in a note, by our Cabinet minister. 

 Count Munster, our first Pleni- 

 potentiary at the Congress at 

 Vienna, to the chief Courts of 

 Europe, We hereby command all 

 our faithful subjects and public 

 authorities, to employ in future in 

 all acts, &c. instead of the old title, 

 that of King of the united King- 

 dom of Great Britain and Ireland, 

 King of Hanover, Duke of Bruns- 

 wick and Luneburg, &c. 



Given at Carlton-house, this 

 26th day of October, 1814, in the 

 55th year of the reign of his Ma- 

 jesty, our Father. 



Note by his Excellency Prince 

 Repnin to the Saxon Autho- 

 rities. 



An official letter of the Minis- 

 ter of State Baron de Stein, dated 

 October 21, informs me of a Con- 

 vention concluded on the 28th of 

 September, at Vienna, in virtue of 

 which his Majesty the Emperor of 

 Russia, in concert with Austria 

 and England, shall put into the 

 hands of his Majesty the King of 

 Prussia the administration of the 

 kingdom of Saxony. 1 have re- 

 ceived orders to consign the go- 

 vernment of this country to per- 

 sons provided with proper powers 

 by his Majesty the King of Prus- 

 sia, who shall present themselves ; 

 and to relieve the Russian Im- 

 perial troops by the Prussian troops, 

 in order thus to operate the union 

 of Saxony with Prussia, which 

 will soon take place in a manner 

 more formal and solemn, in order 

 to establish fraternity between the 

 two kingdoms. 



This union is already of itself 

 the guarantee of great and incon- 



testable advantages for the two 

 kingdoms, and for all Germany : 

 but the benevolence and care of 

 his Majesty the Emperor of Rus- 

 sia, and the well known humanity 

 and goodness of his Majesty the 

 King of Prussia, will yet more 

 increase those happy results. 



After certain preliminary deli- 

 berations, the object of which is 

 the well-being of the whole and 

 of the parts which compose the 

 union, their Majesty's have, to 

 wit. King Frederick William, in 

 quality of future Sovereign of the 

 country, declared, that he has not 

 the intention of incorporating 

 Saxony to his estates as a pro- 

 vince, but to unite it to Prussia 

 under the title of the Kingdom of 

 Saxony, to preserve it for ever in 

 its integrity, to leave it in the en- 

 joyment of those rights, privi- 

 leges, and advantages, which the 

 constitution of Germany shall se- 

 cure to those of the kingdoms of 

 Germany which make a part of 

 the Prussian monarchy, and to 

 change nothing in its present con- 

 stitution ; and his Majesty the 

 Emperor Alexander has testified 

 the private satisfaction which that 

 declaration has caused him. 



Saxon Declaration. 



Frederick Augustus, by the grace 

 of God King of Saxony, Duke 

 of Warsaw, Sfc. 



We have just learned with lively 

 feelings of grief that our kingdom 

 of Saxony has been provisionally 

 occupied by the troops of his Prus- 

 sian Majesty. 



Firmly resolved never to Sepa- 

 rate our fate from that of our
