MANIFESTO
OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
AS HIS majesty the king of Prussia has taken up arms for the defence of his people, he thinks it necessary to lay before them, and all Europe, the circumstances which have imposed this duty on his majesty.
The politics of France have been the scourge of humanity during the last fifteen years. Those men who in rapid succession, have been at the head of affairs in that country, have only sought the means of their dominion in war, and the guarantee of their existence in the wretchedness of the people, may be viewed without astonishment. But the introduction of a regular government, to which the same necessity could not be imputed, gave new life to the hopes of the friends of peace. Napoleon, invested with the supreme power, victorious, surrounded by weaker states, friendly disposed governments, or exhausted rivals, had it in his power to perform a better part. For the greatness of France nothing more remained for him to do; for her happiness, every thing was in his power.
It is painful to be compelled to say, that French hostilities still remained the same. An insatiable ambition was still the ruling passion of France. She made use of arms and treaties with the same view. The peace of Amiens was scarcely concluded before the signal for the first acts of violence followed.
Holland and Switzerland two independent states, were compelled to accept a constitution which converted them into French provinces. The renewal of the war was the consequence.
Peace however still continued upon the continent. The German empire had purchased it by incalculable sacrifices. In the midst of this peace, nevertheless, the French troops invaded the electorate of Hanover; a country which had no concern in the war between France and England, while the ports of Germany were shut against the British flag, and the better to effect her object, France took possession of Cuxhaven, and the territory of a free state, which was still more a stranger to the war than Hanover.
In the midst of this peace also, the same troops a few months after violated the German territory in such a manner as to wound the honor of the nation still deeper.
The Germans have never avenged the death of the duke d'Enghien; but the remembrance of that event will never be extinguished among them.
The treaty of Luneville guaranteed the independence of the Italian republic— In spite of the most positive assurances did Napoleon place the Ironcrown of Italy upon his own head. Genoa was incorporated with France. Lucca was very near sharing the same fate. Only a few months before had the emperor, on a solemn occasion, an occasion which imposed very important duties upon him, declared before his people and before all Europe, that he wished not to extend the limits of his territory. Besides France was bound by a treaty with Russia, to put the king of Sardinia in the possession of indemnities in Italy. Instead of fulfilling that obligation she made herself mistress of every object which could have been serviceable towards that indemnification.
Portugal wished to maintain her neutrality, but Portugal was compelled to purchase by gold the deceitful security of a few moments.
The Porte who had not forgotten the invasion of Syria and Egypt was the only power remaining in Europe which had not been subjected to the arbitrary proceedings of France.
But to these acts of violence, a system of abuse and injury remained still to be added. A Journal which proclaimed itself the voice of the government, was chosen as a chronicle of the attacks incessantly made upon every crowned head.
Prussia could be no stranger to any of these general acts of oppression. Many of them were nearly connected with her substantial interests; especially as the wisdom of that system which considers the states of Europe as members of the same family, calls upon each of them for defence of all; and that the unbounded aggrandizement of one state exposed the rest to danger, was sufficiently manifest to experience.
Still it is most essentially necessary to represent in what manner the conduct of France was calculated to operate in its immediate relation to Prussia.
It were superfluous to enumerate all the good offices rendered to Napoleon by Prussia. Prussia was the first power that acknowledged him. No promises, no menaces had been able to shake the king's neutrality. Every thing that the duty of a good neighbor could prescribe was most amply afforded during a period of six years. Prussia esteemed a valiant nation, which also had learned, on its part, to respect Prussia both in war and peace; and she did justice to the genius of its chief. But the remembrance of these times is no longer retained by Napoleon.
Prussia had permitted the territory of Hanover to be invaded. In this she had countenanced an act of injustice; therefore was it her first view to remedy it. She offered herself for it instead of England, under the condition that the latter should cede it. It must, however, at least be recollected, that thus a boundary was prescribed to France, which she should not pass. Napoleon solemnly pledged himself not to compromise the neutrality of the northern states; to exercise no violence towards any of them; and, in particular, not to increase the number of troops in the electorate of Hanover.
Scarcely had he agreed to the stipulations, than he broke them. Every one is acquainted with the violent manner in which sir George Rumbold was seized; every one knows that the Hansa Towns were laid under contribution, under the appellation of loans, not by any means for their interest, but exactly in the same manner as if France had been at war with them. For the first of these injuries his majesty contented himself with accepting an inadequate satisfaction. Of the second he took no cognizance, being prevented by the apprehensions, and representations on the part of the Hanse Towns. His majesty, on his part, did not scruple to make any sacrifice, as the preservation of peace was the dear wish of his heart.
The patience and sufferance of every other court were exhausted sooner than that of his majesty. War again broke out on the continent—the situation of the king, with respect to his duty, was more difficult than ever. In order to prevent France from augmenting her troops in Hanover, he had promised to suffer no attack to be made on that territory. The Russians and the Swedes were preparing for an attack upon the French. From this period, the whole burden of the contract between France and Prussia weighed upon the latter only, without producing to her the least advantage; and by a singular concatenation of circumstances it seemed that Prussia, who only wished to remain impartial and neutral, could no longer pursue her former system, except to the prejudice of the allied powers. Every advantage which resulted from this situation of affairs was on the side of France, and the king was daily threatened with a collision, not less formidable to him than decisively favorable to the plans of Napoleon.
Who could have thought that the very moment when the king had given to the French government the strongest proof of his determination, and a singular example of the faithful fulfilment of engagements into which he had once entered, should be chosen by Napoleon to do the king the most sensible injury? Who does not remember the violation of the territory of Anspach, which took place on the 3d of Oct. in the last year, notwithstanding the remonstrance of the provincial administration, and of his majesty's minister?
This contest between that moderation which pardons every thing; that integrity which remains true to its engagements to the last on the one part; and the abuse of power, the insolence inspired by deceitful fortune, and the habit of only reckoning on this fortune, on the other, continued several years. The king declared to the French government that he considered all his connections with it as dissolved. He placed his armies on a footing suitable to circumstances. He was now fully convinced that no pledge of security remained for the neighbors of France but a peace established upon firm principles, and guaranteed by all the powers in common.
His majesty offered the allies to be the mediator in negotiations for such a peace, and to support them with all his force. It is sufficient to know the conditions then proposed, to be convinced of the moderation which, at all times, has governed the politics of his majesty in their whole extent. Prussia, at this moment, listened not to the voice of revenge; she passed over the events of the late war, however violent they might have been, since they had been sanctioned by existing treaties. She required nothing but the punctual fulfilment of those treaties; but this she required without limitation. Count Haugwitz repaired to Vienna, where the French
emperor then was. Scarcely had his minister been there a few days, when the whole face of affairs was changed; the misfortunes experienced by the court of Vienna had compelled it to sign an armistice which was immediately followed by a peace. The emperor of Russia sacrificed his magnanimous views to the wish of his ally, and his troops returned home. Prussia stood now alone on the field of contest. His majesty was obliged to limit his policy by his powers; and instead, as had been his wish, of embracing the interest of all Europe, make his own security, and that of his neighbors, his first object.
[The manifesto then proceeds to recite at length the conduct of Bonaparte with respect to Cleves, Wesel, Hanover, &c.]
It was no longer doubtful that Napoleon had determined to overwhelm Prussia with war, or to render her for ever incapable of war, since it was evident he was leading her from humiliation to humiliation, till she should be reduced to such a state of political degradation and feebleness, that she could have no other will than of her formidable neighbor.
The last doubt at length disappeared; troops marched from the interior of France towards the Rhine. The intent to attack Prussia was clear and certain. The king ordered a note to be transmitted by gen. Knobelsdorf, containing the conditions on which he was ready to come to an accommodation. These conditions were,
 1. That the French troops should immediately evacuate Germany.  2. That France should oppose no obstacle to the formation of the northern confederacy; and likewise, that this confederacy might embrace all the larger and smaller states not included in the fundamental act of the confederation of the Rhine.  3. That a negotiation should immediately be commenced for the adjustment of all objects in dispute; a preliminary article of which should be, the restoration of three Abbeys, and the separation of the town of Wesel from the French empire. 
These conditions speak for themselves; they shew how moderate the king has been in his demands, even at this moment, and how much the maintenance of peace, if France wishes peace, depends upon herself.
The term peremptorily fixed by the king, for the decision of peace or war has elapsed. His majesty has not received the answer of the cabinet of St. Cloud; or rather, the preparations made around him, daily, give the answer. The king can henceforth confide the safety and honor of his crown only to arms. He leads to honorable combat an army worthy its former glory. He reigns over a people of whom he may be proud; and while he is ready to shed his blood for them, he knows what he may expect from energy and affection. Princes, the honor of the German name, have joined their banners with his; and a sovereign who honors with his virtues one of the first thrones in the world, is penetrated with the justice of his cause. His arms are blessed by the voice of his people. With so many motives to be conscious of his strength, Prussia may be permitted continually to confide in her high destiny.
The French emperor proposed to count Haugwitz a treaty on which was stipulated, on one side a mutual guarantee of possessions, the inviolability of the Turkish territory, and the results of the peace of Presburg; and, on the other, the taking possession of Hanover by Prussia, in return for the cession of three provinces.
The first part of this treaty promised at least for the future, an acknowledged guarantee, and if Napoleon had so pleased, a firm political constitution. The results of the peace of Presburg were a general misfortune for Europe, but Prussia sacrificed herself alone when she accepted them; and to place a limit to the incessant usurpations of France, should the treaty be considered by the court of St. Cloud as any thing more than words, appeared an advantage; the king, therefore, ratified this article unconditionally.
The second half of the treaty of Vienna related to an object, the importance of which had been manifested by serious experience. Prussia could not rely on security for a moment, so long as Hanover remained involved in a war, in which that country had, in fact, no concern. At whatever price it might be purchased, Prussia was resolved that the French should not return thither. She had her choice to obtain this end either by a treaty or a war. The cession of three provinces, which had been faithful and happy for a long series of years, was a sacrifice not to be made for the plan of vain ambition; but these provinces, in case of a war, would have been the first sufferers; all the calamities of the war would have pressed upon
the monarchy; while the acquisition of Hanover, could it have been made under less unhappy circumstances, would have been productive of the most salutary advantages to Prussia. The king, therefore, conceived, that he reconciled his wishes with his principles, when he accepted the proposed exchange, only under the condition that the fulfilment of the same should be deferred to the general peace, and the consent of his majesty the king of Great Britain should be obtained.
All the advantages of the treaty were for France. On the one side, she received guarantees, which put the seal on her conquests; on the other, she gave what she did not possess, what might be again conquered by the chances of an uncertain war; while in the cessions of Prussia she found the means of cherishing her allies.
But between a policy which will do every thing in its power, and an integrity which regards its duties, and especially its promises, the contest is ever unequal. The king approached the moment when he was convinced of this by experience; this moment was the most painful of his reign.
It was the affair of France to reject the modifications under which the king had confirmed the treaty, if she did not approve them. But she avoided doing this, for the whole Prussian army was still under arms. She continued to be lavish of assurances of friendship; she fulfilled the treaty as far as it suited her; but when his majesty wished to reap the only advantage which he had proposed to himself from the late negotiations, and which was nearest to his heart, she suddenly altered her language. The modifications, added to the treaty of Vienna, were now rejected at Paris. Endeavors were made to force Prussia into the most injudicious measures; and when count Haugwitz who was at Paris remonstrated against this, the unconditional fulfilment of the treaty was haughtily insisted on, as were the immediate cessions of the three provinces, and to real the patent by which the occupation of Hanover was declared provisional. Prussia was required to resign a part of the advantages stipulated, and to shut the ports against the British flag, in the same manner as the French had returned into the electorate.
The king, at length, was perfectly convinced of the true character of the friendship of the emperor of the French—a soporific draught for a power which still feels its own strength; an instrument of degradation, and finally of subjection, to every power which no longer possesses strength.
In the mean time, Napoleon was in possession of every advantage. The Prussian army had returned; his own, after some movements of no consequence, at which deceived Germany prematurely rejoiced, on some frivolous pretences established itself on this side of the Rhine. The first conflict might produce misfortunes. War, which is not, under all circumstances, the greatest of evils, might become such under those then existing. The king determined to continue the part he had hitherto acted for some time longer. Wishing to preserve his force, now more than ever necessary to Europe, and at the least to secure the tranquility of the North, he confirmed the new treaty. Confidence, however, was now utterly lost. Prussia was convinced that, on the first opportunity to weaken her without danger, she might expect an attack from her pretended ally; convinced there is a degree of ambition which nothing can satisfy; which proceeds, without intermission, from usurpation to usurpation, sometimes without a plan, but ever intent on destruction; careless of the choice of means, and employing alike arms and the pen, violence and oaths. But even with this superiority obtained by such policy, over those who wish only to be just, the king fulfilled all conditions of the treaty with the punctuality of a faithful ally. It is known what the consequences were with respect to the connections of his majesty with England. France gained nothing by this; but she triumphed in secret at the thought of having diminished two courts, the union of which would have been dangerous to her; and what in the view of France, gave her principal value to her alliance with the king was, that this alliance insulated his majesty, since it produced an opinion, that Prussia was a participator in the cause of so many misfortunes.
But not content with this, we shall see in what manner the politics of France, assured that she had now no enemy to fear, believing that she had annihilated Austria, forming a judgment of Russia with equal ignorance and rashness, and blinded by the apparent tranquility of Prussia, she at length threw off the mask; and despising forms which she had hitherto sometimes

pected, openly trampled on all treaties & rights. Three months after the signing of the treaty with Prussia, all its articles were violated.
The treaty had for its basis the status quo of the moment in which it was concluded, also the guarantee of the German Empire and its states according to the constitution then established. This truth arises not only from the nature of things; the treaty had expressly prescribed to the two powers their duties. The relations in which the peace of Presburg has left his majesty the emperor of Austria, were guaranteed to him, consequently, also the imperial crown of Germany, and the rights connected with it. The existence of Bavaria, and consequently the relations which had connected it for so many centuries to the empire, were likewise confirmed by the same common guarantee. Three months after, the confederation of the Rhine overthrew the German constitution, deprived the emperor of the ancient ornament of his house, and placed Bavaria, and thirty other princes, under the tutelage of France.
But is it necessary to appeal to treaties to form a just judgment of this extraordinary event? Previous to all treaties nations have their rights, and had not France asserted with the sanctity of an oath, the act of unexampled despotism would exasperate every mind. To deprive princes who had never offended France, and to render them the vassals of others, themselves the vassals of the French government; to abolish with a stroke of the pen a constitution of a thousand years duration, which long habits, the remembrance of so many illustrious periods, and so many various & mutual relations had rendered dear to such a number of Princes; which had so often been guaranteed by all the European powers, and even by France herself; to lay contributions on the cities and towns in the midst of profound peace, and leave the new possessions only an exhausted skeleton, to abolish the constitution without consulting the emperor of Germany, from whom a crown was wrested or Russia, so lately become the guarantee of the German league, or Prussia interested intimately in the league thus arbitrarily dissolved. No; wars and continued victories have sometimes produced great and remarkable catastrophes; but such an example in times of peace was never before given to the world.
The king commiserated the unfortunate princes, who suffered by these transactions, but he pitied not less those who had suffered themselves to be lured by the hope of gain; and he would reproach himself, should he increase their unhappiness by judging them with too great a severity. Deluded by the reward of their compliance; probably forced to obey commands which admitted of no opposition; or, if surprised into consent, sufficiently punished by their acquisitions, and by being reduced to a state of vassalage, as harsh and degrading as their relations were honorable, they deserve not to be treated by Germany with the utmost rigor. Perhaps, when the magnanimous nation, to which they formerly belonged, arises around them on every side to contend for their independence, they may listen to the voice of gratitude and honor, and, at least abhor their chains, when they find they must be stained with the blood of their brethren.
It was not enough that these despotic acts were immediately injurious to Prussia. The emperor of France was intent on rendering them sensible to the person of the king in all his states. The existence of the prince of Orange was under the common guarantee of the two powers; for the king had acknowledged the political changes in Holland only under this condition. For several years this prince had expected that his claims secured by the mutual stipulations of Prussia and France, should be satisfied. The Batavian republic had been willing to enter in an accommodation, but the emperor Napoleon forbade it. Neither the recollection of the circumstance, nor the consideration of the ties of blood which united his majesty to the prince, nor the declaration, twenty times repeated, that the king could not desert the rights of his brother in-law, could prevent his being added to the heap of victims. He was the first who was deprived of his paternal property. Eight days before, he had received a letter from the emperor, condoling with him in the customary forms, on the death of his father, and wishing him joy on his undisturbed succession to the states of his house. None of these circumstances are unimportant; each throws a light on the whole.

Prince Lewis of Prussia, who on the 1st commanded the advanced guard of the corps under prince Hohenlohe, fought like a hero, when he discovered his troops to be thrown into confusion by the French cavalry. He fought single handed against a French petty officer of the 10th regiment of hussars. The officer called to him — "surrender yourself, colonel, or you are a dead man." The prince answered by a sabre cut in return for which the officer stabbed him, and prostrated him dead on the ground.
Intercepted letter written by a Prussian officer to his friend at Berlin, dated Naumburg, October 12.
"The commencement of hostilities against the French has turned out very unfortunate for the German troops. A detachment of the left wing of the corps under Hohenlohe, has been forced, and a murderous battle has been fought by the corps under Tauenzien and prince Lewis of Prussia, who is killed. The regiments Zastram, von Ballet, the green and brown hussars, as well as the Saxon regiments prince John, Xavier and Rechten, have suffered severely. Since yesterday p.m. and during the whole night, we have seen nothing but the fugitives going to join their regiments; it is supposed that the French are directing their main strength to our left wing to cut off our communication with Leipzig. Their army must amount to 400,000 men, commanded by the emperor, whom I suppose to be at this moment at Gera, four German miles from hence. We have very large magazines here without any means of holding them; we are dreadfully embarrassed here. God forbid that the king, who will probably soon be attacked, should risk a battle, as that would be an irreparable loss."
[It appears very extraordinary that, though the Amsterdam Courant of the 28th acknowledges the receipt of letters from Berlin and Magdeburg down to the 18th of October, it contains no official bulletins of the French army of a later date than the 10th, from Jena. This circumstance is rendered still more extraordinary as the distance from Amsterdam to Berlin is about 50 English miles more than from Amsterdam to Jena, and the above letters from Berlin and Magdeburg are stated to have been received by the circuitous way of Hamburg, and the accounts extracted from them do not by any means correspond with the letter from Jena of the 15th. In this letter the duke of Brunswick is stated to have been killed, and the decisive battle to have been fought on the 14th. The letter from Magdeburg we now insert in full length and verbally translated.]
Magdeburg, Oct. 18—6 o'clock P. M. The battles which our king lost on the 14th, 15th and 16th near Weimar, Kosen and Naumburg against marshal Lannes, have been very decisive.
The reserve under the duke Eugene of Wirtemberg was yesterday defeated by marshal Davoust, and has been obliged to retreat with considerable loss.
Halle has been taken by the enemy, and probably he will be before our gates tomorrow. Prince Lewis is killed, and the duke of Brunswick lies in Blankenburgh badly wounded. Our first generals are killed, and with them upwards of 30,000 of our bravest soldiers.
[Had Bonaparte gained any victories on the dates mentioned in the letter, it is exceedingly improbable that he would omit communicating the same officially to the secretary of state, who was in possession of dispatches from him as early as the 17th, relating his successive engagements.]
The above letter leaves us great hopes that we shall find the duke of Brunswick to be alive, and recovering; and that the latest alarming accounts from Europe are of a fabric well known to the world.
The mail for Amsterdam leaves Hamburg every Tuesday and Friday evening, passes through Bremen the next day, and the course of post is not more than four days, making even some allowance for bad roads in the month of October. Why does not the Amsterdam paper of 28th October furnish us with any further extracts and confirmations of Bonaparte's victories received from Hamburg by the mails of Tuesday the 21st day of October? The course of post to Rotterdam is about twelve hours longer, and the Rotterdam Courant of 28th October inserts a letter from Cuxhaven of the 19th; which letter, if it came
by the Hamburg mail, could not leave Hamburg until the 21st.] — Translator.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17.
From Washington, Dec. 16.
Mr. Lewis this day called up the bill for building a bridge across the Potomac. It had two readings and its third is to be tomorrow. For considering the bill the votes were 55 to 36: for engrossing for a third reading 55, the noes were not counted.
The amendments to the suspension bill which both houses have made, have been concurred in by both houses.
Discussion of private petitions has occupied most of the time of the house this day.
We last evening received our New-York papers by private conveyance—They mention the arrival of the October British Packet: That there were 6 ships, two brigs, &c. below, detained by bad weather, among them the Ambition, from Amsterdam, which she left the 20th October.
Phil. paper.
The following article translated from a Dutch paper, is convincing evidence of Bonaparte's intention to re-establish the kingdom of Poland. If he succeeds, his brother Jerome will, no doubt, be solicited to wield the sceptre:
On the 3d of October, the following publication was issued, according to the order of the day, to the grand army.
The marshals are informed that the emperor has created a legion of the North, under the orders of general Zayonschek two thirds of the officers of which are to consist of Poles.
In consequence of this, all deserters, which shall arrive on the various points where the army may be stationed, will be sent on with passports to Landau, where the legion is to be formed. In the course of a few days several Polish officers are to set out for the different divisions of the army. His majesty commands, that an officer be appointed by the etat-major , out of every corps of the grand army, to receive the deserters and send them forward to Landau.
MR. FOX'S WILL.
Extracted from the Registry of the Prerogative Court, of Canterbury. (From a late London newspaper.)
This is the last Will and Testament of me, the Honorable Charles James Fox, of Saint Anne's Hill in the Parish of Chertsey in the county of Surrey.
Whereas the late Mr. Redman, of Hatton garden, did, by his Will, give and bequeath unto me a legacy of five hundred guineas, which sum I shall be entitled to some future time to receive, together with the interest that will become due for the same. Now I do hereby give and bequeath one moiety, or equal half part, of all such monies, unto my nephew, Henry Fox, son of General Fox; — and the other moiety, or other half part thereof, unto Robert Stephen, a youth now living with Lord Viscount Bollingbroke, in America. And whereas I am entitled to one annuity, or clear yearly sum of one hundred pounds lately granted to me by his Grace John Duke of Bedford, for and during the term of the natural life of Harriet Willoughby, in the grant thereof named: — NOW, I DO HEREBY give and bequeath the same annuity unto my wife Elizabeth Bridget, for and during the term of her natural life, if she the said Harriet Willoughby, shall so long live; and from and after the decease of my said wife, unto the said Harriet Willoughby, for her own use and benefit. I give, devise, and bequeath, all the rest and residue of my personal estate, of what nature or kind soever, not by me before disposed of, and also all and singular my real estates, whatsoever and where soever, unto my said wife, Elizabeth Bridget, her heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns for ever; only I wish her to make presents in my name of any books, pictures, or marble, she thinks fit, as remembrances of me to the following friends; — Lord Holland, Gen. Fox, Gen. Fitzpatrick, Lord Robert Spencer, Lord Fitzwilliam, Mr. Hare, the Bishop of Down, Lord John Townshend, Miss Fox, and Mr. Bouverie. There are many others whom I love and value to the greatest degree; but these are my oldest connections. I nominate, constitute, and appoint my said wife, Elizabeth, Bridget, sole executrix of this my will; and revoking all former wills by me made, do declare this only to be my last will and testament. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this twenty-first day of July, one thousand eight hundred and two.
C. J. FOX, (L. S.) Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Charles James Fox, as and for his last will and testament, in the presence of us, who, in his presence, and in the presence of
each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses thereof.
