STATE PAPER.
Manifesto of the Emperor of Germany, for letting his troops enter Poland, distributed by his Majesty's order by Count Harmoncourt, Commander in Chief of the Austrian troops, to the Inhabitants of Poland.
Whereas his Imperial Majesty cannot behold with an indifferent eye the troubles which have arisen in Poland, which might have dangerous consequences for the safety and tranquility of the countries belonging to his Majesty. He has given me orders to repair with the troops under my command to the Polish territory, in order, that, by so doing, not only all the dangers will be averted from the frontiers of Gallicia but that the tranquility and safety of the countries of his Majesty the Emperor be consolidated. In consequence the public has been apprised, that those who Shall behave peaceably, friendly, moderately and consistently to the Austrian soldiers, will have to expect mighty protection and safety, both of their own persons, their estates and property; those on the contrary, who shall go so far as to render themselves guilty of an inconsiderate resistance, will bring upon themselves all the severity of martial law.
(Signed) JOSEPH COUNT HARMONCOURT
Head-Quarters Wielowitch, June 30, 1794.
