Aptir,ESS TO ;I TIE GERNIANS.

" Brave Germans !---The hour of deliverance
from the almmt insuppOrtable yoke of poverty,
and all sort;; of suffering, has at last arrived.
By the assktance of the Most Eigh, and the
almoqt incredible and unremitting exertions of
England, Russia, and Spain, we again begin to
breathe.
`" This is the famurable moment to remind von,
noble Germans, of your immintal Hermann !
YOu have not, as he had, to 'combat such a
Colo3sug.

" The present power beforc.you is an ima-
ginary one.
." The better part •of the French nation has
sighed these many yearsonder this barbarous op-
pression, without any opportunity of liberating
themselVes on account of their terrific system of
Goverinnent. How terribly has this Regency de-
ceived all the nations of I'airope, their own not
excepted, as well in all,their public Bulletins, as
in their treaties with foreign. Princes ! Blood, ra-
pine, and false glory, were the only aim of the
Regent: to coloUr these, he endeavoured
,to make
a part of the Continent believe,' that he hadnothing •
mote at heart than to liberate the seaS. The int-
pOssibility of ~itch an execution he foresaW, find
knew 'as well as the Meanest subjeCt-of.Enrope!
Iltit it was subservient to his plans, and produced
a moineutury rich booty.
Thus this Regent proceeded, from one cruelty
amid injustice to itnother•!
" Uow teretChed would he not, have rendered
Poland by his late instigations, were it not now
under the kind protection
.of one of the noblest
Regents, the Emperor Aleicander ! •

" I do wit venture to
.judge of the other na-
tions ; but 1 am convinced, that the hatter and
enlightened riart- of the Germans. will comprehend,
'What night have.been said on this occasion. •
