li U±s UN M l NIEXS TO. The events whtcn have sprenc, over Europe the honors of b'oqd shed and fleaclaiion, from an in eatiaUe. thirst of conquest and nggrandrz-m-nt, in ti e present usurped government of •• ranee, are manifest to the whole world. Our endeavours to set hounds to this evil, and to preserve the tranquillity andintegrity of pow ers in alliance with us hy paci fic measures, a!i proved ineffee. tual. The perht!y with which the common enen>y violates the sanctity of treaties and tb~ r;ghts of nations, threatening Europe with universal devastation, in cited us to take up arms in sup port of neighboring kingdoms. The series ol disasters that! be fed the Austrian armies, obligedl that monarchy to con chide a disad vantageous peace flu te>ins dic tated by the ambi ion of the con tpuror,-and the elite necessity of ciicunisianr.es. Aher this, Prussia, vaiS.'v attempting to check’ the mischief hy blishm. nt ot a general and solid peace, through the nv'an.s r>l ire greiation, notwithstanding a'l her sac rifice for the sake of pre serving an alliance with I*ranee, iitiitviiiist.'inrlir.g all her compli ances with the demands of this common enemy., could not long remain exempt from the> calami lies of evar. Lulled into a state of delu sive security r>v (h ■ prospect of a pence which she vainlv hoped to enjov, and the mistaken confi dence she reposed m a treache rous ally, she was suddenly plunged into the very abyss of ruin. The armies <f Napoleon faliingon the Prussian troops ire fore they had time to unite, de feated them, made an easy con quest tis ;h ir defenceless capital, and seized the grea'est part of the provinces ot that kingdom. In such a situation of affair \ seeing the • neighbouring power which divided the wi stern bor dtis of our empire horn France destitute o’ all further means of tiehnee, it -came indispensa ■Liy necessaiy to; us to advance otr hi ini-R, under the command T Fi-dd M.irahd Cotint Kamin skov,for the defence of our terri tories, menaced on that side by an husiile invasion; and having implored the pio.cctrcn of the Almighty,who ever espouses the cause-of the just, we 01 doted c * very clFnrt to he made for the defeat of ibis d.tngeious assail ant, who in tlir peoebmatiops he has pobiislH d,e-u i its his audaci ty so far, as openly to ihi-ateu ttiat he will extend his triumph t-veu ovei our dominions. At the commencement of this ■inevitable wnr, the whole harden of which, after the to.al over throw of our allies, devolves op on o-rr Country, we consider it our first duty to redouble our un ceasing efforts for the preserva tion of the tranq dUiiy and inte gritv of our empire, by aug < minting and collecting me arm ed force of a faithful, brave and -magnanimous people, entrusted to our administration by Almigh ty Providence. The ini-enes which have so rapidly overtaken the neighbouring powers, evince the present necessity ol recourse to unusual means, to great and vigorous measures, which can only he carried into effect by a Zealous attachment to our coun try, bv a manly fiimness of spi rit, and a true sense of national honor. A peo* le really inspired and actuated by sentiuwtiU of that description, arming n u l)t>- dy, may rinse an uusurmounubU rampart against every hostile at tack, however iornnduhie Ne gleet in providing ior ihiir itrer nal security, by such general ar maments,, during the presvn contest with Frartce, in oppoi non to her present system oi plunder and iiiptue, has been attended *vnn the most peaiici %.*1 con. -g lenc-es to Auitru, N liot a iiitic v-oiiu ihutv-d to m im the downfall oi INuj 1 <■ • -*• fete wo? fb terminrd by the lo f. nLw battles - , after which, the enciTU meeting no obstacle, and dreading no opposition from an unarmed populace,suddenly forc ed his wa\ through the interior province's.spread devastation and ttrrorli; his rapid and violent depredations,destroyed the scat tered rem -.. of a routed armv, an‘f t fYcctvo a total overthrow of their mi, ires. The bravery ot the Russian troops, and the vic loties which their unexampled firmness, for the course of a cen tury past, has gained over eve ry foreign foe, to the remotest comers of the earth, the trophies rtiil existing in various r- ts of these realms which have been extended by their aichtsvemei ts ami the recollection of the glory they haie thus acqu ; red, affords os ihe strong.••■t ground to hope that on he present occasion, un der the dispensations ol I'mvi vidence, whose blessings attend the arms of the j ist, a'l the ma id naiio'-s of our enemies .may be confounded, and that the only “traces ih?y have behind them upon our soil win he their own g, aves. The immense tract of country upon which these armies ini-t act, -occasioning many difficulties in the way of their speedy and mutual co-operstion for the de fence of an extensive frontier, the evident danger which would at ile in cu fv (which G ici forbid (li >uid ever be the caf. ) the enemy mi.'ht pene trate into the interior of our empire, compel us to adopt the molt efficacious tneafures to ave.it it, by the eftabliilt ment of a general temporary armament oi Militia, which may be ready at a moment’s notice, to support the regular troops, and able to oppose to the enemy at every Itep, the invincible force of the true sons ■of their country, united for the preservation oi their molt va luable enjoyments.

By the late accounts from Pcteifburgh, we lea 1 n, that the Lmpcror Alexander has illucd an .Uhale, ordeiing, 1 hat Frenchmen, Italians, de nude, Hoiianders, and inhab itants of ihote pans ol the left of the Rhine, winch have lub’ iwittcd to the sway of the U- j fur pet of the Government of; France, (hall leave the coun- j try.” An exception is made in } favor of luch men as have re’ j titled fifteen years in Ruflia, and maintained an irreproach able character, on their taking an oath that, during the war, ihey will hold no communica lion or eorteipondence with France, or any of the coun tries to which the above de feription applies. A breach of this, it is added, will sub jeet them to the heaviest penal ties of the law.
