es We have learnt with grief, that hi the depart-
ments of the South, several of our subjects were ie.
cently guilty of the most culpable excesses ; that
under pretext of constituting themselves the Ministers
of public vengeance, Frenchmen, gratifying their
hatred and their private revenge, had shed the bh'od
of Frenchmen, even since our authority has been uni.
venally restored and recognised throughout the whole
extent of our kingdom.
" Certainly great crimes and infamous treasons
have been committed, and have plunged France in
an abyss of evils : atrocious persecutions have been
atiereisad against'oolse cit-our faithful subjects, who; A
following the.bantiers*ofour dear nephew, have cou-
rageously endeavoured with him to save France; hot
the punishment of 'these crimes ought to be national,
solemn, and regular: the guilty ought to fall under
the se/o4of the law, and not under the hand of in- ,
dividuals._ It would .be an offence against justice,
perpetuating discord, and opening the door for a thou-
sand disorders ; and it would be overthrowing social
order to constitute one's self at once judge and exe-
cutioner for Offences received,, or even for crimes com-
mitted against our person.
Our intentions and our orders have sufficiently
made known that the nation shall have justice on the
authors of these evils; and that the indulgence which
has been granted to weakness or to error, shall not
be extended to the guilty, whose public and avowed.
criminality may be punished w;diout exciting alarm
is the crouds mho have obeyed, at the same time
groaning under the force of circumstances.. We
hope that this odious enterprise of preventing the ac
tion of that laws and of our authority, has entirely
ceased. It will be considered as an attack upon us
and upon France ; and, however painful, nothing
shall prevent us from punishing such crimes.
" Our worthy nephew, whise name is intimately
connected with the sentiments of love and affection
manifested by our provinces of the South, who by his
character of obedience, conciliation, and strength,
has preserved them, and stilt preserves them, irons
the evils of invasion, shall also be our ro.:ndatory to
save them from civil discord, and to repress apd pu-
nish those who shall dare teabuse hilts!. our, name.
But, doubles, the noble tie, the noble c..nnettion
established between him ind the inhanitants of the
South, shah not be broken by the dalplbility of men
eager for vengeance and disorder.. It is in tl:is con-
fidence, and with this hope, that we hay.. recomnien.
Ided, by precise orders to our Ministers anti Magis-
trates, to cause the laws ti' be respected; and neither
to thew indulgence nor weakness in toe protecuti.n
of those wbo have violated them, and who shill at•
tempt to violate them in future, well convinced that
our voice shall not be heard it vain in a c ;wary
where we have received so many proofs of fidelity
and affection.

MsME:'.l, AUGUST 26.
The Prefect of the I)4f:same& of the Gard to his
Fellow-Citizens :

Frenchman, Inhabitints of Nimes and of
Gard—On the 306 of July last I addressed you'in
tie language of reason, law, and truth ; you seemed

to listen with pleasure and with confidence. Never-
theless, new troubles agitate your country, and even
this very night several assassinations, the criminal
authors of which, hide themselves in darkness, have
filled the inhabitants of Nismes with consternation,
deceived the vigilance of our National Guards, and
deeply torn the 'mane of your magistrates.
u Unknown agitators deceive the people,.and lead
them astray by audacious provocations, chimerical
terrors, aid absurd intelligence :.they even abuse
their love lor•the King, to inspire a passionate and
credulous class, disquietude even as to the personal
safety of the Sovereign, defiances of his power and
justice, and terrors for the future.

ft They deceive you—they precipitate you into an
abyss of evils—And, although without hope, (their
wishes being for ever annihilated), they thus avenge
themselves upon you for the ruin of their horrible

power. They wish to drag you into the same gulph
into which they have been dragged themselves by the
indignation of men and the vengeance of HILAVILN.
"I ask of you only t*o things :—Do not be afraid of
what they can do. Do not believe a word they say.
64 The King is in his capital, seated on his august
throne more securely than ever; surrounded by the
love and absolute devotion of more than 20 millions
of faithful subjects, the veneration of all Europe, and
*v •Erection of all Sovereigns.
•6 Bonaparte is already transported two thousand

leagues.from the shores of Europe, and on an insu-
laced rook, goes to expiate in the torments of an im-
becile rage the crimes of his life, and the misfortunes

of the wrsid.

•' The Members of his beggarly farfly, who have
takeavart in his sacreligions enterprize, are dispersed
and imprisoned in various fortresses of France and
Europe.

N The poor child you hear of, the vain phantom
whit which the factious menace you, is not recognized
by the• Emperor of Austria, nor by any of the Coati-
neat:4l Powers.

66 Ttie sword of the law is already raised on the
heads of the chiefs of the horrible plot.
II Royal justice. begins to strike the most guilty.
The King has announced, that he wishes the national
justice slwuld be completely satisfied by the repre-
sentations of the nation itself, assembled in the two

Chambers, which are about to meet. Wait, therefore,
for this great and secure justice.
