People of Bordeant ! I have °Waived the assurance that it was
the firm detersoinatiinof bit lkiajesty to favour industry, and to
reeal among ns that impartial liberty of coinnerce which, prior to
1700, had diffused comfort among all the laborious classes. Your
harvests shall cease to be ruinous ; the colonies, too long separated
from the mother country. shall be restored to yon ; the sea, which
had become well nigh useless to you, is about to bring hack friend.
fy &leg into your port. The laborious artisan will uo longer lie idle;
and the mariner, restored to his noble profession, is about to navigate
the seas anew, to purchase repose for his old age, and to bequeath
his experience to his sons.
The husband of the danghter of Louis Xl7l, is within yGor
walls: he himself will stlon ommunicate to you the expression of
the sentiments which arimate him, and of those of the Monarch
whose representative and interpreter he is.
The hope of days of happitiess which he assures to us has supported
my strength.
I have no need to invite yon to concord. Do not ail one wishes

we have all equally groaned ? lint each of us most concur thereto
with as notch of order as ardour. Amsto dam did not wait fi,r the

PROCLAMATION ON TILE PART by' TIE KING.
" Tte Marquis de Chabannes, first Aide-de Cann of The King, fur-
nished with full powers in the Provinces of the North.
" Frenchmen ! the moment of your deliverance approaches : your
King, accompanied try the Daughter of Louis XVI. and followecl by
the Prince of Conde, and the father of the Duke D'Engien, is abut
to appear among you ; Monsieur, the Brother of Luis XVIII, and
his illustrious Sons, have already preceded him in the East, south,
and West of France ; they make ktioa it the paternal views of your
King, and guarantee to you in his name, the restoration of happiness
and peace, under a govertuncut which shall be tthe protector of the
laws and of public freedom.
66 The cry of rive le Roi, so dear to our forefathers, rises on all
sides, and re-eehoes in all hearts ! The White nag waves over you;
towns. It makes known to the inhabitaats the return of order, the
revival of commerce, the security of families, the union of Frenchmen.
" Ye shall no longer have to dread war, the conscription, the odiou*
grievance of the consolialated duties ; every thing that causes the mi•
sery of the Nation, shall cease with the existeuce of the ripts4st.
" The King will secure to the Imperial Guard, and all the'Ciene-
rals, 'Officers, subalterns, and privites, who shall join his cause, the
enjoyment of their rank, pay, and enzolumeats; and to all Magi-
strates. whether admioi,trat;ve or judicial, who shall declare fn. him,
the enjoyMent of their posts : he will honourably reward those who
do him service. Religion shall be restored to its lustre—Property to
the security which is its due. Nothing shall disturb the unanimity
which must unite all Frenchmen ; and the King, together with his fa-
mily, setting the example of sactifices, shall osatbiue the rights
and wishes of all in mutual harmony.
" Freuchmer. ! such is the counter-revolution which mutt be effect-
ed for your welfare and the tranquillity of the world. All Europe is
zealous fur the restoration of lawful Sovereigns ; should you be the
only nation who wish to live under the West debasing tyranny ?—Vive
le Rea !
