Resolved iltanimously, Thu this distress Is the arum result of a •orrupt-sYstem of Administraton, and of a long and profligate waste of tie public treasure, during a period of upwards of VO years' litarate, which has oceasisneci an expenditure of 1000 millions. and increased our debt, taxes, and poor -rates, to an in etintonahle and frightfid extent, brought our liber t i e s into hand neat pe , ll, and prckv.:dAestruetive to our laminate prosperity; While. also, is I.as terminated iloastrinsaly to the beat interests of considerable proportion of cvilised Europe. • Resolved unaninstitisly, That the oppressive weight of taxation •italtt which the people groan is producingsrapid depopulation, increasing and widely extending pauperism-I-threatening 'coder : Tierces the Its.sst ruinous to all classea and -rank? of cheeses amok y.

Resolved unanimously, That it is as insulting to the ;ender- Standings, as it is injurtco,s to the independence of the people, to ' receive a miserable pittance In the shape of alms, frosn'tbosis Messina and Peosioners who derive their uninetWed and clot.• bitaar incomes Pram the vet) taxes width constitute the grand tense or the Penl47's suflerinp. Resolve I unanimously. That we have seen, with shame and indignation, that the poverty of Great Britain has been pro claimed to the whole world ; and that this once provperrAis and Independent people are reduced to the necessity of accepting cha rity front's Prince of the Hnu.e of Bourbon: and that, while .• Lonentit% this degradation of oar national character, we cannot refrain from urging his Mai-sty's Niminert to demand payment from forergn Powers of the marl millions borrowed s.f this country, under the 'Arian faith of treaties, in addition to the still larg.t subsidies lavished on +rise PoWers, to enable them to raise their own armies, fight their own battles, and promote their own ambitious projects, to the manifest ytejudice of the demos ins , reits of this country. • Resolved unanimously, That the Standing Army, at all times an *We of jealousy 'to the British Peonle, es of a magnitude is the time of peace unparalleled; awl the more alarming to os, as a considerable portion of k his lwen employed, in union with the armies of Continental Despots, in violation of promises, solemn and repeated, to impose on the /mph, of France, a Government In opposition to the (treated choice of her Representatives, and •to prevent twenty five millions cr people front exercising the • lehout which a nation. cannot be free—a right repeatedly exereited by the People of this country—a tight, the assertion of which placed the House of Brunswick on the Throne of these Realms, viz.

Resolved unanimously, That our National distress imperiously demands the most prompt abolition of all useless Places and Sine cure Penssons, which constitute so grievous an addition to our insupportable burdens, and the immediate adoption of the most rigid economy in every branch of the Puhl!c expenditure. Resolved unanimously, That ion; experience has but too fully premed, that the only efficient Lupe of the People is in them eaves united, to exercise their constitutional powers, io order to secure a free, lull, and frequent representation of the poi:lent the Commons Hone of Parliament; the want of which repro- sentrion halting been the primary source of our multitudinous • mile, the possession of such a representation will be the only tranquil, starry and effectual mode of obtaining "indemnity for the 'p a st, and security for the future."

" Because these prinetples were departed from, bemuse an ob. sequlous and thoughtless Police had observed almost exclusively the steps of tie great, instead of attending to the people. it hap pened that in the midst of prosperity, opulence, and peace, it was unable to suppress the first ebullitions of the Revolution, the materials of which, however, had been increasing and maturing for forty years, withaut being observed, or at least without any obstacle being laid in their way.. We have not spoken of the son of the Monarch. it must be the subject of a particular (keen ration. My doctrine could not suit those who wished to make of the Police, not a department of the Maglaracy,which devolved under one common preemie° all the parties that had arisen in the Reiolution, and all that bad contended against it. but an in quisition which wcuid remove their secret denunciathms—nry system was mum* distasteful to those who wanted to brand the vast, m order to have k arbitrarily persecuted and punished for partuned transgressions. The lessons of history are log, and yet they ought to be remembered; all does not succeed whit by pt,critical conduct; one pint the confidence of men only by up rightness, It is as memory for the exercise eat tights, as for the fulfilment of dada.

Old Children! today yea tread der foot what you admired yesterday when will you at length become reasonable, when will you learn to observe and to judge Several of those who now speak with contempt of all that has passed within the five and twenty years, were actors very saber divate, and unknown actors, lii end , in most of the scenes of our Revolutions. By the help of their obscurity, they would, as dr. cumsta:ices permitted, deny or confess thdr pans, but they have acted a pan at well as other,, they appeared upon the theatre; even the consideration which they enjoy in their communes, huwtver inconsiderable it be, they owe to the places which they filled under Napoleon. " Many have done good let them not far to confess ft. The gaol always adorns isle, a: whatever period tt may have been done. Instead of struggling and wishing to appear as if it were denied, they must content with all the wend, that political storms, lake those of stature, do not produce evil alone. It is an extravagant attempt to seek to observe] whatever has been d. totted, that is great or useful an our Revolutions. No me can deceive in respect to what bas passed within these 115 years.—. 1 he world is lull of it. " If people were subjugated by Napoleon. tbey show but little judgment in seeking to depreciate him; the more they lower him the more they debase theniselvcs. The traveller smiles with pity, when Otsego at what great expense the eagles are destroyed upon the monuments which lie mewed or created, as If the memory of the actions was destroyed with the eagles ! " It would be far more reasonable to explain and to justify t►e admiration that Was paid to him. • "At the commencement of Napoleon's Government, all was miracle, his glory bad filled among all nations, the hogkest as well as the lowrost : he possessed nut only the genius est battles, he poss:3sol a science which is twre wont than strength to cum bat—he understood bow to employ it. Nn foresight seemed to make him master of events--obstactes were foreseen, every thing seemed calculated beforehand to vanquish them.

"Abroad Napoleon bad ended the war In . the ant battles; it the Suvereios desired to live at peace with him. lu case of hos-, till:les the hive art glory would have united the whole trench youth under the standards and lintrels ; the youth who had learned to consider heroism as a waist and enjoyment. " The fare of Napoleon was too rich in wonden to excite our astonishment, that people who were more capable of admiring than judging, should believe that the civic of them lay beyond the catch. His empire assumed the appearance of duration, and almost the properms of that sacred character, which time im presses upon the works over which it passes iv its rapid career. All their power whi4b seemed to be eternal, has destroyed itself in the excess ef his ambition, the hope and the fear of seeing it revive, followed him to the Island of kiln; ad, arty Lord, is sunk, and sunk for eves on the field of Waterloo. • " One thhsg goes before all; honesty, be who in the dsys of his greatness was the arbiter of Europe, saw when he made a sport of his own pledged wurd, when he wanted to make this ikon the prerogative of his throne, bow. in an equal degree the just indignation of the same Sovereigns, and of the same nations, whole confidence he had gained, and to whom he had given his every hand in Europe, armed itself to overthrew an arbitrary Fewer, which would neither be checked by opieios, nor regu lated by judgment, nor sanctioned by its own interest. Napoleon band himself in so critical a situation, that like all 'those who •abtaise their power; he wilt compelled to be always victorious, .that be might net be annihilated by revenge. se May what has passed instruct us, that, after having escaped' one abys', we may r,ut bed.:eeured by another.

As soon as an uncontrolled posses Is is the hands of one or of may, the moral deterioration of Indivi duals and the weakness of the State will ohms be the sense qeunce. There needs fui this no despotism, so danger ;It may proceed from the lightning which tell from Heaven, or from the torrent of popular errors, which, if they do not overthrow, at least lay was' e. " I foresaw the storms which must be caused by the mode of election, and the cousequence of the elections of one of the Chambers. I wished that the activitret the Deputies ' width seemed to beams destructive.. might be checked by the forma tion of Communal Assemblies. The overthrow of this firer bulwark of our liberties has led to the destruction of the rest. Man, before he belongs to the Government and the State, be. loop to the place whew be was born. In the bosom of his family, the lest feeling for a country is originated and unfolded, and the bitterest of the commune is the first element of all poll dcal Interests. Thom who take it for granted that men may be united by ♦ number of complicated forms; that they may be go vererd by-the publication of some abstract principles, are unac quainted with both the human heart. and the sources of power; one might my that they have siodied the anstomy of free cooed codeine only In dead systems.

" The system which began to be predominant, and which pitied ground daily, compelled me Wasiak on withdrawing from public.affairs, as I had retired under Napoleon as soon as it seemed to me I:reminds to effect any good. The King had been este eq tape again possession of the Tbrone. Amidst the roiling of the thunder, I did not believe that he wou'd be able to main tain himself upon it. Corruption and inexperience ruin States; virtue and talents preserve them. I begged his Majesty to accept, my resignations I delivered Into his lands the letter which con tailed the motives of this step; the 'Gag did me the honour to answer, that be would consider of It; I waked for some days for an answer; as I did !teat receive soy, took the liberty of writing a errand letter, in which I again ex:pained all my monist—ail my apprebensiOss respecting &futurity, which threatened at once his throne, his dynasty, sad the independsom of my country.— His Majesty now accepted my resignation; and was so good as to give. me, in a later written with his own band, the assurance ' ' that he would not forget my services—and that I should not lose any part of my Property, In consequence of my removal' • " Nothing further remained for me but to choose the place of my retirement. When one bee the misfortuse of being cele brated, the most inconsiderable place to which one may retire become* important. I was resolved at least, by the simplicity, the privacy. and the happiness of my domestic life, to secure myself loom calumny. The King caused an Ambanadoes place to be offered me; I pve Saxony the preference; I had been so fortunate as to approach its Sovereign; Ms unvarying integrity, which procured on the throne general love, and when he was re moved front it, esteem; was the cause of this preference. 1 o the latest day of my life I shall cherish the memory of the tad movies of goodness which I received from this Prince after my arrival is Dresden. It is particularly under misfortune that we learn duly to aepreciate the value of benevolence. I must add also, that in all the reletions tato which I came, a consequence of my mission with the Duke of Riebelleu c I have experienced every thing which a nun of honour add feeling can do, to soften an injustice which all his efforts could not prevent. It is asked why I did not, upon leaving the Ministry, enter into the Cham ber of Deputies, to which several electoral adieus, among the rest that at Paris, bad choose met. Could I have contended with advantage against the castiosally incremin acmes of re stales t Let say as read the debates of the Psmohm. and be will see what 1 might expect from this coldest. A noble minded mash Mr. D.Argensen, attempted to rase his voice to point out the causes and the authors of the troubles ht the South of France. Furious cries hindered him from proceediog, the 'rids was re,: pulsed from the tribune of the nation. " What mean could one hope in an nimbly in which the party of exaggeration gained influence, when this party,coosi. dered the most intolerable anarchy as the newsier, instrument of the restoration of order. What should one say to men who paw the strength and power of the King in violence and treason in the language of moderation ? Called to speak on the great interests of the D*ooo, what means does one possess to be heard by those, who think they have only to deliberate on the pride of some ludividuals ? What could I bare added to all that I did as Peed dent of the Government of Franee, es Minister, to urge, to con jure these violent m e n to sacrifice their perstlal vengeance to the general good, and to think only on the welfare of all : I have exhausted, in respect to them, all that can interest a friend to his country, I shall not cease to repeat to them from my exile, my last words when I was leaving Paris.—' How dare one venture to speak of the triumph of a party what the same will either fan upon or affect oil! There is no hope of our national indepen dence, no true honour except in our union.' " The encouragement which the spirit of extramigance gave to the re-actions, soon announced the intentioo to make use of them. That deputy who read a libel (ruin the Tribune, could telly give us huormation respecting the source of those emu eagerness, if he would tell when be obtained the libel, and.wbo is the anchor of it. In vain should I have reckoned as the support of the sound part of the assembly. This part possesses talents,. just views, reason, it even forms the majortty ; bat there are among it many timid men, who are swayed by the fear of drawing greater evils OD their country, by their resistance, than by their submission— sometimes they are terrified with the phantoms of our revolu tions the spring of which is destroyed—sootedmes they are threatened with the bayonet of the foreigners. • " it is absurd to suppose that any pasty could now obtain the ,esnalles assistance froui without; if particular engagements,' stronger than the general engagements of Royalty, are the conse quence.. It is no longer the Sovereigns who triumph over France. A. party then triumphs over the nation.; the civil ware have but changed place , the Ul:ra royalists are victors, and all the rest of the Freak the vanquished. " What advantage could be derived front giving me the Go vernment to a party ? '1 he grave would soon do* over its Government ; even terror could net loos support it ; for terra vanishes at the first glimpse of security. Another panty Would come in in its turn, and would prevail; what Mould. become of • France, what of Europe, if we were torn' by dangling partes, and transitory victories of parties? • " Where in such a state of things should we find the tratloti ? There is no more any general interest, all the bands of social existence are dissolved , the bean of the State Is'wounded; there is no more' any thing but the shadow' of a country. Remind England, my Lord, that it owes only to the surroundinit ocean, its safety froth our storms and disorden, which were common to all nations; let it remember, that the ocean was on the point of being passed. Our happiness would be more advantivues to it than our misery. But it will be too late to prevent it, when we are beat down under it. • " I willingly behold the image and emblems of the Sovereigns to whom our fate Is now convened, in that diversity which the ancient mythology represented with two faces--the one turned to the past, the other to the future. The Sovereigns will nut miss a second time their generous object; oqr revolutions Will no more disturb Europe; we shall gain the guarantee of our inde pendesce., because we shall guarantee to omelets our repose.— Far from me be the thought that there lea party which will make itself the dreadful instrument of the destructive oCtrance.. • " I do rbt refuse to my enemies the justice which:[ owe to all men. Party spirit is more blamed than criminal, Those' who have brought the monarchy to the brink of the precipice fancy, perhaps, that they have saved It; their ignorance in matters of Government is a discovery they li,ve.yet to make. • 66 In bum= affairs, people often suffer themselves to be led into the most lamentable excesses, by dames that they have conies crated.
