SAxoNsl.--:We Prussians enter your tertitoryto
Offer- you our fraternal hif`nd In the East of
j!,isrope the Lord bf klasts has' held a dreadltil
court of justice, and the Angel of Death has Cut
oil 300,000 of those strangers, by .the sword,
ta-
urine, and from that earth which they, in
the insolence of their prosperity,, would- have
brought under the yoke. We march wherever•G!a,
finger of the Lord directs us,'-to fight for the secu-•
• rity of the ancient thrones, and our national in-
dependence. With us comes- a valiant people,
who have. boldly
_driven back foreign oppression,
and in the high feeling Of its victories haVe pro-
miised liberty to the stibjugated nations. We bring
•to you the morisin4 purple of a new day. The
time for shaking off tt detestable yoke, which the
last six years dreadfully Crusised tis' down, has at
!env!) arrit.ed. A new war unluckily commenced,
anti still more unhappily comiuded, 'limed upon
us the peace of Tilsit but even of the severest
titles of that. treaty, not One has been kept' with
tis. Every tbllowing treaty increased the hard,
conditions of the preceding one. For this rea-
son we have thrown off the. -sbarneful yoke, and
advance to the heart-eneering combat for :WA'.
• liberty.
Saxons !, ye are a noble, enli,;htened people
You knave, that withbut indepetWence-,,,
good things of this life are, to noble- minds, of
•little value—that subjection is the greatest dis-
grace. You neither can nor Nillbetkr..slavcry any
longer—you will no longer permit a cunning and
deceitful system of poliey , to carry its ambitious
and depraved views into effect, to demand the
blood .of your sor,s, dry up: the spring of your
commerce, depress your industry, tieStroy the li- •
berty of your press, and turn your. tinee happy •
country, into the theatre of war. • Already' has the
Vandalism of your oppressive foreigners wanton-'
*ly and unmercifully destroyed your most, beautk
ful monnineot•of architecture, the bridge of ,Drt.tr
den, Rise ! join us---raise the standard ofiusur--
rection• against foreign oppressors, and .be 'free I
Your Sovereign is in the 'power of:foreigners, '
deprived of the freedom of determination, deploy.;
the steps_ a treacherous policy forced hint'
to hike; we wilt no more att:ibute.them to him;
than cause you to suffer for them.—We onlyt4kc
the provinces of your country under our care-for
your Lard, which fortune, the superiority of our
armS-, and the valour .of our troops, may place in
otte-volAgs. Supidy the-reasonable wants. qt. .
warriors, and in return, expect from us. the
strictest discipline. , Every application.to me; the
Prussian General, shall he open to all oppressed
persons-.-I will hear every complaint, examine
every charge, and severely punish every violation
ofdlseipline.' Every one, even the meanest, may,
with confidence, approach Me. nen' receive him
with kirtiluess.

The friend of German independence, will, by
WI, be considered as our brother :.the weak-mind,.
ed wanderer welvill lead with tenderness into the
right road : but the dishonourable despicable
tool of foreign tyranny, I will pursue with the
utmost rigour, as an. enemy to our common
country.

To TILE INIIABITANTS OF TILE CIRCLE OF COTVRUS.

Butitilan, March 43.

INHABITANTS OF THE CIRCLE OF COTTBUS !—An
unfortunate, peace tore you from] us. The neW
Lord, set over you, received you only through
compulsion as his, subjects—you belong to the
elde► son of the Prussian -Monarchyyour fotherS
bravely fought in the battles of Frederick the
Great, and their blood at that time flowed for
Prussian independence. Your fight to belong to
us again is firmly grounded by your attachnient to
the
.House of our .Monarch ;—ours to you has
never :been relinquished by -n5.,..1.0u are our
brethren by blood—you now shall agaiit live un-
der our laws.

In-the 'name of the King, atm Lord, I figniii
Call you, his subjects t The eagles under which
ye were happy and free, shall again be fastened
in your territory I Whoever has formerly borne
arms fOr Prussia, gather again round our stand-
ards—whoever is inclined to take up alms for our
independence', let him do 30, and join us. Let the
hlgher classes set the noble example to the lower.
Look at, for some time past, yoir separated bre..-
-'
limn ! observe what 1101 enthusiasm bisens its
every breast, and the sons • of the greatest and
richest, waving all privileges of b:rtit, and deny-
ing themselves all the enjoyments of life, . awl
leaving their -tenderest connections, rally round
the standards; careless in what rank they may be
placed, and contented with that of being a war,
nor for his country.'
Ytni are no less noble than your brethren from
whom you were separated by power attended by
mand of you. The otreers of the Saxon Govern--fortuue. You will do what duty and honour de.
ment, who have behaved pateroally triwards_yon,
treat with esteem, and 'continue to obey them; so
long as they do not act contrary to the sacred
cause of our independence. Follow the three-
tiont of the Royal Commissary sent:by mein
every thing he may request Of yott in ti namp of
the Lord our' King. .
