•a. His imperial MajcHy b ing-in formed, by authentick nd-
P ces that tl c said Princes, contrary to the laws of the
Empire, have t;;k n the liberty to invade the dutchy of
Mcinungcn, by marching a body of troops to afTault and
c *-’ ion;vie the town of Meinunrrci), and that, on this oc
casion, there hud been blood (piit: ‘Fils entci prize h iiig
fonuary to the laws of the Empire, hi:, imperial MajcHy*
T H U R S D A Y, July h % 1763.
reproaching the said Princes with it,* and waving the Inw
pcrial resentments which this proceeding merit*, orders
them to wrthdraw immediately the said trip,, and to leave
the whole to the Imperial decision; informing them, that
in case of difobcdience, the Directorial Princes of the Circle
of>ranconia and Upper Saxony have received orders to
proceed to execution againH them, that the tranquility may
e re.eflablilhed. His Imperial MajcHy informs the faiJ
1 rinces, that he himfclf has taken care of what regard*
”J e . ni *VO n| ng them to comply with his command, and
to juHify tnemiclves m two months, otherwise they muH
expect he will proceed against them accordingly to the ri
gour of the laws. b 1
Pursuant to the said conclufum, a refeript was sent the
fame day to the Directorial Princes of the Circles of tipper
Saxony and Franconia, importing, that though they are
not ignorant ot the infraction of the publick peace,* com-
7 11 c tte^ b V! IC ? r * nccs °f Saxe againH the country am!
iubjcOs of Saxe Meinungcn; (who are under the protection
of the iupreme judge of the Empire) and that the said Di
rectorial Princes are obliged, by virtue of their office, to
put a Hop to these troubles; yet.his Imperial Majeffy could
not forbear charging them in particular, as soon as they
Dial! receive this, to give the Princes of Saxe three days to
put an end to all violence; and in case this exhortation
Hi juid not be regarded, he enjoins the Directorial Princes of
P rancoma and Saxony to order their troops to march againH
the Dukes of ‘Saxe Cobourg, Gotha, and Hildbourghau
fen; and, in order thereto, they are to make u e of the
contingents that make part of the army of the Empire, con
cerning which the General in chief has already received or
ders. It is however probable these measures will not bo
necefltry, feeing it is determined by the conclufum, that
the guardianihip and the adminiHration, begun by the Dut
ches Dowager of Saxe Meinungen, is annulled, in as much
as it is contrary to the advice of the Empire, 1747 ;be fide;,
t*c Princes and Anthony Augustus, bom
of the late Duke and Madam Ccfar, arc declared by that
conclufum incupab.e of fuccecding; and the Dutchcfs’s
taking potfeifion, in the ir names, in confcuucnte of the
will of the late Duke their father, vivas likewise abrogated
and annulled.
His Imperial Majesty sent also another refeript, of the
fame date* to the regency of Mcinungcn, reproaching them,
that, without attending to the advice of the Empire in
1747, they have acknowledged, by order of the late Duke,
hi* two said firft foils for co-rcgcnts. Uis MajcHy also give*
the regency to undcriland, that be has declared thelb two
Princes incapable of inheriting, and reserving to himfclf
the puniflimcnt which the conduit of the regency merits.
His Majclly iurthcr enjoins them to continue, under the
Imperial authority, their functions till further order*, and,
in the mean time, to | übliih the Imperial rdcript to the
fubjctls of Mcinungcn, ordering them not to acknowledge
for tluir fovercigns these two Princes under pain of death.
The Dutchcis Dowager i< commanded by this conclufum
to renounce that article in the late Duke's will, which is
contrary to the advice of the Empire; and his MajcHy adds,
that if this Pnnccfs will plead her right to the guardianihip
of the children, and to the adminillration 01 the country, in
due form, (lie iliall have u tinal rclblution thereupon.
