PRUSSIAN M.lAlFASTO—Conliented.

[From the words " make his own fecorlty and that of his neigh-
bours his firft objet']
The French Emperor propofi.d to Count Haupt its a Treaty in
which was ftipulated on the at fide a mutual guarantee of potter-
Eons, the Inviolability of the TurkUb territory, and the refults
of the treaty of Preiburgh; and on the atter, the taking poffelfuni
of Himont' by Pendia, in return for thc ocllon of three pew
vines
The Erft part of this treaty promlfed et haft for the future
an acknowledged, guaranteed, and, if Napoleon had Os pleated, a
firm political conftkotion. The refults of the peacelef Prate%
were a general misfortune for Europe, but Petals faerideed Witt-
felt alone when the accepted of fedi terms; but to place a limit
to the inceitant ufurpations of France, ihould the treaty be mol-
dered by the Court of St.Cfnutl,aeany thing more than vrords,ap-
peered an advantage : the King therefore ratified tbit ankle en
conditionally.
The feeond half of the Treaty of Vicuna, relative to an ob •
Jed, the Importance of which had been Inaidlefted by furious
experience, ProfLa could not rely on fecurfty foe a moment, fo
long as Hanover remained involved in a war, In which that
country ha i, In fadt, no concern. At whatever price it might
be purchafed, Pruils was forayed that the French &mild not
return thither. She had her choice to obtain this end either by a
treaty or a war.

The ceffum of three provinces, which had been faithful sad
happy for a long feria of years, was a facrifice not to be mule
for any plan of vain ambition; but thefe provinces, in cafe of
war, would have been the brit (offerers. All the calamities of
that war would have fallen on the Monarchy, while the acquit!.
Lion of Hanover, could it have been made under kfs unhappy
eircumitances, would have been produdtive of the mat vaior
abie advantages to Praha. The King, therefore, conceived thee
be reconciled his vales with his gdinelples, when be accepted,
the prepared exchange, only under the condition, the fulfil•
meet of the fame humid be deferred till a general peace, and that
the cadent of his Majefty the King of Great Britain mould be
obtained.

Alt the **vintages of this treaty were for France. On one fide
Ike received guarantees which put the fell on ►er conqueits—win
the other, the gave what Ow did not poffefa, what :night be again
conquered by the chances of an uncertain war, while in the ref.
bons of Priam Ike found the means of enriching her allies.

But between a policy which will do every thing in its power,
and an integrity which regards its duties, and cfpecially its promifes
the coma is ever unequal—The King approached the moment
when be was convinced of this by experience. This moment
was the molt painful of his reign .

It was the affair of Prance to rejedt the modilleatieni under
which the Kirg bad confirmed the treaty, if the did not approve
them ; but the molded doing this, for the whole PrufGan army
was Rill under area ; the continued to ha bolds oradtaranees of
friewithip; the fulfilled the treaty as far as it tufted her; but when
his Idalaily wifhed to reap the only advantage white he had Rd&
poled to himfelf from the late negociations, and which lay nearA
to his heart, the fikidenly altered ber language. The modificationa.
added to the Treaty of Vienna were now releeted at Para;
en-
deavours were made to force Prutaa Into the matt Injurious mm.
lures, and when Count timagwits, who was at Pori% lawasara•

ted againit this, the unconditional fulfilment of the treaty me
haughtily lauded on, as were the immediate refkon of the *tee
provinces, and the reeal of the patent by which the oentypationyk4

a part of the advantages ftlendated, and to Out the pcorts
the Bridal flag, in the fame manner as if the French had namist'
into the Eledtorate.

The King at length was pertedlly convinced oldie true charac-
ter of the frieodihip of the Emperor of the French, who tries to
adosiniftar a foporific draught to every Power which Rill fedi ks
own ftrength; but didtetei an inftrement of degradation, end
of fubjugation, to every Polskr which no longer poffelfts ftrergels.

isoisfy ; which proceeds without intermielon from uferpatioo to

tion, carders of the choice of means, and employing alike arias sod
the pen, violence and oath.. But even with this convidtfon—fo

great is the unfortunate fuperiority obtained by fuch policy, over
thole who with only to be jult--the King fulfilled all the con-
ditions of the treaty,wilt the punctuality of a faithful ally. It is
known what the eanfequences wore with refpedi to the connec-
tions of his Majefty with England. France gained nothing by
this, but the triumphed in keret at the thou.,ht of having difunlted
two Courts, the union of which might have been dangerous `to
her ; and what In the view of France gave the principal value to
her alliance with the King ww, that ebb alliance lfolated his Ma.

But not content with Uri; we (hall roan fee in what manner the

pifing forms whkh the had hitherto Coenaiines refpeeted, openly
trampled on all treaties and all rights.
Three montbt after the fignlng of the malty with "VII I& an lta
articles were violated.

The treaty had for its hafts theifarw Iwo of the moment In wbkh
it was concluded ; alto the guarantee of the Getman Empire and
its Rates, according to the conftitation then eftablilltcd. This truth
arifes not only from the nature of things; the treaty had ego ex.
petrify preferibed to the two powers their duties. The Madams In
which the peace of Prefburg bad left his Majelly the Emperor of
Auftria, were guaranteed to hint, confequently silo the Imperial
Crown of Germany, and the rights conflated with it. Thai ex.
Menu of Bavaria, and confcquently the relations which had con-
fleeted It for fo many centuries to the Empire, were likewite eon.
firmed by the fame common guarantee. Three months after, the
Confederation of the Rhine overthrew the Germanic Conititudon,
deprived the gmpctur of the ancient ornament of his Heufe, acd
placed Bavaria and thirty other Princes under the tatelage of
Prance.

burthenfome to his faithful and affectionate people.
But he is confident that there can arife on this occa-
fion no other fentiment, either in his own dominions,

conviction, that the relloration of general tranquillity
is retarded only by the injullice and ambition of the

by this advantage, of which it boated as equal in

sociatinn with Great Britain, but violated, in
Points Sill more important, every principle of good

The foregoing fhort and (link expofition of fags
Rands in need of no comments The hill overtures
which led to negociatios were made by the enemy,
and they were accepted by his MAPSTY in the lin-
eerell fpirit of peace. Every opening which teemed
to afford the Mott dill ant profpea of accommodation
has been- anxionfly embraced, nor was the negocia-
tirs boaUy broken off while any hope of a favourable
Mae could be entertained. His &We're's demands

It is with heartfelt concern that his MAJESTY can-

In contributing to the great efforts which filch a
contca mua unavoidably require, his Litbful and
sfrationate Cubjeas will not forget that all their
&area interetts are at Mike ; that no facri&ces they
can be called upon to make, are to be compared
with the certain difgrace and ruin of yielding to the
injurious pretenfions of the enemy ; that with the
inviolable maintenance of the good faith and public

honour of their country its profperity, its Arendt,
and its iodependenee, are effenrially ennneeted ; and
that, in•atierring the rights, and upholding the dig-
nity. of the Britifh Empire, they defend site moo
pdwerful bulwark of the liberties of mankind.

The King of Paussla, we underhand, has written
a private letter to our Sovereign, which is Fraught
with that fpirit and energy which difelofe themfelves
in every part of his Public Manifelto. The former
has at length taken his proper ground. He has coml.
witted himfelf, and every one of the Powers retain-
ing their independence in Europe, will haften to lend
their alfiftance, now that he (lands firmly oppefed to
the enemy of the human race.
