Guy-oument cannot exist without a pbysical or
without a moral fotee. The 'first • cannot suhsiSt
t,ithout the second, and both fail.. its. The
of forming .the„artny will implicitly decide
other questions; It' would lead to a general over-
throw, were it lent to be conjectured, in conse-
qnence of- this f9ytuation, that the King- had a
- design of forming an :limy against the public li-
hertr..l have already said that it "seems as if there
were two nations 'in France ; it must therefore be
peomptlr decided to conciliate them, in order to
attach 'both, without which a avar may be lighted
up which cannot be extinguished, and whatever
happens, your Majesty must at least appear to
rei,r(tvith the nation.,
We can -no longer have the services of the an- ,
cient army, it mast even change the denomina-
tions under which it has hitherto been known, in
order to break its habits ; but would it not ,he
mein!, would it not he evidently just, in diSsoly
in the corps, to take care as much as polsible of
the, interests of individuals-? The disbanding'
may he managed with prudence, and with a sort
,of family care. There would be .little danger in
the return to society of soldiers or officers, who
themselves ask the alternative of remaining in the,
.army, or of quitting it ; a proposition or invita--
tiott might he made to those who on quitting it
would stand in need of any annual pension to
make a declaration to that effect ; and others
might he invited to ask only what would he tie-
cesomy to complete their means of subsistence.--
AlL.those.wlnywould-regret too much quitting the
. only. prOfession with which they are acquainted,
might, be retained, if their fidelity can be relied
upon. •
If the Government adopts in all respects wise.
principles, it will stand in need of bat a small antr4'.4
It 'should not, however, be too notch reduced. it
would then he more easy to give it a good spirit.
Your Majesty foresees many difficulties- in dinti-
, nishing the household troops. Public opi‘ ion
witnesses with pain the employment of the Swiss ;
,the pay which is given to a foreigner is a means
,of subsistence taken from a subject of the State.
In general, and for a long time, it will he Ind's-
•pensable to reject all measures against which there
is likely to be any opposition in public opinion.
The bands of the Soto b „and of the revived Lit
Vendte', cannot be suffered to snbsist ; they most
he no longer considered hut as inditidnah ;tad
fellow-citizens. The Vendeall' corps have prin-
ciples irreconcilable trio) the tramptillityof France,
.an inveterate doctrine of absolute power, of the
spoliation of national,property, and of the re-esta-
blishment of the - ancient regime. The public
force, therefore, cannot be suffered to be in their
hands.. It would be an armed faction in the
State, which would preveth the granting of fa-
emirs and places to those who would be deserving
of them. The Government might summon to its
aid. some of the Chiefs and employ them witit
success. in restoring the countries of the West to
their accustomed order.
The organization of the moral force 'demands
that your Majesty should adopt a firm and unal-
terable resolution. 'The principle must be acted
upon, that public opinion be received !is a new
element in the art of governing, and that it must
ent en Uto all its combinat ions (18). Fiance cao
tlo
lOnger be governed but by a constitutional re-
gime) the question is no longer the extent of
power—the great question is to preserve and to
regulate power.
After this first resolution, a second must be
come to. There are two constitutional regimes
very different front each -other ; in the one the
KiNg grants the least that he can do—then every
thing becomes an obstacle, because every thing
becomes On one side or the other an object
of dispute. Several,ages were oceeepied in Eng-
land in obtaining, one after the other, its politi-
cal laws, and this Contest very often overthrew
the Stmt.. When the space given to the liberty
of a people is restrained, their first care is to for-
tify immediately what. they have obtained ; they
surround it with new works at every new danger,
and finish; by making a strong citadel. It would
he better to concede the principle at once.

In the second state -o(Constitutional regime,
there is a homogeneous and responsible Ministry .;
the. Monarch, who is the depository of all the ,
power and of all the national majesty, is placed as
it were.by means of such a Ministry in an .enclo%,
sure impenetrable to the shock of all political
agt-
tatians ; the law is equally proposed by the Cliam-
bells and the. Government, and the three branches
of the Legislature defend with the saute Care the
rights of the people and the Royal prerogatives.
The Constitutional law is formed in the same
.manner its the ordinary laws, and the basis of the
edifice is a constitution.iu which is scrupulously
included all the guarantees of liberty. •
Under these different points of cannot
dissemble, that the • new Chamber which is
about to- be formed may cause disquiettide. There
remains no means of safety if it is _not con,tito-
tional., and if the opinions of the ultra Royalists
Should prevail 091.
• - Under the relation of internal union and paci-
fication your Majesty will have great measures .to
t:lke ; all union will be utterly impossible with.
plans: of re-action. There has been ordonnanees
at exile ; your Majesty owed those acts of retires-
tiou to your own dignity,• and every one felt that .
other circumstances rendered that punishment.ne-
cessary. It is certain, however, that the Consti-
tutional party, were atraid they saw iu those first
• acts of antliority the colour of the whole rch.,,-u...as
they might have. fancied They saw its principles in
the ordonnances relative t(> the Electoral College-
s different ideas which I have had the. ho-
nour of submitting to yont Majesty differ little
from those which might have
been more easily
adoptel in 1814, and the, whole world cau judge

In 1814, the men who now agit.-ite Its xvi,lied
also to strike the past, dreaming neither of the
present nor the future. Let us dare to that
the past has never been of any consideration
.siuoug.At great Princes or great Statesmen, except
,to afford lessons. The present and the future are
the only cares of Government. It is not what
has been done,lnit what there is to do. It is not
what has, been a lid, but what is to be said with
which we ought to be principally occupied. lie-
actions are no longer in 0111. manners, and if one
drop of blood runs in a political revolution, there
is no certainty but that torrents will flow.
If, after the, measures which I propose, there
should be still some partial resistances, they may
be restrained by vigilance and firmness. 'rile lat-
ter quality was always that of Great Kings. An-
other quality is, however, superior to thai—pru-
lence. Sovereigns, whatever may be their power,
are subject to the - common law of necessity.
There are times when they must tranquillize in-
stead of excite ; Mien they must conciliate all,
and promote hope and confidence. Two doc-
trines are .opposed—let us liegin by deciding.
which of- the two should be followed, and whe-
ther we should remount against the torrent, or
descend easily'. If it is wished to remount, there
is nothing to expect from firmness—despotism-it-
self would be powerless. •
Fit mness is nothing, except in moderation.
The immortal Catherine. found that the word jus-
tice was too strong for man, and that he could
only support equity. Onee let the limit be esta,
Wished, and every one will feel that indulgence for
the past cannot eiitend to the present (20). The
same firmness under its double relation of force and
moderation will apply itself to all the acts of Go-
vernment, ,to all the parts, of public order ; it
will not stiffer Any deviation, any negligence, all
the parts will be restrained, all the grievances will

civil and political liburtl;, we have the a'tv4ll.t"-ge
of approximating to it in our social distnctions,

exterior eclat of a nation. There is nothing
