STATE PAPER.

hOCLAMATION TO 'THE INHABITANTS OF SITE IA.

" Brave Inhabitants of Silesia,
" Among the mournful events which have taken"
place during the course of the presers war, there is
bething that has so much filled with grief the heart
his Majesty, as to see a considerable part of his.
Provinces:and faithful st-ibjet-ts oppressed by the
11eight of sufferinus9- which must be the inevitable
°3llsequence of a war, in which the Enemy, by. his
manner of makini war, unusual in our time,
entirely-exhausts
the Country through which he
es, with forced requisitions of. every kind, and
I): the. large bodies of marauders who swarm round
-LIS- .
s"' otp
ealined armies, and who, incapable of
treat the armed warrior and the unhappy
t 7 ceable
inhabitant with the same cruelty, and every
Vbere
leave behind them traces of the grossest bar-
bar;
tY, desarts; aria ashes ; even where throtigh fear
of vi°lence; the unarmed inhabitants have shewn
Ihe greatest submissiOn in the reception of those-de-
troying
" His Majesty perceives that his faithful Silesian,
rrovinces are now threatened with the same wretch,
*ti

" It sensibly grieves his Majesty that he is pre-
vented by the situation of affairs, which renders his
presence necessary
at other points, from hastening
in person •to the aid of his faithfUl Silesians, who
have at all times, and under all circumstances, re-
warded the paternal care of their Monarch, for the
welfare and Prosperityof theiriCountrv, by the most
ttnshaken attachment to the House of Prussia.'
" The Enemy boastslta , favoured by • fortune, so
Lle to change, and not less fiwooed by the

treaebery off' base traitors-=that be ilk alf-ea4anti:-.
hilated the whole force of the Prussian Monardly.

" But he knows not that his Majesty is at this
moment at the head of a formidable Army, which
burns with eagerness to engage the oppressors of the

Country.
"He knows not, or appears-not to wish to know,
that the Monarch of Prussia .finds himself sur=
fituilded by a guard, which no force, no misfortune,'
no talisman can subduethe unalterable love of his
people.

" He knows not that every day thoUsands of v 6
lunteers over themselves, with arms in their'hands,
to set bounds to his progress, and that the Silesians
display no less aEtivity and energy in defence-of their
kind and country, than to defend their-property
from unexampled rapacity.

" Tae flatters himself with the doubts be is anxious
to disseminate of the promised aid of Russia.

" But he.deceives himself in his hopes ; the most
sacred and inviolate fulfilment of all Treaties entered
into is one of the principal traits in the cbaraCter of
the noble-minded Sovereign of All the Russias.

" Already two -formidable Russian Armies have
arrived near the Banks of the Vistula, while a third,
much more numerous, is advancing by rapid marches.
" Already Legions of Patriots, voluntarily armed,
and uied to battle, are prepared to join the Armies
in the

His Majesty, under these circumstances, de-
pends on
.the attachment of his Silesian States and
Subje&s, who have at all times, both by word and
deed, given the most manifest proofs • of their un-
shaken fidelity, and he believes that by the appoint-
nient; ad interim, of one of the most distinguished
of them, his .Excellency the Prince Of ANHALT
PLESSi to be Go'vernor-General of Silesia, he gives
then] ;a. I,roof of his confidence _and good-will.
• Conducted by this Prince, who has gloriously
signalized himself in the course of the War, the
States and all classes of the inhabitants of Silesia
Rill certainly, exert themselves to contribute ail in
their power, in conjunetion with the Forces which
his Mijesty will send to their assistance, to defend.
Ithtit Conntry, and thei own Province in particular.

• " invested ,with full power by his Majesty; I
theicfore hereby call on all and each of the inhabi-
tan of the • Silesian Provinces, to bear cheerfully
the sacrifices and burdens which probably may
be necessary for the attainment of this great objee,
and the rather,' as they not only can bear no pro-
portion to the enormous sacrifices to which they
must be subjected, should the enemy succeed in his
atteinpt to, conquer Silesia ; but as in due time they
will be 'rewarded by his kije:ty, and as fin as •pog-
sible made good.

BERLIN, DEC. 20.—0 n the nth inst. peace
was signed at Posen, between his Majesty the £m-
peyor 9r the French and King of Italy, and his Ma-
yeses' the: King of Saxony,
Yesietday several reports of peace were in cir-
culation, and it was even said that the preliminaries
,weresigned. The Prince of Orange is with his.fa-
roiiy at lireyenwaide.
BERLIN, DEC. 23.—We have not yet any certain
intelligence from Poland and Silesia. In the mean
while the passage of troops continues without inter-
Juption. On the 21st a great part. of our garrison
was to have set out for the Grand Army; but at the
moment when the. troops were assembled in order
to depart, they received a counter-order, and only a
small pry set out. To-day hive arrived and con-
tinned the,ir march a considerable number of troops.
It is said that a Council of War has passed sentence
on the Conimandants of IVlagdeburgh, Stettin, and
Custrin.:;.•and it is added, that the two first have
been broke, and the latter condemned to death.—
The continual rains have so considerably swelled the
rivers,- that an inundation is feared.

According to letters from Pornefania, the corps of
the army commanded by General MORTIER, which
occupies Rostock and the neighbouring country, ad-
vanced on the 11th inst. several thousand 'lien to
Anclam. It-is said that Count HAUGWITZ has ob-
tained his resignation. ,Tne French suffer much
from bad weather and bad roads ; several pieces of
cannon are buried in the mud between Custrin and
Posen, so that it is not possible to draw them out.---;
Horses were demanded from the frontiers of Silesia
to draw the carriage of the Prince of BENEVENTO.

According to the latest news, the Ftench Army

and advanced by forced marches to the frontiers of
Russia. The Russians, who bad established their
Camp on the Vistula, left it as soon .as they saw the
conquerors of Austerlitz arrive behind the Bug and
the Narew. We have also received intelligence that
►a Prussian „Regiment, composed chiefly of Poles,
aft their Officers, come over to the French:
