4. Upon a convention of the 3d of January 1778, extorted by force from his Serene Highnefs the prefent ElectorPalatine; which, though it had been made with his free confent, would be of no validity notwithstanding, fince that prince has neither the right to violate the laws of the German conftitution, nor the family compacts of his houfe, nor that of difpofing of his hereditary dominions to the prejudice of his heirs and fucceffors: in fhort, a convention which is directly contrary to the capitulation of his prefent Imperial Majefty, to the guarantee of his own houfe, to the treaty of Munster, to the golden bull, to the treaties of Pavia in 1329 and 1520, to that of Ofnabruck in 1620, and to the treaty of Weftphalia in 1648; as alfo to the different family-compacts between the houses of Bavaria and Palatine made in the years 1425, 1524, 1724, 1746, 1766, 1771, and 1774, all of which were founded upon the treaty of Pavia, and approved and confirmed by the different emperors and electors, agreeably to the laws and conftitution of the empire.

It is confequently in confideration of thefe manifeft contraventions of the court of Vienna, that his Pruffian Majefty has done all that lay in his power to engage bis Imperial Majefty peaceably to evacuate the Bavarian dominions, and to fubmit his claims and pretenfions, conformably to the laws and conftitution, to a legal decifion of the princes and members of the empire. But all his ef. forts and reasonable propofitions, far from making any impreffion upon the minds of their Imperial Majefties, have had no other effect than an offer made by the court of Vienna, that in cafe his Pruffian Majefty would not oppose their difmembering the electorate of Bavaria, the houfe of Auftria, from a fenfe of gratitude, would make no oppofition to the reuniting of the margraviate of AnIpach-Bareith to the electorate of Brandeburgh, after the deceafe of the prefent reigning Margrave. This propofition leads to three different important obfer

vations: 1. It clearly demonstrates, that the court of Vienna is fenfible of the illegality of its taking poffeffion of the Bavarian territories, as otherwise it would not offer a pretended indemnification to the King of Pruffia, who, as their Imperial Majefties pretend, has no right to control them in their projects. 2. It intimates an intention in the court of Vienna, to question the natural rights, univerfally acknowledged as incontestable, of the legitimate fucceffion of the houfe of Brandeburg to the margraviate of Anfpach-Bareith; a doubt which perfonified injuftice itself would hardly dare to exprefs. 3. That if even the reverfion of Anfpach-Bareith to the houfe of Brandeburg was manifeftly unjuft, their Imperial Majefties would be, notwithstanding, ready to acknowledge and support the fame by force, to the prejudice of the parties that might be interested therein, provided they were left uncontrouled in their prefent ufurpation of Bavaria. But this offer being unjust, could not be admitted by the King of Pruffia; and therefore their Imperial Majefties declared, as their final refolution, "That they would not abfolutely evacuate any part of the Bavarian territories; that his Pruffian Majefty fhould acknowledge their rights without any farther exami nation, but be fatisfied with the manner in which they have expofed the fame." The King has thereupon thought proper, after the example of the court of Vienna, to break off all farther negotiation upon this affair.

It would therefore be against all reafon to fuppofe his Pruffian Majefty to be the aggreffor in the war which he finds himself under the neceffity to undertake, as it has been fufficiently proved, that the court of Vienna has begun the aggreffion, by invading the Bavarian dominions without any right or title, and wrefting from the Palatine house the juft reverfion of its patrimony. His Majejefty therefore hereby declares, that his fole object in this measure is to fupport the laws and conftitution of the German empire, which have been injured in the most arbitrary manner by the very prince, who, from his quality as chief of the empire, ought to have been their molt ftrenuous protector; to affift thofe princes, his friends and allies, who are thereby injured and oppreffed; and that he has no other particular views therein, than his own fecurity, and the confervation of the fyftem of the empire, having, for U u 2
