her back to the ancient principles of the
Law OF Nations, and of civilized states. 1t
is by exiting her ships from all the coasts
where we have soldiers and allies, that the
English ministry will be punished for the
culpable refusal of giving peace to the world"
ouch, Senators, were the words we adj
dressed to you, in speaking of the conscrip-
ton OF 1908, and behold a sacred and power
ful league is formed to punish the, English
oligarchy, defend the rights of nations, and
avenge humanity. From the Baltic to the
Mediterranean, from the Nile to the Narva,
but few points remain to the English ships
where they can land, or where they are not
forbidden to touch.
"but 1t is not sufficient to have, bv a lust
reciprocity, pronounced against England
that dreadful sentence of outlawry she must
not DE permitted to be at rest in the seat of
her imquitous domination upon any of her
coasfs' IN any OF her colonies, under any
points OF the globe, which are not vet inter
dicted to her. 1t is necessary that, repealed
from one part of the world, menaced in all
others, England should know not where to
direct the military force of which she has
the disposal and that our armies, more for
mldaole than ever, should be ready to carry
into her possessions our victorious and a.
vengins Eagles.-Such, Gentlemen, are the
motives which have determined his Majesty
u uehanu new Consumption.
"Ihe levy of the preceding year has been,
as you toresaw, the pledge of Continental
Peace-the levy of this year will be the pre-
sage of Maritime Peace-The pillage of
the arsenal and port of Copenhagen-the e.
migration of the Portuguese fleet, have not
yetleft the Continent without ships.
Our legions can yet reach the English
Mil!ua-lreland may yet hope for succour
against oppression-India may vet expect
dehverers and while our ancient phalanxes
snail march to hasten the days of Justice,
new legions of young warriors Shall be train
ed to discipline and to battle, under the pa
| ternal eye OF those warlike Magistrates, of
those Senators Generals, who with SO happy
| zeal have already formed brave men to
replace those whom war has snatched from
the country, or who have been restored to
their families.
l" His Majesty will have superabuntlance
OF means to realise his pacifck views, or to
execute his warlike projects-To the power
tul armies of his faithful Allies, his Maies-
ty will unite, for common defence and tri-
umph, so formidable a mass, that success will
not long be doubtful
" SO just cause will not be vainly defen
ded by SO much force, and protected by so
many powers.-A league so imposing in its
clements, or generous in its policy, so just
IN ITS object. SO great in its means, will at
length bring back our enemies to Justice
through fear, or to submission through viCto-

Declaration Of Prussia against England


The king having bound himself by the 9th
article OF the treaty of Tisit, concluded the
9Th OF July, 1907, to shut without exception,
all the ports and states of Prussia against
the navigation and commerce of England, as
long as the present war between France and
England shall last, his majesty has not hest
tated to adopt progressively the most conve-
nIent measures to fulfil his engagements.
In ordering these measures to be carried
into effect, his Majesty was perfectly aware
OF the injuries and losses which would arise
from them to the commerce of his domini-
ons IN general, and to the trade of those of
ms subjects In particular, who by long Sc
RES OF misfortunes, had acquired new claims
on his paternal solicitude and benevolence :
and at that time his Majesty still INDUCED a
nope that the mediation offered to England
oy Russia, by accelerating the conclusion of
detnltive treaty of peace between France
ana Great-Britain, would lead immediately
10 state OF affairs better fitted to secure the
particular interests of every power.
The king has, however, been disappointed
IN his Juss expectation; the events which
nave since taken place, and which are too
Wen known to need any mention, so far from
having brought near the desired epoch of a
general peace, have only removed it to- grea-
ter distance
All communication has been broken off
between England and Russia. The declara-
ton OF his majesty, the emperor of all the
Kusslas, published the Goth October, of this
year, proves that there exists no further con-
nection between those two powers his Prus-
sian majesty closely attached in every point
OF view to the cause and sy stem of the neigh
boring and friendly powers of the continent.
has no ether rule of his conduct than his duty,
founded on the interest of his dominions. and
on the obligations, contracted by solemn
treaty.
Agreeably to these principles, his majesty
not paying any further attention to conside-
rations which he had hitherto respected. In.
the vain hope of a spesdy general pacifcati-
on; and having refused, since lord Hutchin-
sons mission, to admit any English diploma
tic agent at his court, has ordered his legation
in London Immediately to leave England, and
to return to the continent
His Majesty, the king of Prussia, in ma
king known these resolutions prescribed to
him by his engagements, and by the interest
OF his kingdom, declares by this present, I'M
til the establishment of definitive peace
between the two belligerent powers, there
shall no further exist any connection between,
Prussia and England.

Senators, when your wisdom called out
the conscripts of 1908, your wishes were d.
rected towards the Peace which signal vic
tories had prepared--you wished to ensure
new means of conquering and pacifyng-
The success surpassed your hopes the flames
OF war are eXtinguished upon the continent
"a durable peace has been sworn between
the two greatest Sovercigns in the world
and Europe has time to breathe.
Z" But there is a government to which the
repose of Europe is despair, to which peace
is terrour, to which discord is necessity and
war hope. England has replied to the offer
of generous mediation offered by the En-
peror of Russia, by carrying fire and the
sword into the territories Of his most ancient
ally, by processing, more solemnly, contempt
of the rights of nations, by proclaiming more
inhumanIy the principle Of eternal war
The indignation Of all Sovcreigns has repli-
ed to the injurious manifestoes, to the cum

which the orators of his Majesty made to
