volunteer companies of yagers be 
formed; and the landwehr called 
together... The youth of the chief 
classes of the citizens, from the 
age of 20 upwards, are at liberty 
to.join either the landwehr first 
called out, or the yager corps of 
the regular army. Every young 
man who has completed his 17th 
‘year, may, if possessing the re- 
-quisite bodily strength, join the 
army of his own choice. I pub- 
dish a_-particular regulation on 
this subject. Concerning the for- 
mation of the single corps, and of 
the landwehr, a notice will ap- 
pear in every province from the 
‘constituted authirities. 
« “Thus united, with all Eu- 
rope in arms, we again enter the 
lists against Napoleon Buona-. 
parte and his adherents. Arise, 
then, with God for your support, 
for the repose of the world, for 
order, for morality, for your King 
and country.

ritory of Mantua on the right 
bank of the latter river, also the 
province of the Valtelin, the coun- 
‘ties of Chiavenna and Bormio, 
are incorporated with the Aus-

guarantee for the close ties which 
henceforth bind them to us, we

districts into a kingdom, by the
