loyalty—to employ every exertion in to!,bing the fac-
tion in order to enrich the monarchy—to place before
the eyes of the country the Monarch ',rich as he is,
such as he wishes to be, strong and powerful, but just,
sincere, and generous, the King of his country, but
the father of his people, determined to render his
Clown respected, but faithful to the oath which he has
sworn—this was the task which Ministers imposed
upon themselves, after having studied their situation.]
reflected on the great lessons of history, meditated upon
the actual condition of the kingdom, mad examine 4
ith that restless arJour which was to,bq expected
from honest men labouring under a vast reZpoosibility,
into the surest means of averting Irons France those
misfortunes into which an imprudent and obstinate po-
licy might easily lead it.
All their acts, all their projects, all their speeches have
been conceived in this spirit, and directed to this end.
The name of concessions has sometimes been given to
their acts. If it is meant thereby that they have ad-
vised the King to develop e the consequences of t he con.
stitutios i
al and legal system, which it was his nten•
tion to maintain and to complete—if it is to be unJer-
stood that they were of opinion that in the general st tie
of the public mind more was to be gained for tl eCrown
by con.olidating the national liberty, such as it is de.
rived from the Charter, than by constantly eluding the
propo,ll of laws which ought to secure it, and by leaving
opinion to work itself gradually into exasperation in the
midst of mistrust and fear, such has been, in point of
fact, the conduct of the Ministry ; it has pi nposed to the
King concessions; but if it is intended tlitteby, that
the rights and preo-gatives of the Crown, the e•sential
functions of the Government, and the sacred interests
of religion, have been neglected or sacrificed to the de7
mands of party, or to a vain passion for popularity,
there is in such terms great calumny and injustice.
The Ministers are penetrated with this idea, that the
security of the tiorone demands the main•enance of our
new institutions; they know that our ancient institutions
are in ruins, and that it is not in any man's power to
rebuild them. They understand that a monarchy can-
not exist without institutions; that our Kings have nei-
ther tt,e wish nor the power to reign except according
to law ; ant', m ireover, that violence is a bad helpmate
to the power and plospetity of the State. The public
were of opinion that such were the ideas and such the
convictions with which Ministers ought to enter upon
ti.e system of policy which they have adopted. Deter-
mined to pet severe in it, they discharge ca mly and
courageously the duties which are impo e I up o them.
The most painful ref all, undoubtedly, is that which re-
lates to indisiduals. Too many changes in the person
reel of an Administration ate productive of vexation and
They are equally opposed to the interest of the
country, and to the influence of the Government. Per.
haps, also, there is some diner in lightly teaching
public functionaries that their zeal cf to-day may to
morrow be the cause of their di:grace and loin. The
dismissal of public Akers ought never to be employed
as an engine of government, except in rare instances,
and under narrow limits. The Ministry has shown dist
-uch are its sentiments; for it would be d fficult to
point out any Ministry of which the construction was
marked by a less number of rigoiceis mea-aire .
However, there ale occasions in which these measures
are commanded by teal twee si y.
The qiialtfication, of which a Mini.irs• stands nut t
in need, is the pos-essi.oi of the confi.lence of the puhirc.
If it be without this indispensable qualtficatien, it can-
e rt be useful either to the Prince or to the State.
confidence of the public is only acquired by 4, perfect
contort: its between its language and its actions; ai.d
this conform ty cannot eii r, except when these is list-
a:mist betATen tho-e who order and those who matte.
On t're or!ser hand, the body which is called upon to
give advice to the Monarch, ani to pi e,rare his d. cisions
and the projects of laws to be submitted to the Cham-
bers, has such intimite relations with the Ministry,
timihe, in so many points on the administration of
public affaits, and incurs in to many circumstance, the
:ante responsibility as the Ministry, that its existence
would become an obstacle instead r f a help, if thine
were not a unity t f views and ventlusei:ts between its
members and the Government.

Some changes have been made in the Pr• f cures,
and the new organization of the Council of State, reit-
tiered necessary by the last law of ti,tance,, has given
occasion to re move from regular service some of its
members, to recall to it others -alio bad been pre viols ly
dismi,sed, and to introduce into it some who tse e en-
ely new.

That which the Crown, the sole arbiter in such
ma:leis, has deemed necessary, is now actually com-!
plot. d. The functionaries may give themselves up in
11111 security to the accomplishment of their duties.—
Tho
e fuel; are prescribed to them are easy of corn.,
prehension, and offer nothing but satisfaction to their
consciences and their fidelity. • !
The principles of the Government are remote from
all excessive pretensions, from all exaggerated ideas.—
The Ministers of the King have no wish tither to teti o-'
wade is the past, or to confide the futette to faction, to
passion, or to imprui!ence. They are sribiriissive to the
law, and are desirous that it should be executed with
freedom and precision. They are determined to gua-
rantee to all the enjoyment of the rights conferred by
the charter, and firmly resolved to resist, without dis-
'guise or reserve, every attack that may be made on the
Royal authority, on the repect which is its due, and on
the sacred rights upon which it reposes. They judge
that there never is too great a number of men iiitese,ted
in the preservaioa of existing institutions; they arc of
opinion that the worst policy is that which tends to
that number, and that the best system for the
interest of the throne is that which tends to augment it.
What Government demands of its agents is, to imbue
themselves with these principles, and to apply them
loyally within the sphere of their functions. Let them
march in this path of devotedness, wisdom and firmness;
always ready to render an account of their actions, vi-
gilant guardians of a tutelary authority, strangers to
patties, severe on emergency, but just towards all, and
let them reckon upon the support of Government. That
support %ill never fail them.
