Address to the people of Germany, By the C'on. mender /•, Elite/oj the Imperial Russian Army. Bv a long scries of the most unfortunate events, your country has become a prey to the most cruel and insolent of foes. The manifold sufferings to which you have been subjected are known to tire Emperor mv most preci ous Sovereign ; and his Majesty is so much th* more disposed to take the warmest interest there in, as he himsell has sprung from _ Get man blood ; and mindful el the intimate ties which exist be tween his Imperial House and many of the German Princes, he has never ceased to entertain with rep, rd to the German na tion, nil that esteem to which a people, so numerous, enlighten ed, and virtuous, are justly en titled- With this sentiment of the warmest interest in the late ol Germany, are naturally and inseparably conjoined his Majes tv’s wishes to deliver this empire from its oppressors, and restore it to its j jit l'seedom and inde pendence. His Pdajestv will think no exertion too laborious to attain this great object. Inhabitants of Germane ! the whole Russian arm; lights for your interests Under these cir cumstances so favorable, shall jou alone remain inactive t Shall you be so blinded, as in the pie sent state of things to do noth ing for yourselves ? The enemy is at a great dis tance from his frontiers, in ter ritories, ar.d at a season ol the year, which not only do not afford him sufficient means of supply, but also impede all his opera tions- Will you voluntarily con tribute to hi relief ? Will you act against your own interests ? Forget not that you have all pos sible aid to expect from the brav e army entrusted to my command. I trust that I shall victoriously drive back the cemnuea, !-i\inr ot Europe, anti convince him that there still icmains a people, who faithful to their country and their monarch, have both the in clination and the power to resist his Lot however pro bable may be, his Majesty will still regard it as in’ complete so long as the foe shall not be dliven back beyond his natural boundaries ; and as this is the only means of restoring the jack pendenceof your coun try, and obtaining a general peace upon secure foundations, his Impctial Majesty relics with the fulb-st confidence, that at this finally decisive crisis, the in habitants of Germany, will not only lend no kind of support to the common foe, but, on the contrary, that they will, by a ge luenil resistance render his (ert - - tiier stay in Germany impractica ble, and throw cverv possible d.t ficuhy in the way of Ins retreat towards his own frontiers. By this intimate union of the whole Russian force w ith all the means of the German empire, the com mon object may be attained, and peace,-so anxiously desired, be once more restored to suffering Europe. Take courage then, brave and virtuous Germans. Reflect on the immortal renown ol your an cestors, who in former ages, maintained their independence with the most signal bravery. Unite yourselves under the co lours of such of your pi inces, in whom the unfortunate events ol our times have not extinguished a seme of honour, and their own dignity. To this grand and no bh purpose ot delivcting sour count) y from a foreign yoke, sa crifice every private quairel, e very cousideiation ol internal discord, and then shall you com pose a formidable whole, cap. hie not only of disputing every inch ot ground with the common e n-- my, but also of ultimately van-, finishing tind repelling him 1-i ever within.his natural homier. “In your efforts to attain so glorious an object, yon may rc.y With the fullest confidence on the powerful and continued a* sic -..trice of the emperor, mv most gracious sovereign. The uni versally acknowledged ptinciples of his in pei Sal majesty afford you a guarantee, that not only will his majesty n<t abandon you in the piesent struggle, hut that on the happy termination thereof he will particularly direct his at tention to the restoration of your countrv, which for a succession of centuries rendered your fore fathers the happiest people orrthe lace of the earth, and which can only be destroyed by the domi neering ambition of an enemy, who makes no scruple of tread ing undet foot the most sacred treaties. “ Given at ihe. Imperial Russian head quarters. (Signed) VON BF.NNINGSEN, General of cavalry, military iro va nar of Lithuania, h?c. iffc- BOSTON, April 22.
