My Lord—Conformably to the anfwer nave id-
reedy had the honour to trantenit to your Excellency,
to the queßion which you ad4reffed to me. relative to
the fceurity of the troops of I% Britannic Majefly, in
the North of Germany, I batten to lay before you the
pfitive ajurances which I have the pleafure to be
Ole to communicate to you.
Your Excellency is acquainted with the prelim
Rate of affairs. You will bra perceive that. at the
point to which matters have now come, fince the
. Unfortunate battle of Außerlite, between Auftria
and France, in confcquence of the return of the'
great Ruffian army, and the total uncertainty is
which we ate with regard to the intention of Napo-
Icon towards Pruffia, the utmofi caution is abfolutely
neceffary. The brave( army cannot always reckon
upon rum& ; and it is, undoubtedly, the littera of
Proffitt, and the intereft of the world, to prevent any
attack upon her at the prefent moment, when the
would have to bear the whole burden of the war ;
and no confederacy adapted to circtutallances has
been formed ; for, in cafe her armies &mild
.prove
unfitecefsful, the lafi ray of hope, to maintain the
fecority and independence of the Continent, would'
be gado/milked.
The King fill animated by the fame with to ells-
WI; a general Peace on a permanent footing, and.
if polGUe, to the fatisfaeion of all parties. mutt
eonfequently have been ardently defiroos that his
mediation, Stipulated in the convention figned on the
sd of November, at Potfdarn, amid have been ac-
cepted by Frame*. In en interview which Count
Wit Haugwits had with Napoleon on the znth No-
vember, that Monarch manifeßed a difpofition to ac.
eept of thia mediation, on the two following condi-
tions t—
t. That during the Negociatimi no troops of his
ititannic Majetly, nor any Ruffians or Swedes &mild
advance into Holland to commence warlike opera-
tions there, after their departure from the North of
Germany. .
a. That a more extenfive circuit thould be allowed
to the fortrefs of Hameln, in order to relieve the dif-
*refs of the pram; for pi ovifions.
The King could not accept there propofitions under
the circanatiances of the moment in which they were
wade i bat thefe have totally changed, and in the
t conjtinfture his Majetly has not only judged
admilible—upon condition that the Emperor
on his fide, not to fend'any troops
CUs r N:1111r Germany, as long as the negocia.
time Sall continue. and that he (hall not undertake
metkopg wit* Hanover during the fame interval
even favourable, es time will thus be gained
to tabs more deliberate meafures, and to prepare for
every mottingency ; either in cafe a war thould break
out, or this intermediate Rate of things thould lead
to a definitive negotiation.
That no time may be log, his Mojay has fent
Major Von Pfubl to the French head quarters, that
this arrangement may be cart ied into effed. At the
Rime time, Count Haugwitz has received the ne•
ceffary infirueions, bearing date the ;nth infant, and
the King has given France to underhand, that he
thall confider the occupation of Hanover by French
troops, as an aa of hoffility.
Agreeably to what I have jug Rated, his Mojelly
has authotifed me to inform your Lordthip, that, in
conformity with the affitronces already given, in cafe
the troops of his Britannic Majell y and the Ruffians
!Maid prove unfortunate, the King engages for the
fecority of the troops of his Britannic Majefty, in
Hanover, and grants them petted liberty, in cafe of
neceffity, to retreat to the Prilffian army, and to the
Oates of the King, but with the following modifica-
tions, which circumfiances render neceffary—
r. That they take their pofitions in the rear of the
Proffian troops. and alottain, during the period of the
intermediate negociation, from every movement and
Rep of a provoking nature towards Holland.
a. That in cafe the Proffian troops (ball be at-
tacked by the French, his Majetly may rely with
Turfed confidence on the fupport and co-operation of
the troops of his Britannic Ma)jefly, as long as they
(ball continue in the north of Germany. His Majet
ty has given orders for a refpe&able corps to acl
wince into %hipbone, and will adopt every need*•
fory meafore for fecurity and defence. The Ruffian
troops, under the command of General Count Tol.
Roy. are already at the entire difpofal of his Majelly,
as the Emperor Alexander has folly sothorifed him
to difpofe of them at pleaftire ; and likewife of thofe
which are under Gen. Bennigfen, in Silelia.
I therefore requeft your Excellency to write at
fpeedily as poffible to Lord Cathcart, the Comman-
der in Chief of the troops of his Britannic Majefiy,
and to prevail upon him to take. without delay, fuch
Reps as are neceffory for tilde different purple., and
in particular to comply with the invitation which will
be tranfinitted to him by the order of the King,
through Count Kalkieuth, to confult perfonally with
him and Count Tolfloy, on the pofitions which the
troops of his Britannic Majetly, the Ruffians, and
Prutlians. will have to take, in confequence Of the
als•Nve mentioned arrangements.
As the Swedifla troops are in the fame predica-
ment with the troops of his Britannic Majetly and
the Ruffians, it would be extremely defirable to pre-
vail upon his Swedith Majeßy to conform to this ar-
rangement.
1 ht.pe that, to this end, your Lordthip will ae in.
concert with Piinee Dolgorucky, whom his Imperial
Majehly of all the Roffias has charged with every
thing relative to the deßination of the Ruffian army.
In cafe his Swedills Mojefly will reign the condo&
of hi. troops to Count Toltioy, the King is ready to
give them the fame F tiarantee which lie offers to the
troops of his Britannic Majetly, during their continu-
ance in the north of Get many.
3. With regard to the prorifinning of the forted,
of Hameln, it is conceived that the pant of a certain
difiriel, from which the garrifon might themfeltes
• procure provillons, would be attended with great in-
conveniences. both in refpedt to the fubjees of hie
Bratinnic.idajelly, and on account of the collifion,
which might thence entur between the troopk. It,

and on whefe rtquifitioa the Hanoverian Miniftry
will take care that It be delivered at the Aim a.
--
pointed fft that plitpore. But General BArbou ma ,
on his fide, engage to rennin quiet within the town
of Hameln.
Conformably to there ideas, the King has cent M.
Von Krulemark, Lieutenant Colonel of the Girt
la Caps, and Adjutant to Field MITII3II Von Mol-
lendorf, to Hanover. I have given him, for my
part, a letter to the Minikr: ot his Britannic MAOIty,
at Hanover, and another for General Barbuu, that
the neeelfary arrangements for providing, inftanta-
neonfly, to the fubfiltence of the garrifon of Hameln,
may be made, and put into execution without delay.
I bate now nothing left, my Lord, but to refer to
the verbal communication I had the honour to make
to you, and to entreat you to take in general fuch
' Reps as you (ball think expedient for carrying into
execution the whole arrangement which I have had
the honour to fubmit to you. 1 requeß yod to have
the goodnefs to inform the. Commander in )Chief of
the troops of his Britannic Majeßy, that it is only in
cafe he Sall think proper to accede to this arrange-
ment, and to adopt loch meafures as (hall depend
upon him for carrying it into execution, his Pruf Gan
bhjeßy can pofitively engage to guarantee the fecu-
rity of the troops of his Britannic Majefty. • In cafe
of an attack on the part of the French, it Will, how-
ever, be neceffary, tbst the condo& of the whole
fhould centre in one point, and it appears natural that
the °Weil in rank Ibould then affurne the chief com-
. mend. It would conferptently devolve upon General
Count Kalkrenth, both for 'the above reafon, ■nd
likewife becaufe he, being in the Vicinity of the ene-
my, would be beR able to judge what meafures to
adopt.
. I repeat to your Excellency the affluence of the
high confederation with which I have the honour to
. be, my Lord, your Excellency's, &c.
