IMPERIAL UKASE.

ALEXANDER,

iliftloll 07 •LL TUC RUSSIA% &C. &C. &C.

Our Manifesto of the 30th of Alguit, declared
the situation of our affairs with the French Govern-
ment.

At that period of our hostile situation. Prussia still
formed a barrier between us and the French. who
tyrannized over various parts of Germany. But.
soon after. the fire •1,1 war blazed asst in Prussia also ;
after various disasters and important losses on her
part, our own dominions on the frontiers are now
threatened by the game.

To Russians. accust,,rned to love the glory of
their country, and to sAcrifice every thing to it, it is
unnecessary to caplain bow unavoidable these events
have made the present war.

Honour unsheathed our sword for the proteeion
of our Allies : how much mere justly must it be
drawn for the defence of oar own safety 1 Before
these events could approach our frontiers, we took,
at an early period, every measure to be ready to
meet them. Having, in gond time, ordered our
away to more loaritcl the frontier, we hen t stew
otoliwininond oar Ot•eral Field-Marshal Kamen-
eko, so doioinaad it. and to ao aguinit the enemy
with all the forces entrusted to him.

We are assured, that all our faithful whj•Rs will
join us in fervent prayers to the Almighty, who di-
reds the fate of States, and the issue of battles, that
he may take our righteous cause under his all-pow-
erfal p rotedion, that his victorious strength and
bl-ssing may dire& the Russian armies employed for
rep lling the general foe of Europe.
We are confident, that our faithful &Ojeda of the
Government on the frontier will, in the present cir-
cumstances, particularly, redouble the proofs of their
attachment and their seal for the crAtmoss good; ar d
that, unshaken by fear or delusive promises, they
will tread with firmness the same path in which,
under the protedion of the laws, and of a mild go-
vernment, they have hitherto enjoyed tranquillity
and undisputed property, and shared in the univer_
sal prosperity of the whole empire.
Lastly. we are confident, that all the children of
the land. relying on the help of God,on the valour of
our troops, and on the known experience of their
leader, will spare no sacrifice. no efforts, which
patriotism and the safety of our country may
demand.
