The Emperor has honed the following pro-
clamation addressed to the Arabs S-" Trance
came to Algeria in 1830, not to destroy
the Arab nationality, but to liberate the
people from ages of oppression. Neverthe-
less, you have fought against your liberators.
I honour your sentiment. of warlike dignity, but
God has decided. Recognise the decrees of Provi-
dence. Like yourselves, our ancestors courageously
resisted, and yet front their defeat dates their
regeneration. Your prophet says God gives power
to whomsoever he will. I come to exercise
power in your interest. I have irrevocably
assured to you the proprietorship of the land
you occupy. I have honoured your chiefs and re-
spected your religion. I wish to increase your well-
being. Tell your mistaken brethren that two
millions of Arabs cannot resist forty millions of
Frenchmen. I thank the great majority for their
fidelity. Goeat recollections and libwerfil interests
already unite you to the mother country, and a
military confraternity has been formed in the
Crimea, Italy, China, and Mexico. Place confi-
dence, then, hi your destinies, almost united with
those of France, and acknowledge, with the XOtlfi,
