1 i FRANCE. MINISTRY OE THE INTERIOR. assort OF THE MIIIISTIL Or THE INTSILIOIt TO 14 iNTIROR, RESPICTIDIG Till IMATIOICAL GUMP" NETT. 18, 1805. • Sire—The menaces of the enemies of France have excited in the bofoms of Frenchmen an univerfal emotion of indignation ; they have awakened with frefh vigour. their attachment to your auguß per. fon, their devotion to their country; the Frenchman, whom the two-fold fentiment, of love for his Prince and for his Country, has at all times rendered ca pable of fuch mighty efforts, will now more than ever experience all its influence. Among& the meafures calculated to prevent the fusers of every holds defign, and even to &Icon• Pert them at their birth, there is one which would have a peculiar effea in fecuring thefe fentiments; which, under eircumßances nearly fimilar contribu bated to the falvation of France ; which teems to be invoked by our recolleftion ; which, befides, is au thorifed by the eftablilhed Laws, or rather is Welt in exiftence, at leaß in principle,and which requires only a prompt development, and a frelli aftivity. I Speen Sire, the employment of the National Guards. Wgilft this waive army, which is itfeif, in its orga fixation and its fpirit, but a detachment from the grand national army, whila the waive army 641 be purfuing beyond our frontiers an enemy, whom it has been accußomed to behold retreating before it, whilft it (ball be penetrating into the fcenes of its part tonquefts, by routes well known to it, the National Guard will refume internally the exercife of that vi gdance, from which it had been Tome time exempt , by the repofe of our brave foldiers. It will watch over the maintenance of order and the laws; will fe- ' Owe the refpea doe to the public authorit;es, will keep guard round the Temples, the Tribunals, the Public Inflitutions; will protect the plains, private property, the workthops of lnduftry, and will maintain the fe corky neceffary for every defcription of works ; it will, in a twofold manner, contribute to the execution Of the Laws of Confer iption,by furnithing more multi plied meansof fuperintendance, and by weakening the prejudices that obtlrua them, in reviving a talk fora military life in the hearts of the youth. Eltablifhed on the bounds of the Empire, it will encourage your fol. titers to march, will fecure their retreat in safe of a reverie, will prefent an impofing barrier to the ene my. will infure to France in the • of all the chances of battles, the greateft advantage in war, that of not being compelled to wage it on its own ter ritory ; it will recal thole ancient times whet. the at trier ban, quiet by their fire fides, but ready to take the field at the call of their Prince, formed an ins more and formidable rear guard ; it will meal thefe late times, when a fimilar inßitution overthrew a Rill more powerful coalition, whilft rranee poffeired not either the fame internal forces, or the fame genius to put them in operation. It will give to public opi nion a falutary impulfe ; it will Brett teary thought to the falvation of the State. It will alto. of Welt', make an impreffion upon our enemies, as great, per haps. as our other military preparations, and theforee that it will have created, though yet iu repofe, will even be equivalent to aaive troops. Why should their Prince and their Country have iefs claims now than at other periods, on the affec tion of Frenchmen ? Why (hould not gratitude for teal benefits operate as powerfully as enthufiafm, which was only the expeaation of them ? No I there is not a tingle public funftionary, whatever his em ployment or rank, that does not feel the incitement of his Eons and grandfons to this internal fervice, to be a confequence and a part of his duty, There is sot a man of property, a man in the enjoyment of any fortune, or prefiding overy any induftrious efts. blifliment, who does not feel it to be his Arft iuteteß to contribute in perfon, and by his people, to the on ly fervice that can fecure his repofe. Thole then, who have an interell in the prefervation of public or der, whole fentiments are guaranteed by their edu cation, will be the firft to form this, in reality, Garde sr Mir, upon which the Government, and the well difpofed citizens, may rely with equal fecurity. The law of the yth of January, and of the t6th of March, 1 , 90, of the lath of Oftober, and of the 3d of August, 1791, and of the 24th of May, year sd, have never been repealed, and exifi in all their force ; they have regulated the organization of the National Guards, their . defcription of fervice, their connexion with the Civil Authorities ; they have oven provided for the cafe, in which their co-opera tion might be necell'ary for the defence of the Rate.— Your Majefty in perfon has (hewn what fentiments you entertained refpcaing this inßitution, when on the occafion of your Coronation you affembled the Deputies of all the National Guards, when you pre tented them with colours. There colours, received with tranfport, preferved in all the departments, will new be unfurled, and become the banners of pa triotifm and of honour. There are, however, in the details of organization, eflabliflied by theft laws, two objeas, which appear to me to call for, at the pre fent period. particular attention and effential modifi cations. The WI is the appointment of Officers.— In March lati I laid before your Majefty Come obfer- Vations on this fubjea ; I reminded you that the Na tional Guards wanted Officers alma} univerf4lly ; I befought your Maj efty to take notice, that the exill ing form of our eilablifliments, that the state of pubs lit opinion, as well as the intereßs of fubordination, • longer warranted the admidlon of that mode of moo, which bad been introduced at a period, all the ideas of democracy were carried to ea t propofed to your Majefty to decree, that the of the National Guard fnould be appointed Head of the State, like thofe of the aaive at, and receive from a hero, who could diftinguith valiant, their commiffion and their title. fecond objea relates to the formation of the des of the ,Grenadiers and Chaffeurs, which dated by the laws of the 18th of Oftober and (uly, 'year 3d. It (hews on one band, that there the Nationd Guard, compored of citizens, • lefs difengaged or employed, more or lefs to the fervice, fume detachments eailly clic , whore motions may be always, prompt; the iyment of which might be always lure, whole may be tried ; in a word Tome choice detach , that might be ready on the &II emergency. other hand, it purports to relieve as much as trom a painful fervice, which is even expen courequence of the interruption of labour, lie opmn no lunge pominan 'then all eeA; Ii Officers t l; by the guy, and the valia The fi eompani is regula ,4th Jul are in tl snore or airpored potable, employs !pint ma ments, On the poffible, Ave, in thelbellti dafs of toad?. had ata hechca, for rather anaaive &nice, on any fobjeas but thee, who have the time, the means, the inclination, to' give themtelves up to it, and who eonfequeutly are induced to it by a more lively intereit. The compa nies of Grenadiers and Chaffeurs compoled of fob jeas,who equip theintelves at their own ezpence, who (hall offer themfelves from a voluntary devo tion, or who (ball be the objets of an honourable choice, appear to me to be liked to the accomplith• ment of this two-fold end. In fine, Sire, your intention no doobt will be, that the National Guards than be folely employed for the maintenance of internal order, for the fecurity of places, and for the defence of the frontiers and of the vistas. Abroad, the alive armies, conduOed by yourfelf, have no need of this fupport. The cer. tainty of not being removed from their families will infpire a greater ardour, a more conllant atten dance on the fervice of this guard ; and the pretence of their hearths reminding the citizens, who (hall compote it, of the interells fur which they are arm ed, will make their fervice more efficacious, their devotion more fpirited. The Public Funaionaries poifdfing at prefent an elevated rank in the Rate, and having acquired it by former and glorious military tervices--thefe Functionaries bearing a name dear to French foldiers, and invefted with a charafter which our laws render venerable—placed by your Maielly at the head of the National Guards, would give them a wife direaiun, and more than any thing tile would ihew, by appearing at their head, in what fpirit they had been ellablithed, and with what (pink they ought to be animated, (Signed) CiaIUAGaT.
