from ambition, to be drawn into secret engage-
ments with France, which proved, on every occa-
sion, to tend systematically to minterael Austria: •
As his ambitions hopes rested principally upon
the proeas of a. fresh attack with which the•
Court ospf Vienna wag menaced by -France on every
occasion, those gradual armaments which his Ma-
jesty was compelled to make, from the preparations
made by the, Emperor NAPOLEON, became an ob-
jea of the Serene Ele&or's attention. His first de-
sign was to raise a numerous army in Bavaria, and.
: to hold it in readiness for the French Emperor,-;---
The quickness of the Austrian armament prevented'
the execution of that intention, and the Elector
chose rather to haiten to go and join the Freuclt
with all his troops, leaving his Bavarian and Sua-
bian estates to their own fite, than to disappoint
tlw expectation of the enemy of public tranquillity ;'-
cOnsequently the whole of the Bavarian Artillery
was sent to WurtzbUrgh,, the Bavarian and Suabian
Troops Were asSerubled, and the French General was
present, to prlarewerij thing agreeably to the de"
sire of the Emperor NAem.r.0..4.: His Serene High.!
ness the I.:leder' had 'also prepared tier his departure,
when Prince SCITWARZENBERG arrived at ttilunielt
on the 13th of September.
•
"The danger that the Ele&or Rdatine would join
the French was indubitable; consequently a %lions
demand for the cession of .the Troops became a just
theasbee'of self-defence: • •

" The Eleaor agreed to the demand verbally and
in writing. He wrote to the Prince, on the .7th
September, with his own hand,: € I am resol01;
confer with- the Minister My NTOOLAS urn. tlne. ewe
ditions.', The Minister chnfirmed his Sovereign's re-
solution, and proposed the conditions; that the Elee-
tor's own Regiment, and that of the Electoral
Prince, should remain at the disposal of his Serene
Highness ; and that _Munich and Nymplienbnrgh
should
.be exempted from .the, passage, of Austrian
TroepS. The agreement:Woe' to „be concluded at

Right of the eth, and withdrew al this Troops by
forced enarehes, having emptied all the public chests,
and taken with him even the deposited bonds of the
widows and ore hans' estates ; whence it became
necessary to put a stop to the tierther. drawing of an-
nuities, &c. to prevent a total stogeation of 'the
whole administration of the count y.
" When Prince SCHWAIttENBERG and General
IVletcle arrived at Haag, the EJeaor's intention of
flying from his engagement was Ito longer secret.
After they bad Waited a long While, there appeared
a Palatine Lieutenant-Colonel, showing, by his tone
and proposals, quite different from those Of Munich,
that a pretence was sought foi• 'breaking off a ntiga-.
tory Negotiation It way refined to leave the Etec-
teral Troops in Bavaria; their cession was to 'ele.

they were always to remain together as a separate
body.
" After. what had happeeed,. the Austrian Gene-
eels, could n&tconsent to leave an independent and
numerous'Corps in the rear and, think of the Au,strian
Army, which was hasteoing forward,
" The Bavariae Troeps were not to. be embodied
by men evr eompanies with the —Austrians, as has.been
falsely asserted on the Palatine part, bdt to retnain
together in Whole RegiMeets or Brigades. The en-
tre ofthe

" As to the' requisitions made for the niainte-

dispc.Osible, (ruin tlitgeneral practice of the .French
Army, as no other Power could otherwise cope with
it. ..HoweVer, since the entry ,of the'Freneh; the
vest difference between their triode of raking 'requi-
eitions anion the Austrian has been experienced.
a Neverthelessetre remove every pretence, his Ma-
jesty declared by his EieVeyi Count Buoi, that he
accepted the condi tionofleaving the Palatinate Troops
together in a separate Corps. The objection stated
in the Serene Elector's Letter of September Bth,
nartiely, that the Eleoteral Prinee was in France, Was
already removed, by , the wise precaution of the
:Prince.. Count Buoe was even.empowered to be-
finally satisfied with the dismission ,(instead of the
cession) of the Troops, by the way of furlough, or
,even:e+f.the Bavarian Troops Alone,.

triotic feelings of his brave Troops revolt, who are
now shedding their blood, not for the deliverance
of Germany, but for its Enemies, and who are corn.
