Charged particularly with the safety Of the
Rhenish confederation, he is warned to be on
his guard; nc will call out his contingent, and
will himself march his troops from the interior
towards the Rhine. On all sides we shall be
under arms. In such a state of things spark
will suffice to produce condagratlon,
does Austria seriously wish for war? What
advantage does she hope from il? We are sure
that she can expect no corporation from Russia.
She Will derive but indifferent benefit from En-
, gland, She will be without an ally upon the
continent. If she does not want war, why this
excessive expence which wastes her finances, de-
stroys her bankers, and annhilates the credit of
her paper money! Why impede the prosperity
OF the interior which is Just reviving. Why
give US any uueasness, alarm Europe with the
dread OF renewal of the war and ALLEVIATE from
her the Emperor who vii! be less disposed to let
her cooperate in the arrangements OF Europe
surely, she will not reproach us, if we take a
hostile and menacing attitude; it is barrier that
Austria will raise between France and herself,
since France has given every proofof a desire TO
live with her in the most perfect harmony.
You, sir, value the preservation of tina, har-
mony, and you know thar II is nor less the OBJ

this letter, which write to you witha freedom,

L. 5. Should you, sir, have any doubts of
the truth of the facs stated in this letter, might
appeal, not only TO an immense number of the
letters OF our merchants, which oil convey APP
3relensions Of seeing Austria engage in war,
bit the official papers published by your gov
eminent. For example, | refer you to the pro-
Camatlon circulated at Trieste by the archuke
john, aud the count de Saurau, in which it was
sud to the inhabitants Of Trieste, that, although
they were NOT bound by tile laws, to cntol them
SELVES Ill the militia, it was nevertheless their
duty, as good subjects, to obey the call of their
sovereign, hen individual and public safety,

lcct the devotion and fidelity they had often ex-
hibitcd on former occasions. The remainder OF

lDiine and military exercises, as a country in
vailed would prescribe to its inhabitants as the
only means OF their defence"
