COPY OF A LETTSR FROM MARSHAL THE PRINCE OF EC/E-
-MU/IL, COMMANDER-IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY OP THE LOIRE,
TO GRN. BAGENOIL, COMMANDER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
TILE MAINE AND THE LOIRE,

()acmes, July 11, ICIS.

M. GENCitAr.,—The army in quitting Paris to retire behind the
Loire, according to lice Convention of the Sd of July, had left
with the Provisional Government Commissioners, charged with
asking from it instructions in case a new Government was este-
Wished. These Commissioners, in giving an account to the arn?y
of the A-airs which have taken place je the capita) aid of the
entrance of the King, have communicated to me the overtures
which were made to them, in order to crime the army to ac-
knowledge that its union to the system of Government can alone
prevent the dissolution of the State. The Commissioners, in
their communications, give the assurance, that, under a consti-
tutional Government no re-action is to be apprehended—thet the
passions shall be mutralized—that the Ministry shall be responsible
---,hat men and principles shall be respected—that no arbitrary
dismissal shall take place, either in the army or in the other ranks
of society ; and that, in short, the army shall be treated consistent
wit% its Itanovr. These are the simple terms transmitted by the
Commiseionere. As a pledge and a proof of what they advance
they state, that Marshal St. Cyr is appointed Minister at War;
that the Duke of Otranto is Minister of Police, which office he
has accepted only upon the assurance, that the Government will
condnct itself with that spirit of wisdom and moderation of which he
ls:mself has set the example. The sentiments of the army arc well
Luown ; it has combated twenty-five years for Vranee ; often for
disputed opinions, The only reward which it requires for the
blood that it has spilt, is, that no citizen shall be molested for the
opinions which lie may have honestly entertianed, On these con-
ditroos the national interest should smite the army freely to the
King. This interest requires sacrifices, which ought to be made
ith a good grace, with a modest energy. The existing army, united
in a body, will become, should our misfortunes increase, the
entre and rellyieg point of all Frenchmen, and of the most de-
termined Rayalists. All will speedily perceive, that union and
oblivion of all dissentions can alone operate the salvation of
France ; which will be impossible if hesitation, differences of
(pinion, and individual considerations, should affect the disso-
lution of the army, either itself, or by a foreign force. Let us
unite then elosrly—let us never separate. The \Tandem's give us
ass affecting example; they have mitten to us with an offer to

41

lay aside all resentiiieni, awl to unite with us ii. the p..irio:ic
view of preventing all dismemberments and all partiloi, ~1 thd
country. Be Frenchmen—it was this sentiment, yon know, that
always was predominant in my breast, and will remain in it till try
last breath. It is on this ground I claim your coLfulencp. 1 not
sure of meriting and obScining it.

ORDER OF THE DIY.

The French army has joined Ow King. France still expects 33-
sisteince from its defender.i. Let all dissentious, all differences of
opinion cease; the interests of the country shenld unite all pare
ties; the same sentiments should animate all hearts. The King
promises to treat the army consistent I%itlt its honour; the pre.
oases of this good Prince will not be in vain ; and I am sore that
your devotion will realize what he eTpects of yon for the honour
and glory of France. The troops of the garrison and the Natiould
Guard %yin instantly hoist the white cockade, which henceforth
will be the rallying poiut of all Frenchmen, and a symbol of the
sincere and hearty union which is to reign amongst them. The
Chiefs of Corps are responsible for the execution of the Present
Order.

MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

Petersburg.h, June 17.—Tiv, following is the Ma.
nifesto published by his Imperial Majesty from Vienna:—

The sense of Religion, that rich source of national strength
which his prevailed in Russia since the eldest time, vanquished,
in the fare of the whole world, and for the deliverance of Europe,
the destructive infidelity the mischief-working corruption et'
morals—the sad deviation from the right path to which the -human
understanding is subject. This never.to-be-forgotten conquest awl
triumph, to which history furn,shes no parallel, must, in justice,
be ascribed to the generous sacrifices and heroic deed' by which the
faithful sons of our country have testified their love and devotion.
It united ail European nations in indissoluble bonds, and har-
monized all their views and prejudices, which till then had been
at variance, by directing them to the only useful olject, a desired
and durable Peace, which might be firmly established in the legal
advarftag.es granted to each Power, and on internal institutions'
protecting the welfare and independence of naticus With
heartfelt joy we now announce to our belayed subjects, hat al
conventions tending to the good of the State have been concluded,
inconformity with this principle, and the object which we propose.
It is not a vain covetousness which has induced us to seek au ex.
tention of our frontiers such a -feeling wculd have been mina.
tural in one who had taken arms to detend the conistry, brit not
to make conquests. The uncompetable sfiength of the Russian
Fanlike, founded upon religion, loyally, and prosperity, cannot he
increased by external acquisitions. The onion of far the greater
part of the -late Duchy of Wars iw tinder one sceptoo, has proved
to be absolutely necessary for the estalkslunent of a general ba•
lance of power and of order in Europe. By this measure, the
safely ofour frontiers i.l inured--a arm barrier erected against in•
