and Ledorairia, ice. Ace., Archduke of Austria.
" In consequesce of the Treaties concluded with the Allied Pow-
ers, and fart-er Conventions concluded with them, the Prorinets J

the river T eine, and the I'o, together with part of the territory of
Manful on the right bunk of the latter river, also the Province of
the VeLeliti, the Counties of Chravenna and Bormio, arc incorpo-
rated with the Austrian Imperial Dominions, and united for ever to
them as au integral part. Animated with the most ardent desire to
'wafer on the irihrbitants of these provinces and districts an unequi•
vocal proof of our Imperial affection, and the high value we set upon
this imior, and also to give them nu additional gnarautce for the
close lies which henceforth bind them to ns, We have thought tit to
create the abovementioned Provinces and Districts into a Kingdom,
by the title of the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, and have,
therefore, published these presents for the purpose of making known
to every one this our imperial determination."
[Here follow the Articles, 1,5 in number.—Among other provi-

are to be retained; that the Kingdom is to be governed by a Vice-
roy, and divided into two Governments, of which Milun and Venice
shall be the capitals.]

Of the youtt, glowing with emulation, thronged round the standards,
to bear, with joyful self-denial, unusual hardships, and resolved to
brave death itself; then the best strength of the people intrepidly
joined the ranks of my brave soldiers, anti my Generals led with me
into battle a host- of heroes, who have shewn themselves worthy of
the name of her fathers, and heirs of their glory. Thus we and our

mite& adherents. Thonelf he hiniself, while still at the head of a
cenaiderable armed force, declared his abdication to be a voluntary
sserifice to the happiness and repose of France, he now regards" this,
'lke every other convention, as nothing. He is at the head of per-
jured soldiers, who desire to render war eternal. Europe is again
threatened : it cannot suffer the man .to remain on the throne of
France who loudly proclaimed universal empire to be the object of
his continually renewed wars, who confounded all moral principles
by his continued bleach of faith, and who can, therefore, give the
world ro security for his peaceable intentions. _
" Again, therefore, arise to the combat ! France itself wants our
aid, and all Europe is allied with us. United with your ancient
companions In victory, reinforced by the accession of new brethren
in arms, you go, brave Prussians to a just war with me, with' the
Princes of my family, with the Generals who have led you to vic-
tory. The justice of the cause we defend will ensure us the victory.
I have ordered a erneral arming, according to my Decree of Sep.,
tetriber 3, 1814, which will be executed in all my dominions.
" The army will be completed, the volunteer companies of gagers
be formed. and the Lstidwehr called together. The youth of the
II chief classes of the citizens, from the age of 20 upwards, are at li-
berty to join either the Land wehr first called out, or the yager corps
of the regular army.
" Every young man who has completed his 17th year, may, if pos-
-1 setsiott the requisite bodily •treneth, join the army at his own choice.
T publish a particular regulation on this subject. Concerning the
formation of single corps and of theLandwelir, a notice will appeap
in eve's. province from the Co:Aituted Authorities.
Thins united, with all Europe in arms, we again enter the lists
awaited Napoleon Bonaparte and his adherents.

world, for order, for morality, for your Klee and your Country:
