PROCLAMATION TO THE HELVETIC PEOPLE.

le CITIZENS OF HELVETIA,

" In announcing to you four months ago that
the French troops were about to quit our territory,
the Executive Council declared to yon at the fame
time that conttant obedience to the laws, a fpirit
of confidence, and of peace and pnpiipity in
maintaining the eftablithed order of things, could ,
alone prote4 your independence, while contrary
difpofitions, tumult and diflenfion, would infallibly
bluing back to us foreign armies.
“ Citizens of Helvetia, you have not given cre-
dit to our words 1 Amtlitionr, men have made
you embrace the caufe of their intereits and their
paillons ; and while a part of you railed your
voices to overturn the Contlitutional and National
Government, another, by their filence and inaCtion,
became accomplices in the civil war.
66 What has been the refult Scarcely a few
weeks had elapfed when French troops, ten times
as numerous as before their departure, penetrate
into pout Cantons: they take from you thofe arms
which you direeted againft your qoVernment, and
thus declare to Europe that you are both incapable
of remaining in peace, and unworthy of defending
yourfelves.

" Say now, Citizens of Helvetia, to whom you
are indebted for the entry of thefe troops? Is it to
the Senate and Executive Council, whofe fault on
the contrary was, that they confented too loon to
their departure, and whole whole care fey Come
time pall has tended to prevent by a free and loyal
acceptance of the mediation of the FIRST CONSUL
the evils which we have reafon to fear from his
indignation ? Or is it to the Infurredional Autho-
rities, the alTembiy which &awed to itfelf the
name of the confederate Diet of Schwitz ?—that
aftembly, which ihuffling, in regard to the condi-
tiens of the propofed mediation, promifing to dif-
folve itfelf, and hill continuing its intrigues, an-
nouncing peace, and retaining .foldiers under
arms, wilhed a foreign force to enter the country,
that they might be able to fay, We yielded only to
force. Wretched vanity, which gratified itfelf at
the expence of the whole nation I Fatal error of
pride, calculated to precipitate -the country into
•complete. ruin; which would indeed have been
precipitated had not the generofity of the FIRST
CONSUL been equal to his power, and if he did not
Rill perfift to with for our hippinefs, notwithfland-
ing the efforts of his enemies and of yonrs.

" However, Citizens of Helvetia, the Execu-
tive Council are informed that the members of this
feditious aftembly, and of the committees which
it eftablifhed in the Cantons, not conant with hav-
ing confecrated, in formal protefts, their foolifh
pretenfions, !till endeavour to mislead the people,
in regard• to their real fituation, and to infpire
than with falfe hopes of foreign aid ; to intimidate
them by threats, and to make them deteft the in-
tentions with which the Helvetic Government ad-
dreffed themfelves to the FIRST CONSUL% to invite
him to become the fupreme arbiter of bur dif-
ferences.

" But we {hall in the firft place reply to thefe

men, that this mediation they folicitcd alfo : The

letters of the chiefs of the petty cantons to the
FIRST CON S ut. and the French Miniaer, the plans

of a conftitution in which they openly requeftcd
their good offices, apd the fending deputies to
Paris, are fo many proofs of the defire which they
had to intereft the French Government in their
caufe. It was only when the FIRST CONSUL pro.
nounced and required above.all things the ceffation
of a war, which armed citizens againft citizens,
and brothers againft brothers, that they were Peen
to reject a mediation folicited by themfelvcs, and
which they dexteroufly employed to increafe the
number of their partifans.
44 We will tell them alib, that if we have re-
quelled the mediation of the FIRST CONSUL, it is
becaufe of all the Powers invited by their pofition
to take an intereft in the deftiny of Helvetia,
France is the only one which has acknowledged
our independence, confecrated by its care in a fo-
lemri treaty ; the only one which can exercife over
us influence pf proteoion and fuNiort. The
hiftery of Switzerland for four centuries, our
revolutitm, and the years which follo'wed it, fuf-

protefted the cradle of the Confederation,
Citizens of the Helvetian Republic, Lave a t],c,u.
fand times more motives for being convinced (j:,
" Finally, we will fay not to there men, fcr
they will not Ellen to us, but to the nation
that equality of rights among the Cantons,
abolition of hereditary riivilegcs, and the liber,„
(of the citizens, being a dcpofit committed into c:r
hands, to be pm
ferved whatever it may chit, w
were not even allowed to hetitate derma
nd:
the mediatiPn of the only Government
fave among us thefe principles. ca 11.

44 So that the peps we have taken with t!.is
are merely a neceirary confequence of the nat;Dn:.l
with, emitted in favour of tittle pi inc;ples at q:e
time of the acceptance of the Conftitution.
" Such is the anfwer which the Extcutivc Conn-
til owe to this part of the accufatioas of their ad.
verfaries."

,4 Citizens of Helvetia, you are going to be re.
quired to furnifh by extraordinary conti ibuticas
for the maintenance of thofe troops whore your
errors have made to enter into your terrimries.—
Stibmit to a neceffity which you cannot tax
iniuflice. Open your hearts to clifpofiti;,as of fra.
ternity and focial order. This is the only way by
which you can fhorten the dqration of your eyili.
Shew yourfelves at length •vorthy of being 11i,1
called a nation, and you will remain a nation.
BONAPARTE defires that ht, may [',ill have it is

" For us, Citizens, thanks to the care of that
gener'ous Mediator, our tail: will foon be tinifnea.
Returning to the clafs of private individuals with
thole who have fo cruelly calumniated our condua,
we 11141 always be ready to anftver thoir imput;•

we would not have made had it been profitaUe to

our country.
