TO THE runic.

" It is unnecessary to render an account to my
good people of Germany of the motives for the
war which is 'tow commencing; they are evident
to impartial Europe.
" Bent under the superior power of France.
that peace which deprived me of half my subjects,
procured us no blessings ; it on the contrary hurt
us more than war itself. The heart of our coun-
try was impoverished. The principal fortresses
were occupied by the enemy ; agriculture was
neglected, as well as the industry of our cities
which had risen to a very high degree. Liberty of
trade being interrupted, naturally closed all the
sources of ease►. and prosperity.

" By the most exact observance of the stipulated
treaties, t hoped to obtain' an alleviation for my
people, and at last to convince the French Emperor
that it was his own interest to have Prussia in•
dependent, but my intentions, my exertions, to
attain so desirable an object, proved- fruitless.—
Nothing but haughtineis and treachery was
the rc'ult ! We discovered, but rather lute,
that that Emparor'i coni-eritions true mart
ruinous to us than his open wars. The moment is
now arrived in which no illusion respecting our
condition can remain.—Bramlenburgbers ! Prus-
sians! Silesians ! Pomeranians ! Lithuanians !
you know what you have suffered during the last
seven years—you know what a miserable fate
awaits you, if you do not honourably finish the
now commencing canflict.—Remember former
times—remember the illustrious Elector, the great
FREDERlCK—remember the benefits for which our
ancestors contended, under their direction. The
liberty of conscience—•bonour—independence—
trade—industry .and .knowledge. Bear in mina
the great example of our allies the Russians--
Think of the Spaniards and Portuguese ; small na-
tions have even gone to battle, for similar benefits,
against u wore powerful enemy, and obtained
victory. Remember the Swiss and the Nether-
lands.

" Great sacrifices are required from all ranks;
because our plan is 'great, and the number and
means of our enemy not less so. You, will make •
them sooner for your country—your King, than for
a foleign ftegeOts wbo by so many examples has
proved he would take your sons and last strength
for designs to which you arc strangers. Confi-
dence in God, constancy, courage, and the poWer-
fill assistance of our Allies, wilt favour our just
cause with glorious victory. But however great
the sacrifices may be required from. individuals,
they, Will not outweigh the sacred interests for
which they are given, foi.‘which we combat, and
must conquer, or cease to be Prussians or Germans.
.‘ We are now engaged in the last decisive
contest for our existence, our independence
and our property. There is no, medium between
an honourable peace or glorious ruin. Even this
you would manfully support for your honour, be-
cause a Prussian and German cannot live without
it. But we dare confidently trust, God and our
:firtn purpose, will give our just cause victory,
and with this an uninterrupted Peace, and the
return 'Of happier times.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S ADDREss,

icTo M ARMY,

Often have you expressed your wiobes of
fighting for the liberty and independence of .your

conntry.7-The moment for doing it is now arriv-
ed is no member of the . Nation by whom
this bat Fdlt. Youth and men voluntarily fly to arms.
What t! emisrree.will, you who bt:lOnkto. the
standing army a call. From you, ordained to de•
fend the native country, she is entitled to demand
what is Otifer.ed bythe others.

" See whiit Utunbers fori,ake everything they hold
most dear, to venture their lives with you in. their
country's cause ! you Will therefore doubly feel
your sacred duty !
May all of you, on the day 'Of battle, or in
time of trouble, keep M mind moderatiOn 'and
due discipline! Let indivictull ambition, be it
either in the.highest or lowest of the'army, sink
before that of all! lie that feels for his country
does not think of. self ! May the envious meet
contempt when the general welfare only is con-

cerned. Every thing else must now give way to
this Victory proceeds from God ! Show' your-
selves worthy of his high protection by'obecllence,
and fnlfilling your duties. Let courage, con-
stancy, loyalty, and good discipline, be your
renown ; fnllow the example of your forefathers;
be worthy of them, and remember your posterity!
a A Su re reward will fall on him who distinguishes
himself ; deep disgrace and punishment on him
that forgets his duty.

" Your King will. rawsiisbe with you, and
with him the Crown Prince and the Princes of
his [rouse. They will fight along with you. They,
and the whole nation wilt combat with you, and
at our side a valiant people come to onr as,
sistance, and to the assistance of all Germany,
a people, that by glorious deeds has secured its
independence.

" They relied on their Sovereign, their leader,
their cause, their own strength,—and God was
with them : so will it be with you ! for we also
fight the great fight for the independence of our
country.

" Confidence. in God, courage, and perev vr-
time, be our word.
