PRUSSIdW MANIFESTO.
LONDON. October Of.

We this day lay before the public tranilation of
| the King of Pruiia's Manifeao. This important
document ifued at the headquarters Erfurt,
on the 9th inn. and was publiihed in the Hambu,gb
| Corr5pondtnten of the 18th and 18th inn,
1t is clear from this very interehing State Paper
that the Pruiian ultimatum rejected, no arbra-
n,ent but that of the fword, could decide the nume-
rous and nerealing grounds OF difference which fub-
fitted between Pruilia and France From the tenor
OF the ManfeNo, are perluaded that his PrufIan
Majefy has determined endure the laft extremity
rather than fubmit to the unseaiing nults and EN-
croaohments of France. All theie, as well tie
forbearanoe and partiaity of Prua towards France,
| are enumerated with minutoneis, and accompanied
with that of obferyation which Demonstrates that
the former coDGders himfef treated with the moQ
attrocious injufiice and the blackeR ngratitude.
We ihould not he lurprfed to Zee the war between
| Pruiia and France aAuue fosnething of perfonal,
and particularly acrimonious, character. There are
fome Paiagcs in the Mnnifefo which Bonaparte mutt
feel nrongly. The murder of the Duke d'Enghien ;
the kidnapping of Sir G. Rumbold; the robberies
committed, under the name OF loans, upon the Hanle
Towns the fuggeftion of what he might have done
for the happiness of France and the peace of Europe
and the little hopes of future tranquility, which
be expected from his rsilefs and unbounted ambit-
all calculated gall and irritate the iracible
dpoiitiou OF Bonaparte. The alluiion to the firt
eireumhance, in particular contains in it grounds
nough for of extermna,ion. The Uiurper will
forgive the reference that foul and arociou.
midnight murder
In point of arrangement and competition, this Ma
pifeho is not excelled by any document of fimilar
nature in modern diplomacy. It is, beyond doubt,
the mo forcible appeal againa the dangers of French
ambition which has yet appeared The fass fated in
it uudeniable--uncontrovert There is not
State in Europe which cannot bear teimony them
there is fcaraely in which their effects are not
felt.--We Ahal be much disappointed if it does not
produce, and particularly in the empire, very great
ienfaton indeed.
