cation, and I arrived at the Chamber of Represen-
tatives before the dethronement, hich was already
the object of a proposition made by one of its Mem-
bers, was pronounced.
The act of alxiication, of which I had announced
the very near message, came at length very season-
slily to quiet the impatience and agincrion of the
Chamber. From that time my part was to change.
The more I hail insisted oil', Nae.ol.Eoat to make
him abdicate, the more I ought to halm h ...own him,
in this voluntary abdication, the interest of his fa-
mily and of his son, the more I found myself 'mond
by honour to speak in favour of the condition which
he had annexed to his abdication ; for if T hint
thought that I ought to bate contended against it, as.
a good Frenchman ; if to obtain it I had been so
circumstanced as to speak for the personal ioterest
of NAPOLEON, as %sell as for the general interest of
France, I have then fulfilled my promise, and given
to my propositions a shade and a tendency which
persons utterly strangers to what passed bet ween the
Emperor and me may have bulls interpreted.
As long as the question concerning the change of
government seemed undecided, my peculiar situation
compelled me to keep towards Naeot.zow the engage.
meals which, I had made to decide his determination.
As for the rest, liken trio. citizen, immediately after
the return of the King, I have given an example of
submission, and of the same principles of love I;.r
my country, the lively desire of seeing re-established
a Government which could insure the integrity of
oar country, national independence, the preserva-
tion of our institutions—all the guarantees, in sitort,
which should at the same time have national and in-
dividual interests. iodated me to repair to the A 'illy
of the Loire, to induce my brethren iu arms to ta'ly
round the Monarch, who alone can now 5z the
destinies of France.
