Done in the presence of criemie.2 armies, and under foreign domination, they are merely the work of violence, they are essentially null and injurious to the na. tional hotiour, the liberty, and to the rights of the people. " The acts of adherence by individuals and unauthorised public functional ies can have neither abrogated nor supplied the consent of the people, expressed by vows solemnly required and legally emitted. " If these acts of adherence, as well as the oaths could ever have been obligatory on those who made them, they cease to be so when the Government which received them has ceased to exist. " The conduct of the citizens, who, under this Government, have served the State, cannot be blamed. They are even worthy of praise, who have profited by their position in order to defend the national interests and to oppose the spirit of re-action and counter revolntion whirls desolated France. " The Bourbons themselves constantly violated their promises: they favoured the pretensions of the faithful nobility ; they shook the sales of national property in every origin ; they prepared the re-establishment of feudal rights and tithes ; they threatened all new esittences: they decl are d war , aga i nst a ll iberal opinions; they at tacked every institution which France had acquired at the price of her blood, preferring to humiliate the nation rather than to noise themselves to her glory ; they strlpt the Legion of Honour of its en dowments and political rights; they loaded it with decorations for the purpose of degrading it ; they deprived the army and the brave soldiers of their pay, their rank, and their honour, in order to be stow them .on emigrants and revolutionary chiefs ; they wished finally to reign and oppress the people by the emigrants. " Profoundly affiTted by her humiliation and misfortunes, France. summoned by every prayer her national Governuteut, the Dynasty I united to her new institutions. " When the gmpero r approached the capital, the Bourbons in vain wished to repair, by sudden lame and tardy oaths to their con stitutionarcharter, the outrages committed against the nation and the army. 'The period of delusion was at an aid, confidence was for ever alienated. No arni was stretched forth in their defence, the nation and the army flew to meet their deliverer. " The Emperor, on reaching the Throne to which the people bad raised him, restored to the nation its most sacred rights. He only pets in force the Decrees of the Representative Assemblies, sancti oned by the:nation ; retnrns to reign by the only principle of legiti macy which France has acknowledged and consecrated for 25 years. anti to 'which all the authorities were bound by oaths from which the will of the people alone could free them. " The Emperor is again called upon if) guarantee institutions, (and be has engaged to do so iu his proclamations to the Nation and , the Army), al) liberal principles, individual liberty and equality of , rights, the liberty of the press and tire abolition of censorship, the liberty of religions opinion, the voting of taxers, and, lastly by the I , representatives of the people, legally chosen, national property of °I all description, the independeree, and immutability of the tribunals, the responsibility of the Ministers and of all agents in power. " The better to consecrate the right and the obligations of the people and of the Monareli, the National constitutions are to be revised in a great assembly of representatives, already announced by the Emperor. " Until the meeting of that Great Representative Assembly, the Einpetor is to exeteise, and cause to he exercised, conformably to the constitittions - and the existing laws, the authority which was elelegated to him, of which lie could nut be deprived, which he could not abdicate withent the consent of the nation, and which the will and general battiest of the Frttnch Nation make it is duty to resume, (Signed) Count DEFERMAN, • ' REQNIAU D, de St. Jean d'Angely, (A ad the othgr Members of the Council of State.)
