:. When his imperial majefy proceed
ed to the opening Of the depusatlon OF the
empire, he hoped, by means OF that tnea-
fure, TO preferve the Germanlc empire
frola the extremity equally prejudIcial to
It's contribution as to its independence, OF
leeing the important changes IN IT'S terri
torial and constitutional relations executed
by unilateral military occupations without
The participation Of, the emperor and OF the
empire, participation competent to them
however, according to the treaty OF Lnne-
Vile and the law OF nations. Bur his I'm
perial n,aiefy had not the happiness TO at
tain his paternal and patriotic objeet.
Within the time when the projects con-
corning thefe changes were fill mytterl-
ouly concealed from the emperor, and
from the Germanic body, military opera
lions were executed in the northern cir
Giles. The difpoGsion made at the fame
infant, with the greatelt publicity 10 an.
other country, in the centre ofSermany,
were relative to 70 great mails OF ta'es,
that not only great part of The countries
anured by anterior negotiations 10 The
grand duke Of Tulcany, were comprlied IN
them, but to replace them By other itates
was rendered impollible by other arrange
menes. His majeity learned at the fame
time, that comfortable afemblages of Pa
lathe troops had taken place along the
Ian, and upon, the frontiers ct the
territory Of P4GAu. The prince BIZ
fhop ofPaGau appr!fed him of the urgent
danger to which he law himftlf expoied,
and of the approaching invahon OF his re-
hdence and petitions with which he was
threatened. He invoked the protection
OF his ma ieRy the emperor ard king His
majcay Tefolved in conf,quence, 10 prevent
thefe enterprises, contrary TO the authority
and the interet of the imperial court, by
tending his co-commiiiioners to the diet,
and plenipotentiary TO the dePotdtion OF
the empire at Munich, with tie mott pre-
vensiye inaruttions.
&c lie was ordered to make the mott
friendly approximations agalne the!e mea-
fures, which gave the tignal OF general
conluGon, and example OF violence, ard
which obliged ,he imperial court to take
energetic uleafures of precautlon to iecure
for his royal highnefs the grand duke, the
indennities which had been folennly pro-
mi{ed to him by France and the empire.
M. de tIugel was, in confequence, antho-
rifed to propo(e convention By which the
Two courts was TO abitain from all the &C.

pire had entirely terminated It's deliberate.

to open negotiations with the Palatine e
leetoral court, to arrange and combine the
reflective claims of indemnity, promifng
on the part Of the imperial court, the mott
i1ncere and gseatea repea fer his elette-
raj highnefs. But all thefe repieltn,au-
ons and proportions were thrown Aide
The tPalatine electoral court refuled to
conclude an arrangement of non occupatl
on even for three weeks. At the fame
moment the Palatine troops attempted, by
paAing the Aufrian territory, to take the
city of PaHaa by furprife. The court OF
Munich did not even choofe to bind itielf
TO delft in future from fuch meafures. All 4
thefe events confirmed and augmented the
fears ofh;s imperial majeay, and, as he
learned at the fame time, that the entry of
the Palasine troops into the city and b.
fhop-ic of PatIau was to take place inme- /
diately, his majeRy could 10 longer alb
fain to take the neceaary precautions to
occupy tn. CITY and principali1y OF P4har,
and to extend hele mealures to the neigh

tolfgaden.
His maieay haltens to make known
