Least of Kings.

Vroclaim the wish of the immense majority
bf the French; that your negotiators may not hear
It said, that France desires a cannter-revolutiOn.
" Recollect that in 1814, when turope, id
160 :rte. ptecipitated Napoleon from the throne,
'the initiative which one city took in, the events
Made a Government to be imposed upon you,
which Russia and Austria had not thought of.
" ft is not doubtful that an invisible hand 'en."
Iteavours to influence the negotiation of your Am-
bassadors ; that mvisible hand has weighed upon
the interests of Europe ; it has found them con-
trary to those of the faction which it serves ; it
knows that Europe can have no interest to impose
'upon you a government similar to that with which
Ferdinand VII. oppresses Spain; it knows that
Austria- and Russia may still pl'onounce for France;
bun that parricidal -liand ivis-hes, by a system of •
tliscunragement, falsehood; and ambiguity, to
tender It impossible for you to-await the result of
your negociations.
- "Sou hare been told that yon bad no longer
army, ,and•that all 'Was lost.; that your sol-
diers,. discouraged-, were disbanding, and would-
•fig:lt no longer: these reports were pot into the
mouths of certain Generals tO'give them weight -;
the report of your colleagues-proves that all this.
is false. •

" You have seen told that 100,000 enemies
'were advancing against you by forced marches;
this also is false. Even at the commencement of
the tatioraign, the English and Prussian armies
were not 'estimated at more, and the battles of
I?leurus and Waterloo cannot have increased their
strength !
" Those who are the least acquainted with the
art of war, are aware that they are only the heads
of columns which now menace Paris. Your forces
are al least equal to those opposed to you, and
would be double, if you added to them the fede-
' rates and the sound part of the national guards.
With such elements, commanded by the defender
of Haniburgh, can you not await, and save the
glory of the French name ? Far from me be the
idea of seeing Paris exposed to the horrors of a
defence; but we MUSE not assume a suppliant at-
titude when there are still men who know how to
+combat, who can and will do so. We must not,
hesidrs, look upon Paris as all France.
" Let us not conceal, Gentlemen, what would
'Le the situation of France, •if they succeeded in
imposing upon you the Bourbon family.. The
Lead of that family, however willing to do_good,
could not even effect it ; the multitude of creatures
'dot accompany him would necessarily hold back
his hands. -Promises would be given you, but
would not be kept. All who for these 25 years
have foughtfor lrherty, those in particular who
have • combated latterly, would be considered as
rebels; their success, .their misfortunes, would
Le. passports to proscription. The purchasers of
national property, for Ming so large a mass of the
nation, would-be violently despoiled. The pea-
sants woald be oppressed by the petty lords. Do
our enemies suppose, then, that the men of the
revc.hition are cowards.? They have placed their
hopes in Royal Vendees, and they do not consider
that there will he patriotic Vendies. Do they
suppose that the hitter can be kept down by the
presence of foreign troops ? Ah ! Gentlemen,
those who like ourselves were garnisaires
.in Spain,
know that the presence of the hest garrisons is
insufficient to subjugate a people."
He concluded with moving, that five Repre-
sentatives be constantly with the armies, not to
interfere with the military movements, but that
the world might see that they knew nothing more
glorious than to die forthe country. .
On the motion of M. Gorree, the above speech
was. ordered to be printed, sent to the depart-
ments and armies, and posted in Paris.
• M. Jacotor then appeared at the tribune, in the
came of the Committee charged to draw up an
address to the French people. He stated, that the
Committee unanimously adopted the following:—
. " Frenchmen,—The Foreign Powers proclaim-
ed, in the face of Europe, that they were only
armed against Napoleon : that they wished to re-
spect our independence, and the right- which be-
longs to every nation to choose the Government
suititble to its manners and its interests.
" Napoleon is no longer the Chief of the State;
be has renounced the throne, and his abdication
has been accepted by your Representatives. He
is .removed front us. His Son is called to the em-
pire by the Constitutions of the State. The co-
alesced Sovereigns know that. The war ought
then to be terminated, if the promises of Kings
be not vain.

" However, while Plenipotentiaries. have been
sent to the Allied Powers to treat for peace in the
tine of France, the• Generals of two of these
powers have rtfused any suspension of arms. Their
troops have hastened their march, under the fa-
vour of a moment of trouble and hesitation. They
atc at the.gates of the capital without any com-
munication having informed us for what object the
war is continued.

Our plenipotentiaries will soon declare
wlte-
tlher we must renounce peace. In the mean time
re.sir,tance is as necessary as. legitimate ; and lin-
-I,aulty, in requiring an account of the blood use-
iessi) shed, will not accuse those brave men who
of, ly combat to repel from their homes the scourges
of war, murder, and pillage—to defend with iheir
lives the cause of liberty, and of that•iudepend-
enee, the itnprescriptible right of which has been
g,,„urced to them even by the manifestoes of
their enemies.
• Amiust these grave_circumstances, your Re-
presentatives cannot forget that they-
were, not
chosen to stipulate tor the interests of any party
whatever, but fur the whole nation. Every act
of slrealiness, while dishonouring them, would
Only serve to compromise, during a long period,
tf,e lutnre tranquillity of France. In. the mean
line, then, that the Government is employing all
tlle, means for obtaining a solid peace, what more
advantageous to the nation can be done, than to
