This article is too long to translate now,
but in the middle there is terrible re-
proach and threat. Napoleon (savs the
writer) disdained to visit tho archives of
Berlin, and to seize the very treaty by which
Prussia was engaged to act against France

CAssEL, September 6.
The King of Prussia has signifed to our
Eiector, chat he must follow his move
ments, and put his troops in motion Olu.
Elector has signihed to the King Of Prussia,
that he secs 40 motive for these prepara
tions-thac ifthey are directed againa Rus
STA, he has no cause OF complaint against
chat power--if against France he has still
stronger motives to remain quiet, since she
has declared to GUY Elcctor that he migh:
remain perfectly independent, and free 10
pursue the course he esteemed the most pre-
ferable for MS own interest and security-
he could not therefore have any cause what
ever Of complaint against France. Our
Prince further declared, that being IN the
advanced post, he prayed the King of Prus-
STA not to take itaTnisS if he should continue
entirely neuter.
However attached we may he to Prussia
however devoted to its political system.
we cannot but be astonished at a tempestuous
armament, which nothing can explain,
and that, in every point of view, is perfect
ly useless.
