ADURESS OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, TRANS-
, LA I'ED FROM THE OFFICIAL COPY.
" SIRE.,—!t is with high sentiments of gratitude that your
fait:tit-I minim., the Deputies of the Departments, assembled around
.wer Throne, have heard front your Royal lips the flattering proof
et co-.V.ence w%ich you groat them. Happy as they are, Sire, to
litep!re you with such a sentiment, they will show that it is not un-
fosinit:d. by the inviolable fidelity of which they respectfully present
you the homage: they will show it not unfounded, by the loyal ac-
complishment of their duty.
Sire,—We rejoice with you at the events. which have con-
the p,:.:Le • of Europe, strengthened the unity existing be-
.sst•-•: you: inaj and yo,ir Allies. and put an end to a disastrous
we: in the May the unfortunate nation which your benevo-
lence has defended :•.3..tinst inevitable destruction, find its independ.
ever, its force. and i:s liberty, in the future lot which your majesty's
prot.retion is preparing for it.
" Sire, we pour forth our wishes for the success of your Majesty's
eelicitude, in concert with your Allies, for the reconciliation of the
• Pr.t.ces of the House of Brogans& It is certainly an object worthy
rt aour Majesty's care to put an end to the evils which afflict Por.
tbig.il, without attacking the sacred principle of legitimacy, which
is eqaally inviolable for Kings and nations.
" Your Majesty had suspended the effects of your resentment
against one of the Barbary Powers ; but you are now of opinion
that you ought not to defer any longer to avenge the insult offered
to your flag. We shall wait respectfully for the communications
itch your Majesty will undoubtedly think necessary to give us on
a subject so intimately connected with most Important interests.—
Sire, whenever it will be requisite to defend the dignity of your
throne, and protect the French Commerce, you may rely on the sup.
pert and courage of your people.
" The Chamber will concur with gratefulness in the measures
yoa will propose to ameliorate the position of superannuated sol.l
4;ers the laws which are to be presented respecting the judicial body
t, .d the administration, shall also meet with due attention.
" The reduction of the public revenue which your Majesty has
stleounced is a symptom of an afflicting nature ; we shall do
all in our power to investigate the cause of the distress which it
sti.lounces.

" Your Majesty has given orders for the proposal of a law fur
the paying off the public debt. The importance of the questions
that this project contains, and the obligation of keeping a strict
balance between the different interests which are connected with
them, will excite our solicitude to the highest degree; a just and
wise organization of the public credit will be a powerful source of
prosperity for France, and for your Majesty a new title to the grati-
tude of your subjects.
" But the necessary condition for the accomplishment of this
great blessing, and without which it would remain sterile, is security
for the future, which is the most solid basis of the public credit. and
the first want of industry.
" We have come at the sound of your voice from all parts of your
kingdom, and we lay at your feet, Sire, the homage of a faithful
people, still touched with having seen you the most benevolent
amidst the general benevolence ; and which reveres in your Majesty the
accomplished model of the most amiable virtues. Sire,your subjects re-
spect and cherish your authority ; 15 years of peace and liberty which
they owe to your august brother and yourselthave strongly impressed
them with the gratitude they owe to your Royal family ; the reason of
your subjects, now matured by experience and freedom of debates,
tells them, that it is especially in matters of authority that anti-
quity of possession is the most sacred of all titles ; and that it is for
their happiness, as well as your own glory, that time has placed
your throne in regions above the reach of tempests. Their convic-
tion coinciding, therefore, with their duty, presents the sacred rights
of your crown as the best guarantee of their liberties, and the in-
tegrity of your prerogative as necessary to the preservation of these
right 4.
" However, Sire, in the midst of the unanimous sentiments of
respect and affection with which your people surround you, their
minds are troubled by an anxiety which disturbs the security that
France was beginning to enjoy, stops the sources of her prosperity,
and might, were it to continue, become fatal to her tranquillity.
Our conscience, our honour, the fidelity which we have sworn, and
intend to keep to your Majesty, make it our duty to expose its cause
to you.
Sire, the charter which we owe to the wisdom of your august
predecessor, and which your majesty is firmly determined to consoli-
date, consecrates as a right the intervention of the country in the de-
liberation of the public interests. This intervention ought to be,
and is really, indirect, wisely moderate, and circumscribed to exact
limits, which we shall never suffer to be passed; but Is also positive
in its result, for it makes the permanent concurrence of the political
views of your Majesty's Government with the desires of your people
an indispensable condition for the regular administration of public
affairs. Sire, our loyalty, our affection, oblige us to say that this
concurrence exists no more.
" An unjust distrust of the sentiments and reason of France is
now the fundamental idea of the Administration. It afflicts your
people, because it is insulting to them ; and excites their anxiety,
bemuse it threatens their liberties.
" This distrust can never enter your noble heart. No, Sire,
France does no more desire anarchy than your Majesty despotism:
she is worthy that you should rely on her loyalty, as she relies on
your promises.
" Let your majesty decide between those who do not understand
a nation so calm and so faithful, and between us, who, impressed
with sincere sentiments of conviction, come to confide to your royal
bosom the affliction of a whole nation. Your royal prerogatives
have given your majesty the means of establishing between the dif-
(went powers of the state that constitutional harmony which is the
essential condition of the strength of the throne, and the grandeur of
• France."
