THE NATIONAL REGIS'

not only by sea, but also by land. The PRINCE REGENT'S
declaration, is a manly and expi.:it exp isition of our con.
duct, and that of France and America ever since the pro-
mulgation of the Berliti and. Milan Decrees, compelled us,
in self defence, to issue the Orders in Council. It shews
that sufficient satisfaction was offered to America, on every
subject of complaint; that we even left it to her to propose
another mode by which we might repel the fatal effects of
the French Decrees on our trade, with the least possible
detriment to her. It proves that all our offers of accommo-
dation were rejected, whilst the conduct of France, although
always insulting, and far more injurious than ours to the
commercial prosperity of the United States, drew forth
nothing but compliance and submission from their Govern..
silent. It lays open the causes of the war, and the injustice
of America so plainly, as to render it impossible for parties
at home, or nations abroad, to impute any ambitious motives
to this country, fcir engaging in a contest whit.h, if not
highly glorious to her arms, may be substantially beneficial
to her interests.

COPY OF A LETTER FROM COUNT ST. MAIS AN TO THE MINISTER
FOR FOREIGN AI FAIRS.

" Berlin, Jan. 1.

" MONSEIGHZUR .—An Aid-dc-Camp from the Duke ot.Tarente,
dispatched by the Prince of Neufchatel, has reached me. He brought
the the enclosed dispatch from the major-General, with the letters
which accompanied ir. The whole of it arrived at the moment when
I was in the house of Marshall the Duke of Castiglioni, with the
Chancellor Baron De Hardenberg, Count De Narbonne, and Prince
De Hatzfeld.
" Baron De Hardenberg appeared indignant; he immediately went. to
the king, who had just returned to the catty. I am assured the king has
determined to dismiss Gen. D'York, cause him to be arrested, give
the command to Gen. Kleist, call upon the troops, although there is
but very little probability t hat they can be withdrawn, and to enjoin
them to place thentselv,:s under the orders of the King of Naples, to
address ail Orders to this Prince to publish to the French army at
Po tzeam, in Silesia, the G azettes, an 0 rdre du Jour, in consequence.
" In short, I alit assured that oil this occasion the king has again
publicly manifested his attachment to the cause of his Imperial Ma-
jesty and King, and his indignation at what has just taken place.
" I 14ave the honour, Ac.
" The COUNT DE ST. MARSEN."
