of an early date in September, Rate, that the ginifon
of that city had fet out for the frontiers; that all the
armaments appeared to have redoubled their 'Cavi-

felf, as being direited againft France,

much the more &tangly furprifed his Majefty, as he
was far from forefecing them, after the million of
M. de Knobelfdorff, and the letter of his Majefty the,
King of Pruffia, of which he was the bearer.
His Majefty the Emperor and King has ordered
fame reinforcements to be Cent to his army. Pro,

Court of Berlin. But his fentimenu for his Majefty

by the means of his Envoy Extraordinary, and by

the intrigues which, in fpite of his cares, has pre-
vailed at Berlin ; but it is at the fame time a great
fubjeCt of refleltion for hie Imperial Majellsr, and
that of grief, a the alliance with Pruffia feemed
likely to permit him to diminith the number of hid
troops, and to direa all his forces againft the com-

Pruffia, without any foregoing explanation, is only
the confequence of the fief develnpetnent of a fyitent

" The Underfigned, feeling how much it is of the
fir( importance to anfwer immediately the note
which his Excellency the Prince of Beneventx, M.
ratter for Foreign Affseirs, has done him the honour
of addrefling to him this evening, feels himfelf cow.
pelted to limit himfelf to the reprefentation of the
following oblervations. The motives which have
engaged the King, my matter, to make armaments,
have been the etteet of a fehente of the enemies of
France and Pruflia ; who, jealous of the intimacy
' which exills between theft two Powers, have done
every thing in their power to alarm, by Jaffe reports,
coming at once from every quarter. But, above all,
what proves the fpirit of this meafure it, that his.
Majefty has concerted it with no perfon whatfoever,
and that the intelligence refpetting it arrived fooner
at Paris than at Vienna, St. Peteriburgh, and Lon.
don. But the King, my matter, has ordered to
be made to the Envoy of his Majefty the Empe.
ror of the French and King of Italy, an amicable
communication on ,the fohjeft of thefe meafures.

this communication. The relation of the haterefling
eonverfations that his Imperial Majefly hai deigned

DATED SEPT. 15, 1806.
" The Underfigned has laid before his Majefty
the Emperor and King, the Note that his Excellency
M. de Xnobelfdorf yetterday did him the honour to
addrefs to him.
" His Majefty has found therein, with pleafure,
the alTurance that Pruflia had not entered into any
concert hofhle to France ; that the armament use has
made, had no other caufe than a mifunderflanding ;
that the departure of the garrifon of Berlin, though
it happened three the letter written by his Majefty
the King of Pruflia, ought only to be confidered as
the execution of an anterior order; and that the
movements marked out for the PrufGan troops would
cafe as loon as it was known at Berlin what his
Majefty the Emperor and King was pleafed to fay to
M. M. Knobelfdorff and Lucchefini, in the particular
audiences which he granted, them.
" His Majefty has ordered in confequeace, that
the communications which were to have been made
to the Senate on Monday next, be deferred ;
and that no troops, betide thofe which are signally
on their march towards the Rhine, (hall be put in
motion, until his Majefty learns the determinations
and the meafures that the Court of Berlin (hall have
taken, after the report that M. De Knobelfdorff and
Lucchefini have made ; and if there determinations
arc fuch that the French army in Germany than hi no
longer menaced, and that all things mall be replaced
between France and Pruffia, on the fame footing as
they were a month ago, his Merely will immediately
order the retrograde march of the troops who are
agnally advancing to the Rhine.
" His Majefty expefts that this fawner mifunder-
Rending will be cleared up. He expelts to be en•
abled, without any mixture of uncertainty or doubt,
to reftore himfclf to thofe fentiments of which he has
given fo many proofs to the Court of Berlin, and
which have always been thofe of a faithful ally.

COPY OP THE THIRD NOTE ADDRESSED NY THE MINI.
STIR OP FOREIGN MAORI TO M. RNOSILIDORIPP.

" The Underfigned Minifter of Foreign Relations ,
has expreiTed to his Excellency M. Knobelfdorff, in
the Note which he had the honour to write to him on ,
the i 3th of September, the confiding difpufitions ,
with which his Majelly the Emperor received the af-
furances given by M. Knobelfdorff, that the military
movements of the Court of Berlin were not thelefult
of any hoftile concert agaioft France, but limply the
effect of a mifunderßanding ; and that they would
ceafe the moment when the firß communication of
his Excellency fhould have arrived et Berlin.
" Neverthelefs, the news received every day btu
co much all the character of an imminent war. that
his Imperial Majefty malt feel Come regret at the CR-
gagement he made, not yet to call out his Referve,
and to defer the Conflitutional Notification, after
which all the forces of the nation would be placed at
his difpofal. He will fulfil that engagement ; bat he
&all think it contrary prudence and to the interefts
of his people, not to rder, in the interim, all the
weenies, and all the movements of the troops, which
can take place without previous notification.
" His Majefty hat, at the fame time, charged
the Underfigned a exprefs again to M. Knobelf-
dorff, that he cannot yet explain to Hinftit, by what
forgetfulnefs of her interefts, Pruffia fhould be wil-
ling to renounce her ties of amity with France. War
between the two countries appears to him a real po-
litical monftrofity ; and from the moment that the
Cabinet of Bettie (hall return to her pacific difpo.
&ion:, and (ball ceafe to menace the armies of Ger.
many, his Wildly engages to countermand all the
meal-ores which prudence commanded him to take.
He will feixe with pleafare, as he does not ceafe to
do in all eircumitances, the oeeallon of tellifying to
his Majelly the King, of Pruffia the price he at-
taches to his frienclihrp ; to a union founded on a
wife policy. and on reciprocal interefts ; aid to
prove to him that his fentiments are always the fame,
and that no provocation has been able to alter them.
The underfigned is happy in being able to give to
his gxcelleney M. De Knobelfdorff Co formal an af-
fur:lnce of the difpofitions of his Majefty, which are
(o.foreign to all idea of war with Pruffia, that he has
already committed a very grave milisary fault, in
retarding his military preparations for one month,
and in confenting to let fifteen days more pats over,
.without calling out his Referves and his National
Gnards. .
4 I " This confidence, which his Majefty loves to pre-,
km. proves what a value he fets upon what was
fitted to him by M. Knobelfdorff, that Pruflia had
entered into no concert with the enemies of France,
and that the affurances that he had received, in put-
ting a term to the mifunderftanding which has juft
arifen. would caufe the ceffation of thofe armaments
which were the confequences of it. (Signed)

'OS. 'MIAMI. AFFAIRS.

" The Underfigned haftens to reiterate to his Ex-
cellency M. the Prince of Benevento, the affurance
that his Majefty the King of PridEa, far from ever
having had an idea of renouncing his relations of
amity with France, participates in that refpeft all the
fentiments of his Imperial and Royal Majelly, ex.
preffed in the communication to which this Note is
an anfwer ; that, far from having entered into a con-
cert with the enemies of France, his PrufEan Majef
ty has always fought to calm all refentmtnts for
cilitating the reeftablifliment of a general peace;
in fine, that far from menacing the French armies in
Germany by his armaments, thefe only took place
in confequence of the advice received at Berlin, and
which was fo alarming, that it was not poiLble to
negleft meafures of precaution, demanded by pru-
raence for the welfare of the State.
The underfigned is pleafed, in renewing to his
i Excellency the Prince of Benevento the affurance,
that in taking theft =likes his Majeny the King

of PruiEa has Igoe renowaced, for a Bogle inilant, the
afforances of teeing the clouds difperfed that hare
been railed between him and France; and General
Knobelfdorff is perfuaded, that fuch will be the st-
ink of the explanations that have taken place. In
begging M. the Prince of Benevento to make known
tolls Majeny the Emperor and King this airfarar to
ha communication, the anderkned has the honour
to renew to his Excellency the iffurances of his high
confederation. (Signed) "Gen. Knots:Anwar.

YINAR aND KING, BY TN& !UNISYS& Or %OREM*
a loos. ocroata 6, 1806.
ss Sire—When in the report that a few days back
I had the honour to addrefs your Hsieh'. I eßa-
blithed, that if rrultiahad any perfonal reafons which
led her to make war, it could only be from a deGre
to enflave Saxony, and the Hanfeatic Towns, I was
far trom perceiving, that the would ever date avow
fuch a motive. It ts, neverthelels, an avowal which
the has not feared to make, and to exprefa in a note
that M. de Knobeltdorff has fent me from Mentz,
and which I have the honour to addrefs to your
lvfajeity. Of the three demands which that mite
contain*, the firlt and the third are only made to
difguire, d it be pollible, that no real importance
may be attached to the fecond.
Proem, after having Peen with a nation eye the
French armies in Germany during a year, could not
be alarmed at their pretence when-their number' were
diminiesed—when they were difperfed in [mall bodice
in dißant cantonments--when, above all, your Mo-
iety had folemuly announced, that they fisould return
to Treace as loon as the affair of Cattaro, the caufe
of the prolongation of their Ray is Germany, fhould
be fettled by an agreement with Auftria, and that
already the order for their return was given.
s' Pruffia, who (peaks of a negotiation to fix all
the interefts in queflion, knows well that there is no
point of interelt whatever in queßion between the
two States ; the amicable difctiffion which Ihould de-
finitively fix the fate of the Abbies of Effen and Wer-
den has not been deferred by any delay of the French
Cabinet. The French troops have evacuated thofe
1 territotiee which the Grand Duke of Berg had cauktd
to be occupied. in the perfect perfuafion that nume-
rous docomenu had given him, that they made part
of the Duchy of Cleves, and that they were com-
prehended in the ceifion of that Duchy.
" Thus the demands of Pruffia, on there different,
Mints, and others of the fame nature, and the pre-
tended grievances which the Items to indicate, do
not offer the real mind of the Cabinet of Berlin. It
does not reveal it. It lets its ferret efcape only,
when it demands that no further *blies& whateverfhall
be made, on the part obi Frame,. to the formation tit
Northern Leapt, whit
.IEIII embrace, without an, excep-
tion, all the States not named in the fundamental act of
the Confederation of the Rhine.
" Thus, to fatisfy the molt unjuft ambition, Pruf-
fia confents to break the bonds that united her to
France, to call down new calamities upon the Con-
tinent, of which your Majeßy would with to cicatrixe
the wounds and to allure the tranquillity, to provoke
a fiiihral Ally, to put him under the cruel tweak,'
of Oepdling fOree by force, and once more to
fnatch his army from the repofe which he afpires to
make it enjoy, after fo many fatigues and tel
umphs.
" I fay it with gi ie., I lofe the hope of the ability-
to preferve peace, from the moment it is made to
depend upon conditions that equity and honour
equally oppofe—propofed as they are, in a tone, and
in forms that the French people endured in no time,
and from no power, and which it can lets than ever
endure under your Majefly's reign.

Oii ibe 24th of September, the Imperial Guard left
Pari for Bamberg, where it arrived on the 6th of
08 r. Orders were expedited to the army, and
Mr,' thing was in motion. On the 23d of Septem-
ber the ff.sageror quitted Paris ; the zBth, he was at
Mayekce ; the ad of Odober, at Wurtfburg, and the
6th at Bamberg. On the fame day two cerabine
(tots were fired by Pruffian Holars at a French offi-
cer of the nail. The two armies might then Warr&
ceived as in prefence of each other.
The 7th, the Emperor received a courier from
Mentz, difpatched by the Prince of Benevento. This
ootier was the bearer of two important difpatcbes.
The one was a letter from the King of Pruffia, of
about twenty pages, which was, in reality, a bad
pamphlet againft France, in the ftyle of thole that the
Englifh Cabinet gets drawn up by thofe writers to
whom they give fool. per annum. The Emperor
did not read it through, and Paid to the people who
who were about him, " I pity my brother the King
of Pruffia : he does not underfiand French : he
furely has never read this rhaplody." To this let-
ter was joined the celebrated note of M. Knobelf-
dorff. " Martha'," laid the Emperor to Martha
Berthier, " they have given us a challenge : their
rendezvous of honour is for the Bth : to Tech a ren-
dezvous no Frenchman ever failed ; but as they fay
that these is a beautiful Qum who wifhes to he s
fpedator of battles, let us courteous and march
for Saxony before we En to bed." The Emperor
was right in his obfervation ; for the Q2een of Pruf-
fia is at the army, in Amazon attire, wearing the
uniform of her regiment of dragoons, writing twenty
letters a-day to Elm up the flame on every fide. It ap-
pears as if we law Armida, in her madnefs, letting fire
to her own palace; after her, there is Prince Louis of
Pruffia, a young Prince fell of bravery and courage,
Rifled up by the party, and expeding to gain great
reputation *Mat the chances of war. After the ex-
