LETTER FROM THE EMPEROR AND KING.

SLNA/ORS, •
We have quitted our capital fb place our- I
selves in the midst of our Army of Germany, at the
moment we saw with certainty that its flanks' were ,
menaced with unexpected movements. Scarcely'
arrived on the frontiers of onr States, we had an
Opportunity of perceiving how much our presence
was necessary there, and of congratulating our-
selves on the .defensive. measures that we had taken
before we quitted the centre of our Empire: Al-
ready .t-he Prussian Armies, ready for war, were in
motion in all parts ; they, had passed their fron-
tiers ; Saxony was invaded, and the wise Prince
who governs it was forced to a& against his will,
and against the interest of his people. The Prus;
sian Armies had arrived in the face of the canton-
/Rents ,of our troops. Provocations of every kind,
and even ads of violence,-. had marked the spirit
of lintred which animated our Enemies, and the
moderation of our soldiers, who, tranquil at the
aspen of all their movements, astonished only at
receiving no orders, rested under the doUble con-: '
fidence of, courage and a just cause. Our first
duty has been to pass the Rhine ourself, to form
'our camps, and' to cause the sound of war to be
heard. It has spread into the hearts of all our
Warriors. Rapid and combined marches have
brought them, in the twinkling of an eye, to the spot
we had indicated. All our camps are formed ;
-We are going to march against the Prussian armies,
and to repel force by force.'_ At all times; we
ought to say it, our heart is sorely affeeted at this
constant preponderance which the genius of mis-
chief obtains in Europe, occupied , incessantly. in
traversing the designs we form for the tranquillity
:of Europe, the repose and happiness of the present
generation—besieging every Caleifiet by every kind
of seduction--leading those astray whom it cannot
corrupt—blinding them to their true interests, and
• launching them into the midst, of disputes, without
any other guide -than the passions it has known
bow to inspire them with. The Cabintet of Berlin
itself has not. chosen .with deliberation the part it
takes ; it has been thrown iote,it, with art, and, with
malicious address. ' The King haS found himself,
all at once, an hundred leagues froin his,capital, on
the frontiers of the Confederation of the Rhine,
in the -midst of his army, and opposite the French
troops; disperied in their cantonments, and who
thought themselves justified in counting upon the
ties which unite the two States, and upon .t he lavish
protestations made in all circumstances by the Court
of Berlin. In a war so just, in which we take arms
. only to defend ourself, who have provoked by no
-itt, by no pretension, and. of which it would be im-
possible to assign the true cause; we reckon entirely
on the atipport of-the laws, and the pectic ; whom
eircurn6tancs call. upon to 'give us new proofs of
their love, of their devotion, and of- their courage.
On our part, no personal sacrifice will be painful to
_usereito danger will stop use—whenever it is the ques-
tioa to assure the right's, the honour, and the pros-
perity of the people. ,

nitsT REPORT TO lIIS MAJESTY BY THE :',IIN'IorER
FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Odtober 3, 1205.

cr SIRE, T
" Your Majesty, on the first news received of
the armaments'of Prussia, was for a long time
credulous. Forced to believe them, yeti attributed
them only to a misunderstanding. You hoped that
this misunderstanding would quickly' be cleared up;
And that these armaments would then cease.
The hopes or your Majesty had their source
in yoUr constant love of peace. They have been
deceived. Prussia no longer meditates war—she
has made-it ; •from what motives ? •I am ignorant
of them, and I know no one who does know 'them.
If PruSsia had any cause of complaint, any injury,
.any reason fur arming, was she obliged. to be silent?
The Minister of your INlajesty- at Berlin—would
not he have been made acquainted with. it ?' Would
DM M. KNOBELSDORF have been charged to make
- it known ? Quite on the contraryL-M. KNonims-
DORF brought to your
.Majesty only an' amicable
Jotter ; and he has received assurances equally
