PROCLAMATION TO THE INHABITANTS OF SILESIA .

" BRAVE INHABITANTS OF SILESIA,

"'Among the mournful events which hate taken",
place during the courfe of the .Prefent.war, there is
nothing that his fo mneb filled witil` grief the 'heart
of his tvlajetty, as to fee a confiderable pert...of his
provinces and faithful fubjefle 'opPreffed by the.
weight of fufferings which mutt be the inevitable orn-
fequences of a war, in which :the enemy, by his
manner of making war, unufeet in our time, en-
tirely exhauns the country through which he
pills, with forced requifitions of every kind ; and
by large bodies of marauderi, who-twain' round his
difciplined armies, and who, incapable of fparing,
treat the armed warrior and the unhappy ;nu-cable
inhabitant with the fame cruelty, and every where
leave behind them traces of the groffell barbarity,
defarts, and afbes, even whet‘ thi-ough fear of via-.
lence, the ,itarmed inhabitants have !hewn. 'the
s•
greaten fubmiffion in their reception of thefe deltroy• ,
ing hordes.
4' His Majefly perceives that bisifaithful Siletian
provinces are now likewife threatened with the fame
wretched fate. •
4, It fenfibly grieves his Majefq that he,is prevent-
ed by the fituatimt of affairs, which renders his pre-,
fence nee:Airy at other points,, from battening in
.
perfon to the aid of his faithful Silefians, who have
at all times, and under all cireisimnances, rewarded
the paternal care of their Monarch, for f.e welfare
and pt..fperity of their country, by the moil tinfbakers4
attachment to the Houfe of Pruffi.c."
The enemy boafis—favoured by fortune fo
"I"
to change ; and not lets favoured by the treilfhery: ,
bale traitors, that he has already sinnitsilitXtrthe,
whole force of the Pruffian Monarchy. But be knoiiiia
not that his Mi.jetly is at this moment at the Iseadof
a fottnidable army, which burns with eaproefs to
eniAge the oppreftdis of the country.
,4 He knows not, or appears not to with to know,
that the; Monarch of Pru ffia finds' hilpfelf furroundeil
by a guard which no force, no, misfortune, no calif
man can fubdue—the unalterable love of his people;
4, He knblvs not that every day thoufarrds -of vo+l
lunteers offer themfelves, with arm's' in. their hands,
to fee biunds tobis progrefs ; and that the Silefians
airplay no lef. ainivity and energy in defence of their-
Ki tg ind Cowry, anti to defend their properly from
unexampled rapacitp4. - _ .

6‘ He flatters himfelf with the doubts he is anxious
to difterninaie of the promifed Aid of Rola. Etat
be
deceives himfelf in his hopes—the molt fatted and
inviolate fdfilment of all treaties entered into, is nne
of the principal traits in the eharqter off' the noble
minded Sovereign of all the Ruflias.7

66 Already two fotmid 4blt Rafran armies have
arrived near the banks of the Viftola, while a tilled.,
much more nnmerons,is advancing by rapid marches:
''66 Already legions of patriotsf, yolusgarily anied. I
