - determined to risk all, to preferxren the danger of immediate political destruction to the lingering sufferings of continued oppression, seiz ed the favourable moment, and threw herself into the arms of the Allies. Many greater and smaller Princes of Germany were reiuty to-tio the sante, Every where the ardent desires of the people anticipated the regnlat proceedings of their Governments. Their impatience to live in lode - pendence, and under their own laws, the senti ment of wounded national honour, mut the hatred Of a foreign domioion, broke out in bright flames on all sides. ,‘ Ills ,Majest7 the Emperor, too intelligent not r is - aw4l4 n r _ t he iiiit t , r o and necessary' consequence of =a previous Violent political convulsion, and too . just to view it in.an ger, was solely bent, upon securing,. by -deep di gested and well combined measures, the real and permanent interest of the European Common.. wealth. Already, to the beginning of December, considerable steps had beep taken on the pert Of the Austrian Cabinet, in order to tliipose the Ern peror Napoleon to quiet itud peaceful policy, on grounds which equally interested the would and his own welfare. These steps-evert from time to time renewed and enforced. Elopes had been en tertained that the impression.of last.impresSioti of 14st year's campaign, the recollection of the fruit less sacrifice of an immense army, theseverc men sores 'of every description that would be iieecs , ... :airy to replace that loss, the - decided: disinclina-, titan of France, and of all those nations connected with her, to ti war, which, without any prospect 01 future indemnification, exhausted andluined her internal U•ettgth, that lasay, wen a'callot re flection on the doubtful issue of this 'new and highly 'imminent crisis would move tits Emperor to listen to the representations of Austria, The tone of these represeutatitnis was carefully adapt ed to the circumstances of the,times,,serionsas the greatness of the'objeat, moderate as the desire of a favourable issue, and as -the existiog friendly relations required.. That overtures flowing from so pure a motive should be decidedly rejected, could nut certainly be fOreseen, But the 1114illiCr in which they. were received, and stilll more the striking contrast be tween-the sentiments entertained by Austria, and the whole conduct of the Emperor Napoleon, to the period of these unsuccessful endeavours- for peace,. soon 'destroyed 'the best hopes that were entertained. Instead of endeavouring. by a. too tlerate langnage, ati improVe at _least our view :of the future, unit to.letileit the pivotal despondency, it was on every occasion solemnly declared, be fore the highest authorities in France; that the Emperor would hear of no proposition for peace, that should violate the integrity of •the Vrench empire, in the French sense of :the word, or =that should make any-pretension, to thearbitratily in corporated provinces. " At the same time, eventual conditions with which this sell-ereated boundary did not even ap pear, to have any relation, were spoken of at one time with menacing indigoation another with bitter contempt, as if it had not been possible to, deelare - iu terms sutlicieutly flistiuct the re solution of the Emperor Napoleon not to make to the reposc of the world, even one single nonanat sacrifice," ‘! These hostile- demonstrations were attended with this partionar mortineatien to Austria, that they, placed even the invitations. topoace which this Cabinet, 'with the knowledge and . apparent wment of France made to other; Coud of in it false and - highly disadvant a g eou s li g h t.
