conferred upon me, I will support your ea-use before

ustice.

You may rely upon the generous love of
our country, of the French Emperor, who will ac-

characterised your resolution during the late mo-

suffices to put an end to civil disorders.
" When your numerous volunteers arrived,
during the days of the national struggle, to enrol
themselves under my flag, you knew that Piedmont
would not go to war for herself alone, but for our
common country.
" To-day the unanimity of your wishes, and the
order which you observe at home, is very gratifying
to my heart, and nothing better could insure your
future destiny.

duty, and also to her common interest to finish the
era of disorder, and thereby satisfy the legitimate
desires of the people."
