PRUJSMN AfAN.FESTO.

(CINCLUDID FROM TNN STAR OF TISTINDYY.)

The exiaing nate of the Aullrian Monarchy, and
of the Porte, had been mutually guaranteed. The
Emperor Napoleon certainly wished that PruiCa
ibould be bound by this guarantee, for in his Land►
it was an innt ument which he might employ *Obit.
ed his politics, a pretext fur demanding &minces, in
a contra which his ambition might occation. He
Limfelf, however, did not nbferve it longer than it
contributed to his interen. Ragas, though under
the protation of the P"rte, was taken poffeffion of
by his troops. GrAdifca and Aquileia were welted
from Auttria, under nearly the fame pretexts which
had been crapidifed when the French feized the duce
Abbeys.

In all political proceedings, it was naturally
taken for granted. that the new States formed by
France were States in the proper fenfe of the term.
and not French Provinces ; but it coil the Cabinet of
4 Cloud only a word to deprive them of their rods.

was Invented, and that empire was imtnediatcly only
furrounded with

Thus there was no trace of the Treaty left. yet
Praia proceeded to (hut her ports agaltill Eng.
land. and hill confidetad betfelf at having obliga•
Lion► to fulfil.

The Emperor at length informed his hfajefly, that
it waN his pleaftne to did-dye the German Empire,
and form a Conceder:,lion of the Rhine, and he re-
commended to the King to eaablifh a fimilar Conte•
deration in the North of Germany. This was se.
cording to his ctiflornary policy, a policy which had
long :wen crowned with fuccefs : at the moment of
the birth of any new projeft, to throw out a lore to
thofe Courts which might occofion difficulties in the
mention of fuch projed. The King adopted the
idea of fuels a Confederation, not that the advice he
received made the leatt imprellion on him, but be-
caulk, in rift, it was rendered neceffa►y by circuit:-
Antes, and !mature, after the reaffirm of the Princes
who had acceded to the Confederation of the Rhine,
a dole union between thofe of the North became
more than ever the condition of their fafety. The
King took matures to eflablifh this lessens, hot on
other principles from theirs of the model prerated
to hint. He made it his pride to c Meet the la!' of
the German under hie banner t tuft the rights of
each he left onimpairedt and honour alone was
bond of the leatne.

But could France adrift the King to any ?mature
which fhonld be proditetive of advantage to Nato ?

lc re uuur

In the firli plate,eare had been taken to ;furnace '
into the fundamental Ratute of the Confederation of
the Rhine an article which contained the germ of all
future innovations. *lt provided, that other Princes
..fhould be received into this Confederation, fhould
they dente it: In this manner, all relations in Ger-
many were left indeterminate, and as the means were
Rill referred to detach and annex to this league the
weaker Elates, either by promifes nr threats, it was
but too probable, that in time this Confederation
would be extended Into the heart of the Pruffian
Monarchy.
And that this might no longer remain doubtful,
but be manila to every one. the &II attempt was
immediately made. Fortunately it was made on a
Prince who knows not fear, and who confiders inde-
pendence as the higheft nhjth of his ambition. The
French Minilter at Caffel invited the EleCtor to throw
himfelf into the alms of his Maker. Prullia, it was
alledged, did nothing for her allies I It is true Na-
poleon knows how to manage his better, and every
one fees that Spain and Holland, the Kings of Witt-
temberg and Bavaria, have to thank their alliance
with him for peace, independence, and honour.—
Pruflia did nothing for her allies. Napoleon, on the
contrary, would reward the acceffion of the Elefftori
by an enlargement of his territory.
And this was exercifed towards an ally, and at the
very moment when the King was advifed to form an
alliance, of which Hcfl was to be the &ft bulwark;
endeavours were made to detach from him a Prince
whom family conneEtions, alliances, and relations of
every kind united in the clot& manner in his Majef:
ty's perfon.
But even there holt& Reps were not fufficient.—
Dnes any one with to krinw what was the line by
which it was hoped to gain the Elettor of Heffe,
and what was the augmentation of territory with
the expetlation of which he was flattered ? It was
the Prince of Orange, the brother-in law of the King,
that Prince who had been twice deceived in a moA
flumelets manner, who was now to be robbed the
third time. He Rill poffetTed the territory of Fulda.
This was promifed to the Elector, and it would have
been given, had the Elaine contented to accept it,
and had not Pruflla taken up arms.
His Majeßy law the fyflem of ufurpation advance

narrower, drawer round him, and everaltherhilat of
moving within it begiping to be difpittpitv#6. him,
for a fsveeping reiblution forbade a pairliie to any
foreign troops, armed or not arnaidA Airough the
States of the Confederation. iris to cot off,
contrary to the rights of nations, the conflation be-
tween the detached Hefllan provinces. This was to
prepare a pretext on which to att. This was the fiat
threat of punithment aimed at a magnanimous
Prince who had preferred a defender to a mailer.
But even after this—his Majefty cannot retie& nn
it without admiration—the King confidered whether
a combination might not be found which Mould len-
der this Rate of things compatible with the mainte-
nance of peace.
The Emperor Napoleon appeared to be folicitous
to remove this doubt. Two negotiations were then
c trying on at Paris, one with Ruffin, the other with
the Englith Minifiry. In both there negotiations the
intentions of France againa PruCla were evidently
manifelled.
By the treaty which the Emperor of RufGa hat
refuted to ratify, France offered, in eenjunEtion with
Rums, to prevent Pruma from depriving the King
of Sweden of his German territories. Yet for many
months the Cabinet of Sr. Cloud had continually
preffed the King to feize thole States, with the three-
fold view—firft, to revenge himfelf on the King of
Sweden ; fecondly, to embroil Prullia with all other
powers ; and thirdly, to purchafe her Menet with
retpti to the fubverfion of Southern Germany.—
But the King had long been aware that loch were
the views of Fiance, and his unfortunate diipute with
Sweden was painful to him. He had therefore been
careful to provide againft every fufpicinn of felt in-1
wetted motives, and he conided his explanations to
the Emperor Alexander: The fcene now again
changed, and Napoleon, who had to long been the
enemy of the King of Sweden, was fuddenly trent-
formed into his protean.
It is not fuperfluous to remark that,ia this infidious
treaty of the French Emperor, in order to fatisfy the
honourable intei elt which the Court of St. Peed-
burgh took in the maintenance of the rights of the
King of Naples, he promifed the latter an indemnifi-
cation, engaging to prevail on the King of Spain to
cede to him the Balearic Wands. He will ail in the
fame manner with refped to the angmentadonsof ter-
ritory he pretends to bellow on his allies.
Thefe were all preludes to the Reps he took againft
Pruffls—we now approach the moment which deter-
mined his Malay.
Pruffia had hitherto derived nothing from her
treaties with France, but humiliation and lots—one
tingle advantage remained. The fare of Hanover
was in her power, and in her power it mutt remain,
°niers the la pledge of the tenuity of the North were
annihilated. Napoleon had folemnly guaranteed this
Rate of things. yet he negotiated with England on
the befit of the reftoratirm of the Eletftorate. The
King is in pnffeflion of the proofs.
War was now in faa declared by every meafure
taken by France. Every month produced a new no-
tification of the return of his army ; bet OS OM fii•

volous pretext or another, it was fill continued in
Germany, and for what purports f Gracious H&*.
ViN ! to eradicate the kit trace of Sovereignty
among the Germans, to treat Kings as Governors
,appointed by himfelf ; to drag before Maher,' Tri-
bunals, Citizens only refponfible to their own Go.
ternments ; to declare others outlaws who lived
peaceably in Foreign States ander Foreign Sovereigns
and ev,n in the capital of a German Emperor, be.
caufe they had publiOtid writings in which the French
Government, or at lest its delpetifm, wax attacked,
and this at a time when that fame GJvertment daily
permitted hired libellers to attack, under its protec.
lion, the honour of all Crowned Heads, and the molt
facred feelings of nations. There armies were in no
manlier dirninifhed, but continually reinforced and
*Oriented, and continually ad►anced nearer to the
frontiers of PrufGa or her Allies, till they at length
took a pofition, which co* only menace Pruifia.
' and were even affembled in force in Weftphalia,
which certainly was not the road to the mouths of
the Cattaro.

It was no longer doubtful that Napoleon had de-
termined to overwhelm Pruffia with war, or to render
her for ever incapable of war. fince he was leading
het from humiliation to humiliation, till the fhonld
be reduced to fuch a Rate of political degradation
and feeblenefs, that, deprived of every defence, the
could have no other will than that of her formidable
neighbour.
The King delayed no longer. He 7.ffembled his
army. General Knobelfdorff was fent to Paris with
the final declarations of his Majetly. Only one
meafure remained which could give fatuity to the
King, which was the return of the French troops over
the Rhine. The time for difenifion was pall, though
the Cabinet of St. Cloud appeared Rill defirous to
protraa it. General Knoblefdorff had orders to infill
on this demand. It was not the whole of the King's
kill demands, but it was neeeffary that it Mould be
the firil, Race it was the condition•of his future calf•
tence. The acceptance or reinfal of it mull thew the
real fentiasents of-the French Emperor.
Unmeaning profeffions, arguments, the real value
of which were known, by long experience, were the
only an(wer the King received. Far from the French
army being recalled, k was announced that it would
be reinfoeced—but with a haoghtinefs Rill more re-

.....
Tarkable than this tefufal, an offer was made that
(he troops which had advancedinto Virellphaliafkonld
return home, if Proffitt would della from her prep*.
radon.. This was not all. It was infolently notified
to the King's Minifters that the chin of Hambnre,
Bremen, and Lubec, would not be fulfered to join the
Northern Confederation, but that France would take
diem under her prbtedion in the Came manner as in
he other Confederation the had given away cities and
promulgated laws, without permitting any other
power to make the leaft pretenfion. The King was
ntquired to (offer a foreign intereft to be introduced
limo the heart of his Monarchy. Another contrail of.
condu4t imaged the King to the utmofl. He re•
calved from the Emperor a letter full of thefe RINI.-
imeei of efteem which, certainly when they do not
accord with faits, are to be confidered as nothing, but
which the dignity of Sovereigns renders a duty to them-
'hives even when on the eve of war. Yet a few day*
afterwards, at a moment when the fword was nut yet
drawn, when the Miniller of the Emperor endea-
voured to raiflead thole of the King by affurancee on
affuranees, of the friendly intentions of France. the
Pelditye of the 16th of September appeared with
a diatribe againft the King and the Prugian nate, in
a flyle worthy of the moft difgraceful periods of the
revolution: infulting to the nation, and what in other
times than ours would have been confidered as amours.
ting to a declaration of war. The King can treat
ganders that are merely abufive with contempt, but
when thefe ganders contribute to explain the real (fate
of things, it would be unwire to treat them merely
with contempt.

The left doubt had now difappeared ; troops
marched from the interior of France towards the
Rhine. The intent to attack nutria was clear and
certain. The King ordered a Note to be tranfmitted
by General KnoblzfdortF, containing the conditions
on which be was ready to come to an accommoda-
tion. l'hefe conditions were--

That the French troops will Immediately evacuate Ger.
many.

2. That Franee wroth! oppore. no obßacle to the formation of
the Northern Confederacy ; and that the Confederacy might em-
brace in the larger and (molly State., not Included in the funda-
mental Adt of the Confederation of the Rhine.

3. That a negotiation Mould Immediately be commenced, for
the adJuftment of all differences Rill in difpute; a preliminary
ankle of which mould be the relloration of the Three Abbeys,
and the reparation of the town of Weal from the French Empire.

There conditinns fpeak for themfelves—they thew
how moderate the King, even at this moment, has
bun in his demands, and how ranch the maintenance
of peace, if France willies peace, depends upon France
herfalL

Th.' Ina peremptorily fired by the King for the
&Minn of pesos at war has elapfed. His MAjelly
has not received the anfwer of the Cabinet of St
Cloud, or rather die preparations he fees around him
daily give him that anfwer. 'The King can hence-

Ivory paragraph;'-
sccontains either a fad that is
undeniable, or a " idottion that cannot be contro-
verted ; both the hiftory and the reafoning are unan-
fwerable. We (halt have tome curiofity to fee how
the literary Cabinet of BONAPARTI will combat this
damning ezpofition of fads—how it will ceunterad
the areas of this animated appeal to whatever there
is of dignity, independence, (cote of prefent con-
dition, or remembrance of former glory, exilling
among the different States which compote the cen-
tre of Europe. Whatever be the iffue of the prefent
contelt, his PrufGan Majetly has at IA performed
his duty. He has ditcharged all the arrears of his
contribution to that great family of Europe, of which
he is i Member, He has pointed out as well the dam-
gers';oerien cb ambition, as of French connedion.—
taker!e moral and phylical force of the PruiGan
libliniaisihy has been routed and difciplined, and
brougbi Into &Rion againft that power, whofe exit-
tenet, in its recent vat and overfhadowing (late, is
incompatible with the fecusity and independence of
the reit of Europe.

The Pruffians never can again be ranked among
the friends and allies of France. They may he over.
come, but they cannot be conciliated. ?hey may
fubmit,but they never more can will or be trufled.
Nays ON BONAPARTE ever deceive any one ? Indeed,
to loch a length bas he carried his duplicity, that lure

but force is left to him.

This publication teems to prove that the Pita:an

advantages flipulated by the Court of lierlin would
have been put in the balance agaioll thole inward

According to the Mailer's account, the molt extra-
vagant reports continue to be circulated in Holland,
refpeding the fucceifes of the Pruffians againit the
French ; but for which, we fear, there is no other
foundation than the !tithes of the people. On the'
Iday he failed, he was told by a refpedable Merchant,
that a paper of that day contained an account of a
general engagement between the Prualans and
Finch, in which the latter were defeated, with the
Ids of 4b,ocic men killed and wounded. We let
little grounds for crediting this report. IF an adiori
fo important in its refult had taken place, the intelli-
gence would have tranfpired at Hamburgh as loon
as in Holland ; and papers of the 17th intlant have
been received from the former place, which make
'no mention of fuch engagement.
The Mailer of this neutral veal confirms the re-
ports which had previoully reached us, refpeting the
rigour of the imprefs fervice in Holland. All per-

the inhabitants of which difinely heard the engage-
ment; every one confidering the attack by the Eng-

' Two clans, or faftions, as they are called, living in
the pain Sallivourney, in this county, having difa
:greed upon fame lubjeft or other, determined upon
deciding the mifunderflanding by, a battle, in which
;each party was to bring whatever ftrength they could
,collea into the field. The day of the engagement
was appointed to be loft Sunday fennight, and their
determination was not a matter of fecrect in the neigh-
bourhood. On that day they met; and in the pre.
paration for action feveral !land of arms were added
to piftols, (words, fcythes, flicks, &c. It commenced
at break of day, and continued, without the par ties
doling, until the principal part upon caul' fide were
wounded and difabled. Though one party hod the
fnperiority in number, they were yet greater fetters
than their adverfartes, for the other, as it is Elated to
us, procured as an auxiliary, a foldier, who was a de-
fetter, whole fervices they purchafed for two guineas;
and this man, by refting his piece upon a bank, un
ertingly brought down the man he aimed at, and he
was generally pointed out to him, for his ftrength or
refolution. In this brutal paid, twenty people were
wounded 1 two of whom were yefterday defpaired
off and the tenacity with which each party main•
tamed their ground in contempt of deli; Otion, was
extraordinary. Our nate/nem is from good autho-
rity ; and it is not as minute in the recital of this in-
famous affray as it has been (fated to us. The Fairs
