Thk PRINCE DI COBOURG.
TheMirefchal Prisce of Saxe Cobourg, Gene
ral and Commander in Chief of the armies
of his Majesty the Emperor, and of the Em-
pire, to the French.
The Declaration which I made from my head
quarters at Mons, dated the sth of April 1793
is a public testimony of my personal fentimencs
to reftsre as soon as poflible,peace and tranquil
lity to Europe. In it I manifeited in a sincere
and open manner, my particular <4efire that the
French nation might have a solid and durable
government, founded on the unihaken basis of
julticcand humanity, which might ensure peace
to Europe, and happiness to France.
Now that the result of this declaration is so
opposite to the effe<sU it ought to have produced
and which proves but too plainlythat the senti
ments which have dilated it have been misun
derstood, it only remains for me to revoke it
entirely, and to declare formally, that the llate
of war which fubfifls between the court of Vi
enna and the combined powers and France, is
from this moment unhappily renewed.
I find myfelf therefore forced, by the predo
minating influence of the circumrtancesj which
the most guilty meil persist in dire&ing to the
overthrow and deftru<slion of their country, to
annul entirely my former declaration, and to
make known that a state of war so unfortunate,
being renewed, I have given the neceflary or
ders for commencing it, in concert with the al
lied powers, with all the energy and vigor of
which victorious armies are capable.
The celTation of the armistice is the firfl hof
tileftepthat the unfortunate combination of e
vents has forced me to make. There will there
fore only subsist, of my former declaration, the
inviolable engagement, which I again renew
with pleasure, that the most exact discipline will
be observed and maintained by my army upon
the French territory, and that every breach
thereof willbepunifhed with the utmost rigor.
Thefincerity and loyalty which at all times
have been the principle of my anions, oblige me
to give to this new address to the French nation
all the publicity of which it is susceptible, to
leave no doubt of the consequences thafnayre
