dera nations have constantly followed, in this
resped, the usages of which the ancient had left
them the example ; those usages which the Romans
adopted from the time they entered into the rank of
civilized nations. Since the time of these srlemu
forms, of which Titus Livius has consecrated the re-
membrance, in the let book of his history, to these
words, written upon the most terrible weapon of
Sovereigns, Mal ratio Regan, ; bow many monu-

they seek to avert the blows which the ruin and

It is not until after the burning of Copenhagen,
and the seizure of the Danish fleet, it is not until
it saw itself persecuted by the general indignation,
that the English Government published a Declara•

Bat when a Government proceeds to such extre-

What impression is made on it by the indignation
excited against it from one extremity of Eutope to
the other ? Can the general hatred affect it, or uni-
•ersal contempt humble it ? Has it a charader to
defend, or a remnant of honour so save ? Can it be
accessible to a 'movement of shame, or to a dispo-

you, since it wonld have spared you all the odium of
such an expedition ; but it would have tarnished
the Danish name; and the disasters of Denmark
cannot be regretted by that nation, wheu it retells
that they have saved it from this stain. With what
sacrifices did you expel to pay for its ignominy ?
You take care Dot to tell ; but all the universe knows
that your politics are as avaricious as cruel ; and, be-
sides, how dare you presume to call those sacrifices,
itbich you would have offered the Danes in ex-
change for their fleet and their honour ?
" Deeply at the disappointment of this hope has been felt
by His Majesty, he has the consolation of relleBing, that no
exertion wa• left untried en his part to produce a different
result. And while he laments the cruel necessity when l has
obliged ham to have recourse to acts of Ischtility against a na-
tion, wit'i which it was His Majesty's most earnest desire to
'have established the relatinuaol cominon interest and &Mimics ;
Ilia Majesty feels confitent that, in the eyes of Euwpe and of
the World, the justification of his conduct will be found in
the commanding and indispensable duty, paramount to :di
others ansoogst the obligation' of a Sovereign, of providing,
while there was yet time, Ica the immediate security of his
peolaw.•
saving been unable to persuade the Danes to be
guilty of cowardice, you console yourselves for it,
by reflelling that no exertion was left untried by
you to persuade them to it. You wished at one
atroke to plunder and to dishonour them.—
You have plundered them, but the infamy has
recoiled upon you, and you seek to console
yourselves for having executed only half of your
design ; regretting rather that you &I not render
them at once both wretched and infamous, than
that you rendered yourselves infamous by reducing
them to misery.
You talk of a cruel necessity, and pretend even to
lament it You wish that in the eyes of Europe
and the world, the justification of your condo&
may be found in the commanding and indispensable
'dory of providing for the security of ycur nation.
You are sensible then, that your condo& needed jos-,
tification ; that Europe and the world could not but
censure it ; and youpretead to excuse yourselves in
their eyes by a cruel necessity ; as a wretch whom
hunger has impelled to put the knife to the throat of
an honest man, might plead before his Judges
You have used the dagger. and do you still think
that there is a justification, an excuse for you ? Let
us tee what is this cruel necessity, this indispensable
duty of providing for your security. This the se•
quel of your Declaration wiA show us.
" His Majesty had received the most positive information of
tbe determination of the present Ruler of Fraser-_ to occupy,
with a military force, the territory of Holitain—'er rue purpose
of escluMng Great Britain from all her accustomed eliennels of
communicators with the Cintinent; or inducing ur compelliug
thcCuurt of Denmark enclose the passage of the Sound against
the Srßi.h comatioce and navigation ; stud of availing himself
of the aid of the Danish Marine for the invasion of Gram Bri-
tain and of l'eland."'"
You labour to establish three falls, which would
indeed be necessary foe your justification. You wish,
to persuade Europe That yon had authentic
information respelling the plans of the Emperor
Napoleon ; IL That these plans threatened your
security ; 3. That you had no other means of pro.
lidieg for your security, than by treating the Danes
as you have done. You acknowledge the need you
have of these three facts. You are sensible that if
one of the three is proved to be false, your condo&
towards Denmark is without excuse, and wiil al-
ways be deemed the height of iniquity. Now these
three facts are false, and it is easy to prove them to
be so. And, in the first place, how can you have
received positive information of the resolutions and
of the plans svhi‘h you ascribe to the Emperor of
the French? Who revealed them to you ? What
proof or even what indication or them can you
produce ? If any fail could have been mentioned
as a cionmenerment of the execution of these plans,
what a handle you woulJ hare made of it ? Instead
of has you present us with nothing but the most
vague statements. You wish Europe to believe
ycur information to be certain, positive, and you
do not even suffer us to obtain a glimpse of dui
authentic sources from which yotsFetend to have
procured it. •
All Europe well knows, that yea have on the
Continent an 31 my of spies, commissioned to make
war on the fidelity of all those who approach So-
vereigns and their Ministers. All Europe likewise
knows, that such soldiers, always worthy of the
purpose for which they were desit.ed, sometimes
tbrn the offensive arms which you give thee,
whist probity, their most inveterate enemy, and
yet that they are continually sending you certain,
positive, and authentic information ; but all Europe
knows still better, that there is a country where the
eharader and genius of the Sovereign, and the at-
tachment of his Ministers, would render any at-
tack of this kind equally ridiculous and ineffeCtual.
If there lee any thing positive and anthentie, it is
she impem trable secrecy which. covers the designs o;
the Emperor Napoleon; and likewise that peocbgious
tepidity of action which is peculiar to him, and
which does not reveal most of his prejees, till they
ate esecutede Csa you then ave.v sit or means at

S

information ? Mention them, and perhaps Europe
will believe you. If you cannot, talk no more of
your authentic information ; and if you have no
other ground than conjedtures, fears, alarms, do
not assign them as an exculpatory reason. We shall

soon see whet falsehood there is in these conje

and what hypocrisy in these alarms.

But if the projeas which you ascribe to the Em-
peror Napoleon had been real, they would not
have authorised your conduit against Denmark.
Supposing even that these projefts had been still
more imminent; supposing that this Prince, relin-
quishing the charader of justice, which he makes
his glory, had resolved not only to occupy Holstein,

and involve Denmark in a common war against you,
but hkevise to subdue the Danes and to conquer
their two kingdoms, what tight would you have
had to prevent him, to ravage their coasts, to burn
their cities, to plunder their magazines, to rob their
arsenals, to carry off their fleet i What ! because
another Sovereign might have the design to be un-

just and atrocious towards the Danes. would that
give you a right to be so in reality ? This idea is taw
revolting to dwell upon. Will you still speak of

the commandia7 and indispensable duty of provid-
ing for your security ? It is easy 4o confound you on
tins point as on thr others.
Let us first observe, that it is demonstrn e ! by
fats, that the projefts which you are pleased to
ascribe to the Emperor Napoleon, never existed ;
and certainly he is sufficiently powe,ful to defy you
to answer this argument. He did riot invade the

Danish territory $ therefore he had no design to do
so. Every one knows that for more than six months

past, there have been in Ideekknburg, and the other
States of Lower Saxony. ►ordering on Holstein.
more French troupe than wno!.l have been required

to occupy that province and Slesuick. In voile/l-
ing them there, the Emperor Napoleon did not vio-
late either the territory of Hamburgh, or that of the
adjacent countries, as you accuse him of doing. h
was Prussia, your ally, that violated the territory of
those States, and drew thither the arms of France.
Since then, it is true. Denmark has direded.its at.
t ;ttion towards the defence of ft, continental pro-
vinces ; and thanks to your perniciods
thanks to the cruel foresight of your malignant
• policy, she stripped her island.:, which you de-
signed to attack, to send her forces into the pro-
vinces in the vicinity of the war which ,ots had
kindled. Thar, before she cauld have Pittetrated
into tbern,Franee would have had to fight the Danes,
that is, soldiers of the greatest bravery, and resolved'
to suffer every thing, and even death itself, rather
than dishonour ; but the Danish trocps, not much
inured to war, and commanded by im•xperienced
Generals, would have been able to oppose to the
French army but an unavailing resistance, or cal-
culated at the utmost to give some value to the tro-
phies colleded by the visors. The Emperor Na.
poleon could never projed such a victory; it was
with very different intentions that he had collvded
a formidable force on the Danish frontiers. What
were his views? It would be presomptuous to at-
tempt to penetrate them ; but we may observe, that
Swedish Pomeral.4 was open to you, that you had
allies there, supported by a strong place, and that for
a Long time you had promised them assistance which
should enable ti,rrn to ad against the French. These
then were to guard the country, of wl.kh you in-
tended to make the first conquest. To every im-
partial prison this destination will appear a thou-
sand times more probable than the design of occu-
pying the c3n.inentat provinces of Denmark ; a de-
sign of no utility to the French, and the tal.ehood
of which is demonstrated by the event ;slur, I re-
peat it, that Napoleon might have occupied these
provinces; lie did not, and therefore he had ao in-
minion of doing it.
The great swsfortune of the Danes has been, that
they did not sufficiently mistrust your politica, and
knew too li.tle of those of the Emperor Napoleon.
They took no precaution but against the Soft-
feign whom they ought not to have tented
Had his designs been susp.r.fted by them ? At all
events they could have entertaiaed no appi ehension
for the centre of their power, and never could you
have (mud in them less ground.; to jost:ty your
feigned alarms. In flat, the Emperor Napoleon
was perfally competent to pesters himself cf the
continental provinces of Denmatk ; but was lie
equally able to possess himself of Zealand ? It the
Danes were afraid of his enterprises, had they not the
means to proted their coast. ? Did they not know
where to find maritime succours ? Have they ever
shewn themselves ready to faU under the yoke
In filling holstein with troops, had they not mani-
fested their resolution to repel all violence ? And
because it was possiole that their independence
might be menaced, was it for you to hasten to
trample them under fen:

late war, in which, ace it ding to you, After having
violated a neutrality always ies.pefted by England,
it excused itself upon the impassibility of resistiag
the menaces of a formidable and neighbouring
power. Were France, this day. able to exercise
over Denmark the same influence which Russia
then exercised over it, the result for pa would be a
certain and iurmiaent il4hger /
Assuredly no Dane, nor even mil impattial
ropean, could civet to see such remembrances
transformed by you into justificatory mama. No
person could have thought that yaw would have
dared to remind him of your condoEl towards Dims
mark at the end of the late war. The etents are
registered in the history of the times, and the trea-
ties are in being. These are irrefragabla witnesses.
We still remember, that in the month of August.
1800. the two nations, being in profound peace,
your ships of war fired upon the Freua, and carried
her into your posts, merely becats“l the Commander
of the Danish frigate refused a visit and search, as
humiliating as contrary to the law of nations ; and
now you ate not afraid to impute to Desemirk she
violation of the neutrality ! You accuse her of as
hostile league with Russia, conclude] four months
afterwards, and this confederation had no othcr
objeft in view than the maintenance of the princi-
ples of the Maritime Neutrality, rendered sated for
a long period by the assent of all the Continental
Powers. The treaty is known, awl dues not contain
one single line which discloses a spirit of aggression.
You regard it, however, as hostile, and you thus
avow yourselves the natural enemies of all those
people who wish to defend their rights. You thea,
towards Denmark, abase your enormalus superi-
ority. That nation may recall her reverses of for-
tune without blushing.; but bow can you reproach
bar, without shame, with events of which no Dane
will ever speak without indignation ?
If it were true, that iu renewing her an-
cient engagements for the maintenance of tle
rights of neutrals, Denmark bad, in 1800, only
yielded to the menaces of Russia, and that as
this day that nation had been exposed to similar
menaces on the part of France, it would be just to
observe. that those of Russia, at the first epoch,
would have been-more turbulent or troublesome
for Copenhagen, than thine of France would have
been, even after the peace of Tilsit. The sea formed
a passage for the Russian flat ; it formed a rampart
or protection against the French army. The me.
Daces of France would then have been less support.
ed in latter times than those of Russia at the end of
!SOO; and if the charater of Paul I. Lactated them
suppositions of disquietude and alarms, inspired
amcnpt his neighbours, the charaiter of Napoleon
rejedls every idea of power compromised, and of
menaces hazarded. In the mean time, in granting
even that the influence or the menaces of France
would have obtained every thing from the weak.
ness of Denmark, and would have made you
incur the same dangers to which you have exaosed
yourselves durirg the last seven years, by her pre.
tended docility to Russian influence, how can we
see for you " a certain and imminent danger ?" It
would have Leen impossible to say what danger re-
sulted to England trodP the dispositions of Den-
mark, at the end of 1800, or the beginning of 180/.
for Denmark did not prepare any armament. and
her intentions then not having, as those of this day.
any thing of hostility in them, had consequeatly
nothing of a threatening aspefi. Besides, in order
to take from the Denies every means of injuring.
you had only occasion, at this epoch, to send
against them one of your fleets. In supposing
even the French to be masters of Zealand, did these
not remain to you a similar resource ? That re-
source, at least, would not hare sullied your purls
tics with a new stain.
