This Hate of things cannot exist in
France without involving all the surroun
ding powers in one common danger,
without giving them the right, without
imprefling upon-them as a duty, to Hop
the progress of an evil which exift# only
by thefucceffive violation of law and pro.
perty,atrd which attacks the fundamental
pincipies by which mankind are united
in the bonds of civil society. His msjefty
by no means disputes the rightof France
to reform its laws. It never would have
been his wish to employ the influence of
external force * ith refpeft to the par*
ticular forms of government to beeftab
- lifted in an independent country. Nei
ther has he now that wilh, excepting so
far as such interference is become eflen
tial to the security and repole of other
powers. Under these ctrcumftances, he
demands from Fiance, and he demands
with jofliee, the termination ; of a system
of anarchy, which has no force but for
the purposes of mifchief, unable to dip
charge the primary duty of all govern
* ment, to repress the disorders, or to pun
ilh the crimes which are daily increal
ing in the interior of the country, but
disposing arbitrarily of the property
and blood of the inhabitants of France,
in order to diftorb the internal tran
quility of other nations, and to render
a l Europe the theatre of the fame crime#
and of the fame misfortunes. The King
demands that some legitimate and liable
government ftould be established, found
ed on the acknowledged principles of u
nheHai. justice, and capable of main
taining with other powers the accustom
ed relations of union and of peace
His Majesty wishes ardently to be en
abled to treat for the re-establishment of
general tranquility with such a govern
ment, exo rciftag a legal and permanent
authority, animated with the wish for
‘general tranquility, and pofletfing pow

compel him to relirqoifb that frieudly
and pacific system which he had adop
ted. The moment at length arrived
when his Majesty few' that it was ne
ccflary for him not only to defend his
own rights and those of his allies, not
only to repel the unjust aggreflion which
l e had recently experienced, but that
ail the dearest interests of his people
imposed upon him a duty still more im
portant, that of exerting his assorts for
the preservation of civil society itfelf, as
happily eR-biiihed among the nations of
Europe.
The designs which had been profef
fed pf reforming the abuses of the gov
ernment of France, of eftabliihing per
sonal fiber:y and the rights of property
do a solid foundation, of securing to an
extensive and populous country the bene
fit of a wife legislation, and an equit
able and mild administration of its laws;
all thefe.falutary views have unfortunately
vanished. Tn their place has succeeded a
system, deftruftive of all public order,
maintained by proscriptions, exiles, and
confifcations without number, by arbi
trary:mprifonments,by maflacres,which
cannot be remembered without horror,
and at length, by the execrable murder
of a just and beneficent fovreign, and of
the illustrious princess, who with an un
shaken firmnefs, has shared all the mif
fortunes of her royal confort,hisprotraft
ed fufferings, his cruel captivity, his
.ignominious death. The inhabitants of
that unfortunate country, so long flatter
ed by promises of happiness, renewed at
the period of every frefh crime,have found
themselves plunged into an abyss of unex
ampled calamities; and neighbouring
nations, inflead of deriving a new Securi
ty or the maintenance of general tran
quility from the establishment of a wife
and moderate government, have been
expofedto the repeated attacks of a fero
clous anarchy, the natural and neceflary
enemy of all public order. They have
had to encounter adls of aggreflion With
out pretext, open violations of*all trea
ties, unprovoked declaration of war ; in
a word, whatever corruption intrigue,
or violence could effed for the purpose
so openly avowed of subverting all the
institutions of society, and of extending
over all the nations of Europe that con
fufion which has produced the misery
of France.
conditions not fnch as the expenses, the
rifques, and the facrifices of the war
might juftily, but such as his Majesty
thinks himfeif under the indifpenfible
neceiiity of requiring with a view to
these considerations, and still more to
that of his own security, atfd Os the fu
ture tranquility of Europe.
His Majesty desires nothing more sin
cerely than thus to terminate a war
which he in vain endeavoured to avoid,
and all the calamities of which, as now
experienced by France, are to be attri.
buted only to the ambition, the perfdy,
and the violence of those whole crimes
have involved their own country in mise
ry, and disgraced all civilized nations.
As his Majesty has hitherto been com
pelled to carry on a war against the
people of France, colleftively, co treat
as enemies all those, who differ prop
erty and blood to be lavished in support
of an onjuft aggression, his Msjefty
would seize with infinite fatisfaftion on
the opportun ty of making exceptions in
favour of the well disposed inhabitants
of other parts of France,- -as he has al
ready done with relpedl to those of Tou
lon. ■ ' , . ....
The King promises, on his part, the
suspension of hostilities, friennfhip, and
(as far the course of events will allow,of
which the will of man cannot dilpofe)
security and protection to all who, de
claring for a monarchist government,
(hall (hake eff the yoke of a sanguinary
anarchy, of that anarchy which has bro
ken all the molt sacred bonds of society,
diflblved all the relations of .civil life,
violated every right, confounded every
duty, which uses the name of liberty to
exercise the most cruel tyranny, to
annihilate all property, to seize on all
pofleffions, which founds its power on
the pretended consent of the people, and
itfelf caries, fire and sword through ex
tensive provinces, for having demanded
their laws, their religion, add their law-,
ful Sovereign.
z It is then in order to deliver them
selves from this uyheafd of oppreflion ;
to put an end to a system of unparalleled
crime?, and to restore, at length tran
quility to France, and security to all
Europe, that his Majesty invites the co
operation of the people of Fance.
It is for these objects that he calls up
on them to join the standard of an here
ditary monarchy, not for the purpose of
deciding, in this moment of disorder,
calamity and public danger, on all the
modifications of which this form of gov
ernment may hereafter be susceptible,
but in order to unite themselves under
the empire of laws, of morality and of
religion; and to secure at length to their
own country, external peace, domestic
tranquility, a real and genuine liberty,
a wife, moderate, and beneficent gov
ernment, and the uninterrupted enjoy
ment of all the advantages which can
contribute to the happiness and pros
perity of a great and powerful nation.
