Majesty to transier that right to him who would i'iheuit
it alter me, and by that act to sozura the stabiiity of the
Empire. With respect to myself, I shall add by this
abdicati n, a new warranty and a further power tics that
obligation, into which& I entered voluntarily and so•
lemnly on the occasion of the divorce from my first
wife. All the circumstances of my present situation,
induce me still more to adopt this measure, which will
prove to the Empire and the whole world the purity
of my sentiments.
" May your Imperial Majesty receive my wish with eondeseen-
'lon, may you determine our Illustrious Mother to accede to it, and
to unction it by your Imperial approbation.

set an example to all your faithful subjects, and to all who are
animated by a love for our dear country.
