DELIVERED TO THE SENATE SEPTEMSER I, 1805.

" Amid the events which have,fo much difiurbed
the tranquillity of Europe, we have not been able to
fee with indifference the dangers with which it is
threatened. The fecurity of our umpire, its dignity,
the facrednefs of Treaties, and the wills to reftore
the Peace of Europe on a durable bats, which is
our only and unchangeable objeki, have induced us
to order a part of our troops to advance beyond the
frontiers, and to make new difpofitions for theattain-
enent of this end.
" With this view we have found it necelfary not
only to complete our troops to the full number, but
alfoconfiderably to augment our army. We there-
fore order that in the whole extent of our Empire

_
four Recruits be taken from every yoo fouls.

the Eiedor Arch-Chancellor. printed and communi-
cated to all the Members :

" The note which the underfigned, by order of his
molt Serene Sovereign, laid before the Diet on the
tth of September, has fuffic'ently (hewn with what
fentiments the Emperor of the French is animated,
what are his dear& wain:, and what the hopes
he ardently cherilbee. Auftria, however, which is
refolved on war, and Sluts evcry opening to nego-
tiation and approach, as if fearful of being brought
back to moderate and jult fentiments, has fuffered her
troops to pafs the Inn, and over-run Bavaria. She
has trodden under foot the Conftitution, violated the
peace, and annulled the rtafs of the German empire,
a retefi which fo effentiAlly interefted France, force it
was the refult of her mediation.

ways, by fecret attacks, by the flow and dark meafures
of art and craft, but openly, and with armed force ;

integrity of the Bavarian potreffions, the threw herfelf
into the arms of England, and opened the gates of
Germany to the armies of the north.
" When the Emperor of the French learned the

his troops, with this view alone, have pallid the
Rhine, in order to fecure the States of theElators of
Baden and Wurtemberg from a fimilar fate. In the
