4IC FOR'i, 13, 8..7-Yesterday.. the folloVing
noticet ancery of this City
. " The Bur,liers..haye' been already informed 1w
the publication of the'yfi, of, tle:Mailifesto of the
tinperar of the French and king of Irtly, by which
a contribution of tour million of- fa-41)cs laid-
upon this City.. the.ci4ens
.and the, inha-
bitants were burdened
_with_the,qkiarteritig of an un-
common` number of, tKopiis.f.iwl4ll Occasioned an
uncommon run upon the city chest; we received a
positive declaration ;,fr'oni..Marslial,AugritEAu., l-hat.
if half the sum of four Millious frallcs, Were .not
paid in Without defay, the City must be infallibly
exposed to the expence c)f providing,quarterstfor ten
thousand men, without any mitigationor abatement :..
on the contrary,_ should the above'sum be paid. ac-
cording to the conditions' requiied; the burden' oCca
sioned by the quartering, of the-troops would be. im
mediately alleviated
.; and we were further informed,
that there was also reason to hope iiir,the graciow
consideration of the Emperor, itirespett to the other
moiety. It was likewise added,: that 'the idea": of
ere&ing an hospital,for four'or.iive hundred sick-, pr
the expence of the City of Frankfort, would not be
insisted upon._ •

Under !the
_incalculable < misfortune of being.
compelled to submit to theie :and other i-ig-oto6'S
measures, the Senate thought they could. riot, fulfil
their duty. otherwise than by expreSsing their.sub--
mission to 'the conditions proposed by his Excellency
Marshal AUGEREAU; their acknowledgment of their
particular obligations to him,, and, in the name: of
the Citizens and Inhabitants of. Frankfizt, to: pro-
mise the payment of the above-mentioned two mil-
lions of francs.

" But for the fulfilment of this obligation, and
for raising the necessary sums, notwithstanding the
Senate has made use of every awaits, and all the
resources in their power, and continue most.
faithfully to exert all their influence to have- the
burden removed, occasioned by the quartering, of
the French troops, and the daily. expellees attending,
still they find themselves reduced to the lamentable
necessity, in order to raise the above-mentioned two
millions of francsirto-eall upon the Citizens at large,'
who are capable of contributing, including the Mem--
bers of the Corporation, and
.each of the Administra-
tions, in order that all persons may have an oppor-
tunity of exemplifying their patriotism, according to'
their circumstance, and in propprtioh to the exi-
gencies of their couutry.under the present pressure
of imperitns necessity.
" Should the means prove indequate. to the end
proposed, the city, will not only be exposed to great
inconvenience, but the Senate will also. be.liable to
a severe responsibility. To prevent any 'failure. in.
the application of the means, the Senate has hereby
ordered, that, no • person shall be required to sub-
scribe to this loan beyond, his means '; that -those,
who are not provided _with cash, &c. shall be at
liberty to offer their uncoined silver or gold accord-
ing to its sterling worth, and in proportion to the
quantum required, ,

• " As the duty of averting the impending calamity
is, dot less binding upon. each indi% iduali than upon.
theiconArnunity at large,. it is hoped, that this -hard
measure will. inotwithstanding, be. embraced' as one
of the most sacred duties; and that the future recol-
leion contribute -most, -will.phave an
alleviating source for extinguishing the. painful re-
membrance of the past, while it will at the same
time exhibit a glorious proof of patriotismand public
spirit, and of what may be effe&ed under the'rnost
disagreeable circumstances."
