The Prussians have seized up on your territory. 1 step for ward for its deliverance. J hey have forcibly broke the ties which united your troops, and attached them to your at my. You have to sited your blood ior interests which are not only alien hut hostile to you. My armies were on the point of leaving Ger many, when your territory was violated ; they shall return to Prance as soon as Prussia ac knowledges your independence, and renounces the designs which she formed against yon. Saxons ! Your Prince had, un til this moment, declined to fo;m alliances which ate so repugnant to Ins duties ; it he has since con sented to them, it has only been f t c ibly occasioned by the inva sion of the Prussians. I was deaf to the repeated pro vocations which Prussia gave to my people , I was deal to them as long as she confined Iter arma ments within her own botinda* tics: and try minister did not leave Berlin until a he .tad vtclal* vd vour ...*t..

Have they not already demand ed every thing ? Have they not for a long time past endeavoured to force your Prince to acknow ledge a sovereignty, which *f sub mitted to, would erase you from | the rank of nations. Your independence, your con stitution and your liberty, would then cuiy consist in remem brance ; and the shadows ol your ancestors, of the brave Saxons, would be disgraced, by your be ing, without resistance, cast into tfiavevy which has be< n so long premeditated, and by your cuun trv be tog dep'rad .•'! s') low, “ t to ron-‘Uuie a Prussian province. Cv./I ill one IS- at Tderidorf, Oct. U, 1806, (-igned) N Apol-Eo}!. DELICATE From the Royal Cornwall Gazette. Though the London prints | still continue silent on the snb i ject of the ‘ Delicate Inquiry,’ k to our astonishment offer not (Hie word in support cf the cause of an it jure cl Princess, the freedom of the pres* is not entirely over aw'd by die fear of rpenkirg truth on this <1 elicate and impor tant affair. A pamphlet h*s last week made its appearance, un der the title of “ An admonitory Tetter loins Boy a l Highness the Prince of Wales.” ‘1 he anecdotes which it brings to light ate tun Sc important, but being asserted by an anonymous author, they are not stamped with that value and authority that could lie wished. Some singular disclosures, how ever, a re.made, sufficient to di rect the public eye to the quaiter from which the report fust ori ginated; its chief excellence, therefore, will be found in the ad vice and remarks it offers to the prince, which are certainly dic tated bv the pen of a sensible, dispassionate, and well-informed writer. Should they ever meet his Royal Highness’ perusal, the)’ must, we think, tear the ban dage from bis eyes, and shew him with what a train of syco phant ar.d parasites be is sur toundccl. Os the innocence of the princess we believe none en tertain a doubt; that there must have been some very strong alle gations produced, ere such an enquiry was instituted, everyone believes;—And now that she stands acquitted, nay more, that she was falsely accused, why not proclaim her innocence in terms as loud as her accusation has been:—bltall we tell the rea sons? and we are happy to find that this author confirms us in them. There is a parly whose rank precludes the possibility of legal prosecution, and whose name ts held too sacred for pub lic animadversion,” a doctrine certainly till now unknown in the British constitution, .ihe con- elusion of thispamplet is so much in unison with our own feelings, anx we believe those of the coun try at large, that we cannot resist the opportunity of quoting the following animated apostrophe, addressed 10 his lloyal fiigli ness. ‘‘Oh! think in these eventful times, what perils await the mo narch who rules not in his peo ple’s hearts, what horrors his country has cause to dread from internal disorder and conflicting [tatties; then will you shudder at the paths which lead to such dis astrous consequences, and, ifone spark of patriotic virtue glimmer in your breast, avoid their courses forever. *■* Let your first step be to de mand an exposition of ali the facts relating to the delicate enquiry on which i have before dwelt, insist on the guilty being punish ed, to the world; pay no re gard to personages, and though yout dearest ft tends be implicat ed, sacrifice them to public dutv; thus shall you silence the tongues of your own accusers, and com pel them to acknowledge you have acted as becomes the digni ty of a Prince, and the feelings ot a man. “ Alas! I can advance no stron ger arguments to urge your Rov. al Highness to act tnus, no peV suasions more truly calculated to make an impression on a feeling heart, than those contained in a letter you recently received from your illustrious, much injured Princess.*’ * 4 Unhappy stranger! like a tender exoiic, transplanted from her native soil, she sought pro tection in this genial country where she was welcomed with an enthusiasm worthy the expectati ons of fumre happiness her com ing too falsely excited, but he, who should have protected her •fyrmtbe storm, frit r ghrtrd, arc! dtn Tlrsetted ht; still was t-be level’ in the shade, whither site Toped to shelter her defence |eSs bead- Alas! even there has she been assailed by the (tost cf rahtmnv-, n <1 shall the he new i denied that t etiibutioji her inno cence so justly rskeci her God s rakt , Sir. resist tot iu r entrea ties, oppose not her just demands; and when u'n hate operdv e:.- c rted vour it fluence to obtain this act of common justice, A w ‘,l be absolutely necessary to discharge from vour service all those oe pendent wretches who have in any wry countenanced or abetted the in-fa-roou-s conspiracy against the purity of an illustrious consort, to whom \ou shofild hencefor ward behave with that respect which is due to her virtues as an individual, and her rank a? Prin cess of Wales, although your heart unfortunately refuses the affection of a husband. Adhere no longer to men in the constant habit of opposing \ our Royal Father’s wishes, St cease to asso. date with a woman, who esteems j’cu only as the necessary instru ment of her interested ambition, and whose moral and religious principles the nation regards with disgust and jealousy. ,k By acting thus, and paying a just regard to virtue and deco rum, } our errors will be con signed to oblivion; you will be come the idol of your country; and when it shall please the /\|. mighty Power to afflict ns with •he loss of our inestimable mo narch, the hopes of a virtuous succe*‘’or shall diet iale our sor -1) rows. The Morning Chronicle savs, “ We are happy to announce that the much wished for report, has b( en at length delive v ed to the much injured, illustrious lady, whose situation has excited the interest and engaged the sympa thy of every honest bosom in the British empire. We understand she report hears date the 14th Julv, though it was delivered to the illusttious lady only on : the 11th of August. It contains a general and absolute acquittal from every thing criminal; but it is said, at the same time, to notice some tiifling levities.— The whole of the proceedings have been grounded upon the de position of a certain gentleman and his lady, and of some menial servants who formerly belonged to Carleton-Kouse. The evi dence, or at least the material part ol if, is adjoined to the re port, and the whole is expected to be given to the public.” We have only farther to notice a cir cumstance in the manner of deli vering the report to the Princess, which though but a point of eti quette, will yet he regarded as not unwot thy of remark. The report, we are informed, was conveyed to the Prince by’ one of the Lord ChancJlor’3 footmen. It will probably turn out that his Lotdship in person presented it to the Prince, t Brighton on the following day. The public will,weare sure,think with us, that this distinction was not respectful, nay more, that it was not decent* The lord Chan cellor himself ought, in proprie ty, to have waited on the Prin cess, and in doing so, he certain ly would not have derogated from his dignity. * Some little time past this a rniable Princess wrote two let ters, one to the K g, and ano ther to her august husband; in both she entreated, nav demanded, that the proceedings of the Com missioners should he published; 1 and in the latter she ingenuously told his Royal Highness that al though she believed him inno cent, nothing would so strongly confirm her in that opinion as his exerting his influence to have her wishes on this head complied with.
