Danpltiny, pr. sent a danger of a different kind. A mot., opposi-
tion to the government of the Royal Dynasty is there nearly ge.
neral. Twice invaded by foreigners, these departments nave suf=
fered more than the rest ; they had rather gained than lo." by the
Continental commerce : the extent of their national donnsi:.s made
them still more dread the presentations of the ancient p.•,.essor.,
it was also in these proviticcs that some errors of the toiet., Mini`.
tern of the King, being judged with precipitation. Oiled• excited
alarm. It was there. that the war was most national.

_
In this view I have only inserted the most prevailing -diniore,
some of which are not withont mixture. The Noble nd the
Clergy, La Vendee exeepted, have no where any party. • France
revolts at the excesses committed in the South. by th..se Is that
exclusively call themselves Royal; even their existenets, • a state
of rebellion. Fanaticism, civil war, and the counter.sey,: Moats-
sentiment excite horror every where. Scarcely a ttlitlir • .)f file
French nation can be found who are willing to reveri ti, I:se old
regime, and scarcely a fifth part who ate heartily _devoted legiti.
mate authority. This will not prevent the great majority tt nit) sub.
miffing sincerely to your Majesty in your capiroily of C.iJier of the .
State. That submission Will be lasting; in the course of joie it
will even noisome the character of love rend confidence, if Fraiige. be •
constantly governed by litrerel ideas. eminently constitutional, and
completely national.
On the supposition of civil war, the. R. y,iti:t.•wosilil reign ahso.

Mists would be-found. opposed to the, great . mass of the, ial,rple.
There would be sufficient means of forming a Royal army, how
long wriald itsiotairie be maintained, or even the flikdity o that r
army preserved, which had been so much .reckoned upon l'iitre
are besides a sufficient number of ancient Noble's, or or partis..is of '
the Court in every department, to establish there au appearsote of• -
public opinions,• and, even a certain majority in the.Electeral Col., ,
legea. it must be inferrekl that the party of the Noblesse is still of
some importance, when the public functionaries employ all the ef. •
forts of etoveniment to support them; is it deprive(' of that sup.
port a the. population absorbs it; some serious erfors on .1.4 subject
might eirpulate round the throne, and for this reason I endeavour to •
excite attention to them. I shall havre other "eCcasiohe to crharac•
terise the public feeliwg : I ought. first to speak of the army.
Various motives have prodaced the submission of the army ; in
some this submission ii a setwere'retunivio: their duty to the King.;
in many others it is the effect of necessity; in the greater rimier it
is a sacrifice made to the repose of France. It is How wounded and
humiliated at beholding its dismemberment and dismissal. That
army has been employed in invasion and conquest; rekore is re.
pugnant to it; ambition unbounded by fortune had rendered it et.
terprisinA and though it had no longer at its head as Genera that
isarlike Chief of the State, it could not but long remember its a.leient
statxiards. Ought we to strive to place it on hartiumious terms
with the other armies of Europe by giving it modest notions, amoral
and monarchial point of honour, a stiff of religion for legitio.acy ?
Or indeed was it indispensably necessary to diaband• them? This
question ought not to be decided by the laws of rigorous jostle
should rather consult the art of gOveining the future and the .t asou
of state.

The fewer old officers and soldiers there.remain in the new.corrs
about to be formed, the more disiontent and sedition will he tumid
in the midst of the people. It with require a long time befis• 0 the •
object is accomplisbed.ot estranging a new spiv from. the jut Tests
of the old. The civil disturbances will become much more a i ions
in more stormy eiessoesits, and if the clash of the various feed.... be
survived,
,every thing will be in a state of preparation for . riga
war: under the most favourable supposition, the disbanding a' the
army will have the effect of recruiting the brigands, and it is j 'pos.
sible not to discover a cause of terror in the mere tact of throwing
upon an electric population already so much disturbrd, '200,000 men
connected with so many families, who are thus placed in opoo,ition
to the Government. No authority could withstand such an inns
mense coalition of hatred, passion, ond of shattered said dies
cotilant interests.
