" Obedient to your wishe..e and to the- repeated
requests and tails of the Country . to whose
,service
We have cheerfUlly .consecrated the greater part of
6th lives, we have disembarked in this Province of
Car3Ceas. The opportunity and the time appear
to us highly tiwourable fir the completiop of our
designs ; and all persons coniposing this army are
your' Friends or Countrymen ; all resolved to sacri-
lice their lies, if necessary; finr your liberty and in-
dereendeoce, under the anspites and proteEtion of
Ncivy-.1 With those auxiliaries; we'ean
safety say, that the day Will come, when, our Arne-
riea.recovering her sovereign independence, her sons
will be able freely, to show to the Universe her ex-
alted
spirit. The oppressive unfeeling Government.
which has obscured our-finer qUalities; and blacken=
ed with calumnies onr deference and character,
managed also to niaitiain her aboiniteible_system of
adminktrAion for three, successive.eetituries, but was
never,able to eradicate from cbr hetirts..those moral
and (-MI virtues which a holy Iteligion, and a regu-
lar Code of Law, incorporated with aur customs,.
and led to an honest and nmnrar cooese of action.
Let us be worthy then of those admirable qualities,
that the mean; Odious, agents of the Court of Madrid
being expelled, we May be able quietly to establish
the civil order necessary to the, completion. of so
horicurable. an undertaking. The recovery of
,our
rights.as Citizens, and of on:: national glory as Co-
lumbian Americans, will be amongst the least bene-
fits we shall derive from that:so just and necessary
a determination. The innocent Indians and other
Men will consider us as Brothel' Citizens, and that
precedency • belongs only to merit and virtue, In
which belief they will primarily obtain most certain-
ly and civil recompences, the reward of
merit alone.' If the Patch and Portuguese were
able in ',former times to throw. off the, yoke of
Spanish oppression—if the Swiss and Americans,
our neighbours, have equally succeeded to esta-
blish their liberty and independence with the ge;
neraleapplause of the world, and to the benefit
of their inhabitants, when each of them, separate-
, ly, scarcely contained two or three millions of
people ; t. lrv, then, shall we, who are at least'
sixteen millions, not be able easily to extricate
ourselves ? possessing, beiidei, aver and above
these coosifierations; the most fertile, inexhaust-
ible, and rich Continent in the known world.
The lad is, that it depends solely upon our own
and that the will, progressing to our indepen-
dence, union will assure to us permanent and per-
petual happiness—the Divine Provid'aace ordains it,
to ailevia,e, the miseries of our unhappy Country-
men, and fin' the proteclion and benefit of the hu-
man species. Those people who are 'timorous or
instruded, and who wish to inform themselves
of, the ground-work, of the justice and equiy which
those. proceedings require, joined to the. historical
truths that prove the inconceivable ingratitude, un-
heard of cruPitips, and atrocinns perp4cutioro of the

SUN OFFICE,'
THAEE O'CLOCK, P. M.

WE stop the Press to lay before oar Readers the
follo*ing clecisi've Manifesto, which has been issued
by the KING of PRUSSIA

The Manli&to of the King of Prussia is dated from.
the head-quarters at krihrth, the .9t.h of Ojtober.---
It is of very great length, and e..oe§ back, to the
beginning of the Revolt:6<ln in the year 1792,
recites all the violations of the ditrere.nt Treeties suc-
ees.sively coneladed"the Treaty of LunevWe, the
Treaty of NMiens,,,the-Peace cif Presbusgh, and the
various stipulations thade with Prussia: The abc+tioa
of the 'German ConStitution, by w- bleb " Princ+ 6113
had river offended
.France were deprilied of their
indeperidehee, and made the Vassals of the Ft-each
Government; ':without Consulting' the EMPEROR of
GERMANY, from..whom a crown was wrested; or
Russia', so lately become, a. guarantee of the Ger-
man ; Prussia, intimately interested
in that League, was a monstrous preceeding. Wars
and •coltimied. viaories have .sometimes produced
great and remarkable catastrophes, but such i ex-
ample, in time of Peace, was' never before siren to
• the. world." • - .

The Manifesto then p:oceect; to recite at length
,
the co:Ida& of BONAPARTL ith re.spea to Cleves,
Wesel, Hanover,. &C.

It was no longer doubtful that NAror.EoN. had
detertiiltied‘ to overwhelm Prussia with war, or
to render her f.i)r. •ever incapable of war, since
it was el,;ident, that he was leading her from humi,
liation id. harniliati.ob, till she should, be reduced to
tricsh a 'state of political degradation and feeblene?.s,
that she could ha‘e no other will than th:!t: of her
formidable neighbour. •

• ‘, The last doubt at length disapr:ared; Troops
niurclied from the interior of France towards the
tihine: `the intent to attael: Prussia was clear and
cert;tin. The King ordereda Note to be transmitted
by General KNOBELSDORr, containiug the conditions
on whidh he was ready to come to an eccommoda-
These conditions were,
1. That the Fr6cli Teonis- should immediately

tion.

•
evacuate Germany.
2. That France should oppose no. obstacle to the
formation of the Northern Confederacy; and that
this Confederacy might ernbrace .all the larger and
smaller States not included in the fundamental ACE
of the Confederation of the Rhine.

3. That s NegociatiOn should immediately be
commenced for the adjustment of all obje&s in dis-
pnte preliminary Article of which 'should tze,
the restoration of three Abbeys, and the separation
of the Town 'of:Wesel from the French Empire.
" These condi:ions speak. for thetbselves : they
,shew how moderate the •King, has beep •in his de-
Wands, even at this moment, and how much the
trialntenance of Peace, if France wishes Peace, de-
pends upon herself.

:“ The term 'peremptorily -fixed by the King for
the decision of Peace or War has elapsed. His Ma-
jesty has not received the answer of the Cabinet of
St. Cloud ; pr rather, the preprations made around
. hiM daily give
,that answer. The King can hence-
forth:confide the safety and honour of his Crown only
to arms. He leads to honourable combat an army
Worthy its former glory.. He reigns over a people of
whom he May be proud ; and while he is ready to
shed his blood for them, he knows what he may ex-
pea from energy and atie6tion : Princes, the honour
of the German name, have joined their banners with
his ; and a Sovereign who honours with his virtu-s
one of the first Throne in the world, is penetrated
with the justice of his cause. His Arms are
blessed, by the voice of Lis. people. With so many
motives to be conscious of her strength, Prussia may
.be perthitted continually to confide in her high des-

tiny."
