LETTER FROM HIS MAJESTY THE EN-.
PEROR AND KING.
SENATORS,
we have suited our capital to place ourfelves
IN the midh Of army of Germany, at the mo-
ment weiaw with certainty that its TANKS were me-
naced with unexpected movements Scarcely arri-
we'd on the frontiers Of our States, had an oppor-
tunity OF perceivDg how much our prefence was ne
ceflary there and of congra,ulatng oureves eli the
deeniive meaires that we had taken before we quit
ted the centre of our empire. Already the Pruiiian
armies, ready for war, in motion in all parts
they had pafled their froEters; Sanony was invaded
and the wife Prince who governs it was forced to ACT
againit his WILL and againf the intsreh of his peo-
pie. The Pruian armies had arrived in face of the
cantonments OF our troops. Provocatiuns of every
kind, and even acs of violence had marked the FIJI.
rt OF hatred which animated our enemies, ard the
moderation of our Soldiers, who tranquil at the at
Pet OF all their movements, a1oniihed only at re-
ceivng no orders, reed under the double confidence
ofcourase and a juff caufe. Our frR duty ha. been
to pats the Rhine ourlef, to form our camps and 10
caufe the found of be heard 1t has fpread in
tVthe hearts of all our warriors. Rapid and combi-
ned marches have brought them, in the twinkling
of an eye, to the ipot had indicated. All our
camps are formed, we going to march againtt
the Prufiian armies, and to repe force by force
AT all times, we ought to fay it, our heart is forey
Affected at this eonlaht preponderance which the ge-
Mus OF michel obtains in Europe, occupied incef-
family in :rsvsriins the defsns form for the tran
guilty OF Europe, the repofe and happiness of the
prefent generation beheging every Cabinet by eve
ry kind of Misunderstanding thsfe a(tray whom il
cannot corrupt binding them to their true in,ereRs
l., AL IL
on, any other guide than !the pafions it has known
how to inipire them with. The Cabinet of Berlin
itielf has chofen with deliberaton the part it
takes: it has been thrown into with art and with
malicious addrefs. The King has found hm(elf, all
at once an hundred leagues from his capital on the
frontiers OF tine confederation of the Rhine in the
midi of his army, and oppofite the French troops
difperfed in their cantonments, and who thought
themfelves fulfilled in counting upon the ties which
unite the two States, and upon the layfh proeations
made in all circumstances by the Court of Berlin. In
war 70 Jun, in which we take arms only to defend
our1elf who have provoked by no act, by no preten-
tion and Of which it would be impofIible to align
the cauie, reckon entirely the fupport Of
the lave, and the people; whom circumstances call
upon, give proofs of their love, oil their de-
votion, and Of their courage. On part, perfo-
nal !acrce will be painful us, danger will flop
US, whenever it is the quelon allure the rights, the
honor, and the PROPERTY of our people.

&C. The Undersigned, feeling how much it is of the
fra importance to anfwer Immediately the note
which his exeellency the Prince of Beneyento, Mini
Der for Foreign affairs, has done him the honor of
addrelug ohm this evening, feels hinfelf compel
led limit hnielf the representation Of the follow
ing obiervations. The motives which have engaged
the king my matter, to make armaments have been
the eftec of icheme of the enemies Of France aud
Pruiia; who jealous Of the intimacy which exits be-
tween thefe two powers have done every thing in
their power to alarm by falfe reports coming
from every quarter--Bgt above all what proves the
prt Of this mearure is, that his msjefty ha, concer-
ted it with perlon whatfoever, and that ntelIi-
genee reipecing it arrived fooner at Paris than at
Vienna, St. Petersburg and London. But the king
NV mater, has ordered to be made TO the envoy OF
his malelty the Emperor Of the French and King of
Italy, amieabe communication on the fUbie9 Of
thefe meaiures. That mniter had not yet returned
snlwer upon this communication. The relation
of the nterelng conversations that his Imperial Ma
eIty has dehgned to entertain with the Undersigned
* the Marquis de LueeheIni, could not yet have ar
rived at Berlin After this explanation, the Under
ligned can only teflry to his Excellency moa ar

ded, ill the return Of the courier dispatched to Ber-
