PAR /S, MAkCti 18.—Yesterday, at one, His Ma-
jesty being seated on his Throne, surrounded by the
Grand Dignitaries, the Ministers, and Great Officers,
and the Mernberi of the Council of State, the Grand
Master of the Cerenionies. introduced M. ME tzt,
Vice-President of the Italian Republic, attended by
M. MAtlscrtALchtt, Ambassador of that Republic,
the Gtear Oicers-of.Statt of that Re.tt‘ bat, and-the
Representatives of its principal. Public Bodies—
M. Mer,zl addressed the Emperor in the following
terms

SIR 24-You have ordered me to assemble to.
getherohe
,consulta of .State, and the Deputation of
the-Italian Republicond to invite them to.take into
conSideratiiin the (Ned mOit important for their pre-
sent aridiuturerdectinies, the form of. their Govern.
mot., AI have the honour, Sire, to present to, you,
in the. result of their labours, the wish they have
formed. The first consideration that struck :the
Ininds'of the Assembly produced a convidicii, that
tit.wasiMpossible to preserve longer the present 'form
,I'vithout.the, peril, of remaining far behind the,rapiti
course of events- That characterises the epoch in
which we live. The Constitution of Lyons had all the
charatieristics of being provisional ; It was but the
effect ofrircuinstanees ;a systentconstitotionally -too
weak to answer the views of durability and.peeservib.
tion. The urgent necessity of changing it is demons
strated rcfiedion, as it is generally felt. In set.
ont.from tiiis point, every -thing was simple.
The system of a Constitutional Monarchy
,was
pointed out to us by the pr Tress of enlightened
reason,,, and. by the conclusive results 'of eXpe.
rience--and the Monarch .way pointed out by all
the sentiments r)f gratitude, love,. and cfinfidetiee.
Sire, in a Country that you have conqoered„, Te.
Conquered, created, organized, and governed 'hi`,
(hero) ; in a Country where every th,Lng recalls your
exploits, arrests your genius, and breathes forth your
benefits, but one wish could be formed, and that wish
has beenexpressed. The Assembly has not negled-
edltt weigh with ,trite attention the ulterior, views
to which your profound wisdoM had direeted them.
Sat 'though these views .went, universally important
arid perfedly concordant with our dearest interestfr„-
it .was !‘out . tiifACukc to convince -ourserves that
things' %Vete riot' yet sufficiently mature for . the
attainment,4 this last degree of, political indcpen.

piness, more solemn guartntee,or the consolidation

counsela'of your-high wisdom to fix Kier, term of it,
to disarm foreign jealousy. ,It belongs only t 9.
the moat_ ge,neroos moderation to. Cetisb.ot to find
that rime exadly in the moment of 'ebr shiners.
Assembly, penetrated -with. all the ..proots
of your, kindness 'which have marked AO lift.
ceding communications, has given way t<< that
full coofidence. which was due to you ; and its `last
with, And its last prayer, demand of you a constii:‘'
lion in :which the principles you have already pro.
claimed shall ,be consecrated, principles, which
eternal reason calls out for, and without which she
fate of nations, would be abandoned to the passions of
. Deign, Sire, to accept, deign to peeled the
wish , the, Assembly ,over: which I have the bo.
flour to preside—the interpreter of all the senti.

homage.. It will report to them with joy, that

which bipd yon to the' preservation, the defence,.

His Majesty rep: in t.. owing term,
From the. moment of our first appearance In'
yobr multi* we hive ever entertained - the desire
of establishing the Italian Nation free and independ-
ent ; we ha.ve prosecuted this objet in the midst
of the uncertainty of events. In the first instance,
welormed the inhabitants of the Right Btnk of the
Po into the Cispatline,' and those of the Left Bank
into the ,Transpitdane! Republic. Mote- fortunate
circumstances, have since enabled us to unite those
States, and to form of them theCisalpineaepuhlie.,
In the midst of the manifold 'objects which then'en-
gaged our attention, our People of Italy were'afrea-
etl by the interest which we". felt in every thing
that could secure their prosperity and happiress ;
and when, a few years after, we learned on the
Banks of the, Nile, that our work was overturned,
we became sensible to the misfortunes to which you
were a prey.. Thanks to the, invincible bravery of
our Armies, we made an appearance at Milan when
our People of Italy supposed us still on the shores of
.the Red Sea.:.,;Our _first wish, whilst yet covered
with the dust and blood of Battles, was the re-
organixatioti.of the Italian NatiOn.
"- The Statutes of Lyons committed the sove-
reignty to the Consulta and, the Colleges, in which,
we had concentrated the different elements .avhich
constitute Nations. You then believed it fur, your
interest-that we should be at the head of your Go-
vernment ;. and, still persevering in the Same opi.
nion, .you now, will that we should be the, first of
your Kings. The separation of the Crowns of
France and Italy, which might be aavatitageous to
insure the itidependence of your posterity, would at
the: present moment be fatal ,to your existence and
tranquillity. I shall keep this.. Crown ;Ana only
.so lonitas your interests shall require ; and I shall
-with-pteasure see the moment arrive, when I can
'place it on 'the-head of a Younger Prison, will.),
animated by my spirit, may continue my work,
an be on all occasions ready to sacrifice his person
and interests to the security and happineis of the
People,over;whom.Providence, the Constitutions of
the Kingdom, and my wish, shall have called him-to
reign.l,
