Additional Declaration by his most) 
Serene Highness the Reigning 
Duke of Brunswick, Lunenburg, 
addressed, as was that of the 25th 
of July, to the Inhabitants. of 
France. | 
THE declaration which I have 
addressed to the inhabitants at 
France, dated Quarters General of 
Coblentz, July 25, must have suf- 
ficiently made known the firm re- P 
solves of their Majesties the Empe- 
ror and the King of Prussia when 
they entrusted me with the com- 
mand of their combined armies. 
The liberty and the safety of the 
sacred persons of the King, of the 
Queen, and of the royal family, 
being one of the principal motives 
which have determined their Impe- 
rial and Royal Majesties to act in 
concert, I have made known, by my 
said declaration to the inhabitants 
pf Paris, my resolve to inflict on 
them the most terrible punishments 
if the least insult should be offered 
to his Most Christian Majesty, for 
whom the city of Paris is particu- 
larly responsible. 
Without making the least altera- 
tion to the 8th article of the said 
declaration of the 25th instant,I de- 
clare besides, that if, contrary to all 
expectation, by the perfidy or base- 
ness of some inhabitants of Paris, 
the King, the Queen, or any other 
person of the royal family, should 
be carried off from that city, all the 
places and towns whatsoever which 
shall not have opposed their passage, 
and shall not have stopped their 
proceeding, shall incur the same 
punishments as those inflicted on 
the inhabitants of Paris; and the 
route which shall be taken by those 
who carry off the King and royal 
family, shal] be marked with a series 
of exemplary punishments, justly

All the inhabitants of France in 
general are to take warning’ of the 
dangers with which they are threat- 
ened, and which it will be impossi- 
ble for them to avoid, unless they, 
with all their might, and. by every 
means in their power, ‘oppose the 
assage of the King and royal, fa- 
mily, to whatever place the factious 
may attempt to carry them. Their 
Imperial and Royal Majesties will 
not allow any place of retreat to be 
the free choice of his Most Christian 
Majesty (in case he should comply 
with the invitation which has been, 
made him) unless that retreat be 
effected under the escort which has 
been offered. cin bain 
All declarations whatsoever, in 
the name of his Most Christian Ma- 
jesty, which shall be contrary to the. 
object which their Imperial and 
Royal Majesties haye in yiew, shall) 
consequently be considered as null, 
and without effect. L lo ye
