Colleges. In truth, what organ c.ui >•**.•
more naturally choose, than that of a
Prince, to who e wisdom has been <cr
fided the task of preparing the first fun
damental statute. We skerid lave
waited until that statute had teen decre
ed by the Congress, and had been com
municated to us, if it did not contain dis
positions which personally regard us.
That alone, has induced us to take to
ourselves tiie initr.tive, b: erdor to submit
our sentiments and our reiiccftons to the
w isdom of the Confederated Prince:;.
When we accepted the title of Prc- •
tec tor of the Confederation of the If inc,
we had nothing in view but to establish
in right what had existed in fact for ma
ny ages. In accepting it, we contrac
ted the double obligation of guarantee
ing the territories of the Confederation I
against foreign troops, and the tcni'orv I
of each Confederate against the cm, -’
; prizes of others. These all-prcscrvicg |
obligations are plearing to olir hearts ; I
they are confoi n;able to tht.se seniiments i
. ol benevolence and tiiendship of which 1
we have, without cetuing, pi.en proofs!
to the Members of the Confech ration.—
i’.ut these out duties towards them end.
We do not w ith to be understood as ar
rogating to ourselves, tiuit poitk.i of
sovereignty which was exercised by the
; I'.mperor .ol (leruiaoy as bovereign.*—
j The government of the people whom
Providence has cr,ntided to us, occupies
all our time ; we could not see an ip
-11 * ase “f our obligatit ns witfc< datm.
A * v, c do m.t v, i h to be ascribed to us
tiie good w hich sovereigns may effect in.
: Iheir states, neither <!o v. e with to be
imputed tons the evils which ti.e vi( issi
tucles ol hum. n affairs mav introduce.
1 be internal a*..j*s oi each state, we do
5 not regard. The Princes of the Con
ic deration of the Rhine are sov ereit us,
! w ithout any sovereign over them. \Ve
have recognized them as such. The
discussions which they may have with
their subjects cannot, therefore, be bvo’t
before a foreign tribun.fi. The Diet is
the tribunal whore office is to maintain
peace lietween the different so: ereigns
who compose the Confederation. Hav
ing recognised all the othci prh ceswho
form the Germanic botiv, as indepen
dent sovereigns, we cannot recognize
anyone as their sovereign. We have
no relations of sovereignty with the con
ic dot a tit.n (.( tile j, i .tiie, but tncrely those
ot simple protection. More powerful
than the Confederate Piinoes, we wish
i to-use the •superiority of our power, not
} to restrain their ri; hts of (overeigntv,
j but to guarantee their tig tis iii their
plenitude.
