The order of tliedey summoned to the traome the Reptoter of the Committee on Personal Liberty. M. DE 5 EEEE ......" We pre ent you with the result of the ex.tmin.t4iaq made by yourcentral Commetee of the plan of Law relative to Personal Liberty. " Nations the most free have recognised the neceee sky of a temporary suspension, in certain cases, of the course of the common laws, either by creating extraordieary Magistre:eo or by confiding to the ordinary Magistrates extraordinary powers. " Ot all Or remedies to which k is possible to have recourse in tines Of difficulty, that which the experience of a neighbouring people has proved to be the least datieeretis to public liberty, the least sus ceptible of degener..ting into tyreeny, is eithour con tradiction the suspension of those judicial forms which protect personal liberty. " At the first sight this assertion might :wear paradoxical, it is 110 notiirel to be alarmed whatever personal liberty (the mast important of necessities,. and in favoter of which every kind of liberty seems to have been stipulated) becomes endangered. But when we consider that this measure leaves untouched ail the other guarantees granted by a Constitutional earivisaironesiteethee its object is limited to tilosestlS pected of those greit aunts that messes, to mooe at the very heart of the while seciety ; that its ere cation is confided to responsible Ministers—to Mini sters who could not abuse it without fiefeiting the confidence of the station and the Chambers ; when we consider this, we may conclude on the practica bility of securing the safety of all by violating the liberty of a few, and that a partial Abuse of these laws must be extremely rare—a general abuse inv.' possible. It is not that we &bile, in appreciating its effects, to lessen in your eyes the sacrifices requited of you. The sacrifice is great, and weighty reasons alone ought to influence your decision. The Royal Legislator who tounded our liberties has made re "vet for personal liberty one of the first articles of that Charter of which you are the coneeituted guar dians. In his goodness he has emoted the nnticipa- Lion of erg case wherein the suspension of this gua rantee might become necessary. But if a people, whose analogous institutions are consecrated by time —whose Government has not for a century and a half experienced any internal disturbance; if this people has frequently perceived the necessity of re curring to this suspension, could we reasonably hope —we who have hardly escaped so many storms—we who are only giving birth to liberty;—could we flatter ourselves to be spared this necessity which our neighbour. had frequently anticipated ? Events, too distressing, have decided this question, and the law of the 29th of October, 1815, that suspended the judicial farms that protect personal liberty, anticipat ed its own renewal. This renewal is now required of you, but with some important limitations, and in disputable ameliorations in the proposed law. to Alter ehat I have now said, I migio shew, that the question, how far necessity commands, or pru dence suggests, this law for strengthening the throne, and securing . the safety of France, is no longer a question of principle, but of tact, for the enlightened friends of the King and country: Here, Gentlemen, it is permitted us to stop, to allow each of you to probe the grievoes wounds of the country, to weigh in the calm of his conscience s or on his own responsibility, the measure of our sacrifices. At least you will comprehend, that we hesitate, between the duty of not weakening the just opinion of a real amelioration in the condition of the State, and om tear of delivering you up to a security that might compromise that amelioration itself. In confining ourselves to pointing out the motives of our determination, you must not forget, that we in- 1 trust their developement to your own meditations and your patriotism. " In 1814, the King caused a legal and mild Go. vernment to succeed to a severe, civil, and military despotism. Franco received the double blessing of' the Charter and peace with the most lively gratitude.' But the Charter and peace, equally necessary to put an end to our deplorable revolutions, were insoffi. ciens, by their unAssilled influence, to efface alrthe 'traces of them, or to prevent for ever their return. " The people, long agitated and oppressed, re extraordinary mean's. These means acre 7 , 4 en to it by the Chambers; and since that meet; it !.as heed able te struggle against obtacles, to Infiniti. to re establish order its the diEerent derritnents of the skate. For same months past particularly, its mare% more firm, has made security to re-enter people's minds; has placed t!,ete a principle of confidence; sentiments of stability: The happy conc,rd which daily establishes itself Sewn and make, between Cie Government and the Chambers, Will sensibly itierease these happy resolts: " But is ail done Is the whole consolidated? Will every thing be, In the course of this Session, in a state to triable to wit' iraw from the Govern ment any of the means which have contributed to the preservation of the common weal, to place it in a better situation d It is difficult to affirm it. In fact, can we alrea..ty tr.-lieve, at the end of 18113, in the ° disappearance of those elements of (milks and dis lotders which were so menacing at the end of 1914- so active, so violent in 1815: CM we already be lieve in the return, in the presence of those moral powers, of those virtuous habits which render so easy the task of Go/eminent ? Has the Government at its own disposal all tint legal authority, all the nieans of mention which, in tranquil times, the other Governments of Europe possess ? " Notwithstanding the powerful examples of the Monarch and of his family, religion, like all faith, but slowly resumes its emplre : revolutionary doctrine' are, to a certain degree, blasted in public opinion. This is great deal, but the sound doctrines scarcely re-established are not yet actredited. Men's minds; shaking and floating, bale not yet a rein to restrain them. Our Courts, out Tribunals, are only in part organized. The su'pensinn of the Im,iness of this department keeps tnet:L ole in a state of unccitainty and discouragement. It expects from the law, which no doubt will be pr , ....et0e.1 to re, firmness, consi deration, and authority. " Tht Prevntal Courts, establishlner.ts of the moment, present less str..nieth that h lye lay* expected from them. P.:,:iaordinary tribunals take bai,ly in Ts ar:ce. The ,overt iitti justice, it.lscendest into inferior se•tis, has lost there some of its dignity— 'tts jtist severity. " The army, reorganised and flitlfol. is by no means nutiter. , os. A constant vigilance nititt fief it clear of into who would lead it astray,. The Go eel nment ass been en•if;led to 010050 alley/ its akents ; but its choices have appeared to be too exclusive & and the sprit of party, of which our Constitutions favours tlve play, has "often car=ted its.aAiniastrstors away froth the of wisdom which the Government bad traced nut for them. " In all the public services, the reduction of ter ritory, the necessity t,f eccnnmy, pnlitichl canes, have toc4ght about numernus discharg , n. A At:at number of persons remain without employment. :sod consequently discontented. This nisconteitt and ne cessary preferences !oment Oa leaven of disctrd, which has prerred muong us the many changes that have happened within these five-anal-twenty years. They reanimate those ardent pasait na which foreign war no longer occupies abroad ; which an non scsyt:e no longer restrains at home. In Fite, two weighty circumstances complicate and embarrass our siznatien in an afflicting manner. The first is the result of the arrangements the Treaty of the 20th November. The Second is the failure of a great part of the harvest of the year, from the intemperature of tic season. The Allied rowers have proved by their actions. even more than by tin it words, their serious intention to secure the internal repose of France, and thus unite its destioies with the common interest of Europe. They had calculated, no down, upon the abundance and the riches o , t the Qtoduce of owr soil, upon the revival of our coin. meter!, upon the growth of our industry, such as we had seen it at the end of 1814; and if these calcula tions had been realised, it is certain it would have been painful, but possible, for France, by au increase of imposts. by alienation of domains, to meet an an nual augmentation of :300 millions of expenses— V12,500,00(9 " Events have cruelly disappointed these calcula tions. French industry and commerce, like that of Europe, ate in a state of langour and stagnation. Our richest productions have absolutely failed, or are of reduced value; and the products of the first neces sity are in a state of mediocrity. " The cares of Government, and particul irly the activity of commerce, will certainly provide against all want, but will not obviate the dearness. " So far as these conjunctures deprive a Govern. meet of its natural strength, so far they furnish ali ment and pretences for injustice and malevolence. It is in the midst of these difficulties, it is to surmount 'them the Government still wishes for the assistance of a fore? of extraordinary police. Bet we must not indulge in allusion. All police is impotent and vain, if tardy,. if it be not vested with an arbitrary power - whoever would g , These reasons, pointed out to the great majoril the suspension liberty, was, in cessary evil at “ It may be the same, that found our opinion power which menaces at the moment 1 d conspire against the State. sons, Oentlemen, which we have only you, have in whole or part (It t•rt) , •l , •ct 1 why of your Committee to think that of the forms which protect personal it truth, at all times an evil, Lut a ne- this moment to prevent greater evil . e objected, perhaps, and we have sail t a part of the reasons upon which we ~ lion is of a nature to exist beyond the .41 CONTRACT FOR BLANKETS.
