I have °Waived the assurance that it was the firm detersoinatiinof bit lkiajesty to favour industry, and to reeal among ns that impartial liberty of coinnerce which, prior to 1700, had diffused comfort among all the laborious classes. Your harvests shall cease to be ruinous ; the colonies, too long separated from the mother country. shall be restored to yon ; the sea, which had become well nigh useless to you, is about to bring hack friend. fy &leg into your port. The laborious artisan will uo longer lie idle; and the mariner, restored to his noble profession, is about to navigate the seas anew, to purchase repose for his old age, and to bequeath his experience to his sons. The husband of the danghter of Louis Xl7l, is within yGor walls: he himself will stlon ommunicate to you the expression of the sentiments which arimate him, and of those of the Monarch whose representative and interpreter he is. The hope of days of happitiess which he assures to us has supported my strength. I have no need to invite yon to concord. Do not ail one wishes tend to the same object—the deatrnction of the tyranny under whicit we have all equally groaned ? lint each of us most concur thereto with as notch of order as ardour. Amsto dam did not wait fi,r the presence of her deliverers, to declare herself, and te•established the old government, the only ore • capable of restoring her commerce and her prosperity : it was to the patriotism of merchants that the Stadtholder owed his re•estalkshment, and 11w prompt creation of the army. which defends the liberty of Yon will have been the first to give a similar example to France. The Oily and advantage which our city shall thence derive, will render it for ever famous and fortunate tliottg Evety thing permits us tp hope, that to the excess of calamities three times se much de iced by wisdom are about to sttecee , :, whew the rivalries of nations shall ecii , e ; and perhaps it was reser steel to the great Captain who has already merited the title of deliverer of nation% to attach his glom ions name to an epc..r.h so happily won derful. Snch, fellow-citizens, are the motives, the hop es, which have guided . my conduct anti have determined me, if necessary, to sacrifice my life for you. God is my witness, that 1 have had nothing in view but the liappineior of our country. Viva LE Rot ! The Mayor, LYNCH, At Bordeaux, in the 1-Totale de Ville, March 12, 1814.

Religion shall be restored to its lustre—Property to the security which is its due. Nothing shall disturb the unanimity which must unite all Frenchmen ; and the King, together with his fa mily, setting the example of sactifices, shall osatbiue the rights and wishes of all in mutual harmony.
