yourselves. Among those Frenchmen whose•alLc.
tions even in a foreign land still bound them to their
country, there are many who will not participate in
the benefit of an equitable restitution, and of 'whom
it was impossible for you to repair the losses or as.
suage the misery. It now belongs to the Sovereign
alone to succour their honourable indigence.—
However, being unable to foresee to what arronnt
claims supported by such titles may be ermitili,d,
observing daily to collect around him that crowd of
unfortunate men too long separated from the meat
family, the King cannot contemplate hut with the
most lively anxiety the extent of their wants, and tl:e
limited nature of the benefactions which it will be in
his power to bestow. Animated, however, by the
confidence inspired by your generous intentions, and
especially confiding in the co-operation which they
promise him for the future, he will endeavour to di:.
charge this debt contracted towards misfortune. Your
wisdom and justice, Gentlemen, cannot misconceive
the motives which guide the King in the proposition
of which the King has done me the honour to make
me the organ. It only remains, that I read to you
the plan of law which I have to present to you in the
name of his Majesty :
' Louts, by the grace of Goo, fec.—The Chamber of Peers
of our kingdoms, and that of the Deputies of our departmen:
faithful to the soutinterts of love and affection which they parti-
cipate with the rest- of our subjects, have ezrressed to us a wish
that certain debts, contracted in foreign cart, by us, and by the
Princes of our house, sheedd be adopted by the State, and dir.
charged as forming put of the public debt ; for these causes, &e.
• Art. i. The sums for which the King acknowledges himself
to be personally indebted to divers individuals, arc acknowledged
as debts of the State, to the amount of 30 millions.
" 2. A Commission appointed by the King shall examine the
titles produced by the creditors. According to its dectsiens, when
ratified by the King, there shall be inscriptions in the great book
of the public debt, commencing with the current half-year of the
Ist of January, 1816.
" 3. The Commission shall decide from what date the interest
is to run, anteriorly to the lit of January, 1816, which shall he
paid by the intendant of the Treasury of the Crown, out of the
civil list funds.
" 4. The budget of 1816 shall provide the interest on the new
inscription, commencing with the lit of January of that yen."
This plan of law was ordered to be printed, and
previously discussed in the Bureaux.
