SYNDICS AND COUNCIL Of TY& CITY AND REI'DILIC of

GIN ILVA.
Id The French Authorities having retired from our
city and its territory, and a divin of one of the
armies of the High Powers who are labouring to se-
cure to Europe the blessings of peace being now
within our walls, it ii necessary there should be a
Government which may provide for the various

wants of our country.
" His Excellency Count Bubrut, commanding the
troops of his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty
in our territories, having, with that view, required
us to form a Provisional Government, its a way con-
formable to existing circumstances, which cannot b.'
of long duration, and to the beneficent inetentiors cf
the august coalesced Sovereigns, we have thought it
our duty to employ ourselves on an object so impor-
tant ; and the confidence which our fellow•citiz% s
have had the goodness to repose in us; as well as a
cinviction of our duties-tow:uric them, have deter-
mined us to take on ourselves this honourable task.
It is a task not altogether foreign to us, from the na.
tore of the offices which we have legally filled ; and
we have thought that we shall deserve well of oi,r
country by joining to ourselves some eitixais
justly enjoy the public esteem and affection.
66 In consequence, we, th 4 unders Kited, constitute
ourselvcs.a Government, under the title of Pr ovi,,ional
Syndics and Council, with the charge of adm mster.
ing, and causing to be administered, the pl.:cc and
justice, both civil and crirhinal, the finances, and
every thing that relates to taxes and public receive;
And expenditure; of preparing the laws and lei:llla-
tions which shall appear to us mast consentaneoui to
onr future existence; of delegating, if necessary, a
pert of these powers to Committees, which shall aid
us in our numerous occupitintis ; of adjoining to uc
fellow-labourers worthy of the public confidence ; in
a word, of providing for every thing that a wisely-
organized political establishment requires; and all
this until the temporary circumstance,' in which this
proceeding originat^s shall have ceased to exist.
66 Let as rely, then, on the bpiefi.:ent intentions
manifested towards us, and always exhibit ourselves
such as vse are at this moment, namely as an associa-
tion of enlightened and peaceak): men, connected to-
gether by sentiments of reciprocal good-will and con-
fidence, and by an attachment to-.dl the duties which
our country and religion impose upon us, and of which •
our ancestors have given us so fine an example.
