" By the correpponnenee 01 General Morand :hul St. Cyr, I pet , . ceive that the most severe simonises are intended to be used agAinst the inhabitants of the Hanoverian dominions, who, having been li berated • iy the viebn ions arms of his Altijesty the Emperor of Russia, received in Ms name orders to consider titetoselves as the subjects of taeir lawful Sovereign, and who, by the express orders of the Com mander of the 'twat in troops were oblig: d to take up aims to defend themselves and their dwelling ',laves. " It was not in their power to refuse compliance with these orders. A punishment, equally just as severe, would have beeu the mutvoid Ade consequence of their base desertion of their duty to wards their Sovereign; and it would undoubtedly be eoolrary to the ,aws of • ations adopted ay ad eivilized people, should a single Ha- . loyerian snoject be con, , Hett ,, l a rebel, and treated as such.

It is stated, that when the French, after their late advance to Luneburg, were expected to attempt to reach liamborigh, the Danish troops and gun-boats received positive orders not to soar them to violate the Dani-h territory, which would have either carried them to take a very circuitous route, er to have commenced hostititle, aga . nst the Dane , .
