The se duction of prosperity is not the danger which threatens us noW. It is under the CautCne Forks- that foreigners wish to . • make pass ! The justice of our cause, the public spirit of the nation, and the courage of the army, are powerful 'reasons for hop ing success , but should we hare reverses, then especially I shall delight to, see cared forth all the energy of this great ,people . ; then sh , lll I find in the Chamber of Peers, proofs of attachment to-the country and me. It is in diaicult times that great nations, lit great men, develope all the energy of•their character, and become objects of admiration top3sterity. I thank you, Gentlemen, for the sentiments you have ex pressed to mc in the name of the Chamber. ' This audience being finished, the Emperor pro ceeded to Mass. After Hass, having again taken his place on the Throne, he received a Deputation of the Chamber_ of Representatives,, headed by Connt Lanjirinais, the President, who presented the following Address : Sire,-- - The Chamber of Representatives received with pro found ernotiOnhewords tthich proceeded 'from the Throne at the solemn sifting, When your Majesty, , laying down the ex traordinary . ppwer wl ici, yOtucxe,eised,„ Rrociaimed Ike cozo- : menceni - e r nt of the Constitutional korinrchr. Th'e chief bases of that Monarchy, the . prote.:tress of liberty, equality, and the happiness of the people, have been recog-• nized by your Majesty, who, rising above all scruples, as anti cipating all wishes, has declared that the care of collecting our scattered constitutions, and of arranging them, was one of the Most important occupations reserved for the legislature. ? Faithful to its mission, the ChaMber of Deputies will perform the task thus - devolved upon it; it requests that to satisfy the public wish; as well as the wishes of your Majesty - , national deliberation should rectify, as spe'edily as possible, any thing defective or imperfect, tlfat the urgency of our situation may hare produced, or kit to exist in our constitutions considered •j as• a whole. But'at the same time, Sire, _the Chaniber of Representa tives will not chew itself less anxious to proclaim its senti ments and its principles as to the terrible contest which threatens to cover Europe with blodd. in the train of dis astrou4 events, Prance invaded, appeared for a moment lis tened to as to the establishment of a Constitution, only to see herself almost immediately subjected to altoyal Charter ereanating.from ahsoll te . power, to an ordinance of reform, always revokable in its nature, and which, not having the ex pressed assent of the people, could never be considered as obligatory on the nation. Resuming now the exercise of her rights, rallying around the tier() whom her confidence anew invests with the go vernment of the State, France is astonished and afflicted at .eing some' Sovereigns' in arms call her to account fur an internal Chanie which is the result of the national will; and iatacks neither the relations 'existing with otiker Go vernments, nor their sesurity. • Prance cannot'admit, the dis tittctions with the aid•of which the Coalesced Powers ciolea 7 your to : cloak- their aggression. To attack the Monarch of _ ..... its• choice, is to attack the independence of. the Nati - on. It, is:armed as one man to defend that independence, andlO repel, without exception, every Family an d every Pr i nce whom Men shall dare to wish to impose upon it. No am bitious project enters the thoughts of the French People; the will even of a iictorioui Prince would be insinfi eierlt to draw on the Nation beyond the limits of .its own defence : but to guard its territory, to maintain its li berty, its honour, its d'gnity, it is ready for any sacrifice. Why are we not still perrnitted to hope, Sire, that tl;ese proparations, formed perhaps by the irritation of pride, and by illusieqs which every day must weaken, may still disperse before the want of a peace necessavy to all the nations of Eur . ope, and Which shall restore to your Majesty a spouse, to the French the heir of a throne? But blood t,,as already fl owe d, the signal of combats, prepared against the indepen dence and liberty of France, has been gi‘'en in the name of a people who carry to the highest pith the enthusiasm of liberty and independence. Doubtless, among the commu nications which yo,tir Majesty promise,s us, the Chambers will find proofs of the efforts you have made to maintain the peace of the world. If all these efforts must remain us,dess, may the calamities of war fall upon those who shall have provoked them.

On this occasion, the Prince Arch-Chancellor, presieght, presented the foll Owing address Sire,,--Tours anxiety to suhmit to constitutional forms and rides, the absolute power 'with which eirbumstances and the confidence of the people 'bad.invested you; the new guarantees giyexiz:to . the rights ( - 4 the nation, the devotedness which leads you into the niidst °tate dangers the army is about to brace, . • - penetrate all hearts with profound gratitude. .The Peers of Pr'atice'come to offer your'Majesty the homage of this senti n•eut. .You have manifested 'principles, Sire, which are those of the nation : they past also be our's.

Sire, while von shall be on the frontiers, at the head of the sons of the country, the Chamber of Peers will zealously Concur in cs:cry, legislative measure which circumstances require, to compel foreigners to acknoWledge the national independince, and to Cause the 'principles, consecrated by'the will of the people, to triumph in the interior. The interest of France is inseparable from your's. Should fortane fail yourefforts, reverses, Sire, shall not weaken our perseverance, and shall redouble our attachment to you, • If •eventS correspond i‘othe justice of our cause, and to the 'hopes we arc accustomed to conceive of your genius, and of the• bratery of our armies, France desires no other fruits from them but peace. Our institutiUns guarantee to Europe that the French nation cannot be drawn on by the seductions Indep'endently of.the legislative ineasures required by the circumstnnces of the iuterior, you will probably deem it useful to empldy yourself on organic laws destined to put the Constitutio❑ in motion. They may he the object of your public labours without - any inconvenience. The sentiments expressed in your Address sufficiently de monstrate to me the attachment of the Chamber to my pee son, and all the patriotism with which it Is animated. In all aflldrs my march shall be str.►i;;ht forward and firm: Assi4 me to save the country. First representative of the people, I have contracted the en;;agement, which I renew, of employ ing in more tranquil times, all the prerogatives of the Crown, the little experience I have required, in seconding you its the amelioratiutt of our Constitutions'.
