blkiking : we receive it as a pledge of the ap-
WcAing diminution of taxes. The spirit of the
,aft Ot is daily infusing itself more and more into
our laws, our manners, and our habits. Agrieul-
lose, commerce, and the arts are developing a new
activity ; a ling tmece is promised these by iii gene-
rous intentions which the Allied Sovereigns have ma-
nifested in those memorable Congresses, where French
policy -ecovererl, after our reverses, a dignity which
~jd.trn~ followed our success.
" No : a great nation, after being enlightened by
seat painful experience, will not sacrifice its real
good to deceitful systems. It has too well learnt,
that the weakening of the Royal authority is no less
fatal than its sbuses ; that all is irretrievably lost
• when she Chief Magistrate bends before the pride of
!twines ; and that be can never fulfil all his duties,
'seep, by guarding himself from the loss of any of
his rights "
The King replied,
" It is always with renewed pleasure that I re-
, ceive the espression of the sentiments of the Chamber
*. • of Peers. In the Speech which I pronounced at the
opening of the Session, I described my duties and
expressed my sentiments. It is with lively satisfac-
tion that I find in the Address of the Chamber of
Peers a perfect conformity with what I then said.
It is by such an agreement that we shall be able to
• maintain the rights of the Throne, and to insure the
• tranquillity of the State."
Immediately after this audience, the grand Depu-
ti teflon of the Chamber of Depaties, commissioned to
present to his Majesty the Address voted by the
Chrnber, was conducted to an audience of the King,
and presented in the same manner as that of the
Climber of Peers.
M. de Courvoisier, Vice-President of the Cham-
ber of Depoties, read to his Majesty the following
Address:—
" ;IRE Your faithful subjects, the Deputies of
the Departments, bring to the foot of the Throne the
- • homage of their profound respect and gatitude.
" Ti'e first desire of your People was for the na-
• tional independence, and Europe knows of what
' sacrifices they have been capable in order to recon-
• quer it. Our soil is at length free. The banner of
. France, planted by a Bourbon, alone waves on our
1- ramparts. All hearts gladdened on beholding it,
bless the King, and recognize the country.
46 Too long had the foreign occupation borne hard
= on our frontiers, on those departments admirable for
4'l their patriotism and fidelity. Your Royal words
N 'hove, with respect to them, already discharged a part
'! • e e public gratitude, and the Chamber of Demi.
• ties participates in the interest with which their heroic
• resignation has inspired your Majesty.
66 A noble union of sentiments and of efforts has
'every where seconded the forbearance of the Monarch
• to whom we owe our deliverance. France has re-
• -covered her influence and her rank. Our Legitimate
• ' and Constitutional Monarchy has become one of the
bases of the public law of Europe. Treaties, founded
on justice and morality, promise us a long peace, and
our forces will henceforth• only serve to confirm it.
" Now, Sire, when only we surround you, no
painful idea will be associated with the august so-
Semi!), which your Majesty announces to us. The
coronation of our Kings, the unquestionable testi-
mony of our ancient, will be the guarantee of our
new, liberties. In swearing to
,therChartes before
the God of your father and of ours, your Majesty
will glace it under the protection of Heaven itself,
•`-'rind religion will command its respect by policy.
" Thus will be consectated the finest title of
glory with which your Majesty will be presented to
•;' posterity. Far from us be the impious thought of
permitting it to sustain any injury ! We reject every
• pernicious principle which would &flick the social
order we owe to your wisdom. It is by the Charter,
' and by the institutions derived from its spirit, that
- France wishes to stand. France, Sire, is weary of
revolutions ; she has not forgotten bow much blood
und tears they have cost her.
• • " We learn without surprise, but with regret,
' that the state of the finances does not permit your
Majesty to propose the diminution of the. public
• burdens. You encourage us, however, to expect it
soon. Stich an assurance, the reward which our sa-
crifices have already obtained, will sustain the con-
k rage of your People ; and the Chamber of Deputies
L. will hasten the moment of a relief so dear to your
• blajesty's heart, by seeking to establish every eco•
• nomy which can possibly be introduced into the ex-
- periditore of the State.
" The situation of public credit will fix our atten-
tion. To what lasting wound can it be liable, when
our debt, less burdensome, in proportion to our re•
venues, • than those of other nations, is guaranteed
by a fertile soil, an extensive industry, internal
- tranquillity, fidelity to engagements, and above all,
by that Charter around which the French People, by
• one unanimous feeling, have sincerely rallied'
6‘ Yes, Sire, that sacred compact is the first basis
• of public credit, and it is by supporting and complet-
ing the institutions which flaw from it that the Mo-
• narchy will find the force it ought to possess in order
to preserve all liberties, secure all rights, rigidly
anaintain 'Mint order, and confound those who dare
• to declare themselves Its enemies.
" Such is the ascendancy of a constitutional autho-
rity that the Recrolting Law has every where obtained
submission and respect. At your call the French
youth flock to the standard of honour. The young
• warrior does not yield to him who returns to his
house, after having gloriously paid the tribute due to
his country.
' " The reparation of the evils which France still
1 endures, the increase of the benefits she already pos.
Imes, are equally attached to the maintenance of a
s.well•regalated liberty, such as befits a People en-
lightened by experience and ripened by adversity.—
' The French People will constantly repel whatever
• might compromise it, and the Chamber of Deputies,
the faithful interpreter of their wishes, will always
Set the example."
• The King replied—
: " I receive with pleasure the espression of the
• sentiments of the Chamber of Deputies. I have
opened my heart to you; I have made you acquainted
with my pains, my hopes, and sentiments. I see
with a lively satisfaction, from what you have ad-
dressed to me, that you have equally entered into the
one and the other ; and that I shall find in the Cham-
ber of Deputies the necessary support for maintaining
• public order, and healing the wounds of the State."
