" VIENNA, APRIL (3.--The protealon of our
Country calls us to nev► exploit. As long as it
was possible to preserve Peace by means of sacri-
tices, and as long as these sacrifices were consistent
with the honour of the Throne, With the security of
the State, and with the werare of •the people, the
heart of our bountiful Soverdfn. suppressed every
painful feeling in silence; but when all endeavours
to preserve happy independence from the insatiable
ambition ofa foreign Conqueror prove fruitless, when
'nations are • falling around us, and when- lawful
Sovereigns are. tarn from the hearts of their suhje6ts,
when in the danger of universal subjugation
threatens even the happy States of Austria, rnd their.
peaceable fortunate inhabitants; then
,does our
Country demand its deliverance from us, and we
stand forth in its defence.

" On you, my , dear
,Brother Soldie.rs, are fixed
the eyes of the Universe, and of all those:who still
feel for national honors and .national prospe-
rity. You. shall nut share the- disgrace of ber
coming the Tools of Oppression. You shall not
carry on the endless wars af atnbition under
distant climes. Your blood shall never flow for
foreign fleets and foreign covetousness not on you
shall the cttrse alight to annihilate innocent nations;.
and over the bodies of the Slaughtered defenders
of their country to pave the way for:a 'foreigner
to the ustirped throne. A 'happier lot awaits you
the liberty of Europe has taken refuge undercut
banners. Your vidtorics wall loose its fetters, aioa
your brothers in Germany, yet in the ranks of the
enemy, lung for their deliverance. You are engaged
in a just cause, otherwise I should not appear at youf
head. • t,,i •

the Enemy So 'often remind us with ostentatious
Pride,. on' Ahetle Melds will we renew the glorious
deeds of Wurtsborgh and ()wadi of Liptingen
(Stockachy, and Zurich, of Vetonai of the Trcbbia
and Novi, We Conquer 4lasting: Peace for onr
Country; but the jreat aim is not to be attained
without great virtues. Unconditional-subordination,
atrial discipline, persevering courage, and unshaken
steadiness in danger, are the companions of true for-
titude. Only a union of will, and a joinrco-opera.;
Lion of the whole, lead to viaory.

with extensive powers, to reward and to punish. ....
I Will be every where in the middle of you, and

triotism of many of • the 'Austrian Nobility has an-
ticipated your wants this is a pledge in the fullest
measure, of the public, gratitude : but punishment

per4on► or rang' branded with disgrace shall. the
worthless perinn. be cast out to Whorl] life ;s dearer
than: hls andjour, honour. Adorned with the marks of

c4ttieni,- will I prelent to out' Etoviteim to

wtnld, fliesebrave area, Who have deserved wen
of their Country, atld whowr,tanuat 1 will ever carry
'itt my heart. •

There remains One consideration, winch I trm,t

strangers to him : out of the field of Uattle; towards
the unarmed, citizens tud peasants,

'compassionate,. and humane : e knows the evils of
war, and strifes to lighten. them: I will punish every
wanton excess with so much .greatcr security as

it is not the intention of our Monarch to oppress
neighbouring countries; but to deliver them front
their oppressUrs, and in form with. their Princes
a powerful ,bond in order to bring about a last-
