vaded : the wise Prince who governs it has been
forced to aa contrary to 'his will; the frontlet's of
the States of the Confederation of the Rhine have
been swounded ; the troops 'of his Majesty have
been tre:,ted in' a hostile inanner, and the public
'peace Of EUrOpe violated shamefully, and without

motives.

crown and nation,' and the .security of his Allies,
has drawn from its sheath that sword which he re-
ceived 9n the altar of the living God, for the triumph
'of justice and the defence of his country. It is in-
this solemn moment, when he had just notified to
the Senate his , sovereign ~resolutions, that 1 invite
you, in,his name, to call down upun his vidoxiouS
Eagles the continuance of heavenly blessings. Col-
lea the people together iu the temples ; let all the
'faithful then 'assemblea pray for the august Fathe't
of the State, and fur those of their children who fly
to the 'common.. defence : let. them demand of the
God of Armies (by whom Kings reign) the safety
of the Prince, the preservation of our Soldiers, Vic-
tory; and Peace.

and friendship, had seen without` distrust the arena- '
meats of Prussia. He was going to recall his soldiers
to the triumphal fetes : the moment of their return
