A Legislator of antiquity, celebrated for his wisdom, Solon, placed, alter long convulsions, on the day Of the return of order, reconciliation, and the,public peace, under;the guarantee and pro•' tection of Heaven ; I recommend this example,' my Lord, to the King for his imitation I appeal to your testimony, the weight of which lies as much in your character as in your reputation. The evils were great. It was necessary not to be deceived respecting the remedies : our welfare, our social existence, depended on it : my voice Was drowned by that of the passions ; the :councils of moderation were represented as a snort.; and senseless men, in the wanderings of th - eie derst endings, calumniated at once my administra tion under the Republic, under Napoleon, and un der Louis XVIII. I should unwillingly occupy Euro - pe with my long and laborious administration, if it were not connected. with the knowledge of the truth. I shall represent facts in order and unsophisticated ; many are unknown, others disfigured ; 1 shall ad duet: all. the causes of our great events : I have seen close at hand the secret sprogs' which set the passions in motion ; I shall explain that revo lution by which France was chanpied from an an cient monarchy into a republic, became then the empire of Napoleon, and then the kingdom of the Bourbons. • While I ant employed on this most important work (for it shall serve as materi.ils for history), I feel it necessary for myself to believe that it will ho regarded as a new proof of my loVe of toy country. Lord, time flies, and I know not whe ther things tu:iy not' have changed before my Me rcady. Meantime I will comply wici the Of ,those whO urgently desire 'that I would enlightc.i (public) opinion uptin . relations u‘ltich are per,sonal to me, and which have been strangely • disfigured. Nobody can better do justice to my sentiment's and orinviples than your 4orthitiip.— From the I9th of June, the day on which I ball first the honour of corresponding with you, till the moment that l left Paris, ,try whole political .conduct lies open before your eyes, I know', my Lord, that yoh, - on all occasions, inlemnly and lately do me the justice which 1 invoke; it is for that very reason ,that I take the liberty of -addressing to you the account I mean to give, that you may find in it new anus for my detence. I am by no means afraid of increasing yourclalms to my gratitude ; I feel that my heart is rich enough to satisfy Cheta. The circumstances respecting which informa- tion is desired relate, Ist, to the tetorn of the King ; 2d, to my acceptapce of the,Ministry of Police ; 3d, to the orditnince of the 24th of July.; Jtud 4th, to my. niihsiOn to Dresden, and the tir.» cinnstances which preven!edtne front entering in „to the Chamber of ,Depaties. • I' •Vresidetit.:of the French Government when the armies : of the Allied Powers were ad ,Nrittlqing against: Park. Napoleon had. abdicated, but was still at the Elysee, and desired to be as .General at the head of French army. Thii offer could not be apcepted; eleven hundred thou situd fiareign bayonets had penetrated on all sides into our territory, and we had not a hundred' thousand men under arras. The retreat - OF the mmy.was therefore resolved upon, and Napoleon invited to leave•MalMaison, to which ha had re tired,to embark for the United Statll3 : :-Ue might misinterpret my ,urgent ,representations to this -end in adversity the soul is easily accessible to suspicion but I' am at 'least certain of having served none. I had notserved him like the Cont tiers,-nor did I follo'w their example by abandOn 7 ing him with his good fortune. Nobody apiire‘ eiated more than i ilitl the 'power of genius, but at the Settle time nobody was more convinced that his preSence musrplunge France into the lowest ajltysOif. misery., 1 theirefore conjured , him to•leave the continent , The French army,. mindful ,of 'its glory, did mit count. its inemies,.but burnt _with itnratience to kneastire, itself wait them; only those Who, like' you, Lard, tire aequainted %vitt, its %talon'', Lnory -.hoW to appreciate the tniirTt of the 'resig.;• nation which it showed iti the retreat: "in the reitthli crisis' in Avhicti ire wi,te, it wits, uike txcititig , Jn France penoe Wetepttch divided on the choice of t 1) Monarch : who „should locceelli NAppleiyni. ; it was tetra that reaction and vengeance might lutv the, return the liombons, People could. not - perspacle themselves 'that, a dynasty which bad' tiklifered so.nitich by the revolution could sitT cerely forgive it the evils that were fearinl . might be imaginary; but these ,are precisely must dangtrons, because4liey have tin limits, and here ate no remedies for them. ; All tho3e who, dieting the. last 28 year 3, bad acquyed in the civil or military career, considera tion, property, and reputatiun, , belield in the recal of the Bourbons a subject of cruel -lam! gloomy apprehensions : one party desired tt Foreign Prince wito„would more impartially cOnfiritt What •was estatiished ; another declared for the Regency ; but a Regency that should have governed in the name of the %vile and son of Napoleon would have given 3.00 much credit to the idea that Napoleon himself governed ; this thought exposed France and Europe to reciprocal apprehensions. A part of France named the Duke of Orleans : the per soma qualities of this Prince, the remembrance of 3ettaappe, and somt other of • the victories of the Republic with which his .early youth .•was .con neeted, ao entirely new social compact which it was natural and easy to . couclutJe with him, and his name of Bourbon,. which could not be pro nonneed in the interior, and yet might ; he advan tageously emploved . im the negociations with the foreigners—these and other causes showed in the choice of him a prospect of .repose even to those who did not find any happiness in it. Others in. sistvd on the principles of legitimacy : but they applied them falsely : this principle .is s ait% mb but a political law proper to every nation where it is received i it cooferS on every country. great ad vantages, .because •it prevents disorders and trntibles ; hut in respect to the rights of nations, his no law.

With the principl e s that !now, predorni. n a te in Europe, it would he necessary to make war upon that,.toonarch,who should. take it into 1141,1:cad to let like Napoleon ; nay, the principles ~.of legitimacy,. even considered AS merely a•.poli . tidal law of the country, is liable to intriortatkt , except inns. .Nlotttescplieit. supposes, that?the re ..let#olt-itekween 9,4iyonsty and tt people mar-be come so intolerable., that...ll.;v.low la body change', in Order to sieve the country itself. My correspondence. with the ministers of the high Allies, and with the Generals of their salutes, Avill he annexed to my memoir ; it will show how . I know how to assert the .dignity of the nation. . . There were naturally and intentionally different similes in the negociations I hoped that my proofs would give more weight to each of my demands. In however desperate a situation affairs stay be, there are still secondary points upon which one may lay hold; for in the loss of independence there are rarities gradations of misfortune. People form a very f a lse idea of tke situation in which .I was, when they reproach me with not Inkving asserted the right ot the oation to choose its Pi ince, and to fix the conditions of his power. Both questions were decided by the force of circumstances : the present lay no more within , my power; all would, have been easy had Napoleon abdicated at the field of llay. His too late removal bowed us tinder the yoke of events 1 believe that necessity ec-; quits me of all reproach. The real ditlicelty has not been properly con ceived; those who wished to remove the Hour boos imagined that the choice of Prince who was to govern Prance was but of subordinate in terest ; it ought to have beets seen that the ques tion was to be considered" in another manner. People uffitm I tamed the energetic dispositions ot the army : those who believe that, know not the disproportion of our strength t, new miracles of valour would have served but to risk the flower of our army, and we should at the same.tinw have exposed the capital to all the•terrors of an armed .invasunt : the greatest danger to a country is the absolution of all social bonds, which destroys at the same tune public and private prosperity, and leaves no hope and no future (prospect.) Amidst thiCconflict of opinions, Louis XVIII. was approaching Paris ; wherever the foreign armies Were lit wiv , proclaimed. It was hence to be foreseen, that the same :spirit would protluc ct the_-same appearance in the capital. The King teas at 6t. Denys whet' I had the first conference with your Lordship.
