11P1ICH Or TICK ORATOR OF GOVERN MINT ON TN!

•MNESTY GRANTED TO THE &MIGRANTS.
Citizen ltscsiza addreffed the Senate as fol-
lows:

"Citizens Senators—A multitude of individuals
Rill remain infcribed on the lilt of Emigrants ;
and experience has demonflrated that by continu-
ing to proceed in the neceffarily flow mode of in-'
dividual erafitres, many years would elapfe be-
fore it would be poffible to pronounce entirely
upon the fate of fo many thoufands of men. In
the mean time, the infcribed individuals fuffering
under the law, in a flate of painful uncertainty
as to their defliny, wandering on a foreign foil, or
obliged to conceal themfelves in France, are de-
voted to the languor of defpair, to which they fee
no conclufion. In addition to this, the numerous
families with which they are conneeted by ties of
blood, affinity or interett, and who are in fome
meallire implicated in their fate, experience in all
the tranfaltions of focial life, in all their alliances,
and almoft all their domeftic arrangements, re.
flraints and difficulties which have difturhed and j
perplexed their minds for many years. The Go. 1
veriiment thought the time was at length come
for putting an end to this state of affairs, which 11
imperious circumftances formerly commanded,
but which ought to terminate with them. The
molt effeetual means of attaining this almoft ge- 1
ncrally &fired objeCt, is to fubflitute for the much
too flow meafure of partial erafures another mea.
flue at once more expeditious and more worthy
of the national magnanimity. An amnefty has'
at all times been reforted to, in order to efface
political offences, when, on the termination of civil
ditiurbance, circumflances admitted the fubflitu.
tine of indulgence for fevrrity. Let the amnefty
of to-day pronounce, with a very few exceptions,
the general erafure of the infcriptions cn the lift
of Emigrants! A Government flrong and pow-
erful, ref-peeled both at home and abroad, may ex-
ercife clemency without danger. What abfurd te-
merity would attempt to turn againft it that cle-
mency which is the molt evident demonflration of
its power ! Let us add that no time could be
better (elated for this grand all of remiflion, than
the for ever memorable epoch at which Peace has
been reilored to Europe, calm to the eonfcience,
and when the public happinefs, placed upon du-
rable foundations, difpofes every heart to indul-
gence and an oblivion of the pan. This indul-
gence, however, lhould have its limits ; and the
aft of amnefty which we bring to you in thename
of the Government, makes, from the general par-
don, fome exceptions which, with it, you will
doubtlefs deem indifpenfable. This pardon is far-
I. • • " am. .• t •

applies not only to the individuals comprifed in
the Amneliy, but likewife to thofe whore definitive
erafure did not precede the zoth of Oitober, iBot.
The Government has thought it neceffary that all
there individuals Mould continue fubjed to a fpe-
cial fuperintendance, until a difcreet fyitem of
condud, fupported for a pretty long period, Would
rural, on their part, a fufficient fecurity for the
public tranquillity. It is further neceirary that
the return of the perfons comprifed in the amnefty
Would not be fignalized by indifcreet claims of
refiitution, daring pretenfions, and proceedings
tending to difturb the repofe of Citizens who have
cnntraaed with the nation under the guarantee
of the public faith, and who had reafon to rely
upon the irrevocability of the as emanating from
its power. With there precautions, the amnefty,
dilated at the fame time by the national dignity,
the prayers of humanity, and that juti confidence
which the ,Government Would have in its own
Rrength, prefents nothing which can afford any
reafonable caufe of uneariners. You will thus,
Citizens Senators, doubtlefs be of opinion, that
this ad prefents nothing incompatible with the
fpirit of the Conilitution, of which you are the
faithful guardians, and you will haften to render
it more folemn and auguli by converting it into a
Senatus Confultum."

The Senate took the preceding mefrage into con-
federation on the 26th, and paired a Confultum
accordingly, which was on the fame day promul-
gated as a law by the Filmy CousuL.
