April 14. The King of Prussia has just issued a fresh declaration in favour of the Dissidents of Poland, signifying his approbation of the confederacy formed by them, and of the powerful protection granted them for that purpose by the Empress of Russia, with whom he has hitherto acted, and shall continue to act, in concert, in every thing relating to the affairs of Poland; but, in order to prevent the fatal consequences which must result from a long continuance of the troubles in Poland, and a denial of satisfaction to the Dissidents, his Prussian Majesty advises the illustrious Polish nation to assemble in a Diet extraordinary, to accomplish a general pacification between all its members; and he flatters himself that this counsel will be regarded as a fresh proof of his invariable friendship for the Republic of Poland, and of the sincere interest which he takes in its welfare.
