THE ILIMBL/RGII MzirL,

VIENNA, OCT. 4.--The Archduke CUARLES re-
turned to this City yesterday from Upper Austria,
and his Majesty the EMPEROR is expected to-day at
Luxemburg!).
Count KALKREUTII, General in the service of
Prussia, arrived here the day before yesterday : he
is charged with a Mission on the part of his Master.
Immediately after his arrival he had a long confer-
ence with the Count De STADION, Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs.
In consequence of the system of neutrality adopt-
ed by Austria, a line of demarcation had been drawn
for the security of the Country along the frontiers of
Germany and Italy. This,line is strongly furnished
with Troops ; but as the frontiers of Italy do not re-
quire so strong a force, several Hungarian Regi-
ments have received orders to march into Bohemia
and Upper Austria.
General ANDREOSS/, who is still here, but pre-
paring to quit this city, has received, as a present
from his Imperial Majesty, a very rich snuff box
set with diamonds.

BERLIN, OCT. 11.--Her Highness the Eleaoral
iticess of Hesse, who has been here since the 6th
of this month, was, brought to bed the day before
yesterday of a Prince.
Lord MoRFETH arrived, it is believed, yesterday
evening, at his Majesty's head-quarters at Erfurt!).

The contributions colle6led for furnishing the
troops with winter clothing amount already to
20,000 rix-dollars. The City of Potsdam under-,
takes to furnish the Queen's Regiment, which is
twice as numerous as any other in the army.
Yesterday a stranger, who had the air of an ac-.
complished Gentleman, but who it is said is disco-
vered to be a French Spy, was• arrested at an Inn in
this city. Several others have been arrested in the
Army.
'The Minister of Bavaria will soon set -out for
Munich ; the Minister of the Prince Primate goes
to Italy for the re-establishment of his health.
The Emperor of Russia has decidedly declared,
that he will be a Member of the Confederation of
the North.

BANKS OF THE MAINE, OCT. 7.—They write
from Hanau, 'that an Aide-de Camp of Marshal Au-
OZRZAtT has brought to the Commandant of the said
City an assurance, in writing, that the 'Emperor
NAPOLEON has acknowledged the Neutrality of
Hesse; and all the Corps of the French Army
have received positive orders to avoid, as much as
possible, touching not only the Hessian territory,
bat that which is dependent on, or under the pro-
teetion of his EleCtoral Highness.

A Corps of 6000 Wirtemburghers, and 4000
of the troops of Baden, is assembling near Ell-

wangen.

They write from the Banks of the Inn of the date
of the Ist of 061ober, that the French have shut
out all communication with the Fortress of Bran-
nan ; and that travellers and the post are in con-
sequence forced to take the road to Burghausen.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 7.---Since the 3d day of this
month no more troops have passed through this
City ; but we shall immediately have in our en-
virons an Army of Reserve of 2.5,000 men, which
will be commanded by Marshal Monma, who is
expected here in a few days.
Our, Sovereign has caused the report to be con-
tradiCted, that the young men of this City would
be subjected to the .conscription, and forced tc join
the Army.

EKFURTH, OCT. 9.—The Head-quarters of his
Prussian Majeky are about to be remoyed.to Blank-
enhagen.
HANOVER,' OCT. 10.—By virtue of a Proclama-
tion of his Prussian Majesty, signed INGERSLEBEN,
and published on the 7th of this month, the inhabi-
tants of Hanover and the old Troops of the Elec-
torate, are called upon to defend their Country.
His Prussian Majesty promises the latter that they
shall not be employed against their ancient Sove-
reign, and shall remain in the Country for its de-
fence. But his Majesty declares, at the same time,
that all military persons, who shall not be an-
nounced to enter into the service before the t sth of
,November of the present year, shall not only lose
the half pay they now enjoy, but never again re.r
ceive either pension or. employment. .

CONSTANTIN'OPLE, SEPT. 9.—The Rebels who
have erased ``the name of Sultan SELIM from all the
public prayers in the Mosques of Adrianople, and.
substituted that of his successor, MUSTAPHII, have
sent their patrolea to within four leagues of Con-
stantinople, and spread alarm through the whole
Plain Country. The inhabitants are taking refuge,
with their, most valuable effeas, in the villages si-
tuate along the Canal. The Divan is inclined to
appease these troubles, by giving up the -rnilitary
organization, which is the principal cause of them;
but the GRAND SIGNIOR has declared that he will
sooner leave his capital than yield to rebel-4, incl.
abandon t: reform

MANIFESTO
OF HIS PRUSSIAN MATESTY.

His Majesty the King of PausstA having taken up
arms for the defence of his People, considers it as ne-
cessary to lay before them and the whole of Europe,
the fatas which have rendered it his duty to take this
step. The political state of France has, for fifteen
years, been the scourge of humanity. That the pos-
sessors of uncertain power, who, since the year 1792,
have, in rapid succession, been at the head of France,
should render their authority only the instrument of
war, and seek their security only in the Misery of the
people, cannot excite great wonder. But the establish-
ment of a firm Government, not possessed by the
same necessity, animated anew the hope of the.
friends of Peace. NAPO LEON, invested with sove-
reign authority, viaorious, surrounded by 'weak
States, friendly disposed Governments, or conquered
and exhausted rivals, had it in his power to chuse a
better part—nothing more remained for him to do
for the greatness of France—for her happiness every
thing was in his power.
It is painful to be obliged ,to say,' that the French
politics still continued the same—an insatiable ambi-
tion was still the ruling charnaer of the French
Government. Arms and Treaties were employed
to the same purpose. The Treaty of Amiens
was scarcely concluded when the signal for the
first aas of violence followed. Two independent
States, Holland and Switzerland, were obliged to
accept a Constitution which changed them into
French Provinces.—The renewal of the war was- the

consequence. . .. • .
In the mean time Peace still continued on - the'
Continent. The German Empire had purchased it
with immense sacrifices. In the midst of this
Peace the French Troops made an irruption into the
territory of Hanover, which had no relation to the
war between France and England. They shut the
Ports of Germany to the British Flag—and that
they might effeft this, seized on Cuxhaven, and
got possession of a free State, still more uncon-
neaed with the war than even Hanover itself.

In the midst of this Peace likewise was it that their,
Troops, a few months afterwards, insulted the Ger-
man Empire in a manner which still more deeply
wounded the honour of the Nation. The Germans
have nOt avenged the death of the Duke D' ENGH lEN,
but the reolletaion of it can never be effaced from their

memories.
The Treaty of Lunevilleguaranteed the indepen-
deuce of the Italian Republic. In defiance of the
most solemn promises, NAPOLEON placed the Iron
Crown upon his head. Genoa was incorporated
with France. Lucca had nearly a similar fate only
a few months before. The Emperor, on a solemn
occasion, an occasion which imposed on him great
duties, had declared before his People and before
Europe, that he wished not to extend further the
boundaries of his Empire. A Treaty with Russia
likewise obliged France to provide an indemnifica-
tion for the' King of Sardinia, in Italy. Instead of
fulfilling these engagements, he seized on all those
territories which could be appropriated to such in,-
demnification.
Portugal wished to preserve her neutrality--eshe
was obliged to purchase with money'some moments
of deceitful security.
Thus there remained, with the exception of Turt
key, which still remembered the attack on Egypt--
and Syria, no Power in Europe which had not been
the obje& of unprovoked attack.
With these gas of violence were combined a sys,
tern of insult and contempt. A Journal, which an-
nounced itself as the voice of the Government, was ,
chosen as the chronicle of undisguised attacks on all
Crowned Heads.
Ndt one of these general attacks and insults were ,
foreign to Prussia, several were intimately conneEted
with her dearest interests ; and besides the wisdom
of that system, which considers all the States of
Europe as Members of one and the same family,
1 which calls all to the defence of each, and: points
out the danger resulting to all from the aggran-
dizement of one, was by experience sufficiently
confirmed. But it is especially necessary to state
what has been the condu& of France towards Prus- •
sia in her immediate relations with that Power.
It would bet superfluous to enumerate all the good
offices rendered to NAPOLEON by Prussia. Prussia
was the first Power which acknowledged him. No
promises, no threats, could shake her neutrality. ,
During six years she aeted as a friendly. neighbour.
She esteemed a braVe Nation, which had ever acted
generously by her, both in Peace and War ; and
she did justice to the genius of her Chief. The
remembrance of these times is nu longer retained
by NAPOLEON. Prussia had suffered the attack on
the EleCtorate of Hanover. In this she had coun-
tenanced an a& of injustice ; therefore was it her
first view to remedy it : she offered herself for it,
instead of England, under the condition that the
latter should cede it. It must, however, at least he ,
recolleaed, that thus a boundary was 'prescribed to
Franc', which she should not pass. NAPOLEON

sol.ernnly engaged rot to invale the neutrality of thi
Northern States, nor offer violence to any of them,
and especially' not to augmeat Li troops in the
Elcaorate.

Scarcely had he entered into these engagements'
when he broke them. Every one knows by what
an act of violence Sir FRANCIS RUMBC/ L,13 was seized.
Every one- knows how the Hanse TOwns were
forced to make contributions, under the name of
loans ; not to their own interest, but entirely as if
France had been at war with them. For the "first'
of these injuries the King was contented with art
imperfect satisfa&ion. Of the second he took no
notice, the fears of the Maritime Towns prever.t'.
ing him from making complaints. The King made
unexampled sacrifices for Peace ; and the main-
tenance of this Peace was ever the dearest wish
of his heart.

The patience of other Courts were sooner ex-,
hausted than his ; War broke out on the Conti-
nent. The situation of the King with respe& to
his duty was now more difficult than ever. To
prevent France from augmenting the troops she had
in Hanover, he promised to suffer no attack on
that territory. FrOm this moment the whole bur-
den of the relation ,petween France and Prussia
turned on this objet, without the latter deriving
the least advantage from it ; and by an extraor-
dinary chain of circumstances, Prussia, which only
wished to at impartially and remain neutral, ap,
peared to take part against the Allied Powers. All
the advantage arising from this position of Prus-
Sia• was entirely for. France, and the King was dai-
.iy threatened with collisions' as formidable to him,
-as decisively favourable to the plans of NAPOLEON-
. Who could have supposed that precisely the mo.
ment in which the King gave the French Govern-
ment the strongest proofs of his firmness, and a rare
example of the faithful fulfilment of engagements,
• into which..he had once entered, should be choien
by NAPOLEON to infli& on Prussia the most sen—
sible injury ? Who does not recollea the violation
of the Anspach territory on the '3d of o&ober of
the preceding year, notwithstanding the eipres re-
monstrance of the Civil Government, and his Ma-
jesty's Minister ?
This contest between that moderation which pars
dons every thing, that integrity which remains true
to its engagements to the last on the one part
and the abuse of power, the insolence inspired by
deceitful fortune, and the habit of only reckon-
ing on this fortune„ on the other, continued several
years.

The King declared to the French Government,
that he considered all his connexions with it aa
dissolved. He placed his Armies on a footing suit,
able to circumstances. He was now fully cone inc-
ed that no pledge of security remained for the
neighbours of France, but a Peace established on
firm principles, and guaranteed by all the 'owers
in common.

, His Majesty offered the Allies to be the mediator
in ,negociatiens for such a peace, and to support
them with all his force.

It is sufficient to know tho conditions then pro.,
posed to be convinced of the moderation which at
all times has governed the politics of his Majesty
in their whole extent. Prussia at this moment
listened not to the voice of revenge; she passed.
over the events of the late war, however violent
they -might have been, since they had been sanc-
tioned by existing Treaties. He required nothing
but the pun6tual fulfilment of those Treaties ; but
this he required without limitation. Count HAtTG-.
WITS :repaired to Vienna, where the French Em-

-; per* tfien was.
Scarcely had this Alinister been there some days,
when the whole face of affairs was changed ; the
misfortunes experienced by the Court of Vienna,
had compelled it to sign an armistice, which wag
immediately folloWed by a peace. The Emperor of
Russia sacrificed his magnanimous views to the wish
of his Ally, and his troops returned home. Prussia
stood now alone on the field of contest. He was
obliged to limit his policy by his powers, and instead,
as had been his wish, of embracing the interest of
all Europe, make his own security and that of his
neighbour his first obje&.

The Manifesto then proceeds to recite at length
the condu& of BONAPARTS with resped to Cleves,
Wesel, Hanover, &c.

" It was no longer doubtful that NAPOLEON had
determined to overwhelm Prussia with war, or
to render her for ever incapable of war, since
it was evident that he was leading her from humi-
liation to humiliation, till she should be reduced to
such a state of political degradation and feebleness,
that she could have no other will than that of her
formidable neighbour.

The last doubt at length disappeared; Troops
marched from the interior of France towards the
Rhine. The intent to attack Prussia was clear and'
certain. The King ordered a Note to be transmitted
