Manifesto of his Majesty the Em- 

 peror of Austria, King of Hun'- 

 gary and Bohemia. 



The Austrian monarchy has 

 been compelled by its situation, by 

 its various connections with the 

 other powers, and its importance 

 in the confederacy of European 

 states, to engage in most of those 

 wars which have ravaged Europe 

 for upwards of twenty years. 

 Throughout the progress of these 

 arduous struggles, the same politi- 

 cal principle has invariably direct- 

 ed his imperial majesty. A lover 

 of peace from a sense of duty, 

 from his own natural feelings, and 

 from attachment to his people,— 

 free from all ambitious thoughts of 

 conquest and aggrandisement — his 

 majesty has only taken up arms 

 when called by the urgent neceis- 

 sity of self-preservation, by an 

 anxiety for the fate of contiguous 

 states inseparable from his own, or 

 by the danger of beholding the 

 entire social system of Europe a 

 prey to a lawless and absolute 

 power. To promote justice and 

 order has been the object of his 

 majesty's life and reign : for these 

 alone have Austria contended. If 

 in these frequently unsuccessful 

 contests deep wounds have been 

 inflicted on the monarchy, still his 

 majesty had the consolation to re- 

 flect, that the fate of his empire 

 had not been hazarded upon need-

 all his decisions were justifiable 

 before God, his people, his con- 

 temporaries and posterity.
