WHEREAS the motives which induced his Prussian majesty to order a corps of 20,000 men from an army destined for the defence of the Germanic empire, to march to Southern Prussia, have at present been removed by the happy occurrences which happened in those countries, his majesty being besides convinced, that, in order to procure the accomplishment of the anxious wishes of several of the states of the empire to obtain a speedy peace, his majesty thinks it indispensably necessary to oppose to the enemy the most vigorous preparations for war, and to prevent their further progress. His majesty, therefore, has come to a resolution, to order this corps of 20,000 of his troops to return to their former position on the Rhine, for the purpose of securing the German frontiers against the dangers with which they are threatened.
Given at Frankfort, on the Mayn,
November 21, 1794.
