FRENCH PAIRS,

[RECEIVED THIS' MORNING.]

[Front the Gazette Offirie,lel
--PROCLAMATION OV THE KING.
" by the Grace of God,. King of Fraint,

and Navarre, &c.

'C We hare learnt' with grief, that in the de-

pparttt►cut of the South many of our subjects have
recently been guilty of the most culpable -excesses;
that under the pre,text of making themselves the
mini-ters of a vindictive public, the French, to
sltisly their private hate and desire for vengeance,
have shed the blood of the French, even since.ohr
authority 11,-,s been universally re-established acid
recognised throughout the whole extent of our
kingdom.

" Certainly great crimes anal infamous treasons
Lave been committed, and I4ve plunged France
into an abyss of woes : atrocious persectitions

hay% been exercised against our faithful ste)jvcts,
who, following, the banner of our well beloved

nephew, courageously attempted' with hint to save --
Prance;. but the puniAment of these crimes ought
to be national, solemn, anti regular the guilty
imght td fall %miler the sword of the law, and not
sink beneath the weight of individual vengeance.
This would be to offend justice, to perpetuate
discoed, and to open the door to a thousand dis-
orders ;—it would go to overthrow social order,
if these should make themselves at once judge and
executioner, to punish the injuries which they
themselves have received, or even those
have been committed against our person. Our
intentions and our orders have sufficiently made
it known to the nation, that justice shall be clone
on the authors of the present evils, and -that the
iodulgence shetvo to weakness, or error, will not
be extended to the guilty,. whose public crimes,
which are it) proof, may be proceeded! against,
without causing alarm to those, who doubtless
obeyed them with regret, from the force of eir-
eumstances; We hope those odious 'proceedings,
which anticipatC the operation of the laws and
_ the exercise of our authority, have. already
ceased. Continued, they roust be regarded as
attempts against as, and against _France ; and
hoWever lively the emotions of our grief will be
if compelled forcibly to repress them, no means
will be neglected to punish such crimes. Our
worthy- Nephew, whose name most heuceforth he
connected critic those sentiments of love and of devci-
lion wlrich have been manifested in our departmeuts
bf the South ;—who, jby his characteristic obe-
dience, conciliation, and energy, has -preserved
them and still preserves tinter from, the evils of in-
vasion, will be also changed,with our mandate, to
. save them from civil discord, and to repress and
punish those who attempt to abuse our name and
his. But without doubt the generous tyc which
is established bet ttEed hire and the people of the
South, Nvjttiot permitted to be broken, by the
culpable- errors of a few then, eager for yen-,
gealICC and disorder. It is in this confidence,
and with this hope, that we have recommend-
ed to onr Ministers anti Mau,istrates, by lire-
rise orders, 'to eance the -law-s to be strictly

tvipecred, aind not to shot, itnittlgeirce or weak-
itess air the pursuit of those by whom they
have been violated, or who may yet attempt to
violate them, convinced that our voice %%ill not
he heard in vain in a country from which we have
received so many proofs of fidelity and affection.
