LEYDLN, APRII._6.

It is reported that, by virtue of a special conven-
tion between France and Prussia, all the Prussian
coasts are to be occupied by French troops, until the
conclusion of a peace with England.

of August. My secret summons of the 4th of Au-
gust, which was circulated from district to district,
has rendered immense numbers wretched, and made
my passage into the other world in the highest de-
gree painful. On the other side of the grave, I be-
hold a rigorous Judge, who takes account of our mi-

nutest transgressions.
" Over the passage which I am just entering, I be-
hold inscribed in glowing characters, 4 What have
you done ? Why did you do it ?' Those who have
fallen through my means, demand back their lives.—
Multitudes of wives, sisters, children, address me with
bitter lamentations—' give me back my husband, my
brother, my father!' I see the habitations and posses-
sions of whole families a prey to the flames, and the re-
flection—' this is your work,' pierces me to-the heart.
I advance with a down.cast countenance, into the pre-
sence of my Judge, and confess that lam guilty. I
stand before you, countrymen, as a criminal, and be-
seech you to forgive the calamities I have brought
upon you; but I more particularly entreat you to be
at all times observant of your duties, and never more
to brandish the torch of insurrection, nor again, un-
mindful of your obligations, to strive against your
own happiness. Religion, morality, and justice were
on all occasions the expressions wherewith I incited
you to resistance. Herein did I wrong ; for religion
enjoins obedience to Sovereigns under all circumstan-
ces; morality prescribes order and submission, more
peculiarly in a situation of urgency ; and justice
clearly pronounces, that he who has once been justly
put in possession of any thing, canr.ot, without in-
justice, be despoiled of it.
" It was I who acted contrary to religion, morality,
and justice; and all who co-operated with me are
bound to join with me in this confession. Yes ! coun-
trymen, it was a self-interest of the meanest descrip-
tion that tempted us to forget our duties to God, our
Sovereign, and our Country, and not to represent our
actual situation in a true light. This, and not the
welfare of all, was what we had at heart. Each
wished to make booty for himself and to despoil his
neighbour. With tears of the bitterest sorrow, I take
my last leave of you : and entreat you all, Tyrolese,
henceforth to renounce every thought of insurrection,
in the conviction, that an all-governing Providence
takes from and gives to nations rulers, adjusts the
relations of States, and has these thousands of years
governed tile world with omnipotence and wisdom.—
To me it is no longer permitted to implore forgive-
ness of our injured but good King. Eut to you it.
belongs to do so. Do it, and henceforth be the most
faithful of subjects, in like manner as our fore-
fathers were to their rulers ; for which conduct they
are highly celebrated in the past history of our country.
I go to give my account in the other world, strength-
ened by a confident hope that you will give heed to
these my exhortations. I prepare for death, which I
have justly merited.—Alas ! I am already in its arms
—forgive me, and long may you continue to shout,
, Long live King Maximilian 1"
