The Marshal of the Empire, Lefevre, has ad-
sl-_sled the following proclamation to the hatabit-
.,nts of the bank of the Rhine :
•' The union of your provinces edit France markt two cc-
i brAted epochs in the history of nations great King made
than out ors, family, whi -h subsevent revolutions tore
• I nder : a greater hero, after enteral aiset, has reconstituted
rhe same society, and it is thus that certain evedts are teem-
r.iaced in the cage., :if life by the sane germ's of men, arid the
',overtime, of people.

srviscerated by a sage policy. Th- certainty of French coin
ancece was wanting to your industry, and Cis fertility of your
soil. Nature had lifelessly, 011CIRI your territory under the pro-
tcelien of a grand riser; it was, from the disorder of natant
limits, but the theatre of the Mail of all Europe, and constantly
abandoned to devastation: your warlike virtual yen humbled
by the isolated state of your small principalities, and a tee
feeble union of yam mean. ; you wished to conquer, and 0.4
could not ! France herself was jealous of appropriating your
sentiments of honour, and your courage, to her Mil teary : the
grand agreement weii pronounced by the treaty of Lunetille ;

that you yourselves, ;weeded by meets powerful interests, should

" No °or could better make that eulogy on you than the
General who commands you. 1 am not a stranger to your
n.atmers, to your language, nor to your character; and I lodge
of your Nal in seconding ore nperatrons, by that which I expo

to render holies to the sentiments of the inhahitants of the
Banks of the Rhine; he has considered therm as an Invincible

their National Guards to the bravest French troop,, whom he
