" SECRET INSTRUCTIONS," &C.,

" Thi; change of dynasty is not so difficult is
irnagned, as the grand or leading Sovereigns of the
Continent are imbecties, and extremely corrupt.

" 'When you are at, Berlin you will sout-i:: (tater
le terrein) on this subject, Count H . The
'idea of a change Of -dynasty will stag.g-er him : he will
naturally ask you who to look up to as a successor
to the House of Brandenbourg ? Tell him; that the
First Consul/ has fixed upon the Polish Prince
R--(1)- You must endeavour to attach your-
self to this personage. You were at college with
him at ,'and it will, therefore, be easy- for
you to get access to him ; however, do- not, in
the first ins..anee, talk on politics with. him ; and I
think you should be intro.'nced to. him by Mr. or!
Madame De B—(2). Mr. De 137---, you will per-
ceive, is a man of very inferior judgment, but-Ma-
dame is adroit : she expresses herself well ; .but her
over zeal makes. her very ()Pert forget herself, It'
would be well if you could meet Prince in
. a Tizoison tierce (at a third person's) so as to induce
him to invite you frequently to his table. , This
person is a very ardent Polish Patriot, and was-very
active in the Revolution of his 'country. in 1794.' You,
of course must have seen him there' at that time.
Be sure you, at every opportunity, make him feel
for the degraded state of Poland. Hewitt; of course,
hear of the propositions which have been made to
the Pretender to abdicate, and the .offer of giving
him Poland.. Should the Pretender accept the-offer,
of course no change of dynasty will be agitated for
the present, as most of the Powers of Europe will
have a great interest, and derive advantages in sup-
porting, the new partition of Europe.—But should
the Offer made to the Pretender be rejected, the
change of dynasty must be strongly urged; for
should not that take place, the war on the Conti-
pent will be re-kindlect,,aed in which England most
likely will join. Therefore point out to. 'Prince
R-- the advantages which would arise if Po-
land were created into a separate kirigdOm, govern-
ed by his brother, whilst he might be King-of Prus-•
sia. These last observations must be used with
great caution, and more en badin aizt than aary thing
else: see whit effect it is likely to have.—And
shoUld Prince R. be at all inclined to' relish (gouter)
such sentiments,.tell 1146 that the s'me will be Hed
in Ausitia. Prince ******"** will, no doubt,
be hut tor; happy in expelling the House of Haps-'.
burg, which is' become odious ip the eyes of the
people of Germany, especially since the last nego-
ciation for indemnities at Ratisbon. You must by
alt means circulate, as, noch as possible, the story'
of a secret correspondence and confidential corn-
municationS between the Austrian Minister at Paris,
Count Philip Cobentzel, and Talleyrand,' in which
the for Mer proposed the exputsion.of all the petty
Princes of -Germany. This conduct of Austria has
excited all the petty princes against, her, as Mr. De
la Fogel, onr Minister at Ratishon, took good care
to make it khown, The Court of Munich is, there-
fore, an eternal enemy to the present reigning So-
vereign of Auat!ia,, and would gise a cordial sup-
port to the new order of things. However you
most give Prince R. to understand, as well as those
persons whom you will have occasion to. see ar
Vienna, that the First Consul would not feel, the
smallest objection in joining Bavaria to 'Austria,
under the new dynasty, and establishing a brother
of the First Consul on a throne in Germany, which
should embrace Wirtemberg, Baden, Manheirn,
Dusseldorff, and fiesse. This would be subject for
ulterior discussion.
" You must also make it known- that the First
Consul intends to get himself elected Etnperor of
the French, or of the Gauls, and to make one of his
brothers (I le en) King of Italy-. This will be-
come very necessary for ' the very existence of the
power of the First Consul, should the Pretender re-
fuse to accede to the propositions; and if he should
accede, it will become equally necessary for the
First Consul, to establish an hereditary Government
in France.
" You must
,be very circumspect and discrete at
Berlin, equally iu the family of Prince as l'tiitce
Louis (a),, the brother-in-law of R—, has' a great
ascendancy in thaeiamily. He is a great anti-Fran-
cais. Count Schulembonrg is also extremely ariti-
• French, and the principal hotel at Berlin is kept by
his Agent of Secret Police, therefore you must not
lodge there;.
•• ." ,Endeavour to get introduced to the 'Queen's
private parties, to which,- as a man of .raters, you"
may easily do. This woman was formerly a great
admirer of the First Consul, but within these two
years she has expressed herself in very harsh terms
against him. • The cause of this change is not easily
accounted for, unless it is, that-a lady about her per-
son is in love with an English --; hoWever,
that can only be a remote cause, You must consult
Count Hs--- on every occasion : tell hirn that
' . he has not a greater friend than rite First Consul,
, who-has acceded to his demand (4).
.You may send
him an order for payment on your banker, for ten
thm.sand ducats: in the order must be specified,—
' pay to bearer I' as you cannot send him. the money
yourself, but inclose the 'order in a blank -shet.. of
paper. This bein6i.a
,large sum to- draw at one
time out of the banker's hands, you may say it is to
make a purchase" of Silesian.linens for a mercantile
house in France. However, if Count
wishes you to receive the cash, and pay it to him iu
specie, comply with his request ; but the best way
would be; by getting a bill of exchange upon Ham-
burgh or Petersburgh, payable to the order of a man
of straw', as that Wotild create less suspicion. This
is mentioned only for the sake of -precaution, an
applied to Count H--- more direaly than any,
one else. • Tell him, in six weeks another 10,000
ducats will be transmitted to him, and the First Con-
sul will always, be • liappy to serve him. - It is neces-
sary, however, to inform you that this Count. H—
