PROCLAMHTION BY
d A YOU S T,
TO THE ARMY OF THE RHINE,


HEMAu. April 10.
Soldiers-His Majesty the Empercs. of
Austria commenced hostilitics on the 9Th
inst This was announced by his Generals
in Chief on the 9th. They have taken up
arms. The orders of the day delivered to
the Austrian armies are merely the effusi-
ons of scurrility. This is not the way to at
tack the soldiers of the Emperor Napoleon.
They threaten to overwhelm us with defeat
and disgrace upon the plains of Ulm and Ma
rengo. Your conduct will shew what right
they have to make use of these threats
Soldiers, our believed sovereign, when he
was first Consul, offered peace, the Emperor
OF Austria refused it-Marengo compelled
him to accept of terms. The English broke
the treaty of Amens. Our Sovereign had
collected his armies on the French coast,
and the Emperor of Austria availed himself
OF that juncture, and without any previous
declaration of war, violated the territory of
our allies, and threatened ours. Ulm'compcl-
led the enemy of our sovereign again to
make peace. In the present instance the
Emperor of Austria has threatened the ter
ritory of our allies, without the least appear
ance ofany difference between the two pow-
ers, and conceiving himself in situation to
undertake hostilities, has actually common
ced war. The directors of the Austrian
cabinet have very great interest in the
result OF heir libellous scurrilities. Woe be
those who may dare to disseminate them.
and by these means excite disturbance the
prompt execution of military law will be the
inevitable consequence.
Soldiers-in spite of those libellous re-
proaches, Germany has done honor to your
discipline and good conduct. You do not
make war against the inhabitants those IN
fortunate sacrifices to the views of the House
OF Austria, whose ambition has stained so
many pages of history with blood, and whose
arrogance has again excited such agitation
among the nations.
'' A soldier of Napoleon must not only be
tree from censure, but without fear Ifthere
are any OF contrary character in our ranks.
and who shall so far transgress against
the fundamentals of all discipline as to dis
honor his cloth by plumber or disobedience.
punishment shall speedily follow.
The results of this war are Certain
We shall be supported by the Emperor A
lexander, who is faithful to his engagements
in peace or war. With his armies, whom
You highly respect with the confederate
sovereigns whose wish is that we should A.
yenge their cause, and secure them in future
against the ambition of our eternal enemy !:

victory must be ours. Your Courage, and
the genius of your Sovereign, when YOU see
him in the midst of you, will be the most in
tallble assurance of your triumph.

The Austrian Monarchy was also to submit
to the boundless ambition of the Emperor
Napoleon /; and i'll the same manner he strives
TO suhdue Spain, insults the sacred Head of
the church, appropriateS to himself the pro-
vinces of Italy, and parcels out the German
doninions. Austria was to do homage to the
great Empire, the formation of which he has
loudly announced.

himself hostile to Austria, unless she should
reilnquish her measures OF defence, and pros
trate herself disarmed at his feet. The dis
graceful proposal was rejected, and now his
hosts are advancing against us, arrayed for
battle.

worms They were frequently troubled with
convulsion fits, and violent startlngs In their
sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and
purging, particularly the Youngest made
immediate application to a physician OF the
first reputation, ard his medicines were ad-
ninistered with aconG ence OF success, which
only increased our disappointment The
children grew daily worse, and was absolute
ly without hopes Of their recovery. The
youngest soon appeared almost devoid OF AMI

world. In this distressing moment was told
that Hami!ton's Worm Destroying Lozenges
had performed many cures in cases equally
desperate. | Immediately purchased box,

sumed, and had the appearance OF skin and
