3ttrons war, through the mitigation OF sweden,
you were the frlt to make your peace, and you
fent Ambaaadors to reiide at Paris. During e
very crihs, the Germanic body heard nothing of
you: but peace was hardly. concluded, when
You refolved to thew that you were ftil in being,
and yon demanded that a itatue fhould be erect
ed to prince Charles.
This prince has acquired glory, and the ef-
TEEN of Germany. France is the hrft to ac-
knowledge il. But is i, with your troops that
he has acquired it ? If you are member of the
empire, why did you not fuccour it with your
army? If yon are one of the guarantees of the
treaty of Wetphalia. why did you make your
peace before the German empire made theirs
" How does it happen, that you are the only
power that does not feel how difagrecable your
proceedings at Ratiibon are, even to the Ger
manic body tfelf? Whit you fell your cities,
you engage in fantaftic difcufIion of concerns
in Germany; Whit you enjoy hofpitaty at Ba-
den, you inlult your father-in-law. There has
not been a day of your reiidence at Carliruhe,
in which you have not given juft caufe of COM
plant 70 that prince. At laft, during your a.
bode with your brother-in-law, the Ele6tor of
Bavaria, you fgn and date from Munich, a note,
contrary to his interef. This prince was then
weakened by the war; he was furrounded by
armies he was on the point of being invaded;
he would hare wanted your aiE!tance, if your
5
moment, and in the very heart of his capital,
that you write againfi him!
=" You are yet young; but when you fhall
have attained the age of maturity, if you read
the notes which you iiiue as i,1oromtnJ when
travelling pot, you will furely repent of not ba-
wing followed the advice of your. experienced
and faithful miniiters: you will then do that,
which you always ought to have done: you
will regard only the welfare of your fubjects and
the good of your country; what it has done for
you and for your anccfors, require that you
lhou.d not facrifcc its interet to vain and ire
gular pafions. You will attempt no more than
you can perform and you will not drive the
Germanc body into a war, to the fuccels of
which you could contribute nothing and in
which your father-in-law, would probably make
common caufe with France.
eAnd then, if the intereft of the Baltic ndu-
ces you to unite with Denmark, you will feel
that this intsreft is truly yours; that it is con-
ne6ted with the fafety of your fates, with the
dignity OF your crown, and the glory of your ma
ton. You would have taken your precautions
10 as not to have left your coat unprotected, or
to have fuffered an enemy's feet to pats with
IMMUNITY within half cannon fhot from your
flores, to lombard Copenhagen. 1t is not by
iuch trophies that your anceitors acquired glo-
ry, and adorned the page of hiftory. In ihort,
you will not make, from the inducement of a
pitifui fubhdy, what no nation of Europe has
yet made, atreaty 70 unworthy of your rank, as
TO be nearly tantamonnt to an addiction of your
fovereiCnty.
We really think that if you read this advice,
it will be LOFT upon you but we believe, at the
fame time, that you will not receive any other
lefion from France. She is very Indifferent to
all your fteps; indeed fhe does not call you to
account for your conduct, becaufe fhe cannot
confound loyal and brave nation, and peo-
pie, who. being her faithful allies for centuries,
were juftly called the French of the North; nay,
fhe does not confound them; with young man
led attray by falfe notions and unenlightened
by reflection. O..
Your countrymen will be always well treat
ed by France; your merchant fhips will be we'll
received by her; even your fquadrons, if they
are in want, will be vietualled in her ports; ihe
will fee in your flags none but the enfigns of
Gufavus, who reigned before you; and when
the fire of your PATTON fhall be extinguiil,ed,
when you ihall have learnt the true iituation of
Europe, and appreciated your own, France will
be always ready to regard the true interef of
your nation, and to fhut her eyes upon what
you have been, or what you fllall have DONE"
By the ihip Old Tom, from Rotterdam, we

veral fuccefive days. They prefented to him
The budget of the year 10, and the htuation of
the receipts and expenditures of the year IL.
1t refults from this fatement, that our petition
is fatisfaaory; that however great our expen-
COS may be, our refources are ftill more 70; in
fine, that the fate will be in no need of cxtraor-
binary iuccours, nor Of any new taxes. The
hatcment has been made in the fuppofiton of
peace.
Each of the two years which have juit elapted,
