PROCLAMATION OF THE KING 07 PRUSSIA TO HIS
ARMY.
Qarters at Frfurt,Odeber 1.
" Every effort of his hfajelly, as well as thole of
his allies, to preferve peace, hak been fruitier' ;—and
unlefs by abandoning the North of Germany, and
perhaps all Europe to the tyranny of an enemy, who
knows neither check nor repots, and to give them up
as a prey to the dellroying armies, war is inevitable.
His Majefly has refolved upon war; becaufe the ho-
nour and the fafety of his hates were in danger. He
would have elleemed frimfelf happy, had he been.
able to maintain peace without fpilling blood ; the
army, the nation, the world itself knows it ; and it
is with the greatell confidence that he goes to lead hie
troops to battle, to defend the country and the na.
tional honour, for Inflice declares for us. •
" It has not efcaped his Majefi y, that the army has
long defired war ; and if from confiderations neeef-
fitated by circumhances of the moment, he has not
fooner complied with their with, he did nor the lefs
attend to it ; becaufe he is convinced that it is no-
thing but the voice of honour and of the country,
which have infpired them with fentiments which they
have always publicly manifefied. The a I ole nation
has alreadyfheurn the livelo concern it takes in this
wary and it is a :,real confolation ftir his Majetly,
that ,he events which are about to take place, have
been not only inevitable, but that they have betides
the general silent of his people.
" His Majetiy is convinced that the fpirit of ho-
nour and of glory, which the genius of Frederick im-
parted to all ?ruffians, will give to the army its na-
tural bravery, and make t better fupport the unavoi-
dable fatigues of war. But there are in this war, yet,
objets and COll fiCierattiolli more important. We
have to tfiuggle with an enemy who has around us
beat numerous armies, who has humbled the !nor'
powerful hates, deftroyed the meth rerpeelable con-
flitutions, and deprived more than one nation of its
independence and its name. Behold the fate which
was received for us ! Already numerous armies me-
naced our frontiers, and daily were reinforced. The
Pruffian Monarchy was to have difappeared, to be-
come even the booty of a hunger; and our proud
and greedy enemies already divided in imagination
the fpoils of the North of Germany. We fight,
therefore, for our independence, for our homes, for
every thing that is dear to us ; and if the °metro-
TEN r grant the vi,l .ry to our jug caufe, to our arms,
and to the courage which doubtlefs animates every
Pruhian, we (hall be the faviours of millions of op-
preffid people.
" There is certainly no individual in the army,
from the Field Marfhal down to the private foldier,
who can retain his coolnel, in latch citcumflances.
Every foldier who falls in this COD MR dies for the
' holy cattle of humanity, and all thole who furvive
him acquire, along with immortal glory, their (hare
in the gratitude, the happir els, and the joyful tear.
of the nations laved front general calamity. Which
of its could lupport the idea of feting our country
delivered up :n the rapacity of a granger 3 But let
us confider hill, that i:. fighting for ourfelves, and
! repelling the molt thameful degradation that could
alfail a nation, we are at the fame time the faviours
and deliverers of Germany. The eyes of all nations
are fixed upon us as upon the left flay of their liberty.
of the exittence and of the good order of Europe.
The viftory which is the objet of our vows, is not
an ordinary vide,' y. The end that we propole to
ourfelves is great, but the means of an enemy, in-
toxicated with his viaories, is great alto. Our efforts
I mutt •hen be tirenuous and decifive.

His Islajely will wi,h joy partake of the dangers
and fatigues which kis troops have to undergo.
He knows all that he may expea from his valiant
ildiers. lle knows that .heir zeal is unextinguilh-
able, their vigilance indefatigable, their intrepid firm
ncfs, and their unchangeable conflancy cannot one
inliant defe.t them, and they will no forget, in any
chance, the elevated dellinies which will put the (cal
upon their glory. The late of nations and of armies,
is, it is true, in the hands of the„Erzawat.; but He
almoft always grants the victory to :he jull cafe.—
That we defend. The confidence which it gives is
within us ; our contemporaries applaud our zeal,
and the moll fortunate fucceires will crown our un-
dertaking."

BERLIN, NOV. r.

The French military, occupying the greateft and
the finch part of the fla:e. of the King of Pru Ma. is
paid regularly, and always in the coin of the con•
(pitted country. By this me.tns, a war abfolutely
miraculous in its refolts, is continued without draw.
ing any kind of m .riey out of France ; and as the
magAzints taken from the Prrillians are immccfr, and
cr•ntribure fur the fupply of the army, it may be al.
that the war is carried on in every refpal

the foie expenee of thole who have drawn it upon
them.

There is to-day in circulation at Berlin, a piece of
news of the greatett confequence, brit refpelling
which there has been yet no pofitive information ob.-
tained. It is Paid that the French army, now matter
of PoCen, has penetrated twenty lep;sues on the other
fide of the Netze, and met a thong Ruffian column.
which retired on the approach of the French, and
in its retrograde movement would have dragged with
it the whole of the Rumen army, of which the
tlrength is far from correfponding to the communi-
cation made in the Newfpapers a the North. This
intelligence---akhowgb it florid not ‘e eoniferbed—ferves
at lead to stew that the general opinion is, that the
ltollians, who were coming but as auxiliaries, will
trot provoke alone the bazar ds of war !
