Cradle at old soldiers, ask with avidity TO

Whilst your majesty marched your VIC
torious army from Smolensk towards Mos
cow, you did not dissemble that your pro-
yress IN an eaemDs country added new
chances TO the usual chances of war;
You were even anxious To strengthen the
means Of your operations and, therefore,
ordered the levy of the CONSUMPTION of
1919, which is this day complete and under

With the garrisons of the places Of
France and Italy, your Majes,s has in the
inlerior of your states force of upwards

ces OF their sentiments. Prussia has even
offered TO increase onc.third and to raise
20 10000 men the quota she was engaged to
Furnish by treaty.
But whilst that power was manifestng
dispositions sn copformable To her engage

trigues of England were preparing one of
Csc events which characteristics the spirit
of disorder and anarchy which that power
has never ceased to foment in Europe. Ge-

troops under the orders OF marshal duke de

his general, and his king he has made a

There are no intrigues, no low underhand
dealings, which England has not put in mo-

Under such circumstances, sire and
