I.LCTOP', ii(GI-INESS OF. VIRTEMBEhG

TO i:fiE 'PROVINCIAL
,COttIbIITTEE.

STUTGARIS,OI;`r. 5,1805 The repeated proofs,
!
during the eight. reari of my reign, of my_paternal
care for the good of my.Bubjeas, to which my con-
science bears testimony-; will, I trust, justify my
claims upon the confidence of my States and People.
Some time since I communicd,,thrpugh the_me.-

•
dium of my Privy Council, every .interesting ai-ti-
cular.,reittive to the country and. rny*lf, generally
and individually;. and,- "p.y. ,the Privy Council, the
Provincial Committee have: been infi)rriled of ;the

dangerous situation to which my Country and, my
Elee_torate arenow exposed, with the most 1-)r4sing

necessity for adopting such energetic means as may
yet be sufficient to avert,tlle impending danger.
Notwithstanding this, in return for the expla-
nations hitherto communicated by me, I halm. ex-

perieuced nothing: but distrust and delay, My Privy
Council refused to obey my injun4tiOns,_in respe4 to

. _
the measures proposed, and these, of course, re-
mained without effea.. I here pass over the disre-
speaful expressions which pervaded. several of the
explanations that were interchanged between us—l
renewed my exertions—they were
.opposed by.pro-
crastination' and delay ; and even. the sincerity of
my views were called in question. Still I never .suf-
fered myself to be diverted from nay endeavours to
secure The good Of my Country.
" •My principal objeft was to obtain either an
armed or a simple. neutrality ; but this. was refused
to me, both by the Emperors:of France and. Austria.
Each of them was equally solicitous for my alliance ;
and evert a considerable 'German Court, upon which

I had a right to place the greatest hopes, refused,
to declareitself. Vain were all my efforts; the case
terminated as I foresaw it would.

My Country . was inundated by 'the French
Army even my residence was not soared ; the first
was in a manner taken by storm, and the latter was
threatened with similar.treattnent I remained un:-
moved ; I braved the danger which threatened my
person) my dignity, and all my .connexions by the
,dearest ties of blood---my wife, my children, and
every thing that was dear to my heart. I had pledged
myself not to desert my subjeas, and persisted in
my resolution. .
" French '.Emperor came to me is person
I soliciteclhin;to grant my -neutrality: His decla-
ration was this:H‘:He that is:not:wiihr me, is against
me.' The fate of:Wirtemberg was at this moment
vested:in my. hands.. Had I resisted, my country
would have-been ruined. My dignity, as an Elec-
tor, was in danger of being exposed to• the fate
of many jothu cincely Families, now constrain-
ed to live"upOu the mercy of. other Courts; and to
receive ,the, sums allotted for their subsistence as
an, alms : my
,Country Would have been treated as a
. conquered province by the Viaorious Army of the
French.

. " It was proposed, on the part of Wtrtemberg,
to' supply a contribution of eight millions, two
thousand horses, and as many men as, would have
been sufficient, for conducing the French Artillery
and other carriages attached to the Army. This
was not accepted ; but a demand was made for ten
thousand men and one thousand horses,- to be put.
under, the ,disposal of the French Army. I an-
swered, that this was beyond the reach of my abi-
lities,. and that the military in Wirtemberg- were
accustomed tothe grant of furloughs every year,
which would, of course, be still expeeced: What
you cannot died, your country can,' Was the an-
swer of the Empe'ror NiroLEoti. I replied, my.
States will not consent.' The French Emperor im-
mediately said, I will support you against your
States.'

No choice .now remained I subscribed to
the Articles of the Treaty, a translation of whiCh,
from the French into the German 'language, so far
as it relates to this business, I will now read to

you
His Majesty the Emperor of the French, and
his Highness the Eleaor of WirteMberg, have this
day concluded. the following-Treaty ; the former by
his Minister, M. DIDELOT, his Envoy at thi's Court;
and the latter by baII4.WINZING,ERODE, his Mini-
ster, of State and 'Foreign Affairs, and President of
Privy Council : .•

• Article I. His Majesty the Emperor of the
French and king. of Italy guarantees .to,his Elect
toral Highness of Wirtemberg. the independence
and integtity of his territories, -with all- the privi-
leges and prerogatives now• in possession of the
-Ele6lorat House, as they were established -by the
Treaty of Luneville, and the conclusum of the Em-
• 11. ,His Eleaoral Highness, on his part, engages
to supply the I,,rench Army with ten thousand men,
including from seven to eight thousand Infantry, and
one thousand horses.' -
" This Treaty I have signed ; -and I will—l must—. .
abide. by it : but cannot fulfil it unless you sup-
ply the means. I submit the Treaty to
your consideration; and require your consent • 'for
the levy of two thousand men. I also require the
assistance of a sum in specie ; not less than half -a
million will be adequate to the 'present state of af-
fairs. This demand does not originate With rite ;
the Emperor who-has subscribed to this Treaty
• would have imposed more, had I consented to. ir,
but this I refused.
" The French Emperor has left me this after-
noon,,
infull persuasion that the terms of the Treaty.
will be complied with. to ,the utmost extent:—
Should these fail in the, least degree, disagreeable
consequences to the Country will be unavoidable.
You are the Representatives : into your .hands I'
commit the fate of Wirtemberg. It depends upon
your decision to save the Country, or to render it
unhappy. Think 'maturely on' the subjea ; -I speak.
to you as a father. Mistake me not : it iSpot my
demand—it is that of the -French Emperor. • I re-.
peat it the third time; mistake me not : I beseech
you to-weigh it maturely, and to laok.forward with
calmness to the weighty. responsibility for which
you will have to answer to GOD, your Country,
your own Consciences, and to posterity, should you,
in this dangerous crisis, expose the State to 'an over-
throw: ' ' •
I,' for my own part, will.do -my duty-L-I swear
it ; I will never consent to the redn6tiOn ,of my
House into a-state of 'wretchedness. I submit_this
to your tranquil consideration. On -this -account-I
have prepared "ail apartment in' my
.castle; where
