The following Proclamation was issued by Gen. MORTIER, when he invaded Hanover. EDWARD MORTIER, Lieutenant-General, Commander in Chief, to the inhabitants of the Electorate of Hanover.
HANOVERIANS, A French army is entering your territory, not to spread confusion, but to withdraw that portion of the continent which you inhabit from a government that has proved itself an enemy to the peace of Europe, and that prides itself on trampling under foot all the principles on which are founded the rights of nations and individuals.
The First Consul, faithful to those sentiments of moderation and humanity which place him in as exalted a rank as his political and warlike talents, has in vain exhausted every means of conciliation to prevent a rupture.
The King of England, not blushing to perjure his most solemn engagements, has falsified his signature in refusing to evacuate Malta, also solemnly bound to this evacuation by the treaty of Amiens; he has already given the signal for hostilities, and must therefore henceforth be responsible both to God and man for those calamities which the scourge of war is about to draw upon all those States that are subjected to his government.
I am informed that proclamations have been made to you dictated by the blindest fury, in order to induce you to engage in a struggle, foreign to your interests, and of which you alone will be the victims.
HANOVERIANS, I promise you safety and protection, if consulting your real interest, you separate your cause from that of a sovereign who, in basely slander all the ties of good faith, has thereby released you from that attachment which you might have tho't it a duty to bear to him.
The most severe discipline reigns throughout the troops under my command. Your persons and property shall be respected; but in return, I require from you such proceedings as I have a right to expect from a peaceful people. ED. MORTIER.
Gen. Mortier to the Minister of War.
Head-quarters, Nienburg, 15 Prairial, June 1. I HAD the honor to give you an account, in my letter of the 8th Prairial, of the march of the French army towards the Hanoverian territory. After very fatiguing marches across arid sands and boggy heaths I took up my position on the 11th in front of Wechte.
I learned from good information that the enemy guarded the line of la Hunte. Gen. Hammerstein, commanding the advanced guard of the army of the King of England, occupied Diepholz, with the 2d and 6th regiments of infantry, two regiments of cavalry, and one division of infantry. I made preparations to dislodge him on the following morning. The 2d division commanded by Gen. Schiner, that of cavalry under the orders of General Nansouty received orders to march against Goldenstedt, to force the passage of la Hunte, and to push forward to Sublingen, in order to cut off all communication between that place and Diepholz, which the division of Gen. Montrichard had orders to attack by main force. The enemy perceiving that by this movement their right wing was turned, retreated during the night to Borsten.
On the 12th, the advanced guard, commanded by Gen. Dronet, had a smart skirmish, in front of Bauver, with the rear guard of the enemy.
On the 13th, the main body of the army assembled in front of Sublingen; the advanced guard directed its march towards Borsten; here it met the enemy, and in spite of their superior numbers, and its own extreme fatigue, having that day marched not less than twelve leagues, Gen. Dronet gave orders to attack. The enemy kept up a very hot cannonade. Some squadrons of the 2d regiment of hussars, charged the light division of the 9th regiment with great courage. They broke the line of this body, put them to flight and made many prisoners.
Having been informed by my spies, that the head of the bridge of Nienburg had been repaired, and that the enemy had united all their artillery upon the right bank of the Weler, I felt how necessary it was for me to hasten my motions. For this purpose I gave orders for the artillery of reserve to move forward with all haste, and made the necessary preparations to drive and throw into the Weler every thing before me, to force the head of the bridge at Nienburg or to pass the ferry at Stolzenau, and by that means to intercept the communication with the capital.
The troops were already on their march, the civil and military deputies presented themselves before my advanced posts; they entreated me to suspend my march, announcing to me that they had very advantageous proposals to make.
I answered in the negative; they returned to make me fresh proposals; I signified to
them, that I expected none, unless I had the certainty of immediately occupying the country of Hanover, and particularly all the strong places within its dependencies. After a pretty long discussion, they signed a convention; which I accept under the condition that it would be accepted by the respective governments. You will see by it that the army of the King of England are prisoners of war; that I am master of all this country, and particularly of the mouths of the Elbe and the Weler. I have given orders to seize all the shipping in those rivers. The Duke of Cambridge, the King of England's son and Governor of Hanover, judges proper to resign his commission before the battle and to make his retreat in post. He had, however, promised to die with the levy en masse; it is probable he may have embarked before we arrive at the mouth of the Elbe.
At Nienburg we found fourteen thousand stand of arms quite new, and a large quantity of artillery. According to the accounts delivered to me, I presume that, in the magazines & fortified places of Hanover, I shall find about a hundred thousand stand of arms, and more than a thousand pieces of ordnance. After to-morrow, I shall be in the town of Hanover, the central capital of the King of England. I have found a considerable number of horses to remount the cavalry and the train of artillery.
I owe great thanks to the care and zeal of General Dulauley. I have the honor to salute you. EDWARD MORTIER.
Convention agreed upon between the Civil and Military Deputies of the Regency of Hanover, and the Lieut. General MORTIER, Commander in Chief of the French army.
Art. 1st. Hanover shall be occupied by the French army, as likewise the forts which depend on it.
2d. The Hanoverian troops shall retire behind the Elbe. They shall engage on their parole of honor not to commit hostilities nor to bear arms against the French army and its allies, so long as the war between France & England shall continue. They shall not be discharged from this engagement, until after having been exchanged against as many French general officers, non commissioned officers, privates or seamen, as England may have at its disposition.
3d. No individual of the Hanoverian troops shall have liberty to quit the place assigned him without the commander in chief being previously informed thereof.
4th. The Hanoverian army shall march out with the honors of war; the regiments shall carry with them their field pieces.
5th. The artillery, powder, arms and ammunition of every kind, shall be left at the disposition of the French army.
6th. All effects whatsoever, belonging to the King of England, shall be left at the disposition of the French army.
7th. Sequestration shall be put on every military chest, that of the academy shall preserve its destination.
8th. Every English military man or agent, whatsoever, in the pay of England, shall be arrested by order of the commander in chief, and sent to France.
9th. The general, commander in chief, reserves to himself the right of making in the governments and authorities constituted by the Elector such a change as he shall think proper.
10th. All the French cavalry shall be remounted at the expense of Hanover; the Electorate shall provide equally for the pay, equipment, and provisioning of the French army.
11th. The worship of the different religious denominations shall be maintained on the footing established.
12th. All the persons, the property and the families of the Hanoverian officers shall be under the safe guard of French loyalty.
13th. All revenues of the country, as well electoral as public contributions, shall be at the disposal of the French government. The engagements hitherto entered into shall be respected.
14th. The authority of the existing government of the Electorate shall cease in the country occupied by the French troops.
15th. The general, commander in chief, shall levy on the Electorate of Hanover, such a contribution as he shall judge necessary for the wants of the army.
16th. Every article on which there shall arise any doubt shall be favorably interpreted to the inhabitants of the Electorate.
17th. The foregoing articles shall not be prejudicial to the stipulations which may have been decreed in favor of the Electorate between the First Consul and any mediating power.
Head quarters, Salzguben, 14th Prairial, Year 11th, (3d June, 1803)
With reserve for approbation of the First Consul, The Lt. Gen. Commander in Chief, (Signed) ED. MORTIER, F. de BARMER,
Judge of the Electoral Courts of Justice, & Provincial Counsellors. G. de BOCHL.

From the VERMONT GAZETTE. A new Song on the cession of LOUISIANA, to the UNITED STATES.
HAIL Jefferson, thy country's voice, Shall tell thy acts in joyful strains, Beneath thy wise designs rejoice. While peace and plenty deck the plains; Monarchic wiles, and grandeur's schemes Shall vanish like phantastic dreams.
When insult justly rais'd thy frown, Thou didst to wrath discretion join, And bade the royal Spanish crown Lay justice to the travers'd line; The monarch hears—without delay The rankling cause is swept away.
No childless widows mourn their slain, No war contractors gripe the poor, No hostile armies cross the plain, No cripples beg from door to door; But all is stillness, all is peace, And joys from hour to hour encrease.
While Britain madly pants for war, And France indignant checks her pride, Though Europe shake,—without a jar, Here peace and plenty shall reside; And through our wide republic raise The songs of gratitude and praise.
Columbia! Hail the happy day, When worth and diplomatic skill, With honest but commanding sway, Bids every rivalry be still; By reason's mild, alluring art, Adds a new empire to our chart.
New Orleans purchas'd, and thy tide, Vast Mississippi all our own, Here advise barques in peace shall ride, Nor acts of enmity be known; Orleans, like sister cities free, Shout Jefferson and Liberty.
Louisiana's vast domain Annexed to our union stands, Nor shall her sovereignty again Revert into European hands; Her sister states, her love shall claim, And jointly fan her genial flame.
Throughout the empire's widening bound, New towns and States will swiftly rise, European crowns will press the ground Emerging from less favoured skies; Of equal rights and laws secure, Hail following host shall seek this shore.
Blest are the men who foster peace, Who strike no hasty needlessly blow, Who love to see the arts increase, And riches from industry flow; Who keep no pamper'd pimps in pay, To varnish guilt in colours gay.
