the throne; but it was public votes which in the
first instance attached that right and that preroga-
tive to their birth. In a word, as the first source of
their authority came from us, kings ought to make use
of it fur our advantage. It is not consequently, Sire, the
law which ought to reign over nations : you are only
the Minister and first depositary.' Massillon was not
excommunicated ! Are we to believe that this policy
was that of a Legitimatist loving his country ? Or are we to
believe that these sentiments found in France a feeling
of repulsion ? Insensate men, who do not know our
France, and who speak to it a language which our fathers
never beard, and which they would never have compre-
hended I See now what was my line of policy; see how
I comprehended that the king and the nation could
affix the seal to a durable peace, and prof are for us days
of happiness, and a stability agreed to after so many ex-
periments. Legitimacy would never be possible in France
except on these conditions. It is for France to say this
openly; it is for the Legitimatists to proclaim it aloud. We
are more numerous than you, gen'tlemen of the circular, be
assured. And, what is my personality to me? It had no
other advantage than that of protesting cons tantly against a
current which was carrying away the Legitimatists from
their national course. To be convinced of this, kt the
first letter of M. Poujoulat end the circular of the five
be attentively read. I have combatted with all the
energy of my convictions, with the highest sentiments of
devotedness to France, and her traditions. If I am
alone, according to you, alone I will remain. The part
which I have to perform can no longer ha any other than
that of a man of good intentions, who protests against
the idea of his ever belonging to the party which has
just declared itself. I will be silent in future against all
attacks. If the most noble of causes brings valiant
champions into the field of national right, let them de-
clare themselves and I will follow them, but what can
they do until by a formal disavowal they shall have
ceased to be powerless?
