Sire,—.The Senate come to-offer to lonr Im-
perial. Majesty the tribute of its attachment and:
gratitude for the last coinrhunications which- ft
received by the medium of. its committee. tout
Majesty adheres to the proposals 67en of yonr
+enemies) which have been transmitted by one of
saf your Ministets:iff Germany What stron.g4er
pledge could you give of your sincere desire of
peace ?

"Your Majesty certainly believes that power is
strengthened by beimg limited, and that the art of
favouring the happiness of the people is the chief
policy of Kings. The Senate thanks you for it in.
the name of the French people.
" It is also in the name of this same people,
that we thank you, for all the legitimate wears
of defence which ,your virisdom may take
,to en-
sure peace.

" The enemy has invaded our territory. IXe
designs to penetrateto the centre of our provinces.
The French, u:iited in sentiment and interest-un-
der a-chietlike you, will not suffer their energy to
be cast down.

" Empires, like individuals, have their clays of
mourning and of prosperity ; it is in great exi-
gencies that great nations chew themselves.
•"No : the enemy shall-not ,tear asunder this
beautiful, and noble France, which for these four-
teen centries has maintained itself with glory
through such diversities of fortune ; and which,
for the interest of the neighbouring nations them-
selves, can always throw a considerable weight
into the balance .of ,Europe. We have for
pledges your heroic firmness, and the national
honour.

We will fight for our dour country, between
the tombs of our fathers and the cradles of ou

infants.

" Sire, obtain peace by a list effort worthy of
yourself, and of the French ;, and let your hand
so often, victorious, drop your arras, after having
signet! the repose of the wOrlit.

4-4 This, Sire, is the wish of France ; the wish
of the Senate ; this is the wish and Want of the

b mat; race."

His Majesty replied—

'r I am sensible to the sentiinents which you
SsinsilstVetiAr ?lavevia—uzieTto- be laid before
you, what I do for the sake of peace. 'I will
mlk,e, without regret, the sacrifices implied by the
preliminary basis which the enemy has proposed,
.and which I have accepted ; my life has but one
oliject, the happiness of the French. •

Mean thug tearn, Alsace, Franche Comt4,
are invaded. The'cries of these parts of my fa.:
roily rend my heart. I call upon the French to
succour the French. I call upon the French of
Paris, of Bretagne, of Normandy, of Champagne,
and of the other departments, to the succour of
their brethren. Shall we forsake them in their
distress ? Peace, and the deliverance of our terri-

, tory, ought to be out rallying cry. At the sight
of all this nation in arms, the enemy will fly, or
will sign peace on the basis which he himself pro-
posed. The question is now no more, to recover
te conquests we have made."
