GENERAL HISTORY. 



ri63 



Russian general at the Hague con- 

 certed operations for the total ex- 

 pulsion of the enemy ; and hence- 

 forth the progress of the Dutch 

 revolution is inseparably connected 

 with that of the allied arms. 



We now revert to the move- 

 ments of the Crown Prince of Swe- 

 den, which were of such essential 

 importance to the liberation of the 

 north of Germany and the United 

 Provinces. After the battles of 

 Leipzic it had been his first inten- 

 tion to march on Cassel ; but va- 

 rious considerations induced him 

 to direct his course more towards 

 the north, one of which, doubtless 

 not the least efficacious, was the 

 immediate restoration of the elec- 

 toral dominions to the crown of 

 England. He left his head-quar- 

 ters at Muhlhausen on Oct. 29th, 

 »nd on the 31st arrived at Gottin- 

 gen, where his presence caused un- 

 bounded joy to the people, as the 

 signal of their deliverance from 

 an odious tyranny, and their re- 

 turn to the mild and paternal rule 

 of their legitimate sovereign. On 

 November 6th, he moved his head- 

 quarters to Hanover. His entry was 

 preceded by a proclamation to 

 the Hanoverians, in the name of 

 the Privy Councillors of the King 

 of Great Britain, appointed to the 

 electoral ministry of Brunswick- 

 Luneburg for the State and Cabi- 

 net. Its purpose was, to announce 

 Iheir resumption of the govern^ 

 ment of the electoral dominions, 

 and to confirm the provisional com- 

 missions of government appointed 

 by the military authority. At the 

 •ame time the people were ex- 

 horted not to lay aside their arms, 

 OT relax in their exertions, till the 

 iibtrfttion of Germany should be 

 completed and fully secured. The 



Crown Prince proceeded to Bre- 

 men, which city lie entered on the 

 17th. He there received infor- 

 mation of the advance of the Rus- 

 sian troops under Winzingerode 

 to the Yssel, and of the march 

 of Bulow's army upon Arnheim, 

 the results of which have been al- 

 ready mentioned. It appears at 

 this time to have been his inten- 

 tion to proceed in person to Hol- 

 land, and take the command of 

 the Russian and Prussian troops 

 employed in the recovery of that 

 country. 



In this progress of restoration, 

 which appeared to be the general 

 order of the day, it could not be 

 thought extraordinary that the Ty- 

 rolese, who had been transferred 

 against their will from Austria to 

 Bavaria, should exhibit symptoms 

 of a wish to return to their former 

 master. Some manifestations of 

 this kind undoubtedly were the 

 cause of an address *' To the in- 

 habitants of the Italian and Illy- 

 rian quarter of the Tyrol," issued at 

 Botzen on October Sith and sign- 

 ed Roschmanmj, Privy-Councillor 

 of his Imperial Majesty. After 

 adverting to the treaty of alliance 

 and amity signed between his Im- 

 perial Apostolic Majesty and the 

 king of Bavaria, and the conse- 

 quent cessation of all hostility be- 

 tween the two powerg, the sub- 

 scriber declares, that the emperor 

 of Austria will consider every vio- 

 lation of the Bavarian territory, or 

 resistance to the authorities es- 

 tablished by his ally, as an act of 

 hostility against himself. He pro- 

 mises peace to the inhabitants of the 

 Tyrol, and hopes that every one 

 will wait in tranquillity the par- 

 ticular indemnifications to which 

 he may have claims. HeconcIudeB:
